Just accomplished a personal BEST~NSV
Went out tonight to get a little workout...because I was hungry and close to my goal on food. As I left the house, my goal was to burn some wiggle room, not really looking to hit my HR for cardio, just a nice easy pace... I took one of my usual routes and when I hit my landmark for just over a half mile, two walkers took…

NSV~~"I like you better, healthy!"
14 year old daughter said this to me this morning, after a trip to Cedar Point (an awesome amusement park near us!). She said I didn't get grumpy once while we were there~Whoever says losing weight doesn't make life better, obviously never lost weight! Just sayin'.....

Summer Travel Miles Challenge...:)
My gym has issued a summer travel miles challenge...not sure how it will work yet, but sounds like they will be giving out prizes for highest number of minutes of workout time. They will be doing this during the summer months. I will have more details to share later, in case we want to try something similar :) .

Ewwww...everything I have is hot. hubby: Yeah, I know! This new lifestyle looks good on you~Hottie! (not what I intended at all,…

Yikes! Anyone wash your Fitbit?
My Fitbit went through the laundry tonight...I realized it when I removed my bra from the washer and there it was, still firmly attached...(that clip is amazing!). I heated some rice and put the Fitbit into it and by 1:45 am, I was able to turn the thing on (a good sign). It is now charging (I hope not prematurely) and…

Got the "skinny" from my dietician today....hahaha
Okay, today was my visit with a dietician at my local hospital (where I work out in the cardiofitness center). She says.......drumroll..........I am doing almost everything right!! YAY!! The only thing she said was that I should up my daily calorie count to 1320 (100 calorie increase) and not get too worried about eating…

2 NSVs~slippery, slimy, sweat and knowing I will run a 5K!
Yep...you read that right...MY NSV today was that slippery sweat that you can feel ROLLING off you and down your face, neck, breasts and belly...I have done diet and exercise before but I have never been able to soak my shirt like I did today! I worked hard, and when I was finished my shirt had that sweat that starts at…

Funny NSV :cD
I know this will weird everyone out, but it is true...I have pierced ears (THIS IS NOT THE WEIRD PART). I normally DO NOT wear earrings, but daughter got hers done 2 months ago and we were getting ready to go out to dinner this evening and I thought it would be cute to see if she noticed if I wore some pretty earrings.…

My progress pics...not sure if this will work or not...
Okay, here goes nothing...if this does not work, someone please give me a hand. I seem to be a little MFP challenged! My journey began Feb 1, 2012. SW was 290 (286 with MFP) and today I am at 257-ish (Thursday is Weigh Day, hence the -ish) Thought I would *try* to share pics, but if this does not work and someone can help,…

NSV~my skin!
Since beginning this weight loss and exercise journey, I have noticed that my skin is amazing! I have implemented some other changes in routine, such as exfoliating with just a very soft brush and applying moisturizer once a day, but I honestly believe that this is due to eating healthier and flushing my system with all…

Last night I dreamt....
That I accomplished my very first *ever* pull up!! I KNOW!!! It has not happened in practice, but I am rejoicing that it has happened in my subconscious! This means I am thinking about it and looking forward to this! In my dream I was so happy, I cried and then went on to do three more! I WILL NOT STOP until I make this a…

WOW! BREAKFAST KILLED MY SUGAR INTAKE FOR THE DAY!
Had my usual fare today (english muffin, scrambled egg, cheese slice and butter) but chose to drink 5 ounces white grape juice with this and it put me over on my sugar for the day by 3g! WOW... that's a shocker! Sadly, I do love this juice...and it says on the label "No Sugar Added". Any thoughts on this?

Needing to know if I am "normal"! Please reply :)
I just started exercising in the gym and the trainer/overseer gave me the same info you all have shared, so this confirms it for me. My target HR is 109-143 and when I am exercising, I am always in the zone, but sometimes bottom and sometimes top~ Elliptical keeps me high, stepper (recumbant) not so much and recumbant bike…

Getting on the band wagon! More=Less
Okay, so I have read post after post about eating back exercise calories...Today, at 3 weeks 6 days post hysterectomy surgery (March 6), I am feeling very well and spent the day cleaning closets and drawers out, trying on a ton of clothes and working up a pretty decent lather doing so. I have no way to measure what kind of…

This shopping trip was FREE FREE FREE!! I was able to purchase (for FREE), a dazzling top and two pair of pants! I also tried on 3 more pair…

Prayers welcomed :)
I am asking for prayer for my family and me as today is the day of my hysterectomy surgery. I especially ask that you remember my 14 year old daughter and my hubby and that you pray for a good report for me. I ask that you remember my doctor and anesthesiologist, nurses and hospital staff and pray that each are blessed in…

Hysterectomy?
I have to have a complete hysterectomy on March 6. I will continue my calorie counting of course, but will be unable to do anything other than light exercise for 4-6 weeks after. Anyone have this surgery during weight loss or have it anytime and want to offer moral support? Doc did a D&C and found some "bad-ish" stuff in…

Food scale? Yes or No?
:smile: Please help. I want to know how many food loggers use a scale for accurate measuring~do you, or do you guesstimate portions?

Old London Roasted Garlic Melba Toast
These are delish! Adds a nice crunch to a salad or soup without a ton of "cracker" calories! 15 calories per piece and very satisfying~but be careful they are also addicting! I may have to bag them in 4's when I buy a box, so I am not tempted to sit and eat more than I need!
