Beautiful, warm sunny day here. I walked around outside earlier and the peach trees have small peaches on them. The apple trees have pretty blossoms on them. All the azaleas are in bloom and there is a red bud on the rosebush by the front steps.
I am feeling better and happy to finally be getting well from head cold and sore throat.

What creamer are you using? I switched to coconut cream with cinnamon and stevia yesterday. It is pretty decent and supposed to burn fat.
I've started planning my cheat meals... I write my craving down on that calendar square and then I am picking whatever I most badly want. Last week was ramen, grilled cheese and a brownie!

Island 150
(which I am not at yet)...
Hello to all of you....
I am still rowing...but basically staying the same...which I'm not really complaining about...I'm just not making any progress...and I know why...I have a couple of 1900 calories days (or a little more) and then I try to make it up with much lower calories a couple days...which keeps me at about the same weight...which ain't bad...It is just that I'm not getting anywhere doing that and what I am really LACKING is SELF-DISCIPLINE!
Top it off, I have a seasonal springtime COLD (allergies to pollen) but actually that may be helping me since I have less appetite with sneezing and sore throat, ha. So maybe I can look at the positive side of it and realize this may help me get going again toward goal...
Row, Row, Row your Boat!

Hello, Friends. I wish you a happy Easter tomorrow.

Still maintaining 155. Not really motivated to do what needs to be done to go lower right now. All of you are doing spectacular in your work to get to your weightloss goals, even tho some of you may not think so. Something that we sometimes fail to realize is that as we become lower in our weight, our calories required to maintain our new lower weights we are at are much lower than they were when we were a lot heavier and we may wonder why we are seeing no continued progress as before when we were heavier? It is simple. As we become slimmer, we require fewer calories to maintain our new weights than when we were heavier and if what worked for us to get to the size we are now has stopped working in seeing progress in our weightloss journey, we simply need to lower our daily calories a little lower to begin losing again. Also in the past, i have found that much excercise over a certain amount each day has actually 'stalled' my weight loss. How do I know this? Because more than one time I have been at goal weight and regained and then worked to get back to goal weight again. I personally found that for me, less exercise and less calories worked best for results. Also a lower-carb diet off and on as in good bye white foods or high-carb foods. Just sayin'.

I know we're getting to warmer seasons, eventually... I am going to think about what you said. I could use the remainder of the chilly weather to sleep more, eat less, and see where it takes me.

Hello, Friends. Tomorrow is the day we Christians call Good Friday. The day we remember that Jesus shed His Blood and gave His Life on the cross for you and for me so that through Him and only through Him, we may have forgiveness for all our sins (when we repent and ask His forgiveness and believe on Him) and eternal life.

Island 150
(which I am not at yet)...
Hello to all of you. As you can see, I am still no closer to Island 150 altho I have been rowing...
I did some self-sabotaging a few days ago...Ice cream and popcorn popped in oil was my vice...and the scale reflected a slight gain...I did some figuring and realized I was averaging 1900 calories a day, so no wonder. No, that is not my 'maintain' number, however 1700 calories a day is...
Just as soon as I set a goal, apparently I begin rowing backwards...(Island 150)...
So I corrected the results of my extravagant 'food fit', having lowered my calories and am now back to where I am maintaining again.
Today I have had:
Breakfast: 1 fried egg, 1/2 plain toast, 2 coffees w a little creamer and sugar...200 cals
Lunch at BK: fish s/w, no tartar sauce, and 1/2 small fries...500 cals
Afternoon snack: banana, 2 small tangerines, a few grapes...200cals
Supper: 2 fried eggs, 4 bread, mayo, and very small sweet potato/raisin muffin....800 cals
Total for day: 1700 cals
No I won't be any closer to Island 150 as these are maintain calories but at least I won't be rowing backward...

Hope you are having a blessed day.

I had to stay away from my Mom one time for an extended period because I had pneumonia...( she was alone in her own home)....and since she had never written a check in her life...or filled her own pill boxes...I HAD to go...and she needed groceries...we talked on the phone a lot too...but the time came when I couldn't put it off any longer....so I told her to have her bills on the table...and the ck bk...and her pills and pill boxes.....I put on a mask...did everything quickly...took her to the store...and I stayed in the car......we got it all done that day...but it wasn't easy for either one of us...that was a tough few weeks...but she didn't catch it,luckily.

I have been wondering about your mama while you have been sick. I didn't think that you had visited her, but wasn't sure. Hopefully you can visit her sometime this week... but with Hubby sick now, even if you're not sick, would you be carrying "sick germs" with you? (((hugs)))
