Good afternoon everyone!
So, I did my Zumba last night. I was the only person in the class. I'm not sure if that's a good thing because nobody was there to see or a bad thing because the Instructor only had my clumsy ass to look at!
Having said that, I did have the best nights' sleep I've had in a long time. I didn't want to get up this morning, but of course the gym was calling my name. Did my 5 kms because its super cold, windy and damp here so I won't be getting out today.

Afternoon LW's!!! How often do you weigh yourself? From the very beginning I've weighed myself everyday the first thing in the morning. I know others have posted they weigh once a week or month. Every day works best for me. I feel like if the scales are up even a 1/2 pound I can watch for a few days and get it off. I don't know about you but my scales can move up really fast if I eat something on my "no no" list and I like to keep that from happening by checking every day.

For me, after 7 years post op, its about journaling and being aware of what I am eating. Sounds like youre doing all the right things but maybe its time to recheck portions and limit carbs. It does get so frustrtating when that dang scale wont move!
Maybe you need to up the protein and try to walk more or sneak some more movement into your day.
Good luck! Congrats on your success so far!

Good morning!! Back on track today as far as planning. I think I have my whole exercise commitment under control, and now to be more diligent with the diet. I mean I make the right food choices 95% of the time it's just the whole planning and logging in advance. Sometimes I just don't want to think about it and then go through the fridge and throw whatever protein I have in my lunch bag. I do keep protein meals in the freezer so it is very easy to throw together an appropriate day's food, but I just need to stick with the pre-planning and logging. When I don't post my menu its not because I'm not eating!! LOL
Have been to the gym this morning and I'm thinking about doing a Zumba class tonight. I've never done it, I'm sure I will be stellar at it....
. Got out at lunch and walked the track at the community centre too!

I added the protein shake because I was hungry when I woke up and needed fuel for my workout...I will try to spread the rest of the food out over the course of the day so that I can get through the Zumba class without adding more food. While the calories aren't that bad considering I'm really trying to figure out if I want to be in maintenance but still, a little on the high side, but inline with my protein number.

That is totally awesome. 7 years and you are doing excellent. I just started my daily log and I also find some days are low calorie and some have high. I am out 8 years post op(08/2009) and have regained a few. HW: 225 SW:205 GW:130 LW:115 CW:139 I went on a 5 day reset test to break the addictions of carbs and sugar. I did drop 10 lbs since then. (I was up to 149 and said NO WAY LOL) Now I am just trying to eat better. Back on my proteins, water and vitamins. My day consist of
Breakfast: 1 cup coffee with sf hazelnut, a green smoothie. Can't eat all my veggies in one sitting so I blend mines. ( I limit my fruits cause of the sugar) with 1 small apple and a handful of grapes, and my premier protein shake.
Lunch: Turkey and avocado Wrap. (2 thin slice of tomatoes, 5 round thin slices of cucumber 2 slice cheese 2 lettuce leaf, 4 slices of thin turkey and 1/2 avocado).
Snack: SF Popsicle or lightly salted Almonds
Dinner: Protein Shake (Premier)
You are correct with the food daily log. It helps to see where I'm overeating. I recently stopped eating all the bad carbs. like chips, crackers, candies, cakes and pies. I'm so glad my tool still works.
Thank you for responding. I was so happy to see that after you being 7 years out yourself there is still hope for me. Thanks again

There's not much planning on my part although I cook for 25. My menu never changes and every year I keep track of each can of vegetables etc. we used so I can adjust the amounts every year. With the grandkids getting so big I always need to add some. We are going to eliminate most of the pies. They just don't get eaten then DD#1 takes the left over ones to her inlaws. To much work goes into them just to give them away. DD#2 is going to make cherry filled cookies from my Moms recipe and a couple of other things.
Sounds Good Gina!!
