@Fitness327wk Congratulations! That is awesome! Hope the golf game went well.

@christinarandolph3 We always have room for one more! :) The more encouragement I get! I went to my knitting group last night and I really really really wanted a mocha frappuccino! I looked at MFP to check how much sugar I've already had for the day (which was unnecessary because even if I didn't have any, the frappucino…

@BackInSoFL The book is called The Successful Teacher's Handbook: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/pat-hensley/the-successful-teachers-handbook/9780316424820/?fbclid=IwAR2c1sSoTlY41cm98Ju42eVjPtowRRdtkqItiWlTxbM4lep62kJy-z3JHUs

Okay! I'm relieved that my weight is now back to the original "normal" from last Thursday! We ate sensibly all weekend and I drank and ran to the bathroom and drank and ran to the bathroom! No wonder I got so many steps in! LOL I had some NSV this weekend that had nothing to do with diet or weight. My friends came over and…

Today I'm back down a pound (more like 1.5 lbs. but I'm rounding off until tomorrow). I'm flushing my body with liquids and I believe it is helping. I did a 3 mile workout with the video yesterday morning which helped too.

I had a really bad day yesterday. We went to a Chinese buffet (we haven't been to it in 3 months!) and there must have been a lot of msg in the food which usually makes me swell. Then we went out to dinner last night to a nice steak restaurant. I only ate a salad and half of my ribeye and no dessert. Sure enough, this…

@msarobix I had one service guy tell me to call in once a year and claim a rattle and squeak (which it really did by the end of the year) so someone could come out and do maintenance on it, especially since I had a service contract. This guy that came out to check out my rattle and squeak is the one who found out that…

Had a good day yesterday. Was able to get 11,353 steps in. Today we are going on a 6 mile hike with my hiking club. @BackInSoFL Oh no! I hope you recover quickly.
-
I'm surprised how much these walk videos have helped me get my steps in. I got over 14,000 steps in! We had an entertaining day yesterday. They closed our road right past my house to do replace a utility pole (notice all the "supervisors" in the picture!). This took all day. We called AAA to come out and jump off our Tahoe…

Good morning everyone! I had a rough weekend because my treadmill died and my hubby was sick. I didn't eat healthy and I gained a pound. I did do more exercising and still got my 10000+ steps in though but it wasn't enough. Today is a new day, a new week and a fresh start. I'm going to continue to do the exercises that I'm…

@mynacha73 This was beautiful! Thank you for putting a smile on my face! :)

My daughter suffers from bipolar disorder and whenever she gets depressed, her doctor recommends that she eats more chicken and also bananas along with pushing herself to exercise. There is some chemical in those foods that are a natural antidepressant that works for her. I love your plan. I don't think many people play…

Well, during January I gained 3 lbs. and then lost those 3 lbs. so I'm back where I started on Jan. 1. I did lose an inch in my waist though. This month I'm starting an exercise routine and keeping track of it in my bullet journal. Having friends on my Apple Watch has encouraged me to walk even when I didn't want to do it.…

Tomorrow is measurement day for me too. For some reason, it kills me to write these down (which is a good thing) because it makes me more conscious of what they really are vs. my mind saying I'm losing weight and I'm losing inches which can be faulty thinking.
-
We met some friends for dinner last night at Chilis and again I hoped I could control my eating. Before we went, I drank a lot of water and I had a teaspoon of peanut butter about an hour before we left. I went online and looked at the menu so I could plan on what I would eat and research the calories. When we got there, I…

Yesterday hubby had to go to the dentist and it was the day of the "special" at the K&W Cafeteria which hubby loves. The special is 2 people get a full meal for $18 which includes an entree, 2 veggies, bread, dessert, and drink. This meal is a huge temptation for me but I used my Naturally Slim principles to help me. I got…

@kimmie373 I sorry to hear about your mom's stroke. My dad had one 12 years ago at the age of 89 and he is now 99 and still living independently with my stepmom. It is amazing how the brain can heal so don't give up hope. I watched a great video on TED-talks by a brain scientist, Jill Bolte Taylor, who had a stroke and…

I'm still going easy on my heel. Even though I only walked 30 min. on my treadmill yesterday, I got in my more than 10,000 steps doing some cleaning around the house. I'm also doing pretty well on my eating program. I've lost 2 lbs this week and now I'm at a plateau but I feel like I'm moving downward so I'm happy. Does…

@msarobix I'm so sorry you had these issues. I hope you get back to normal again. I can't drink any sugary drinks anymore. @mynacha73 Have a great trip. What do you teach? When we travel, we get those individual small bags of nuts to carry in our pockets. I also like pumpkin seeds. I'm excited that I lost another pound of…

We are back home now and trying to get back into a routine of exercise and healthy eating. I gained 3 lbs. while we were away but I know it is all the diet Pepsi I drank and the high salt content in the soda and eating out. Since we have been home, I've already lost a pound in 2 days. I am still babying my heel and I'm…
-
I have been using a bullet journal for this past year and for February I put in an exercise tracker page for each day. I hope that will encourage me to do them regularly and not just walking .
-
Unfortunately I gained 3 lbs. over the past 2 weeks. I know a lot of it was all the sodium from the sodas I drank so I think I should be able to lose at least 2 of those pounds easily this week. Now I need to get back on track with eating right.
-
@msarobix You can use the runkeeper app to track your distance but since I walk on the treadmill, I just manually upload the distance from my apple watch.
-
@msarobix We are using Runkeeper to keep track of our miles. All walks/runs are logged in as runs. The goal is to get 100 miles every month. All you have to do is contact Obiwanknitter and ask to join if you are interested. Thanks for the warning about the aspirin. I didn't think of that. We are traveling back home…
-
Just disconnected Runkeeper from MFP. I am doing a challenge with The Bakery Bears and my walks have to be logged in as "runs" which makes me look like I'm doing magical things here on MFP. I just figured out how to connect my apple watch to MFP so hopefully, my steps and activity will look more realistic. LOL
-
I'm babying my heel and taking some aspirin which seems to be helping my heel. I almost got 10,000 steps yesterday so hopefully, I will get it today. We are going to a flea market today so I will get some steps in. It is our last day in Florida so then I'm back to the cold weather!

@StacySunshine8 It has really worked for hubby and myself. We are on vacation now and still using the principles to eat and we are happy with the results. We didn't have a fast major weight loss though and we hope that this will keep us from regaining it. So far we both have lost about 8 lbs.
