Got up early and lazed in bed for a bit, then hopped on treadmill with trashy mag ;) Great eating yesterday...until 8pm. I JUST NEED TO HAVE A PROTEIN SHAKE AFTER DINNER! Also today I'm wearing an XL sweater that hasn't fit since 2007! This morning the scale showed my lowest weight in 7 years but I'm not sure I believe it…

1. One gold star! How did I do it? Why, I was too lazy to go out and buy sweets since I don’t keep any at home. 2. I did food prep three days last week. And made all my work meals and snacks and have backup lean cuisines at work. Booyah! 3. Four silver stars. One day last week I had a single, chocolate covered strawberry…

got up early & did a little cardio work, healthy eats... very hungry now though more tomorrow!

Busy day yesterday & was on track for a healthy day until...hubs came home (yay!) and reeeeeally wanted chick fil a. Even tough I haven't eaten there for years on principle, I caved. I had the grilled chicken meal but went overboard & got a dessert. I thought the guys would split it with me but they didn't. Today I am also…

Looks there are good things on the horizon for many of us so, yay! Lost a little and am happy a lot. Must dash to pick up tot. Have a happy, healthy & warm weekend!

A quick hello. Got up this am & hit the bike, over 10k steps today. The last couple of days I've been having my morning snack first, my breakfast second, then my afternoon snack, then my lunch later in the afternoon. It helps me not come home freaking starving. Doing okay. Seriously considered getting junk food tonight but…

If we are MFP pals then you know I fell off the wagon pretty hard last night (I was that thunk you heard). If we're not MFP pals, why not? Today is a new day and I hit TJ’s before work and have plans for a lunchtime walk. And I’m guzzling water like it’s my job. My husband is going out of town again (third trip in 2…

I subscribe to US Weekly* and I'm only allowed to read it while on the treadmill or bike at home. Yesterday my husband commented I must be slacking because the pile of trashy mags is big. He's right—the last couple of months I got in a lot of activity but not so many workouts. I need both! :) After Friday’s killer upper…

1. No gold stars yet. I actually have been LOVING this 20 calorie, fat-free hot chocolate that has just 4g sugar. It’s very cozy and warm and delicious. Plus helps me feel full when I drink it. It’s a little treat I can have daily, I keep the box at work. 2. I did food prep three days last week. And made all my work meals…

Hello hello and happy Saturday! Last I night I made steamed broccoli and ordered pizza. It was delish! We waited too long to eat so I had more than I had planned plus it was super good. I froze the leftovers in individual bags for my kid's lunch. Yesterday's trainer workout was brutal? I fell asleep on my heating pad @…

Thank you all for the nice words about my good bloodwork. I can’t wait to take that info to my doc. Great threadstarter! My tot always wants to come to “exercise class” when I go to Pilates. Maura, hope that you had a good run yesterday. Happy birthday, mini-Sherry! DterMined, you certainly jumped back in with both feet…

HELLO TO ALL AND I KNOW I'M YELLING I'M SO EXCITED I CAN'T STOP MYSELF! I GOT A BLOODWORK REPORT AND 3/4 TESTS RANG IN THE NORMAL RANGE FOR THE FIRST TIME! I'm seriously over the moon about this! My glucose went from 93 to 84! I am thrilled! Cholesterol from 219 to 165! My triglycerides are too high still but they went…

Still thinking about the struggle/quit threadstarter from last week. Great words. So after I posted my November healthy goals in the other thread, I went in the kitchen and it had TONS of sweets. Silver star for me! This morning I got up and hit the treadmill for about 25 minutes while I read a trashy mag. Last month I was…
-
My big picture November/December goals are: avoid added sugars, be prepared, don't waste cals on blah food, and after a splurge, get back on track with the next meal. However, for this to work I need to have SMART goals so here goes:* Give self a gold star on calendar on days I avoid added sugars altogether * Be prepared…

