Had a gorgeous day yesterday after many wet or cloudy days. Intended to power walk and/or ride my bike. But hubby was outside working on his bike so I cleaned the living/dining room, kitchen and laundry room. Then I sat outside on a lounger and read a mystery.
Not going to do any muscle work (except abs) until I’ve had no pain in my shoulder for at least 3 days. Not going to do any upper body with weights at all.
I'll get on my exercise bike today and read my book. Do some abs.

Feeling deprived. As usual around day 10. Tempted by some of hubby's home brewed beer and had about a pint and 1/3, and an extra pack of popcorn.
Doing a power walk today while listening to an audiobook. Or a bike ride.
Saturday if the scale is down by at least 2 lbs then I'll have a reward - a large beer and packet of crisps.

Bc feeling deprived too long isn’t the way to enjoy life! Lol
I keep them in the garage, which is at the back of my property, not attached to the house. So when I have to walk to get them, you know I really want them :) :)
Did exercise bike and abs yesterday. I'll do exercise bike again today. Shoulder is still sore. I shouldn't have increased number of sets I did with weights.
Our lovely sunny weather has disappeared. Been rainy for a few days and again today.
Eating the last Ryvita cracker with butter today and won't buy any more.
I really hate not being able to go anywhere. I want to go to the city for a haircut, shopping and lunch in a pub. But need to stay safe. Sigh.

I understand the feeling of wanting to go out but holding back. Especially if your weather is not ideal. My hope for you is that the UK will be able to curb the spread better than here in the states. The defiance of mask wearing is just incredible here.
Lazy yesterday. Didn't work out. Will definitely do today!
Had an extra pack of popcorn last night. So an extra 87 calories. Not a disaster.
Left house by 7am this morning, filled up car with petrol (I think it's been 2 months or more since I had to), got the groceries for us and for our friends that weren't available on Click and Collect. Stopped by post office to send in my absentee ballot for the primary in Tennessee (where I have to vote). It's for senate, etc.
Menu:
B: porridge w/oat milk and /fresh raspberries, tea w/soy milk
S: quinoa bar and coffee w/coconut milk
L: salad w/turkey breast, cheddar, Ryvita cracker w/butter, apple
D: chicken curry, diet tonic
S: packet of popcorn

I've been drinking a LOT of diet pop. Got really bored with Coke so I'm drinking diet Sprite, Schweppes lemonade, Dr Pepper, orange, raspberry, strawberry etc. I know this stuff might not be good for you, but it's better than drinking lots of beer and wine and I feel less desprived. Also have diet lime flavoured tonic with pieces of lime with my dinner.
Shoulder still sore! I guess I got too ambitious with the dumbbells. Avoiding them for a while. Jump rope uses shoulders, step aerobics isn’t much of a workout without dumbbells, so only thing I can do is ankle weights, abs, and exercise bike.
Felt so bad for my granddaughters yesterday. First Father's Day without their dad. They are only 9 and 14.
Click and collect at supermarket today. Rainy day. Yuck.

I used to drink lots of diet soda but my skin reacts poorly when I introduce too much into my diet of several types of food / drinks so I try not to overdo on soda. My skin is extremely sensitive!
Good idea with the soda as it has no calories :)
I, on the other hand, no longer drink diet pop, but I miss it very much. I don't care for regular, sugar pop.
When I'm having a very hard day, I will resort to having a diet Coke at work. Otherwise, at home, we have a selection of flavored (non sweetened) carbonated waters. Bubbly and Lacroix.
Having the last of the yogurt this morning, and adding an extra quinoa bar so I don't get so hungry before lunch. It will be porridge every morning after this.
Very cautious when right shoulder is sore, so will just do some housework and exercise bike.
Wet weather today so no garden gatherings with friends today. That means no alcohol.
Menu:
Change of dinner plan so this will be my once a week higher calorie day. Hubby is making fried rice with veggies and prawns and topped with fried eggs. Love it!!!!
Total: 1255 No idea
Progress as of today: 1.8 lbs lost so far, only 22.8 lbs to go!
The yogurt is mostly protein, but it doesn't hold me.
Dinner sounds delicious!
Weigh in day. Down 2 lbs! I'm sure one pound is water, but that's okay.
Shoulder is sore today even though I tried to be careful yesterday and skip some dumbbell routines. I hurt it badly before and do not want that to happen again. It was horrible having to avoid using my arm almost totally for months. So no dumbbells at all for a while. I'll just do cardio and lower body/abs routines.
Was going to go for a bike ride with friends today but it's very windy. Might get on exercise bike instead.
I was asked about my portion sizes. I weigh everything and since it's metric here calories are per 100g or 100ml. So it's very easy. I had to get creative with curries husband makes though. Almost all of the ingredients he uses are 100 cals/100g or less (most are less). So I weigh the curry at 350g and count it as 350 calories.

This confirms to me that I should really invest in a scale.
I am quite impressed that you have lost 2 pounds. Some (or all) may or may not be water, but that's how weight loss starts, little by little. BRAVO!!
Had an extra cracker and extra packet of popcorn yesterday, but still stayed just under 1300 calories. The yogurt with fruit I eat for breakfast is not filling, so I’ll cut the yogurt to 1 carton a week (3 servings). Porridge stays with me much longer.

Progress as of today: -0.2 lbs lost so far, only 24.8 lbs to go!
May I ask: are your portion sizes quite small?

Put yesterday and its beer behind you. Today is a new day.
Once a week indulgence

Hoping you have a better day today xoxo
It’s ok to have those feelings but it can be so hard to get them to settle without reaching for those habits - I still have times now where I don’t even realize it but I totally reach for food to calm down even emotionally (lately it’s after taking a class I am only taking bc of resume and not at all bc I want to)
Horn_of_plenty on 06/28/2020:
I reach an emotionally low when the class is over (except for yesterday when I did much better with the class being online) but I was coming home and having a huge emotional low where I was extremely tempted and sometimes did resort to food after class ...
There's nothing lower emotionally than grief.
