Good morning ~ Feeling this meme today! Monday, Monday here we go again! I had a very nice weekend that was way too short. Lots of shopping and relaxing. Kiddo came over and we all had fun. Next Monday I start a new work schedule so heads up, this will be my last week starting the thread. I will be going in later and working longer with every other Friday off. I need to change my sleep schedule, go to bed later and sleep in later to accommodate. It's been a long time coming so I'll just enjoy the last week of my early schedule that I've had for over 10 years. Today I have a meeting all morning and training staff on one of my monthly reports. After a few months, I won't have to do it anymore.
QOTD - Most of us are vets now so this far out, what keeps you motivated beyond the scale or health rewards?
Comfort - feeling comfortable in my body, being able to move and do everything I need to do with minimal effort. It's easy to dress this body and feel comfortable in practically anything. Freedom - I don't want to struggle with weight stigma ever again. It defined me for too long, I don't want to stand out, let me blend - please.
Accountability - Great on food, 4 active minutes, 4,511 steps. Today I'm 170.0 and bloated as hell. I have 30 minutes done on the treadmill w/a 10k step goal for the day,
B - coffee, cottage cheese, tomatoes
L ? ham and cheese on protein bread, pickle, tomato
D ? chicken, cheese and green chili burrito
s- jerky, string cheese, apple
Have a wonderful day!

Good morning ~ Happy Sunday! Yesterday was a good day! Productive, relaxing and fun. Today more of the same. The time change through me off, but I slept in for once! I look forward to some daylight on my commute tomorrow, for a few weeks anyway. I went shopping yesterday and it's full on Christmas in the stores complete with Christmas music - crazy! Anyway I need to get going on Christmas planning. I want to change from multiple little gifts to experience or theme gifts. I think I'd like to gift the kids a trip to Universal - they talk about it all the time. They can buy their own slippers, hoodies and cologne, i'd rather give them fun. Rob wants some vintage style NFL hats - he loves his hats. I can't think of anything for myself! A nice spa day sounds good to me. Today is cleaning, laundry and NFL. Not sure if the kids are coming over or not.
QOTD - Aristotle said - 1. We are what we repeatedly do. 2. Through discipline comes freedom. Do you agree?
I do -100%. I am what i do for sure. I am not fit - I want to be but if I continue to be sedentary it's not going to happen. Nothing changes if nothing changes. I also agree that the road to freedom from the things we don't want can change with discipline - however you define that word - habit forming, willpower or just do it... Again, nothing changes if nothing changes.
Accountability - there was wine, and I added crackers (made from low carb tortillas) and cheese a-plenty. Otherwise, good. 4 active minutes and 4,266 steps even though I didn't wear my watch half the day. I didn't weigh in this morning because the cat was driving my nuts to be fed. Today I am just going with the flow. I'm going to focus my efforts on the weekdays when I am way more productive.
B- coffee, egg, cheese green chili low carb wrap
l - leftover fridge dive
d - leftover enchiladas
s- low carb tortilla crackers and cheese, apple
Have a wonderful day!

Good morning ~ it's Saturday and I'm a happy girl, just see the above meme because that will be me all day. It's supposed to be cold and rainy today which I love, so bring it on. I've been revisiting favorite crockpot recipe's, but you know you have to plan for that, so I'm planning. I want to have protein meals lined up in the freezer, ready to cook and eat and with this weather sounds like a great time to start. Today I don't really plan on being quite that lazy, but close. I want to clear the Halloween out, clean and maybe re decorate a bit. There is my never ending closet room of clothes. I was going through the 'skinny' clothes closet in Robs office. I still have a lot of clothes that I can't fit yet, but after clothes shopping yesterday I went back in there and discovered I had a lot more in my current size including what I had just bought - argh. I could have sworn they were a smaller size. Any way..... I now have a ton of work pants. Does anyone wear mid rise anymore? The old pants are midrise and feel a bit funny so I'm not returning my new high rise dress pants after all. Today will be all of the above, add a nap and laundry and that is my Saturday!
QOTD - Do you give into free samples/end cap display traps at the grocery store or Big box? Usually I have no problem walking by the samples and ignoring end cap deals, but yesterday Traders Joes got me with both. The Thanksgiving day flavored kettle chips on the end cap and a sample of maple ginger cookie (didn't buy them). I did not eat the chips in the car! I waited until lunch and had one serving and literally dumped the rest in the trash.
Accountability - Food add chips and a maple cookie, other wise I was an angel. 2 active minutes, 5,332 steps. 169.0 today, I may get on the rebounder or treadmill.
B- coffee, eggbeater cheese wrap
l - leftover chicken and salad
d - Robs chicken enchiladas
d- quest chips w/Robs 7-layer dip, apple
Have a wonderful day!