Valma, so sorry to hear. Big hugs to you from me!!! What a special person she must have been. Of course it's been emotional for you. And I'm glad that you can attend the service. Twice this year I dealt with grief---once with lots of emotional eating, once with very little. Progress, not perfection. What a lovely gift from…
-
Tired. Long day---but I made decent food choices and got in a nice lunchtime walk with a work pal. Sometimes I don't feel 40, tonight I really do.
-
1. Workout clothes laid out? Um, not so much. I haven’t gotten in many am workouts this month. When life was crazy/hectic/sad/etc., I put am workouts on hold this month. Made it my business to walk during the day. 2. I got in a 5 minute workout 6 days last week. Last week I met my step goal 5 times 3. I did include an…

Maureen, hope you enjoy your son's visit. And sorry to hear about your kitty, I hope he turns up. Sherry, sounds like you are ready to start the week on a healthy foot. Yesterday I made some food choices that were the best I could make at the time---like a bag of goldfish rather than going to McD. And when I came home my…

Great thread starter! Sat: Pilates (no other students came so I got a private lesson) and outdoor activity with family (my hubs is very inactive so that was a huge win) in the am. Went to a little shindig in mid-afternoon and despite having a protien bar & banana on the way over I was hungry and yes had cheese and…

Happy Friday all! Got my *kitten* kicked by my trainer at 6am and have gotten in 9k steps already. Must run, just wanted to say hello. HELLO!
-
Man alive! Vacations cancelled, toes hurt, sore muscles, chilly inside... Glad to see you're playing hooky from work, Marla. What a great NSV, Laura! YAY! It's super super busy at work and my eating has been okay. WW tomorrow though I think I'm about even from where I started before I went out of town for the memorial.…

1. I kept the same outfit laid out all week as I did no am exercise last week. And I did not go swimming. Tried to rest and kick cold so I wouldn’t have to travel feeling lousy. It worked. 2. I got in a 5 minute workout about 4 days last week. I got a good number of walks in during the day at work (I keep sneaks, socks &…
-
Good morning all! I was very glad that we went to the memorial. Was tearful and a lot of good memories. Got back yesterday from trip and happy to be home. Food: well, I didn’t track or count points, but I did my best to eat mindfully. So while I did eat things I wouldn’t ordinarily (like cinnamon rolls* and biscuits), I…

Terrific thread starter today—spoke right to me. Valma, glad to hear you are feeling better. Sometimes I use a foam roller on my hip at home. Looks funny, feels great. Laura, those nights are the worst, IMHO. That happens to me too. And then when I wake up the second time, I feel like I didn’t sleep at all. Sherry, sorry…
-
Doing my best to kick this cold before I travel on Friday so went to bed early. My hubs woke me up in the night and gave me cough syrup. Was nice but disorienting. Walk was derailed by POURING rain all day. Yesterday I got in 9k steps and felt good about that. Healthy eating though still blue. So I’m kind of glad it’s…
-
Thank you all, for being so nice to me about my binge. And you’re right, Laura, they are definitely fewer and farther between. VALMA HOLY MOLY YOU ARE IN ONEDERLAND! Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here! It’s AWESOME to get out of the 200 club. Laura, hopefully you can get some good sleep tonight. Sorry to hear about last…

It's helpful when I eat an earlier dinner so that I'm not starving at late-night dinner. I also try to save some cals for post-dinner. My choices are apples or protein shake usually.
-
I blew it last night… I ate way too much and didn’t even enjoy most of it. It’s been a long time since I ate past the point of comfort and it did not feel good. I tracked everything in WW and basically ate an entire day’s worth of food in one meal last night. It’s pathetic to say this but it could have been worse—was just…
-
Here is October my week 2 report: 1. Lay out workout clothes every night (or set up bag if going swimming). Okay, I’ve had the same workout clothes laid out for nearly a week as I have a cold and haven’t been moving much. Ugh. 2. Workout for at least 5 minutes every day. I got a cold so I think I only got in one decent…

What a great thread starter! On Monday night I got a much-needed GREAT night’s sleep and got up before my alarm to workout. Felt great! Plus I got to catch up on US Weekly lol So I’m doing weight watchers now and trying to keep in mind everything my trainer has taught me about nutrition. And I don’t have a lot of points to…
