@PackerFan001 -- I had to laugh when you said to get over your "pity party". Of all people.. boy.. you have a right to have a pity party. But .. I am so proud of you ... your a fighter, and you've got this! But ... your remark about having a "pity party" is kinda the kick that I myself need. Its going on 3 weeks that I've…

Took me forever to find my last post .. on page 50. I am gettting so down.. just can't shake this cold. Its settled in my lungs, so not much lung power. This week I am at least moving around more, so I am going to try and go to the gym today with hubby, and at least try and walk slowly on the treadmill, hoping to break…

I have spent the past 3 days ... 90% of it in bed. I've never had a cold this bad for a long time, and espcially one thats hanging on so long.. and today, my breathing is really hard. I felt a little better, so all I did was go downstairs to put in a load of laundry, and could barely take a breath when I got back upstairs.…

Lots of catching up to do .. I think its been a week since I got on here. We went to mIchigan over the weekend.. had a great time, but got a super bad cold while we were there. My throat is so sore, and I've used up 2 boxes of kleenex already today. Ache all over. So my goals are just to log my food and get back on track.…

Super tired all day yesterday, so didn't post goals, and totally off track. Grazed all day on junk. Today is a new day. I have to keep telling myself that it is OK, and normal, to get off track occasionally.. the trick is to get right back on track to achieve my goals. I went to the gym this morning... that helped. so JFT,…

Yesterday I walked 4 miles. Normally, this is easy for me, even after I go to the gym for 60 minutes in the morning. But yesterday.. those 4 miles felt like I had walked 10! SO I KNOW I've got to get back to doing more squats, more leg exercises, and most importantly, get these extra 20 pounds off. I love to garden. So…

Here I go again.. not posting in over a week my goals. Like @Bex .. I am really struggling with getting going, until now we have "shorts" and "short sleeve" kind of weather... and I feel so out of shape! Physically I can tell the difference to... my stamina is not what it used to be just a year ago. Hubby reminds me that I…

I've been SO tired lately. Usually I am the one up at 8, and off to the gym to get my blood going. Lately, its hubby up before me. I do think its my extra weight .. I just don't feel as good. SO I really need to buckle down. If I don't change how I eat.. who else will do it for me. Its up to me. Its my own fault. So today,…

Heres the link @Bex. She has lots of good protein recipes .. and also lots of protein bar recipes. (Theres a apple one I might make) Super easy to make. I put chocolate chips on the first time I made them (per the recipe), but skipped them the 2nd time. Calorie wise .. if you cut into 16 pieces they are aprox 170 calories.…

Not weightloss related.. but this is why I just don't get on here as much!! These will be for my grandsons high school graduation. One is all his tshirts from little on up.. he is a big KC chiefs fan ... and also from michigan. Ha.. now just have to quilt the 2 sports one. I may wait and just give him the KC quilt.. and…

Again, I'm not logging my food. Why is this so hard for me to take the time to do!! But ... I am trying to eat more protein, which helps a lot with the nite snacking. Last week I made protein bars.. they are so good. They are just 3 cups oatmeal, 1 cup protein powder (I used chocolate), 1 cup peanut butter, and 1/2 cup…

@Bex -- your post so resonated with me!! My willpower is there, but then, I like to eat. But.. one thing I will tell you.. which for me, while not exactly "scale" related, but exercise related. I've always been a walker.. almost my entire life. I am going to be 74 in July. I can still easily walk 6-8 miles at one time. I…

@teigansdad -- welcome back! So sorry you've had such troubles though .. but happy to see you back with us. Like you, I've let myself gain back almost all that I had lost.It is so easy. My problem is always around the holidays .. I love to bake, and this year we did more entertaining. Its funny how easy the pounds can come…

OMG... I think I missed about a week, and I am 56 posts behind!!! I have been super busy with not only sewing a quilt for my grandson.. but garden work. Last week I had 6 yds of compost delivered (that is equivalent to 150 bags!!). I hauled it all in the backyard and spread among all my flower beds. Ha. needless to say, I…
