We had a bad thunder storm that knocked out our phone lines and I have some important calls to make. Other than that I had another good day.
The fruit and veg challenge was a really good idea.

Goals:
Accurately record everything I consume: M=Y
Keep calories between 1200-1400: M=1875
Report in here every day: M=Y
Walk at lunch 4 days: M=Y
Use the yoga CD at least once.

Robingen, my schedule has actually eased up for now. The first day of classes at the college is actually a relief as all the big lead-up events are over and it's back to routine. And August 24 is the end of birthday/ anniversary season in my family so the endless supply of party food fades away until Thanksgiving. Now I just have to use that routine to my benefit. I was doing well today until I found that half-eaten chocolate bar under some papers on the end table. Eating well is so easy during harvest season when friends and family are just handing you veggies.

Edit: I went back and figured out how much candy leaped into my mouth. I'm way over on calories but I feel better knowing exactly how bad it was.

Brainless goals, all I can handle:

1. Log food.
2. Check in daily.
3. Get some exercise.
4. Set boundaries if I need to.

Best wishes to everyone this week on goals.

Hello all. Looks like I am not the only oone having a bad day diest wise. I have gone over my max today for the second time in 2 weeks. I lost 1.5 pound last week. After today I am going to have to buckle down and work. I have lost of stuff to do outside. The last few days we have been getting thunderstorms and ran in the evening. Woke both of us up the morning about 3 am. It was almost on top of us. I will get into the veg and fruit challenge.I will do 35. I got mine in today. I had 5 cups of cantalope. It was fresh and local and so ripe it smelled so good when I picked it up.

Mern congrats on the new great grand daughter.

Yeah, might as well just do the best we can, I don't think too many of us are going to be aiming for 63 [deleted smily]

Congratulations great-granny Mern

You need to change your name to super weight loss woman, you must have lost 20 pounds in the past few weeks congratulations.

Apologies, I need to stop skimming through these threads and pay more attention [deleted sad face]

Aye, don't we all have bad weekends?

Well if you stop posting this week we'll know why [deleted smily]

Any chance this could be removed?

CURSES indeed, I've already had 2 [deleted sad face]

They need to make diet alcohol, that way we could all drink and loose weight at the same time [deleted smily]



Last night went to a restaurant so my gf could sell an insurance policy and the guy wanted to go out drinking afterwards. At the next restaurant this taekwondo instructor started chatting to us and he too wanted to go out drinking so we hit up another place. A good 3000 calories worth of alcohol later we finally made it back home and when I logged the food I almost had a heart attack, those numbers add up really quickly [deleted sad face] At least there was a good number of veggies in the food.

Goals:

1. Under 2000 calories per day
M-5401
2. Over 3000 calories exercise for the week
M-0
3. Robin's Veggie challenge (I'll go for 35 instead of 50)
M-8
4. Less than 3 icecreams for the week (my gf bought about 25 on Sunday and they look so tasty just sitting there in the freezer in this 35C [that's like 1000F] weather)
M-1

I usually take baby steps getting back into exercise but forced myself to finish the whole half hour by susbtituting mini squats with resistance band work for three minutes of power walking in place half way through and then resumed the regular workout.

Cassie, I think there is a picture of Terri in the previous thread.
Good job on the workout Mern, but what happened on the water? BTW your granddaughter is so precious. My niece is FINALLY walking. My brother sent me a picture this morning. I love baby walking--it looks like waddling. Had an argument with my Mom last night so this brightened my day!

The phones are back on so I can make my important calls this morning. I saw 170.8 on the scale so I am changing my month end goal to 169. Whoo Hoo
The fruit and veg challenge was such a good idea.
Mern: What a sweet baby girl.
RS: You are the champion.
Robin: It was a good week for me, I just have to keep it going.

Speaking of ice cream, my DH bought some so I got some frozen fruit pops,
only 50 cal. each so that is MY new treat at the end of the day. I have given up diet coke because the sweetener was giving me headaches. No more artificial sweetener for me. Some body ate all the cherries.
I am having a banana blueberry smoothie for breakfast. Yum. Have a great day all.
