Just looking at my spreadsheet and my weight app. My weight app shows my highs going down and my lows going down. It doesn't show any weights in the 250's this month but my spreadsheet shows a week early in this month where I was in the low 250's (251 for 2 days and the rest 250.x). Otherwise I have stayed in the 240s this…

I came here and read posts yesterday but didn't post. We have some weeks before going to Hawaii for the funeral in mid August. I have an interview tomorrow. I am still orienting towards the job that doesn’t open until September and starts in November. I am hoping to make some progress losing weight and getting fitter by…

I have been eating low calories lately. We have been eating at home. Last week I skipped a day or two of walks but doing fine this week so far. Yesterday was a higher NEAT day so I had a shorter walk mostly because my husband wasn’t up for a longer walk. I usually get my longer walks when it is just with my youngest or…

I just edited my post above and added in the "tag party"

Yesterday was a good day with the long walk to the espresso bar and the healthy dinner. So before I knew all of the dietary restrictions I had planned an easy fast meal for last night since I was making more ambitious meals earlier in the week. I started making this meal when I was working and my youngest loves it. I just…

@CupcakeCrusoe I wish I had a zero waste store around. Cool! Thanks for the suggested cookbooks. I have an old one Vegetarian Epicure. It is falling apart. I need to update. @bojaantje3822 Yes I do better losing when my life is less stressed and less busy. I finally started to learn how to lose slowly when I work fulltime…

It took me so long to post that I missed some later posts because mine was too long. @CupcakeCrusoe When my daughter was little I noticed that many girls were very skinny. I actually was thin until after an ectopic pregnancy when I couldn't eat or keep food down, my metabolism changed and I couldn't get the pregnancy…

@pamperedlinny I wasn't able to read the last posts before I posted and just read your latest now. My youngest has just been diagnosed with PCOS this year. Your post helped me understand a little some of the health issues they are facing now. So far they aren't pre-diabetic. They didn't have any issues with taking the…

I went for a long walk Thursday with my youngest and not a bad walk Friday too. My husband left that morning for Hawaii to see my MIL who has just been put in hospice. She is such a sweet lady. My youngest left to visit her today for a long weekend. I will stay here to look after the cats. It makes me glad we went for a…

Okay I wasn’t going to post replies to your posts so early in the month but .... @seltzer_lover just WOW that is a lot of progress. @kenziestabes I like the softball 2fer. @Generic_Excuse 4 lbs a month is a good healthy sustainable weight loss. If you were heavier maybe more would be okay for a while. At 1st people do lose…

I forgot - yesterday when I went to the grocery store I decided to get a mix for whole wheat muffins since our dairy doesn't carry any but less healthy muffins now. We used to get whole grain ones every other week. Well I start to make them this morning and started to smell chocolate. In small print on the bottom of the…

I had a period from Sunday to Tuesday of higher calories but still below maintenance. Hopefully I will be able to keep my calories lower like yesterday now so I can see a new low soon. Yesterday was a watershed day for me. I had a good walk Monday but none Tuesday. So I was determined to have a good walk yesterday but was…

Things got away with me this past long weekend. I have been spending this week getting back in the groove. I stopped logging and walking after Thursday last week until Tuesday. We got a bbq grill for Father’s day to go with our new deck we remodeled last summer. We grilled kalbi (teriyaki short ribs), bbq chicken, wild…

After last week’s so busy no walks, I am happy I didn’t let that become the norm and have gotten right back to doing my daily walks this week although one was just around my yard a few times with the Arborist. They have been longer walks except for the day I went walking around stores looking for something I never found…

Yay! I got in my walk yesterday thanks to my youngest. I had a long to do list yesterday. I completed my last job search activity. I got a lot done but had my walk and making Drs appointments left but it was time to make dinner. Fortunately after dinner my youngest asked if I wanted to go with them for a walk. I said yes!…

Yesterday I had a special service I was singing and cantoring in so I was nervous. My exercise was walking and standing talking to an arborist around my yard for more than an hour. So Monday was productive and today I plan a productive day again. Hope to get in a long walk and other self-care in as well. I have a job…

I really enjoyed reading all your posts. @Inky_one 1 pound a week is a good healthy loss. You are doing well. Sorry about family trying to tempt you. I love the idea of afternoon tea but so I know I would have a hard time with that too. @CupcakeCrusoe Wow that is something staying under goal at the pirate and greek fest.…

@bojaantje3822 for a lot of the last year or 2 my whole household was working remotely at home. My husband is overworked since so many co-workers are retiring. I had a pretty demanding job although there were some lulls and our youngest living at home is working at their 1st job in their field after graduating from college…

@CupcakeCrusoe glad you are enjoying your pole classes/gym We had a mixed leftover night a few days ago too. Here’s to a woosh for you. @sandielewis 2001 the gym classes sound really good. @jerms9 I like that- weight revision @bojaantje3822 I am hoping to get back to walking and drinking more water next week. Hopefully I…
