Diana, no seafood and the night before only ate veggies. My Dad has history.

Ian, my good cholesterol is high. He said it's excellent...So do I get to worry a little less?

[Rhiko]

Ugh... still going off the rails a bit, but at least it's with Subway. It's the middle of Autumn but the day time still feels like the middle of summer. I don't like exercising in the hot sun and it makes me very grumpy after I finish
Tonight is daylight savings and the clocks go back, so the weather should start to become pleasant in the afternoons. Soon it will be cold, but I prefer that to the humid, burning heat any day!

Anyway, my accountability! I want to lose a minimum of 3 kgs (6lbs) per month now instead of 2 kgs because I have a new goal. I want to be at my goal weight by my birthday in September. To achieve this I'll have to cut back more on my junk cravings...yes I still sneak too often...and keep with my healthy eating.

I can do this!

Good morning everyone!!

Good Morning Everyone,

Weight is moving up again. Fatigue comes and goes depending on stress/emotions and physical exertion. I'm getting extremely frustrated with this whole mess. I am at the point of "let's see some results here" or I'm going to go mad. I hate having a body that refuses to listen to reason. It's as if my brain and resolve are fighting with genetics/disease. Logically, I know I can't win, but emotionally, I refuse to give up. I will beat the diseases that think they can keep me down...or die trying.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and healthy weekend.

Ian, my good cholesterol is high. He said it's excellent...So do I get to worry a little less?

Absolutely Novangel!

Anyway, I have stalled today. No loss, no gain. It was probably the beers.

Breakfast: 1 coffee, milk no sugar. 1 tea, milk no sugar.
Skipped breakfast. Oops!

Lunch: Chef's salad and cockles.

Dinner: Green Flash Palate wrecker (9.5% abv)

Don't count calories. Can't count.

Exercise: Tiling today and will maybe mow the lawn as well.

Need to get a pound or two off this weekend!

[Syckgirlsfv]

for dinner last night I had tofu with peanut butter and sriracha on it...I cannot tell you how good it was! I am going to have it for breakfast this morning

[novangel]

Thanks, Ian. My HDL is 81 so that is encouraging.

Now that my Doc has me semi-freaked out (again) I've decided I have to get even more serious this time *sigh* because I want to know mentally that if I do wind up on medication that I really did the best I possibly could. I get re-tested July 6th for the 4th time so he's not going to let me get away with high LDL again. For now I'm going to stop overly obsessing about it. It was just a blow to hear it was higher after a year of busting my @ss but whatever...maybe it was a fluke. Onward.

I'm too lazy to type everything out but I ate like a champion today. Super clean and healthy. Salmon, fruit and plenty of green veggies with extra light olive oil. Plain iced tea...but that's all I ever drink anyway outside of water or my 1cup of AM coffee. Always hated soda.

Once my son's friend leaves I will head either outside or the gym for minimum 40 minutes of cardio.

[IanG]

My HDL is 81 so that is encouraging.

Wow. Mine is in the 30s. Gulp.

Acceptable is above 40 for men and 50 for women, I think.

Anything above 60 is rocking it!

Hi Everyone!

Novangel Is your cosmetology exam this week?

Rhiko Hi and Welcome to the check-in! Good luck with your weight loss goals.

Misti I love the new avatar.

Mamakat Hang in there. Don't ever give up. Sometimes all you can do is tread water. I hope things turn around for you very soon.

Ian Sounds like you have quite a workout planned, in the yard.

Syckgirlsfv I don't know about that tofu/peanut butter/sriracha. I do love my toasted raisin bread/ricotta cheese/pumpkin butter though. I made my regular chicken salad today but added some curry powder and I thought it turned out pretty good.

Silver sky Good job on your menus.

Yes, my exam is Wednesday morning.

[Diana3271]

Good Morning, Everyone!

TTOM is EVIL! I had to take Advil several times yesterday, so I think that contributed to my major gain this morning. Eating off plan last Sunday for Easter didn't even do this to me. Well, at least I know how TTOM and Advil reacts on me . . . . but still

Calories for yesterday: 1695 +
Weigh In: DRUM ROLL PLEASE . . . . 162.2 (TTOM)
Up: EXTRA DRUM ROLL PLEASE . . . . 2.2 POUNDS!

So, let me get on about my day and get over myself. I think today will be another Advil day. It seems like I have 2 really bad days during TTOM. Hopefully that's all it will be.

Have a great day!
