Walked instead of taking the bus.

Only one very moderate-sized cocktail for Friday night.

I made chicken fried rice for dinner - supposedly served enough for 6 serves - but our two growing children ate 2 serves of it each - I suppose win #1 the girls liked it and win number 2 I only had 1 portion and unlike with takeaway's I don't feel hungry now and its been 2 hours later ...

MagicSusan - well done on walking instead of taking the bus I need to find ways to move more with winter creeping in here in the southern hemisphere

today - went for a walk - got to 10,000 steps may not seem like much to some but its big for me

Great job on the 10,000 steps! :carrot:

I had a few olives and just ONE glass of beautiful red wine for my Friday night treat. I nursed that one glass for-eeeeevvvvvv-er, but I made it work.

This is going to sound backwards, but I waited until dh left the house to work out. If he notices I am trying he will say something he THINKS is being supportive but always makes me grrrrrr.

got in 10,000 steps again today and added a 20 minute home gym session - my DH (dear hubby right?) fixed our total gym xli with rollers we bought online - hopefully little hard plastic ones last longer then the rubber ones that come apart - oh and drank 1.5 Litres of water

thanks Mrs Snark

ennay - does not seem backward to me if my DH did that I would do it too..
My hubby frustrates me I have lost 15kg or 35 pounds but has not said anything - then again he didn't say much when I gained it but that was over years... this is in months - he often says things to wind me up, but my one does it intentionally and never uses my weight

karencat yes, but eventually I am going to have to workout when he is around if I am going to get it in on weekends. :)

I'm stre-e-e-e-tching to find one for yesterday - went with the mom's who walked to McD's to get icecream for the kids (baseball tourney).

I have embraced unsweetened almond milk for my coffee, which I think helps me stave off later sugar/junk carb cravings. Every time I buy the sweetened almond milk I really, really loooooooove it, but it definitely changes my cravings for the worst.

Mrs Snark I love unsweetened almond milk in my coffee! Won't drink it any other way.

I've been doing well overall, I am going to pick for yesterday making the decision to split my dinner in half before ds's baseball game. I knew that eating at 4:30 would not feel like enough when I got home at 9, but that waiting until 9 would have been overall too long. I am restructuring for next week - every wednesday will be like this. Mondays too to some extent

One good choice I made today is coming back to this forum and taking care of ME again. I lost successfully and even maintained for a minute, but then it all went downhill from there. I am back very close to my starting weight and I am ready to do this for the LAST time. I'm ready to put myself first again and stop trying to be everything for everyone.

thanks guys, I look forward to getting to know you!

Oh, Vixsin, we know that well, most of us. Good luck and welcome back.

10,000 steps! That's amazing! Now that the weather's so fine I should get out more but suddenly I'm so busy!

But- I have been grabbing random food items (biberli, anyone?) because I've been so busy and it's really messing me up, so I made quinoa salad to take for lunch tomorrow. Just trying to maintain and not gain at least. A loss would be fab, though :\

I cooked the roast even though nobody will be home for dinner. It is the only day I had that kind of time and this way I will have lean rare roast beef all week for my lunches and probably at least one dinner.

good choice for Dinner tonight -had egg white omelette chicken and spinach for dinner - very nice & not hungry after it!
Also danced with a friend for 55 minutes! :dance:

Woke up around 4 this morning so I went for a jog. Was as least good to start the day feeling like I'd already accomplished something. I need that right now, as business and school (kids) are kinda stressful.
