Marie, thanks for the congrats on the good eating and exercise day yesterday!
For some reason I missed your discussion of your evening ice cream sundae reward. That is a wonderful idea. I need something specific like that to look forward to each night as I often end up eating something late that I don't want because I don't have an anchor like your sundae. I am giving that some thought. Ended today at 1640, exercise was a 60 minute walk (40 for time, 20 leisurely). Your bike ride sounds great, sorry the breathing is still irritated, hope that abates soon ... and that the fires stop in your area. Re the scale, it IS its purpose to annoy us sometimes, lol, I hope tomorrow is NOT my scale's day to decide on annoyance. We'll see lol. To all, also wishing you a great weekend. I plan on one. |
Yesterdays cal- a whopping 3000-it had to do with beer and chocolate chip cookies-not together though.:) Exercise-loads of yard work all day and an evening walk around the neighborhood.
Marie-I took up your FAC suggestion. Hubby and I went for a long walk, had a glass of wine at home (only one-small victory for me) and then went out for dinner and a movie. Nice! We saw Lawless. If I had seen the commercials I probably would have not gone since it was pretty violent but I watched most of it in spite of the scary stuff-I left the theater for awhile but managed to come back and watch the ending. I did enjoy the storyline, the clothes, the cars and the scenery. |
Tera, I think of you every Friday and your FAC time with your DH. I have never heard of the movie Lawless but now I will make sure I don't see it. Gotta say, just by the name, I'd guess it to be violent. ;)
Am2, I hope the scale doesn't annoy you today. I did giggle at that is its intended purpose. You are quite right with that. And I never thought of my nightly ice cream as an anchor but that sounds just about right. If I've been bad, I don't get to have it. The air was mediocre good this morning so I did the pup hike with the healthy three. Miss Blizzie and DH joined us for about 50 yards of it. DH couldn't get her to go. Without a doubt, the pack is my pack. Funny story, Blizzie howls and cries when I take the pack out. She'll howl once when DH takes them but when I'm gone, she's a howling husky. So I'm about .7 mile away and she's going full tilt, ruining the peaceful sunrise. I'm laughing, the pack is ignoring her. My neighbor's itty bitty doggies start to howl and then the Malamute pack that lives behind where I was walking start howling. It was so unbelievably noisy, I swore air sirens were going off. I'm thinking my rural neighbors weren't pleased to be serenaded awake this fine Sunday morning. It went on for at least 5 minutes. I did crack a smile a couple time. ;) Marie |
Marie, guess I didn't post yesterday but I DID gain a pound. However, I unofficially hopped on the scale this morning and the pound was gone. But since my official weigh-in day is Sunday, my pound down doesn't count, hoping for more by Sunday.
Tera, lol, that movie sounds like one I'll skip also, although I never go to movies out anymore. Maybe I should do that. Sounds like you had a very active day of exercise, woot! Marie, so cute about the doggies howling. I would love to hear that. Glad the air was good enough to get a walk in for you. I did eat a dessert when I went to lunch with a friend yesterday, so my sugar free count is starting again as I am still committed to it. I am logging that and the streakity streak privately but did do 30 minutes of weights and a 60-minute walk today. Considering doing a mile in the evening all this week but probably won't. This was an official day that I moved my average daily calorie budget down by 50 calories. It is kind of irrelevant as I do calorie cycling and the budget is just a guideline for where I should end up as an average for the week. Ending the eating day at 1450 and ABSOLUTELY don't intend to snack tonight. I have been exploring options for a fixed snack at night as you discussed, Marie, with your little sundae. Haven't come up with anything. It is a very good concept for keeping me from being open-ended with snacks at night. Woot! |
Am2, I smiled when I read the re-lost pound didn't count. I must say I doubt the Sunday pound is the one that didn't count. Fiber, sodium, the moon and star alignment, all play with one's daily weight. I always count the lowest then try not to let the up and down fluctuations irritate me. Most of the time I even succeed at that.
I was the :devil: yesterday. DH and I went for impromptu bike ride. So we rode for just over 15 miles BUT rode to DQ for lunch. Wowza it was delicious. But I finished the day at 2200 calories. And I didn't get my little ice cream sundae last night. :rofl: No way could I convince myself that I had been good. Today I'm on track. Last Tuesday I strained or pulled my calf muscle doing the C25K walk/jogging. Thursday I'd tried again and strained/pulled it more. So I'm off of that for a while. Sadly it is irritated going on the doggie hikes. I wore my knee brace so my knee didn't try to accommodate for the injury and make it go out of alignment. Happily biking doesn't bother it and after work I'll find out if the elliptical is still ok with it (it was last Wed and Friday). And I'm being an :angel: today. So ice cream sundae looks like it is in my future this evening. WOOTS! Marie |
Getting better all the time. Made it to the Y both today and yesterday and what's more, I actually rather enjoyed it. The calories are still a bit on the high side but that will be next. Todays cals-1970, Exercise-60 min step class.
