Finished up yesterday with about 1950 calories, YIKES!! Had sweet Hubby's birthday party and HAD to have some of my Mama's cake she made him!! Oh well, back to 1600 and under today!

Yesterday was great!! Calories at 1645 but no exercise :( But still a great day!! This morning, I ran for 8 minutes on the treadmill!! WOOHOO!!! Huge accomplishment for me, I've always stopped at 1 or 2 minutes, or as soon as I started breathing hard!! So proud of me this morning!! Ended up burning 243 calories and making 1.75 miles!!!

EDIT: Guess I should clarify that I ran for 8 minutes and walked for 23 minutes!! I do wish I could burn 243 calories in 8 minutes!!

:bravo: on getting back on track with the calorie counting and gratz on that treadmill running/walking! Keep on keeping on!! :running:

I'm just getting back up on the wagon myself, go us!!!!

Last time was just practice for this time!

Glad to meet cha!

Hey Roll Tide Welcome back sweet heart!! Yep you are in good company, we really do feel your pain. I guess all we can do is try our best right?!
Your husband sounds like mine- they do love us, but we need to make healthy choices for ourselves. We want to look and feel better about ourselves.
I wish you great success in your weight loss goals :)
Maybe by the time Bama kicks off this year we will both be down about 20-25 lbs!!:D

welcome back! just like you, I have come crawling back with a re-gain. but i am still unable to change my ticker.

back on the pony we go!

Had a special family day yesterday -- invited over to partake in barbeque by DS the Younger and his Beautiful Bride. I love spending time with this child, I am so SO proud of him and what he is accomplishing (working full time plus excellent grades in law school) and I love his lovely wife and her parents and brother, who were also there ... :hug:

We had to leave home before lunchtime, so had lunch along the way @ Denny's, where I had a half serving of their Cranberry Apple Chicken Salad, one of my favorites, and water with lemon. I made a salad (green beans, wax beans, kidney beans, lots of celery and a jar of artichoke hearts) so I knew I would have something "legal" to eat. My darling DIL had a vegie plate for appetizer, so I kept myself busy with the raw carrots and grape tomatoes and passed on the dip. I passed on the potato casserole and corn and had tri tip steak (truly delicious) with my green bean salad and a broccoli salad that my darling daughter-in-law remembered I like. And I brought strawberries for my dessert so I was easily able to pass up the two kinds of pie she offered.

My Food Diary tells me I went 200 calories over my allotment for the day if I want to lose 2 lbs. a week, which I certainly do, but most other days this week I've been below what I'm allowed, and I feel really, really good about my food choices yesterday. Planning and preparation saved the day! :carrot:
