Laura: Thanks for the input on movement. I had been using a recumbent bike or elliptical depending on the day prior to the PT. It's hard for me to make time to exercise (isn't that a fine excuse
) as my husband has an hour commute each way daily so there goes the sitter. I can go - it's just at 445 am or 845pm. I will hopefully start edging it back in here soon.
I also find logging foods immediately is helpful. That reminds me to not mindlessly snack if I feel the need as I walk past the fridge. And sometimes it's nice to see I come in a bit under calorie. My only big issue is at times weighing food. Though I try to, sometimes at dinner time it's a bit harder. Maybe because with lunch I am doing a large salad most days. Or maybe it's because whipping out the scale or measuring cups just isn't how I normally serve. Do you do this with your meals daily? I know it's a best practice as the old eyeballing is not.
Oh the humidity?! Loathe that part of summer but good. We are in our throes of such, and w/all the rain we have had it's extra special and thick somedays. I hear you on staying well hidden in the a/c.
FatDoesntDefine: Hey - I think it's great your hubs is helping you with challenges! Mine is a better talker than doer and I hope one day he decides to work on his weight too. Its nice you have a partner. Is he actively trying to loose?
Ubee: How is the weight this am? did you trip into the 230s?
Hello all!
AM: Well, new batteries in the scale. Grumble - well though it was nice to see 242, I am really 245. Which is still down, just not as markedly as I had been hoping. Onward and downward.
I went online to look at possible ideas on shoes for my trip and some side jaunts to do. I am a planner. Too bad I can't segue that into my dieting life, maybe I should try. I think having a set date to aim for may help me focus on my goals. I look at pictures of me the last big trip we did and well I was mighty round. So I hope that this time round I ditch my own roundness. If I can be a bit lighter and look better and feel better about myself, that will be a big help.
Do any of you know of a good online source for doing some light at home hand weight videos to look at online? Maybe even if I can add that into my day before dishes or the like that might work. Nothing fancy. Or if anyone has used the bells? I have to limit heavy lifting currently and maybe this is a place I can start and wake up the bat wings. And how many days a week do you all workout if that's indeed what you do?
Happy day to you all. I am off to tackle the laundry. Yesterday it became finding the source of all the crummy sweet ants that were in my living room. Seems someone left some sticky juice on a coffee table under a magazine and 3 pieces of honeyed cereal under my couch. I am not a fan of the creepy crawly in my home. Ugh. But its taken care of. I am lemonthyme - giant ant slayer!
