Ate a lot yesterday, but healthy. Signed up to do the 'Master Cleanse' that had been putting off for years. I mean, the Colonoscopy. So, I ate a ton after I booked the appointment, but my reports for the next two days should be much lighter.
Krystal: So sorry to hear about your ankle. Good luck with the job prospects! I start a new job on Monday and that thought is... exciting and bittersweet.
Tori: I hate treadmills, too. Lots of stuff you can do in the living room with no implements but body weight. My go-to exercise: planks (& variations).
Robin: Hope you're feeling better - you too Hope!
Mern: Yes, I did carp about the need for 'Sugar' logging in the tech section, two weeks ago, but haven't seen a reply. The discussion in the FitDay 2.0 Feedback & Support thread did some meandering from what I felt was the core issue, and this applies to both FitDay 2.0 and Classic, so I re-raised it here. I really hope someone from Internet Brands could speak to this, so at least I would know not to raise the point again if the cause is futile.
All youse with the great reports - Great Work! & Joanna, no more snooze button!

Daily vitamin: Y, Y
Nothing out of a box, can, bag, bottle or package that has more than 5 ingredients listed on the label: N, but if I change this to 75% then Y, N
Drink lots of H2O: Y, Y
Be mindful of portion sizes: Y, Y
Exercise 3x this week: Not yet. Not yet. Plan a good walk today with DS and the hound dog.
Wednesday Plan: Breakfast - veggie/fruit smoothie. Lunch - garden salad with chopped hard-boiled egg, avocado and a little feta. Dinner - rigatoni with home-made sauce, green salad and a slice of garlic bread. Water all day!

I talk a lot to my DH about how I'm doing and tonight when I told him how disappointed I was with being so short on calories and being tired of trying to juggle the numbers, he had suggestions for evening snacks to help make up the difference without going over in carbs. He usually only half listens, but really came through for me tonight.

Just a quick check in. I'll try to get to everyone later.
See even our "regular" members get kicked out. I crack myself up. After our poo poo tea conversation, I can't help but think "regular"
Hell no, she is the queen of OCD, the challenge would have been for her to NOT do it.

Hope you all are doing well; just skimmed; I'm on lunch break from court and I need to get back there before the severe storms hit!

I totally agree. [Sugar logging] is an old discussion and it would be great to have an answer. I know there are much bigger fish to fry right now, though, in keeping everyone from getting kicked off the server. Once that stuff settles down, I'll bump it up to an admin and see if there's any word.

planning must be working because I hit 130, lowest I've been in years. Will I break 130? I've got a poker game, a discussion group, and a Superbowl party, all land mines.
plan for tomorrow:
ham and egg whites
chef salad
shrimp and veg
snacks:
dried kale
cashews
cheese stick
clementines
turkey bologna roll ups
sf biscotti or healthy lemon tart (1/2)
how i did:
1/2 spinach bagel (the woman in the store gave it to me because I was intrigued and it was the end of the day so I guess I MUST eat at least part of it heavy sigh twist my arm - just not my knee!) FINE whole bagel and goat cheese; used it to replace other stuff
leftover tuna with hot wasabi sauce, lotta veg, tiny bit of brown rice - yes
grilled halibut, squash - yes, smaller amount than usual
Snacks:
cashews -no
dried kale - no
cheese sticks or bologna rollups -2 slices ham
clementine - 2 strawberries
computer glitchy, more tomorrow

I'm already 2+ pounds down but it doesn't count until the week is up, because I can gain it back.
I haven't updated lately so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I've been reading some "hey fattie" thread some some a-hole wrote. It's actually kinda refreshing to see it again. I'm only on page 10 but it's a good slap.
1) Lose 2 pounds (starting 194.8)
2) Eat better (more fruits and veggies, less junk)- I ate better (not a lot of veggies though), yes, yes
3) Lift 3 times- 0, yes, yes
4) walk 10 miles- 0, 0, 0
5) Drink more water- no, yes, yes
My back has been much better, I've been able to ride the bike a lot lately, which is just what my back needs. I've been practice with the camera and took this pic the other day.
