“3 Good Days”, continued…
Got on the treadmill for 45 mins. , even after the garden totally kicked my butt. Oww lower back aches, creaky hips, bug bites. No excuses though… I turned on the Nightly News, turned on the treadmill and got busy.
Tomorrow is Day 3 in my quest for getting my groove back, my [...]
Several “been there done that” ladies offered some excellent advise on 3FC forum, after I asked for much-needed HELP! I need my groove back, my mojo, etc. (See tab at top to see their words of wisdom).
Robin said to start with 3 good days, and the rest should follow to get back on track. I [...]
How did I lose a pound this week?
Exercise: 1 hour treadmill, eating: a bit out of control. Predicted I had actually gained a few pounds… puzzling to see the scale go down a number, but a happy surprise for sure.

My 2nd day of calorie counting and I completely lost it. Maybe scrutinizing my food consumption isn’t healthy for me. I did fine Wednesday with it, but oh lordy, yesterday was BAD…
The old me would go on & on about my lack of control, loss of will power, and overall weakness. Yes, I ate much [...]
Started out making a smoothie for breakfast, made it bigger than usual. Proceeded to drink ALL of it (435 or so calories). My husband’s out all day, so it seemed like a good time keep going, to eat a little this, eat a little that… Now I feel gross. Gurgle, blurp– eck.
Can I make myself [...]
Tracked all my calorie consumption today:
Grits w/margarine, sugar and salt (comfort food from my childhood)
Coffee w/half & half
1/2 apple w/peanut butter, 6 pretzels, a few almonds
1/2 bagel sandwich w/cheese & turkey ham
burrito w/spanish rice, cheese, olives, refried beans
Nonfat yogurt w/strawberries, sugarfree fudgesicle
… Adds up to 1500 calories, probably more like 1600-1700 since I don’t measure [...]

Okay, I’m doing the dreaded calorie count, (ugh!), starting today. It reminds me of my mom, back in the 70’s and 80’s, with her little calorie counter, tracking every crumb that passed her lips. This was also the era of the grapefruit diet and the cabbage soup diet. You name it, she’s tried it… everything [...]
… Or am I burning out? Really struggling to get in gear to exercise the last 2 weeks. I was a “force to be reckoned with” when I started the weight loss thing a few months ago. Now I look back and wonder where I mustered all that enthusiasm.
The weight is coming off slower now, [...]
Bummed I skipped exercising today, especially since I took yesterday off too. Sundays are my off day, but today’s another story. Maybe I’m worried that since I reached my 1st goal, to lose 20 lbs, that I’ll slack off and get too comfortable at this weight. This is where I was 2 years ago, and [...]
