I had a busy weekend, walking a few times and working in the yard. I think we spread 5 cu yards of mulch. Had a Mem day cookout last night and weight looks a bit high this AM due to the sodium in the brat, I think. I'm back on plan today and hope to see some kind of loss in the WW meeting tonight.
Hi everyone~ every time I check in and read your posts it is good for my soul, so I really need to do it more often.
Feels like the past week I've been treading water--going nowhere. I'm mixing up good eating choices & poor eating choices. I feel numb. It puts me on an aimless path which always soon turns into a downward slide. I hate this state of feeling like my sane mind & desires can't connect with my unpredictable eating behavior....
For now I need some good sleep, so I'll head to bed before it gets any later. And then I'll start tomorrow morning with some quiet time of setting my heart & mind in the right direction before my day begins.
Hoping for a whole 'ALL in the game' spirit for myself.
Andi - I hope your weigh in at WW went well. Sodium has a really bad influence on my weight, I have been trying to cut way back. My Irish Granny used to say she could eat anything with salt on - I must have gotten it from her.
Julystar - Hang in there!! Some good choices are better than no good choices, and I am hoping for you that those choices get easier an easier to make.
Maybe try to focus on the result of your choices to see if that helps?
I find getting enough sleep helps everything too - hope you had a good one.
Renee - Hope your week is going well, I know you are such a busy lady!
Weight watchers went well, I'm down 2 more pounds! I made it a point to not eat much yesterday before weigh-in. I still am not crazy about their plan but the accountability part is helpful. Yesterday we had baked cod, broccoli and flavored rice for dinner and it was very satisfying.

Andi, your dinner sounds wonderful! I love baked fish, but I don't prepare it much at home because DH doesn't like it. But it's my first choice when eating out. In fact, last night we went out and I had baked sole, carrots and a tossed salad. I do buy some small fillets and bake or grill them for my lunch.
My weight has gone up and down, but right now it's down. I ate typical American Holiday Cookout food on Memorial day...hamburger no-bun, potato salad, baked beans, corn on the cob....but that menu is now put away and won't be brought out again until Independence Day! LOL
I did WW for a while but stopped because of the cost. Plus I didn't care for our leader. The accountability worked for me, and the helpful hints I learned during the meetings. I tried to continue on my own but it wasn't the same. I tweaked their plan to fit into my low carb eating.
I am in ! I lost from 186 to 172 a whole year ago, and stayed around 170-174 all this last year. Though maintaining some weight off, it really is time for a big push, as I want so much to lose 'the rest'.
I"ve adjusted my goal weight 30 pounds less than I am this morning. so I'm bracing myself for a summer of dieting.
I'm going to read over this whole thread and begin the checking in regularly. Time for me to get the weight off , even if 30 pounds this year ... that would be very cool!

Hermitgirl - Welcome! I hope you find a really supportiive group here. Most of us weigh in weekly on Saturday, but whatever works for you is good.
Andi - Good job on the loss
Have had a really busy week at work, with weird shifts, but have a couple of days off coming up. The weather is improving, and hopefully I will be able to get out and do some major yard work.
AAD - Good job Whatever you are doing is definitely working for you, your losses each week are steady and consistent.
Thanks, Jude. I am sometimes jealous of those who can do it faster, but I am really happy that I have not gone back up at all all year so far. Of those two options, I will gladly take slowly and consistently downward!