Good morning ~ We made it to Friday ya'll! Halloween was fun, we only had a few trick or treaters, but they were adorable. Well, the last 'kid' was about 6'4 and dressed as the Grim Reaper, not so adorable!. I'm staying home today, everything is done at work so I am listening to my body and resting today. Later I may go to the grocery store. Tonight we are getting sushi and watching something not sports related - anything else, please. We didn't get to watch all of our Halloween movies either. Oh well - onward! Christmas is just around the corner!! The weekend looks to be mellow. Cooler temps are here and we'll have rain tomorrow. I'm looking SO forward to that, we have a stash of wood for fires and I'm her for it - bring on Fall, please.
QOTD - Have you ever accidentally blurted out "I love you" without even realizing it, like you were on autopilot? Well, I did it again yesterday! I was wrapping up a call with the person who scheduled my doctor appointment and, just as we were saying goodbye, out it slipped - "Love you!" They laughed it off, but I've done this to my boss and my staff too! The best one? About 20 years ago, I accidentally told my Board President, who was old enough to be my dad, that I loved him at the end of our call. I died at first then he replied, "Well, I love you too!" He was great!
Accountability - Great on food (add sweetarts - maybe 10?) No chocolate was had! 39 active minutes, 8,601 steps. 169.0 this am, and taking a rest day.
b- coffee, eggbeater cheese wrap
l - ham and cheese on protein bread
d - su****una tataki probably
s- cuties, jello w/whip
Have a fabulous Friday!!

Good morning ~ Happy Friday-eve, or thirsty Thursday! Are you drinking enough water? No, I'm not. It's like feast or famine lately. I'm killing it one day and the thinking what happened the next. I've been busy and distracted so any tips would be appreciated. I was able to finish my report yesterday, I just need to submit that today - yay! Otherwise I plan to spend the day breathing. What a game!! Rob though for sure the Dodgers were doomed in the 3rd, but not me - I had faith. Then NY blew it - oh the errors! It was an awesome game! Rob set off a few piccolo pete fireworks he's been saving since the 4th. Actually, there were quite a few going off in the neighborhood at that time, it was pretty cool.
QOTD - If you could live in any movie - which one (or two) would you choose and why?
#1 - The Quiet Man - because I belong there in my soul!! I love all the characters like they are family. #2 - Sex in the City because it's so fabulously extra and fun. How extreme, right?
Accountability - Great on food, 52 active minutes, 9,377 (damnit!) steps. Today I'm 167.8, I have 30 minutes done on the treadmill. 20 resistance workout planned after work
B - coffee, Jimmy Dean egg cup
L - ham and cheese on protein bread, pickle, tomato
D - baked chicken, green beans
s- spicy quest chips w/plain greek
Have a wonderful day!

Getting rid of the candy, yes! Though I didn't buy any of my favorites this time. No almond joys to obsess about! I would love to get to that point where I don't have to track. Using the scale or my clothes as a guide sounds doable in maintenance. No way I could do that now since I don't trust myself and I've got 20+/- to go.

That is a key for me - eating what I really want and like. I go to great lengths to plan what I really enjoy/crave to help from feeling deprived.

If the Dodgers don't win tonight in NY, they will be back in LA on Friday 11/1. I'd love to see them win on their own turf.

Good morning ~ We are almost halfway there! I was able to get a lot done yesterday. I should be able to finish my report today and get it submitted by tomorrow's deadline. Today is another full day of demo, which means another very long day. The Dodgers lost. NYY got lucky, haha... Honestly, I'm glad it wasn't a sweep, that's no fun. Game 5 tonight.
QOTD - How do you keep track of your daily intake; do you use MFP or the like? If you don't track, share some tips on how you maintain or lose this way, please!!! To me, this would be akin to a normie trait, and I need info!
I need to track daily, or I'll end up over my calorie limits in a heartbeat. I haven't been able to trust myself to stay within my calorie limit and meet my protein goal - so I plan, plan, plan. The alternative for me seems to be certain regain and that scares me to death because I never want to go through that again. If you have good tips, please share. We need all the help we can get.
Accountability - Great on food, 73 active minutes, 11,464 steps. Today I'm 168.4, I have 30 minutes done on the treadmill. No work out tonight, but will get my steps in.
B - coffee, Jimmy Dean egg cup
L - RGF burrito, greek yogurt, salsa
D - chicken taco salad
s- jerky, string cheese, cutie
Have a wonderful day!
