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…

@"PackerFanInGB; -- I'm getting ready for bed and will write more tomorrow.. but what WONDERFUL NEWS!!! Made my day!! I've been thinking of you so so much!! Love you.. thanks for the best news! Will write more tomorrow!

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…

I went to fill in how I did this past week.. and ha.. realized my goals were a week ahead! So .. I will keep the same goals. But.. this week I successfully tracked my food every single day. Some days were not good.. as in eating over 2000 calories, but out of the week, I had at least 4 days where I kept calories around…
-
We thought of that, but just don't feel right doing that, plus hubby says he needs a new copier, but we'll see.But you are right .. $250 is a lot to pay just to get her records!

Welcome! I am going to be 74 this year.. and you are right. The weight comes off so slow at our age. I also have been battling weight all my life (well... since I was 45 years old). I am very tall, so that helps me, but I am still in the obese category. I am also a crafter/sewer. I sewed clothes for years .. now I mostly…

@beachwalker99 Your crochet is So cute!! I am just learning, but all I can do is simple dishcloths! Love this! @Bex ... I totally understand the frustration! This week I am really concentrating on healthier eating and logging everything. It is very discouraging! The scale goes up so quickly, but it seems to take forever…
-
Oh.. I laughed at this! So SO true though!!! My legs are aching all over! I could not sleep last nite (I think just too much caffeine!), but it was a beautiful day .. so I walked 6 miles! I need to drink a lot of water or my legs will cramp up tonite.. so I'm doing that now. And .. will be using the seam ripper ripping out…

I had a really good day yesterday .. ha.. until evening . While I did not snack... hubby suggested we have a margarita. We buy premixed margaritas at our Sams.. they are as good as if we went out. But we are getting into the bad habit of having them all too often .. all we have to do is unscrew the bottle and pour over…
-
Well.. I've had ONE day so far where my protein was at 132 .. which is double what I usually have. And you know what .. I did not crave anything in the evening .. was not even hungry. So today I prelogged my food .. my protein will be just at 119, so trying to add more low calorie, high protein foods today, and get out for…

I am going to change up my JFT goal posting, and instead, I decided to post my weekly goals. I am finding that I am spending the time to post daily goals... but then I don't actually get back on here to log my food. So I guess this is an experiment for me.. .. to only post my goals for the week, and next week, next sunday,…

Late in posting again. Last nite, hubby was gone.. and I had to run to walmart. WHY did I pick up some "sugar free" klondike bars! Then.. they had 8 little almond joy candy bars for just $2.50, so I bought those also.. and ate all of this last nite. Sometimes my mindset, after I buy things I should never have gotten, is…
