Welcome, Worth!!!

I am really struggling to stay on plan! Tapas last night, followed by a chocolate lounge...not good. But I can't give up. I know I can find my mojo. Today is another day!

I had a so-so day yesterday - today is DH's family reunion - we always host. Unfortunately they are all awesome cooks - I'll be busy watching the kiddos in the pool - somehow parents never watch their kids - GRRRRRR.

Considering a no weighing August - afraid it could backfire - still considering.

Did well for the last 2 weeks, and then tonight, what do I eat? Roast chicken with the SKIN on. Like I don't know any better. It still fit into my calorie count for the day, but seriously...?? Not a huge slip, but a stupid one. Other than that, things have been going well and I'm on plan at around 1550 cal/day (I actually aim for 1600-1700 but end up always a little less, and perfectly satisfied hunger-wise).

I'm noticing that most people on this board who are "big" losers spend a good deal of time each day exercising. How much time do y'all put in being physically active? Mine is really only around an hour a day, so I'm planning to up that in August to maybe an hour and a half every day--just to see if I can get some fat burning results.

Anyway, new week/new month starting tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to it!

Hello Ladies! :wave:

I just realized I haven't been here all week. What a crazy one! My oldest son turned 5 on Tuesday so we had lots of Bday excitement. Work has been crazy and I'm putting in lots of extra hours in the evenings. Workouts stayed strong all week. Food is still iffy....good day, bad day, good day, bad day.... :dizzy:

On Wed I'm leaving for Florida until the following Monday so you may not see much of me. I will have a computer because I have some work to do. I'm spending a couple days on Pensacola Beach and a couple days with my family. The hubby and boys are staying home. I can't wait for this heavenly little break.

Gotta get to bed. I'm supposed to bike with a couple friends in the morning if it doesn't rain.

G'night ladies!
:D

Great weekend!! We walked yesterday for 60 min and today for 120min. Food was perfect both days.