Marie-15 miles sounds like a lot of bike riding. It sounds like you earned that lunch. Good for you for getting on track today. AM2-Good luck with the calorie reduction. How low do you plan to go? |
Lol, Marie, I meant the loss didn't count until the official day (Sunday) and by then I hope to have another pound to add to the re-lost pound. :)
Complex system of accountability here in Am2 Land. Woot! Not sure if I WILL have that extra pound down, though, as cannot for the life of me get to the calorie level I need this week. But true hunger trumps the scale and I needed to eat more tonight. So we'll see. Exercise was a yoga with weights section of an old Biggest Loser DVD that I like. That was all. Funny, you mention DQ, Marie, as THAT was my sugary dessert on Sunday. I do love their small caramel sundae with whipped cream. Sometimes gotta have something like that. Well, we'll see what the weigh-in says! |
Tera, we posted at the same time!
Right now I want to reach 1450 as a daily average and I hope to stay there until and after I reach my goal. I should be able to maintain on that. Good job on the Y! |
1490 and exercise early today was 60 min walk/run and a 30 min walk.
:wave: |
Hi everyone! I'm back and almost back on track. I lost weight on Sun but have gained it back since. Todays numbers are: 1421 calories and almost 13 carb serv. bs was very high earlier today but ok later. Trying to move here at home but no gym until next week as too busy with other things.
|
1442 calories and 12 carb serv, no exercise.

Hi, Maryea, you are doing great! :wave:
I'm at 1495 for today. Exercise was a 24 minute run for time, 6 min light jog, 15 min walk. :wave: |
Wow I can't believe it has been since Tuesday since I posted!!!! I'm sorry I was not around. I wrote posts in my mind but I'm guessing that doesn't count. I have been diligently logging and exercising and being :angel: I was a little sick at the end of the week - a stupid cold - but am doing better. And our sky is beautiful mountain blue. Gray blue smoke is GONE!!! At least for now. The asthma is status quo - no better no worse. Weigh remains stuck and I'm starting to see how the hysterectomy messed my slow metabolism to be even worse. C'est la vie. I can't only be :angel: I can't do starvation.
Mary, glad you're back on track! Am2, how was today's weigh in? Did you get the loss you wanted. Your cals look really good and you're in the exercise zone. Tera how is it going? Funny story for you all. You all know I "real" exercise M, T, W, F, and S and do doggie walks or extra biking on the other days. But the real schedule is carved in stone. So I get this cold on Wednesday afternoon. Sore throat on Thursday but take the pups for a slower walk. Friday, I have a fever and can barely swallow and I still ellipticalled. Here was my self talk: "Have schedule and am sick. Head cold, not in chest yet. It's safe to exercise with a head cold as long as its not in the chest. If I don't exercise today, tomorrow it could be in the chest then I can't exercise. Then it would be a longer break from exercising than if I exercise today." So I exercised Friday and it was no fun in any way, shape or form. But I was happy I'd done it. So yesterday I wake up with no sore throat, no fever and its not in my chest. DH and I go for a tandem bike ride. A short one as not to overdo - only 9 miles. So today was just the doggie walk. BTW, Miss Blizzie did the full hike with the rest of her pack. DH and I took them together and she was so happy. Limped the whole way but we're thinking she'll limp the rest of her life. But her tail was high and flying. :) Marie |
Marie, so glad you are feeling better, sorry you were feeling ill! Glad the smoke is gone for now also! Woot!
My weigh-in made me happy as it was a maintain, did wish for a loss but the body ruled otherwise and I am okay with a maintain. Actually ECSTATIC with a maintain, always. I will get the loss next time. Ending eating day at 1480 and exercise was two walks, one 60 minutes in the morning and did another 30 at noon. It is nice out here, but for some reason, I did not get any work done on the volunteer research project I am doing ... I don't seem to be sick but I don't feel well, just kind of slept off and on all day and this will likely go on all evening, so that is good. No desire to break this good calorie counts, so shall just sleep a lot, I think lol. Huzzah to Tera and Maryea, hope all well. |
Just a quick check in...I actually lost weight while the kids were here...just recyled down a to my sig weight, then went up after they left and now I'm back down again, so guess you can say I'm just stable. :dizzy: On Sun, which I consider my weigh-in day, I was the same, no gain but no loss. Still struggling with the carbs and my bs are at least a little frequently high.
