Ugh, up again and it has to be lack of water. I have been focused on staying on check with my calories. Really hard eating out 2-3 times a day. Going to bring carrot sticks/and grapes for today's eat out. Water to drink at the movies with the kids. Hopefully popcorn won't spiral me. Off for my walk.

W: 100 oz that is my magic number. I have only been getting around 64 oz

Good Morning everyone. Hello to my old friends! I haven't posted in a very here in a very long time (I may have popped in to say hello last year).
This forum helped me get within pounds of my goal weight four years ago, but after a couple of injuries and lay-offs my weight has gone back up. In fact I am very ashamed of my weight gain (close to 45 pounds), but I am ready to take my body back again. I know my body well. I lose weight very slowly so I am setting up realistic goals for myself. 1 pound a week and I will be happy. I am using NSV's to help keep me going rather than scale victories.
My plan is pretty simple:
W: right now its 64-80 oz this is one part of my diet that hasn't changed much.
E: I am running again. (after 3 years off) My goal is to run 60 minutes 3X per week and 30 minutes 3X per week with one off day. I am also trying to swim 3 X per week (no weights yet)
E: I have been logging in my calories over the past two weeks. My aim is 1500 calories. I have been over and under but as an average 1500 has been pretty good to me.
D: Not to let the number on the scale ruin my day. Don't psych myself out that I can't do something just because it is hard.
With all that said I am down 7 pounds over the past two weeks, but more important yesterday I was able to wear a pair of shorts that a month ago I couldn't even button! I am feeling very inspired at the moment. I just need to keep the momentum going!
