Friday, May 27th

126.8 (that's better!) 1859 calories (270 from junk), 173 Carbs, 97 Fat and 109 Protein. Calories were high. I was at a little over 1,500 after dinner and didn't intend to add any more calories but then went for a power walk for an hour and came back very hungry! Ate some peanuts and yogurt with blueberries - better then chocolate or chips I guess!

Went shopping (again) yesterday and bought some cute things. I hated clothes shopping when I was big. Love it now!

Work today. No real plans for the long weekend. I might go get a new phone tomorrow and on Monday the scouts march in the Memorial Day parade which I will join in on. Hope the weather cooperates - never know in May!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good California Morning !

     As a Reiki Master, I am extremely sensitive to energy. The energy in Santa Monica is unlike any I have experienced !!  I have done energy work long enough to fairly naturally filter/block negative energy and stay centered on amplifying the positive. I am finding positive energy in abundance !!

     I didn't bring my Fitbit, but had to have had a record number of steps yesterday ! Had an absolute blast scouting out sights and things to do with my daughter. I WILL be on the Santa Monica pier ferris wheel at sunset while we're here !!

     Decided I needed a "California edge" to my short haircut... love it !!!   I AM logging my food on MFP. If it takes 21 days to form a habit, 494 consecutive days on MFP have transformed my "normal".

Feeling blessed and grateful !

Diane, sounds like such great fun!!  Take a picture from the ferris wheel and share with us, if you can!

Reiki Master - fascinating! Have fun in Santa Monica!

Good morning - it's Friday!!  It's much cooler and more gray than yesterday, so I'm back in long pants.  Tomorrow goes back to hot and humid - could reach 90.  Gotta love New England weather!

I'm still not where I want to be (come on body - hurry up please!!), but feeling a little better every day.  We're supposed to go to a cookout at my cousin's in MA on Sunday, but it's a 3 hr. drive each way, and unless I make a miraculous recovery between now and then, it will be too much.  I'm disappointed, as I was really looking forward to seeing her and others I see rarely.  She's also like a sister to me, and she made the trek up here to go to the recital, but I know she'll understand.

Weight was the same as yesterday.  Food is still in its place.  The anti-biotics make my stomach feel funky - not sick, but not very hungry either, so it's not been too hard to limit calories.  I'm just making sure those calories are mostly healthy proteins and veggies.  I have indulged in a sf pudding with a little whipped cream though, I must admit. 

Paula, I find it interesting, and not surprising, that even though your calories have been about the same, the number of junk food calories were down and your weight has also gone down.  Blows the theory of just counting calories doesn't it?  The type of calories do seem to matter too, in my  humble and unscientific opinion!  :)

Have a great Friday!

Hugs, Mary

Take extra good care of yourself my friend. We want you to be all well!

Thanks Linda!

Today I learned that DianeO is a Reiki Master. 

122.8 this morning.

Hey, I have been at my maintenance weight (or within a few pounds up or down) for 6 months.  Freakin Fabulous, I say!  Also of note, now that I look at the calendar, is that it is 7 years and 1 day since my BrCA diagnosis. 

Today I am grateful.  The likelihood that I would be here at all today, much less thin and trim, was really quite small. 

Thanks for being here to celebrate with me :)

Shel

Definitely a cause for celebration Shel!!!  Congratulations!

Lets hand out cups of gratitude!  Big cups because they're calorie free!  (Yes gratitude looks like beer when you serve it in mugs)
