August Adventure Sunday

It's hard to believe that July flew by so quickly and we're already in August, day 2..

If you didn't post goals yesterday or post yesterday at all, what are your goals for August?

Mine are to lose a few lbs.  EXERCISE...not just think about it!

Today's plans:
lot of liquids
at least 2 protein drinks...working on one right now
brunch...high protein at Breadwinners or Taco Cabana
dinner...don't know since I'm not at home...will fix something high protein tonight at home

What's your plan?  Make it a good one!

Morning,

My plan for the day is to stay in the kitchen baking and pre cooking for the week.  Will do my best to stay on track and actually eat.  Weekends are bad for me if I'm home.  I just don't bother to eat.  Yesterday it was 1:30 before I had a bite at all.

Trying to up the protein a bit more and the water as well.  Vitamins will be packed for the week.

Good morning!!!  I did really well last night until hubby and I went to his cast party last night...lots of yummy food to graze on!  Oh well..... still don't have any restriction and hope to get another fill in the next week or two.

Today's plan....  MIL is taking us out for breakfast before she heads back to San Antonio then it's back on plan....whatever that is!

Have a good day everyone!

Good Morning Karla & August Adventurers,

I was able to stay in onederland for my July Journey.  However, toward the end, the carb monster attacked me.  I weighed 198 for the end of my journey.  I had gotten down to 194.8. the week before.  I want to see 195 by Labor Day or at least by the end of September.  So for this month, I am going to set my goal to lose 5-7 pounds. 

Oh sister...chick-o-sticks are evil...ate them all the way home yesterday.  Today hasn't started off good either.  Clay and I went to Burger Island and I had 1/3 of a double cheeseburger (which is HUGE) and about 10 FF followed by 2 small frozen Milky Ways.  I need to get inside my head and figure out WHY I'm eating this way.  I know I've got to stop. 

I have a London Broil marinating for dinner and will munch on that the next few days.  I also bought salad fixings.  Haven't been doing well lately on "sides" to go with dinner-too many potatoes.  I also need to be more faithful about my vitamins.  I do great for a week or two then slack off.  No excuses, I just need to DO it. 

Goals for August:
1.  Take all my viamins everyday
2.  Have labs done
3.  Cut WAY BACK on the carbs.
4.  Lose back to 154-155.

 ok so I did great yesterday... I was so proud of myself and then this morning I hit a huge speed bump... Well I got my coffee in and then got a wild hair and decided to mow the front and back yard. What in the world was up with that... I did though make sure I drank plenty of water. I had three huge glasses of nice cold water. Then I came in around noon and had a bacon and egg sandwich with cheese... ok so I ate about the size of where the yolk is because everyone knows thats the best part.
I did take my vitamins... I am making sure I don't skip a dose of those things. 

Goals for this month and remaining:
More food with high protein
Water Water Water
Vitamins
Gain some weight so I can start back at the gym
Make sure I eat breakfast and not just coffee to start my day

Love to you all...
Thank you for being my family

My dream for this month is to get my surgery! I'd also like to lose another 10lbs before then but since I don't know when that will happen I'm not holding myself to it absolutely. I'll be happy to maintain my weight loss so far.

For today....
Cracker Barrel breakfast....Scrambled Eggbeaters, 1 slice bacon, 2pc. wheat toast
L.....Grilled chicken salad
S.....Protein shake
D....Taco Soup w/ a fewblue corn chips crumbled on top

I haven't been posting on TMB much lately, but I do read and keep up with everyone.  I have not gained any, but I haven't lost any either.  I'm starting to feel out of control with my eating and snacking.  I have some personal stuff going on that is feeding the "old me" - the one that turns to food for comfort.  I haven't felt that in a long time and it scares me that those feelings and habits are surfacing.

So today I cleaned out the fridge and pantry - got rid of all the carbs.  I went to the store and bought all my good foods and today I'm cooking my go-to proteins to have them in the fridge and ready for the week.

My goals for August are:

1.  get back to running/walking and lifting weights at least 3 times a week

2.  get refocused on proteins first and water/tea only (no sodas, ugh!)

3.  get all vitamins/supplements in daily and on schedule

4.  figure out how to make deeper friendships so that I have people to turn to instead of food.  I find myself still keeping people at a distance and I don't know how to fix that.  I have met so many wonderful people in the past year and I love them, but I still keep a wall up.  I have no idea why.
