They have mowed lawn and housework as exercise. I always feel I burn more calories than they give me after mowing the yard in the summer sun but I would rather underestimate than overestimate

@conniewilkins56 sounds like it will be great for him and you once you get there. Enjoy your time with him and the kids!

Eating at maintenance today. I have a raging sinus infection and my body needs fuel to heal itself. At least that’s what the dr says. Let hubby make dinner while I rested. Chicken bites, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. 🤦♀️ He sure went for broke!

Hey Connie. It has been a while. Back at it. Glad to see you’re still here and living your best life!

Hubby decided to make whitefish for dinner since it is much healthier than red meat. I’m not a fish eater at all. I ate a filet. Less than 100 calories so it’s super high protein for very little calories, however it still tasted like fish. Lol He’s on a mission to find a fish that I will like. My poor stomach may not…

Ate a bit too much yesterday and scale came up to 206. Good lord. That’s a big jump from one day of crappy eating. Lol. Back at it today.

Little bit of a splurge yesterday. My son wanted to make chicken bombs (he’s learning to cook). Not the healthiest meal but it sure was tasty and I ate a little so not to go overboard.

We buy Bob Evans mashed potatoes. They are in the cold section or deli depending on which Walmart I’m at. They are actually close to the real thing and they cook in the microwave. Super easy!

Went to the water park and closed all three rings today!! ✅ track everything and have an overall deficit at the end of the week- super under today with all the exercising I did. Helps to bank some calories for my sister’s birthday party on Saturday! ✅ move purposefully at least once a day-swimming ✅close 2 rings every day

@Angel1960 i had a sleeve done 6 years ago and still have to track my calories. It was an amazing decision that I don’t regret in the slightest however if you don’t fix your eating it won’t work. My stomach has stretched and I can eat full portions now but it gave me the huge jump to get healthy. I have several friends…

I had a little woosh this morning. Maybe my water weight has finally all come off or my body said that it was ready to get on board too. Who knows but I’ll take it. I only input my stats here once a week on Friday so hopefully it will stay for tomorrow’s weigh in. Either way I’m happy to be seeing progress! Almost back to…

I agree that the people that I have met here have helped a great deal through this journey. Always good for a congratulations or a good kick in the butt. I also enjoy that it isn’t all about weight loss or gain. We are after all still people outside our weight!

My son had a big fall today and cracked his head. We are on concussion watch. So he got to pick dinner tonight. He wanted stacked enchiladas (some weird meal my best friend makes when he is at her house). I was able to reduce the amount of stuff on it and stay well without my calories. In fact it wasn’t that bad at all.…

Your woosh is coming! Super frustrating on the shirt term though!! Keep with it

Same on Tuesday as Monday. I’m struggling to get two rings closed. Not going to get it done today either. But I’m doing really great at tracking and staying under my calories so I’m still happy. ✅ track everything and have an overall deficit at the end of the week- under for the day even with my tummy sandwich ✅ move…

Rotisserie style pork loin with corn and green beans and sweet potato casserole for dinner tonight. I tired a turkey sausage breakfast bowl this morning. Not to bad and I was able to make it until dinner with a light snack. I am obsessed with smart pop popcorn. The mini bags are only 100 calories and it’s a great size for…

July 12 ✅ track everything and have an overall deficit at the end of the week- under for the day even with my tummy sandwich ✅ move purposefully at least once a day-yard work ❌close 2 rings every day-only 1 ring today.

Made my Holiday Sandwich. It was amazing. A little ugly because I toasted it with my Gorge Forman grill. It was higher in calories than I would like. I grossly underestimated the amount of calories stuffing has. I’m total my sandwich was 654 calories but worth every bite. I was totally full after eating it. I do understand…

Scale this morning was a bit shocking. Moved a few lbs down. I know water weight but it made me feel better! I am going to go to my workout class tonight. I haven’t been in a while and I know it is going to kick my butt. I’m ready for it though. I know that doing that will allow me some extra calories for this Holiday…

My Walmart sells a bunch of different cauliflower rice combinations. I buy some regular but they also have some that have veggies in it that I use for stir fry and chicken fried rice. It’s really not bad and super low in calories. I also like that if I’m in a hurry they are steam in the bag ready so a few minutes in the…

Yes. I do a competition each with my sister on our Apple watches. I want to close my stand (get up and move fr at least 1 minute every hour for 12 hours) and my move ring (how many extra calories I earn). The third ring is exercise ring (30 minutes) this one is harder to close because walking doesn’t count and I don’t plan…
-
That’s my plan. I have too many kitchen appliances that I’ve only used once so I gave my 16yo nephew my panini maker. I know if he brings it back to my house I’ll never get rid of it. Lol. I did some Pinterest looking today and found a few recipes I want to try this week as well. A shrimp bowl that I’ll use frozen peas and…

I have been obsessing about this sandwich I had when I was in Florida. Like seriously thinking about it a lot. So tomorrow I’m making this sandwich. I will figure out how to make it as healthy as possible and even if I have to run around the block for some calories I will make it work! Holiday Turkey Sandwich from Earl of…

July 9 ✅ Log everything and stay within my calories for the day ✅ Do some kind of purposeful movement Today was supposed to be a rest day but I got a fancy to clean my bedroom and bathroom so I cleaned for 2 hours this morning. Rest of this rainy day is totally movie time! @lauriekallis when does the week start? I’m going…

41 lbs is nothing when you look how far you’ve come! You’ve got this.

I’m still sticking with it. Baby steps. Heading to White Water today to do some water slides. I always max out my exercise ring on water park days. No way to really measure how many calories I earn but it kinda equals out since I have to eat park food. I’ll get a chicken and rice bowl with little rice more black beans.…
