Busy week, as we have a guest visiting us from california. So.. I'm making homemade bread, bigger breakfasts (bacon, eggs, waffles, fruit, etc). Yesterday I tracked my calories, and I think I \actually did OK.. because I tend to not eat as much in front of people, and no snacking. Wow.. funny how that really does make a…

You guys all did great on the 5# challenge!! So proud of all of you. Just think.. if we can keep this up, by the end of the year, even if we only lost 2# a month... we will all be in such better shape. And .. a reminder.... losing weight is not just a number on the scale. There are so many factors that affect that number.…

Ash is totally right Bex -- you have gained muscle!! And that is a good thing. The numbers are just that.. numbers. I weigh more now than I did 5 years ago.. but I am more fit. Everyone tells me I do not need to lose weight.. that I am in great shape. (Ha.. except hubby.. he tells me I have a tummy on me LOL). So there is…

I didn't get goals posted today.It was a super busy, very active day. But, as a result I was so tired, and mindlessly grabbed and ate today 6 oatmeal cookies!! Yikes.. no wonder I have trouble losing weight. All week I've been recorded and tracking my food. I can never seem to stay below about 1450 calories.. but hoping…

@cschmitz110515 -- Beautiful pictures!! I love our botanical gardens here.. I have not been there for a long time. But I love the path through the woods for yours.

Oh.. I love this plant!! I have not had any luck with that here though.. and also with lupins. I think our temps get too hot, and our winters are too cold or something. But Bex.. its going to be beautiful!!

@pridesabtch ThredUp[/quote] Thank you!! I checked them out.. very interesting. I can see though where you have to keep looking, as I'm sure their inventory changes. Have you ever tried "Temu". I have a friend who buys from them.. super super cheap! As in, blouses for $5.00. I think its all made in China, and I haven't…

OMG -- I don't think I could sleep on my stomach.. I am a back sleeper. I know my DIL's father had to have this done.. he had to look down all the time. so they put a tv on the floor for him.. but it was really a hard recovery, and that was all he did all day, was look at the floor and watch tv. Thanks for updating us on…

@PackerFanInGB - yes, those habits of mindless eating have been with my entire life I think. Its as if I think I will feel better by shoving food in my mouth. I am OK all day long.. why is it that in the evening I give in. Today I am trying to drink a lot more water. I think I am probably more thirsty.. I don't know! But…
-
Started my day out with going to the gym. There is nothing like seeing good friends, and because of these friends.. I did 30 minutes on the treadmill. Ha.. even though we talk and laugh, its still exercise. Hubby says I can't be working out that hard if I'm talking.. but better than nothing. I wasn't able to do weights…
-
Note to myself.. stop eating!! Today I am just down, and while all day, we ate pretty good.. I just gobbled down a bagel without evening thinking. Its that emotional eating again... and did it make me feel any better. No. So ... I'll grab my water, and the kitchen is now closed for good.

@Bex953172 I can now officially say I'm a size 12-14 in tops AND bottoms! Yay! So a Medium now :))))) [/quote] Congrats Bex!! Success is not just a number on the scale.. and you are proving that! Proud of you!!

@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,…
