I lost track of time and missed logging Monday’s weigh in. Can’t believe we’re 1/3 of the way through May! SO much time spent at track meets, softball games, karate practice, and concerts this month. Throw in a couple birthdays and viola! there goes the time! Loving it all though and getting lots of vitamin D ☀️ Feeling…

I will pass it on my way down in May 😊 I started journaling and I think that is helping me see things more clearly. My forever pattern with journaling is that I start…

@KeriA Glad to hear from you! You might not remember me because I’m here and gone, then back again and don’t post much, but I remember you. I’m looking forward to hearing how you like retirement in May. It’s an adjustment, but has been awesome for me. It’s a great time to set some goals without all the stress that comes…

I was doing well with portion management until today. I don’t do well when I go shopping. I just finished supper and while I don’t feel stuffed, I don’t even…

@CupcakeCrusoe What an amazing trip you had!! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.

Hi everyone! I’m Rita and have been following and sometimes participating in this group for a few years now. You all are the BEST!! I seem to start out the month OK, then lose momentum. So here we go again. I will report once a week but will be cheering you all on daily even if I don’t post anything. Good luck and good…

Well, this is embarrassing! I said I would going to do day 12 pushups before going to bed last night and 5 minutes later I totally forgot. And here it is, 11:25 pm and I still haven’t done today’s😖. I was away from home both days…no excuse! So the streak will undergo a reset… Day 1 (64 days, I think). 11:30 ✅ and now it’s…

I just realized I lost a day and I’m farther along in my streak than I thought. So… Day 11✅ Day 12 … not yet but will do 11 wall pushups before going to bed. I’m having trouble making this an after shower habit. Maybe a sticky note on my mirror would help me remember 🤔

Day 8 pushups…did them first thing yesterday when I got up and discovered my body needs a little more warm up time. My shoulder is a little sore and not in a good way. I took 1 Advil and it feel fine now. Day 9 pushups… did them right after my shower. I think that might be a good time to get them done. Sometimes linking a…

@Velveta here is your quote to me… @nebsip - Don't over think it. You've got this! Keep up the great progress. 👍 .[/quote] Your comment has me laughing out loud! Because when I was learning to etch sayings on metal cups, the first one I made was for me. It said “hold on, let me overthink this!” So true!🤣

@CupcakeCrusoe I love everything about your post! Special yum to that breakfast plate 😋 and your knitting is beautiful! Birthday parties are the best, especially the fancy ones. Sounds like a fun family. Enjoy 😊 Day 7. Got up and did wall pushups immediately because I knew I’d be at my grandson’s martial arts competition…

Day 6. Switched from the wall to the steps for push ups to make it more challenging. Used 3rd step up today. Food macros came out on target and was under calorie burn 🔥

Day 5 wall push ups … still need to do those but will not go to bed without doing them! Other accomplishments today…a silver sneakers YouTube work out, outside time walking, a little weeding, enjoying the perfect 70’s day 😊 Almost finished with quilting my granddaughter’s quilt. 🤞 maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to assemble…

Day 4 wall pushups 👍 Posture exercises 👍 Below calorie burn 🔥 I almost forgot my exercises yesterday. 11 PM and I was like, dang! But I did them anyway because I want to keep my streak going. I got my hair cut in the afternoon and when leaving town to go home I drove right on by DQ and A and W without stopping. I had to…

Day 3/77 of wall pushups 😃 Posture exercise 👍 About 200 below calorie burn 🔥 Cardio workout mulching flowerbeds 🌺 I’ve been working on organizing my family history info and free motion quilting the quilt that I made for my granddaughter so I feel very productive today. I also spent some time outside getting my vitamin D…

Wrong direction!?! But I was 227 this morning so I’ve turned myself around. Now to keep moving downward. SW - 225.9 October GW - lbs 219.9 6 Oct - 228.1 13 Oct - 229.2 20 Oct - 27 Oct - 31 Oct - October's Total Loss - lbs

-I met my goal for 2 days (75 to go) of doing 11 wall pushups. They were easier today than yesterday. I’m sticking with the 11 as my goal so any more than that is just gravy! I’ll be doing work with weights as well and some cardio stuff, too, but they’re not a «have-to » like the push-ups. -I haven’t mindlessly grabbed a…

I'm a restarter myself. Is there really only 11 weeks left in 2023!!?? What can I accomplish in that time? Lose 1 pound a week =11 pounds Do 11 wall pushups every day = 842 more than I'm doing now Do posture exercises every day = 77 days to better posture Indulge in fewer grab the nuts and go moments (as in peanuts,…

nebslp here. I’ll jump in! I want to lose 30 lbs by the end of February so that’s 6 lbs/month. SW - this morning 225.9 October GW - lbs 219.9 6 Oct - 13 Oct - 20 Oct - 27 Oct - 31 Oct - October's Total Loss - lbs

Hi! The weather here is incredible! Nighttime lows in the 50's...highs in the 70's for a day or two. That means absolutely 0 excuses for not getting out and getting some more war with the weeds done in my flowerbeds. My main area is huge and so are some of the weedy areas that get ignored. I spend a ridiculous amount of…

Hi! Summer months are extra busy for most people, so I'm guessing that's why it's so quiet here. I hope everyone is enjoying time doing fun things with friends and family. I come and go here, but I resolve to be more supportive this month. I'm Rita and and making my 7th decade of life as good as the last one (which was my…

@sandramarshall200 I’m sorry for your loss. Those fur babies are very much a part of the family and are missed tremendously when gone.

You will do well again. Just get back to tracking and decide to make better choices next time at Wendy’s and you’ve got it! IMHO no place should be off limits and be able to control your emotions. It’s all about choices. We aim for good ones, all the time realizing that we are imperfect humans who slip up sometimes and…

@pamperedlinny What a great picture! You may think you feel lazy, but it sounds to me like feeling overwhelmed is more accurate. Your awareness of food intake and movement will keep you from being «totally gone », so no worries 😌 Busy times have their ebb and flow, so take care of yourself while you’re taking care of…

Hi! Happy May! Rita SW: 249 CW: 234.3 May 3 May goal: 229 UG: 160 I will continue solidifying last month's goals. A few were met at 100% but I don't want to lose ground now so I will keep tracking those as well. Making my bed and hanging my robe have become habits so they're becoming almost as automatic as making coffee in…

Spring sunshine makes everything look brighter! I've been doing some soul-searching to figure out why the late nights and before bed snacking was something I couldn't conquer. Went WaY back to the 70's and realize that staying up late and eating too much before bed was a coping mechanism that worked for me then, but is no…
