I like that! That's exactly what it is, a hobby. I'm stealing that!

I'm going to pull some weeds tonight. I'm so much fun!!

Running after work and then I need to be much more diligent with food tonight. Last night was kind of a free for all.

We have a winner!

Well said! Good post!

Running after work. This whole week needs to be one of re-dedication to a stricter food plan. I think I'm letting down my guard too much and allowing to many calories to sneak into my day. MUST LOG EVERYTHING!!

Rest day for me. Well... no workouts. The house cleaning fairy hasn't shown up yet, so I'll guess I'll do that myself. Sigh.

Ok, that made me laugh! She's right, but...

That's a good one! I totally agree. You can't make exercise or tracking calories an optional thing. You just do it!

Pulling weeds after work. Oh yay. I'd rather sit on the couch and watch TV. :smile:

I can relate!! I didn't do well yesterday recording my food, so I have to do it today!!!

I kind of like this though. You know that coffee is something you're just not going to give up, so you do the work around. Even though that means you might miss out on some other healthier options, at least you are not giving up something you enjoy. (I am also a coffee lover, but I do drink it black.) Mine is food,…

After a great 4 day weekend, with only one planned workout... and no tracking of food... I'm back on schedule today! Went to spin, I'll be recording my food, and I'll go for a run after work.

So, I went to visit my parents and we went to the Royal Gorge Bridge (Canon City, Colorado). They have a zip line that I went on!!! Over 1000 feet above the river, from one side of the gorge to the other! I couldn't have met the weight limitation when I first started losing weight, and I wouldn't have tried it at all…

So, I'm taking a couple of days off from work, starting tomorrow. So, my goal is to keep focused, work hard, and keep a good attitude. I'm fighting the "I am so ready to be out of here" attitude. :smile:

I like what you said about people finding it easier to give up than try to change. That's probably very true. I think that's the part that sends me over the edge. If that is how they want it to be, that's their choice, but when someone says that they just can't and expect sympathy because of it, I tune out quickly. (Not…

This is a good thread for me. I started at 294, and I'm down to 219, and my goal has always been 180. I just arbitrarily set that number. But now that I'm getting closer, and I believe it IS attainable, I've wondered if I'll need to set a new one once I get there. It's nice to see what others are shooting for!

I like that quote from your friend. We all need to watch for the pebbles!

Hmm. I didn't really think about measuring the salt that I shake onto foods. I don't use a lot, but it never occurred to me to measure it. Uh oh. I may be in for a surprise, too. Thanks for posting about it!!

Went to spin class this morning, and I'll be running after work. THEN, I will not overeat when I get home just because I'm all by myself. I need to make a real meal and just stick to that instead of snacking for the night. :smile:

Farback: Great photo!!! Love that!

Running after work.

I needed tough love from someone who wouldn't accept my lame excuses for not losing weight. But, then again, I do believe that until you are really ready to make it happen, nothing helps.

I agree! It's too easy to use excuses, and you hear of too many people saying that they "can't, because..." There are too many stories out there that show that others have managed what ever issues they face and achieve great things. We can too!!

That sounds good to me!! I already worked out this morning, so that's done. I am going to make better food choices today and stay in a deficit.

Well, if they are in Colorado, it will be easy for me to join now since that's where I live. Ha ha!

My update... I am working on it, but every little increase upward seems like it makes it so much harder!! But, summer isn't over, so I'm still in the game.

Overslept this morning, so I missed my spin class. My goal is to not let that bother me all day today. So far, I'm ok with it, so maybe I needed the extra zzz's. I will go running after work though!!

We received some shirts at work today and I was able to get one without any X's in the size! And I feel good about wearing it! First time ever I haven't hated wearing a company shirt!!

I'm going out to lunch with a friend today. I'm going to choose wisely!!!! Keeping at a deficit today.
