Good Monday morning-
It was a nice weekend. Not a perfect weekend but at least maintained the loss of the last week. Nothing to get excited about as the loss was the gain of the last month. Still no real planned exercise except for snow shoveling & ice chipping. Although I'm not minimizing that as exercise. We have ice like a glacier outside the garage & I'm still shoveling paths from our time away in Feb.
Sunday- B- toast w/ smart balance, L- squash soup & crackers, D- Pork, eng muff, cole slaw, wine, Snacks- peanuts, 2 squares of chocolate. Hmm- seems like I'm missing something. Came to around 1400 when I posted on LoseIt.
Anyone else use the LoseIt app? I Really like it. it stores your food so it's easy to pull up foods that you eat frequently. You can put the ingredients of a recipe & it calculates your serving.
I'm not posting my weight here because it makes me too crazy. Up a pound, down a few , up again. Just not serving a good incentive for me. I will say that I am setting a 10 lb goal. Although I have a lot more to lose than that, ten is a doable goal for now.
Have a good Monday!
Hi-
Friday was not the day I had planned but that's life. Called for a dentist appt & since they could take me right away , there went my gym class. & then went to the oral surgeon for a consult in the p.m. Turns out that my last dentist didn't take care of a few dental problems so need to have a wisdom tooth pulled & three teeth need major work. At least I feel that I have a good dentist now & will have the needed work taken care of. Thnk positive, right? !
Meals yesterday- B- wh toast, L- salad & soup out at restaurant , D- Thai restaurant- vegetabes & chicken Snacks- gl of wine, peanuts, piece of chocolate
No idea about calories. Fairly healthy meals . Always think there are hidden calories in those Thai meals.
Will try to get some exercise in this weekend.
Hi-
Another decent day -
B- fruit & almond milk smoothie, L- tom/basil soup, small piece of toast, handful of cashews, 2 slices of turkey; D- leftover African stew; Snacks- peanuts, 100 calorie ice cream bar; 2 pieces of chocolate
Exercise- just floor stretches
Happy about- keeping calories in check, eating mostly healthy food, eating small portions, no wine
Today- more exercise
Hope everyone has a great Friday!
Enjoy the weekend there!
Hi-
Good day yesterday. B.- wh toast w/ smart balance , L- carrot/ ginger soup. D- African stew w/ chick peas, tomatoes, peanut butter, sweet ptoatoes Snacks- peanuts, sorbet, wine, apple, square of chocolate
Exercise- shoveled a path (long) with all of February's snow, mall walking
Challenges- out with grandchildren for ice cream & ordered sorbet- I guess better choice than ice cream
Feel good about- Having a no meat day, getting in some exercise, having mostly healthy snacks. Scale showed down one of the pounds gained in Feb.
Now to make it two good days in a row!
Have a great day!
Hi-
I'm back home & back to routine. So, no excuses, right? Seriously, March has got to be a month of being more diligent about watching my portions, eating healthy , avoiding snacks ( This is me giving myself a pep talk.) This morning I had a Dr appt & of course one of the first things they want to do is get a weight. I said, not today. The nurse said, ok, works for me. I like this time of the patient being more in control.
Speaking of weighing in though- I didn't have a scale available to me for the last 5 weeks. So I did gain a few pounds & hope to get those off this week.
Yesterday- Wh toast w/ smart balance. , ginger carrot soup, chicken stir fry w/ rice yogurt, gl of wine, 2 oranges, mini snickers. serving of almonds
Hope all is well with everyone!
Hi-
Been busy with guests and not in any usual routine. Things going well- Good amount of walking. Walking at least 30 min each day- more often 45 min.. I do appreciate being here in Fl & able to exercise outside. Though I am missing my weights & abs class & zumba. Food choices fine in the morning through about 4 pm.
Not going so well- Snacking starting around 4 until dinner. I just can' t have any nuts, crackers, or I keep going back for more. Same for a glass of wine- often turns into a glass & a half. All of these things are preventing me from losing.
As I said in an earlier post, I don't have a scale here . As I was walking into a Publix market one day I saw a woman getting on a scale. One of those large scales & I thought - That is the last thing I would ever do! I hate being weighed in the Dr office so the idea of weighing myself in a grocery store for all of the world to see would be a nightmare!
Have not been logging my calories on Lose it for the last few days so will get back to doing that this week.
Hang in there!
Hi- Having a great day. A good vigorous walk, Qi Gong with friends, lunch at a good restaurant, reading & a little paddle around the pool, now sitting on the lanai wondering what my husband is preparing for dinner. Life is good!
Food- B- banana & peanut butter, L- portobella sandwich w/ small salad, S- goldfish crackers D- ? somethign with chicken & spinach & a glass of wine.
I will be happy if I can return home at the same weight as when I left. As I said in an earlier post , there is no scale here in my condo & I haven't gone out of my way to find one - so need to pay attention to what I'm eating. I can't afford to gain any weight. I should be on the losing side but I'm not going to beat myself up about that during this month.
I am keeping track of calories on Lose It which also helps. Thanks for all of your encouraging comments.
Hi-
Up& down this week.Today a better day with about 1400 calories . Everday seems to be a challenge for me. We've had company & out for meals. Today we ate at home so easier to control portions & plan ahead.
Hi-
Enjoying my time here in Fl. Have done a lot of walking. 2 1/2 miles again today.
Food- I've been logging on Lose It- has just been okay - around 1500-1600 today .
Today- healthy breakfast & lunch , dinner could have been better - had coconut shrimp & then had 2 cookies for dessert.
Tomorrow- better choices!
Hope everyone has a good weekend !

Still chipping away at the ice - what a Winter you are having.
It is at times a up and down journey that we are one but if we stay on the journey it starts going our way.
Good luck and have a great day.

I'm crossing my fingers we won't have to do another ice chipping - I am SO done with snow removal :P It's supposed to stay above freezing this week so hopefully we just get some good melting. Good for you for staying on track this weekend!

Good on the 10 pound goal...I have recently thought about doing the same...losing just 10 pounds would put me back into some of my clothes I currently can't wear. :-)

Goals in any amount are good. When reached, they all add up in the end.
