hi am2-congrats on weight loss over last couple of weeks! i, too, have been known to dip down one week, and then may be up a tad the following week, but averaging a loss over those couple of weeks. definitely seems to happen with me more now than it did in my younger days. you are doing great, empress! your hard work and results continue to inspire me.
hi arabella, anagram, kaylets, and to all our dear royals!
last couple of times i thought i would be back more regularly, but they turned out to be false starts. hopefully, i can become more of a regular again now. was having lots of ms technical difficulties, and just recently, some computer ones too (which hopefully have been resolved.) not too consistent with food plan in past week, and that is changing (for the better) starting right now! had recently gotten lax, and that just won't do at all. back to tried and true basics for me. well, thinking of you all. take care.
Huzzah! Woke up on this glorious 1st Day of Spring with a new joy & feeling that I am cutting loose finally from some things that were holding me back.
And was so happy to see that Wsw is in the palace! Woot, hello, Wsw! Hope the technical difficulties abate with spring & sending good vibes.
Glad thy royal computer be better as well.
Love thy back to basics attitude. I have been on that path this week as well, doing the basic things I know work for my royal self in diet, fitness, building a career back up, and knowing who my friends &/or well wishers are & are not, which is important for me to remember to do.
Among those friends I number the scale, which I unofficially hopped on in honor of the Vernal Equinox today & it was good. The goal is to keep it good for the official Sunday weigh-in.
Greetings to Arabella, Wildfire, Anagram, Kaylets, & all our Royal Comrades past, present & future! Huzzah!
Congratulations on the yoga challenge sucess, Arabella. Woot, good plan for later to do steps & yoga early eventually.
I find if I don't get a good chunk of the steps done early, It is much harder to finish the quota. Weights are the same.
Sorry about your snowstorm. Hope you do have daffodils.
Thanks for understanding how my weight of 130.2 really IS virtually in the 120s lol. I am mentally there & have 9 days to the first Saturday weigh-in on March 30 to lock it all up.
Doing a little Hippity Hop to the Day Before Easter (March 30) Challenge to limit candy, which recently I have been eating as long as it is wheat free, to no more than THREE snack size bars of dark chocolate, although eating any of those teeny bars is NOT mandatory. No other candy can be eaten in this challenge.
Thinking of our royal friends & wishing them the best as they quest hither & yon.
Well, had to pitch the chocolates after all lol. Ended up in a trigger state of 2500 calories or so.
Eating out twice this weekend but intend to stay on track anyhow.
Woot! Huzzah to all royals!
Huzzah on the jeans victory & getting in the hot yoga & steps, Arabella! Woot, you are doing great!
I am quite lazy today & happy as the breakfast meal at restaurant did not happen. I am glad because I just want to stay home & get steps in around my property & neighborhood & to be honest, lie on the couch.
A frozen lemon pavlova sounds wonderful. I have never had pavlova, but know what it is. Did not know it was ever made frozen. I love lemon, think I would love such a dessert.
Greetings to all our lovely & intelligent royal comrades.
Well, Fresh Start Monday for me, although it's mostly been Fresh Start, Monday, Tuesday, etc for me. Saturday I felt the best I have for months which should be an inspiration. Sunday not bad either but did not sleep well last night so am not yet a happy person today.
But I will be because I have read the Queenly Inspirations and they have had their usual "UP" effect.
Liked your chocolate plan, Empress. I had started a similar one w/jelly beans but it was a disaster. So no jelly beans until Easter and then hopefully not "three bags full".
We're having snow again today as well but it's looking like it won't be a devastating one. All this winter (and I'm grateful) our snows have been very light and disappear quite easily. Nonetheless I'm not venturing out as my tai chi class has been cancelled and I hope to get in a nap at some point. Hopefully a short one - just enough so I don't end up taking a long one by default later in the day.
I totally agree you are in the 120's Empress and I too love your various walks, Wood Nymph. I got in one good walk this week with the walking stix. Doing the PT exercising well enough but that doesn't use up the calories as well. Just need to do them to keep moving.
Well, back to watching snow and doing odds and ends. No big plans for me at this point. Just slow and steady .... hopefully.
Unofficially at 129, but it could change by the official Saturday weigh-in. We'll see.
