PS I am glad for this months challenge. It has highlighted my problem, I am not sticking within the calorie goals.

Too late to post and have gotten off track. On the positive side, I have finally gotten some motivation to work in the house and I can proudly say, you could eat off any surface in my bathroom. I scrubbed the walls, the moldings, everything and even bought a new mop to mop the floor with. I have been ignoring it for…

Took car for an estimate, and it was over $1000 so the Uninsured Motorist will pay and I don't have to pay a deductible. I worked out with my trainer for an hour and did some shopping which usually adds about 5000 steps to my day. Got some positive financial news today, so am grateful for that. Stayed under calories, but…

Got back on track Sunday. Worked out and then went out to eat. Got the lonlies when evening came, but resisted eating to fill up the hole. Called a friend who invited me out to lunch for my birthday tomorrow. Received several early birthday wishes. My daughter is moving in with me for a month in October since she is still…

Thank you Susan

Week has been better than I expected but still have a ways to go. I ate meals on schedule most days and took supplments as planned most days. Sort of lost it yesterday. Didnt do anything planned and went over on calories to the maxx. I worked out with a trainer Wed and worked on my own Friday, plus took a very exhausting…

I'm back in the thead in the hopes I can concentrate and stick to my goals, which for September are 1) Exercise at least 3 times per week, once weekly with a personal trainer who will push me 2) Hike some at a waterfall 3) Eat 3 meals a day, regardless. Hopefully they will be gluten free and within my calorie plan 4) Take…

Well, I am back and hope to be more consistent this time. Worked out with personal trainer today and he was more like a PT as he specializes in corrective exercises. Havent really been following a food plan, but lost 2 lbs. While on the HCG diet Dr prescribed, just lost the desire to eat. Have to make myself but have…

Prepared a to do list and trying to follow it to get myself going. Probably wlll weigh in next Wednesday. Hoping things will get better when I get out and about. Katrena.

I LOST MY PEDOMETER THE FIRST DAY OUT. WEARING IT ON WAISTBAND AS RECOMMEND AND WHEN I GOT TO THE GYM, IT WASNT THERE.

Good day today. Mellow and I went to water aerobics for an hour Mileage 2

I made a Self Care List for myself and am determined to stick by it.. I believe it will help me in the long run. Today I was successful. Grandson came over and worked in my yard for me. We all went to the pool and grilled out. and sat around and talked with neighbors. My other grandchildren came over for a while. LaurieK…

HAD A SUCESSFUL DAY FOODWISE. WORKED ALL DAY, TRYING TO GET my inventory straight. Grandson is coming over tomorrow to help with the yard and then we are going down to the pool for a little relaxation. I am starting a self care program and plan to make sure I take relaxation time every day. Have had insomnia for the past…

MORGORI, THE BEST THING FOR A BURN IS PURE LAVENDER OIL YOU GET AT A HEALTH FOOD STORE. WILL SPEED HEALING AND HELPS W SCAR TISSUE. HOPE SHE RECOVERS SOON

Should have check the calories on the Moe's salads. No dressing but still over a 1000 calories and no rice just meat and veggies. The shell was 500 though, but that still seems high LAURIE K - Happy Birthday

Surprize, Surprize, I finally weighed in and I am down 2 lbs. After all that cruise food and travel eating and having a difficult time getting back in focus. Lots of stress in my life. I have just about decided that I am Gluten intolerant. Couldn't sleep last night and looked for a book and found one called Dangerous…

Try to figure out what is causing you to lose focus. Are you depressed? Get treatment for it? Do you really have good reasons to lose? How will you benefit from weight loss? What will you lose besides weight if you lose weight?

GOING TO WEIGH IN WEDNESDAY FOR SURE. STAYED BUSY ALL DAY ON COMPUTER AND STILL GOING. FOOT IS FEELING BETTER SINCE I TOOK THE BRACE AND TAPING OFF. Went over on calories today. Set food out for supper but didn't realize how long it would take to steam asparagus till it is soft and the meat had not defrosted. Wound up…

I was supposed to go to St Simeons Island with my daughter and her husband today for the week, but I cancelled at the last minute. She still wants me to go down but I feel I need to get caught up with things at home that I have been neglecting for weeks and I just returned from a 12 days trip to Alaska & Canada. Yesterday…

Sorry I cant participate in the walking challenge until this fracture heals, but I do plan to do deep water aerobics as soon as I get back from St Simeon's Island which is a nice beach area on the Georgia coast. Will be gone for 5 days and plan to relax by pool after practicing on my Yamaha keyboard which I am taking…

Well, I am back from a wonderful relaxing Alaska cruise with a few days in Seattle (busy, busy) and a few days in Victoria British Columbia. Went to Buchart Gardens for the 2nd time and the roses were about 2 weeks short of blooming fully. did learn that the garden is on the Pacific Ocean and they had added a boat ride.…

Just checking in. Lost 5 lbs this past two weeks. Appetite coming back so I think I will start posting my food. Divorce has been filed and just waiting for final decree. My husband has been financially generous which is the least he could do after 3 years of living a double life and all the lies. Appears his girlfriend…

Bump. Sorry I haven't been on the site, but I am going thru some heartbreaking times. Havent been eating, hardly at all, but don't seem to be losing and measurements appear to be up. Cant focus on that at this point in my life. Goal for today is to eat at least something, Katrena

Finally got to water aerobics and DH came along. He admitted that he felt so much better going and is recommitting to going three times a week. That will help me. I stayed over and did my yoga poses in the pool. Neighbors called and invited us out to Frontera (again!!) Bill really wanted to go because of the invite but I…

No time for personals this evening. Will try to catch up in the morning. Thursday truth. I am the only one who can say No and make the right choices. "Hubby decided to "treat" me to a meal to celebrate my weight loss. I could have chosen Outback (pricey) or Mexican or he said anywhere I pleased. Chose Mexican and while I…

Had a nice weight loss today, Was very happy about it as was the Dr. I was measured and I've lot 5 1/2 inches in waist and 3" in hip/tummy area. I could see a difference in the way my clothes fit. Losing the weight inspired me to stay on plan and I ate a tasty but in plan meal. I still have calories for fruit later. Need…

HAVING DIFFICULT TIME TODAY. NOT HUNGRY JUST WANTING TO EAT. KNOW IT IS EMOTIONAL. TOOK SIS TO CANCER DR AND she explained why she could not get her kidney cancer taken care of. Got assigned a new Dr and he is out of town till the 22nd. Not many Dr's will take Medicaid and she has few alternatives. Very worried about her.…
