Ok today has been a pretty good day. I ate OP other than some cheese balls, I went to the gym walked 3.61 miles burned 447 calories. I made two batches of oopsie bread. One to use as a snack with my jello, sweetened cream cheese and one to use for sandwiches and whatnots. I also made some cabbage but I put a tad too much red pepper and it is hot, whew. But I made it so I will eat it. I also cooked some spinach because my baby wanted creamed spinach, I didn't cream mine it's plain. I got all of my water in and 4 cups of green tea.
Hope the scale goes back down in the next few days. I will be so happy
Rough start to the night with Peanut, but eventually he did sleep for 10 straight hours, bless him, which means that by the time I went to sleep, I slept for 7 straight hours. Hallelujah, I don't feel like a zombie today. Combined with two cups of coffee this morning and Madonna coming on the radio in the last 5 minutes of my commute to work, I am a happy camper and revved for the day. I haven't felt this good in weeks; sleep is a beautiful thing.
So I still weighed in at 196.7 this morning, and didn't quite hit my water goal yesterday. But I did better than I have in a while. I had 1.5L yesterday. Today my goal is to hit that 2L and I've actually started towards it already.
As you can tell by my ticker and what's under my name, Im not only back at 300, Im as of today at 302 but I wont let that stop me from getting back down to 292 and lower, My doctor has put me on a 1200 Cal diet and Im gonna stick with it along with my regular walking that I do.
Kukkie, I am so happy for you and loving the sound of your post
Terra I try to do a 1200 diet sometimes I over and somedays I'm way low if my protein is high.
I am down one pound of water to 166.0 still have 1.4lbs more water to release to get back to my low and then I hope to keep it moving. I got to the gym walked 2.77 miles burned 350 calories. Carbs today only 18, I am so proud of me. I have to thank this versatile oopsie bread.

Kukkie hope you got all of your water in and Peanut slept well
Angie how's the puppy doing?
Terra did you get your walk in today? Do you use a site to track your calorie intake?
akelly, jodoto and ushotmedown how are you doing?
WahineByTheSea how did your weigh in go?
LOL I typed what I wanted to say and my computer had a delay and I copied and pasted something else ... I'm down another .6 of water to 165.4 hoping to see my 164 by tomorrow no later than Friday. My youngest sons bday is Friday he wants a chocolate strawberry cake and a chicken pot pie. So I'll be cooking most of Friday so that I can have the cake cool and write on it before he gets home. I want everything done, my Mom will be down here some time on Friday and we have a bday gathering for my Auntie on Saturday. My Uncle also prayerfully will come home this weekend. It's going to be a great end of the week
Rennie ~ Im about to walk for the 1st time today and since its getting nice outside Im gonna start walking outside until it gets too hot out and then I'll walk inside again but for now Im gonna enjoy the weather while its nice. I didnt get my morning walk in cause I had to go to a meeting today but Im gonna start walking outside in the morning and one more time in the evening after dinner. That should be good. I re-joined MyFitnessPal cause I had forgot my password and got it re-sent to me but they never sent it too me so I just made a new account, I havent used it though.
Terra - hope you enjoyed your walk. MFP is fantastic. I know Rennie uses it and I actually used to as well. I will likely go back to it when I "re-start" after my move.
Rennie - I did get all my water in yesterday. But I think because TOM is in town, my body totally held onto it. I weighed in at 198.5 this morning. I didn't do as well today, maybe 1.5L I think. I don't want to drink the rest right before bed. If there's one thing I don't miss about being pregnant is having to wake up in the middle of the night to pee! I'll do better tomorrow. Peanut went to sleep by himself for the first time in over a week last night, but a few hours later when we were going to bed, his monitor started beeping and gave us a scare. He was sleeping in the corner of the crib, and the sensor pad couldn't pick up movements from the corner, so it started signaling there's no movement (it's designed to alarm if baby stops breathing or whatever). Anyway, we both ran to his room to check on him, and THAT woke him up. After that, he only wanted to sleep with mommy, but at least he slept peacefully after that. How old is your youngest going to be now? I forget, you have 5 kids?
Not too bad - not nearly as bad as I deserve I ate a lot of pasta. Not that I regret it, of course, it was just a special treat, but now I've got to get back on track.
I'm only up 1.6 lbs today Far luckier than I deserve!

Happy birthday to your son! Hopefully your willpower holds out - I have a bad habit of "sampling" as I bake, which doesn't help the diet any!

ushotmedown, good going keep it up you'll get there
Kukkie, wow on these advanced monitors. I like that motion/breathing mechanism what a blessing. Glad he went back to sleep. You know they say not to allow your children to sleep with you but I believe all of ours slept with me. It was just convenient. Rissa is the youngest she's 10. The youngest boy will be 13 on Friday. Yep 5 big joys now (my giants) thanks to daddy being so tall . Their ages this year 21, 17, 16, 13, 10. and I'll be 48 next month.
WahineByTheSea, you don't deserve more of an up You just didn't eat as much as you thought and what you did eat you walked or something off. Look at it as a NSV My issue is the cake batter (bowl) I will probably pass on his cake and ice cream and the batter because we are going to my cousins on Saturday for my Auntie's 86th bday and I will eat some yummy things there (maybe).
I am up 1.2 with TOM this morning and the lack of sleep. I need to be in bed earlier and I just don't go, so not good for me. I'm tired all of the time and it ridiculous. I'm not a napping person but if given the opportunity I will surely take one
Kukkie84 ~ Well I havent figured out how it works yet so thats probably why I dont like it that well right now but once I figure out how to use it I'll probably like it more.
I had an OP breakfast and lunch and then my daughter and her husband came over and it all went down hill. We went to cheesecake factory. I had two mini crabcakes (more fillers than crab in my opinon), salmon (that was bland) asparagus and mashed new potatoes, oh and the brown bread with the oats on the outside with butter, not alot but enough . So expecting a gain not a loss for tomorrow.
I didn't weigh in today. I meant to, but then I forgot. How does that even happen? I don't know. I think I'm going to stay off the scale until next weekend.
As you can tell by my ticker and what's under my name, Im not only back at 300, Im as of today at 302 but I wont let that stop me from getting back down to 292 and lower, My doctor has put me on a 1200 Cal diet and Im gonna stick with it along with my regular walking that I do.
