Joined the gym today with my husband and kids. Need to take the Aqua Zumba class or walk in the pool.
Joining gym is a wonderful step towards your challenge.. My hubby and I walk each night, fast mode, walk for probably an hour or so, less if it is intense heat as it is now in the south.
DW is doing good. We are checking her BP daily and so far so good. We see our primary care doctor this coming Thursday and we will find out what she thinks.
I have spent hours and hours doing heavy carpentry work in our back yard. Bright Sunshine, 97 degrees and super high humidity. Seems like I have been taking three or four showers every day. At least it is good exercise and a big calorie burn. I am drinking lots of water. I have increased my water intake and I am up to drinking 150 ounces a day now. Plain water from our well with nothing added to it. We are lucky we have exceptioally good tasting well water
Today I had another 2 pound loss and I have broken into the 260's now.
Not bad when you consider that exactly two months ago on the 19 of April I weighed 307 and now I weigh 269
Ok weighed in this morning no gain no loss not sure what is going on but will try and figure it out I actually had a great week but I'm getting so close to my goal I'm wondering if I should move to phase 2
B - bacon - I was in a hurry to get out of the house.
L - avocado, tomato, shrimp
S - grilled pork
D - cheeseburger, dill pickle, roasted green beans
It has been a decent week. Still not weighing until Monday morning for the week though. Next week I probably need to cut back on salt and do a better job of finding good recipes. We grill a lot so first week hasn't been too tough.
We have raspberry plants in our backyard and they are producing gorgeous berries everyday. I am freezing 1/2 cup serving size bags for post induction.
I weighed in this morning and did not gain but did not lose.. I am sort of on phase 2, but did not add fruit , etc..
I am disappointed, as the only thing I did add was some veggies, and they were not the high carb ones.. I never went off program during this week.

That's what happened with me Saturday, I did really good all week didn't go off plan and didn't gain but didn't lose either. I am to sort of on phase 2 and I haven't added any fruit or anything else yet. I have just increased my veggies from phase I so I'm not sure what is going on. I'm 14 lbs from my goal and thinking maybe I need to increase my calories a little. I average about 1250-1300 a day. I'm going to wait until I weigh in this Saturday and see what happens before changing it up.
First week weigh in, lost 7 lbs. and I am very happy with that. I would like to lose another 20 lbs. by mid-August or about 3 lbs a week until vacation. Might be tough but headed in the right direction!
S-cheese stick
L-cheeseburger, tomatoes, dill pickle
S-pork chop
D-stuffed zucchini

Busy day today but it went well. I did one of my favorite activities. DW and I volunteered to transport a Shriners Hospital patient and his mother to the Tampa Shriners Hospital. I love helping those children get help.

That's okay. Not going to get too upset. I slipped, it happens. At least it wasn't the milkshake or cold stone I usually have on Saturday. And I have left over steak for tomorrow which means...... drumroll........ Steak and Eggs!
I have been super busy building a project in the HOT Florida Sun and HIGH HUMIDITY.
I have been building an enclosed trailer to tow my motorcycle to the Albany area of New York State. DW and I head North to visit our children and grandchildren leaving on July 7th. My son and both grandsons as well as my stepdaughter all ride motorcycles and I am so looking forward to this trip.
and HIGH HUMIDITY.
