I ate too much yesterday, I don't know what happened, but I could not keep my cakehole shut. Well, it was a first "binge" day in 10 days; I am really proud that I stayed OP for 10 consecutive days. AND back OP today. Calories are low plus I did 2 workouts today; first puppy and me walked 4.2 miles at 4.3 mph speed, I was so sweaty! Those hills are killers at that speed. Then this evening I hit the gym and lifted for 40 minutes and spent another 35 minutes on treadmill doing a power walk.
I also drowned myself in water to flush out all that bad stuff I consumed yesterday. Potty has been my best friend today
So it was a good day!!
I kinda stopped losing weight in March and have maintained ever since; I lost my mojo at that point. -- I feel like I found it again, and maybe I can stay focused long enough to finish this journey.
Tomorrow is my birthday It will be a challenge since I am seeing 3 sets of different people and it all involves food and alcohol. I am a little scared. -- I need to give myself a pass, and enjoy my day!
Sum, you've always been an inspiration to me! I enjoy the transparency in how you write about your struggles. Agonizing for you, I'm sure, but very helpful for those of us in same boat. I hear you about losing mojo. I lost mine about a year ago and can't seem to recapture it. I often think back to what I did that was so "special" last time that I was so focused and mindful about my eating and exercise. Honestly, at times it didn't feel like it was even work if you can believe it!
What a sweet thing to say curvynotlumpy!!! -- I so wish weight loss was linear.
Today is a GREAT day! First of all, it is my birthday, and I woke up really happy! Second; my scale gave me a fantastic birthday gift... all my bloat from my "binge" left and on top of that I lost another 1.2 pounds!
Scale won't be my friend tomorrow, since I have a full day of celebrations ahead of me. Lunch date, dinner out and later on at night drinks with friends. I am sure my calories in will be over 2000. But I am trying to be mindful. I will order a salad with grilled chicken or salmon for lunch. Filet for dinner, and limit myself to 2 vodka and tonics (or club soda and lime) tonight. -- All low carb.
I better get my butt off this couch and go for a walk. Trying to get atleast a little bit of exercise today.

Time for me to put up or shut up. Gotta write down as I eat and exercise more to have any success. I am worth it!
, Sum, from one November birthday girl (11th) to another! Who can complain about waking up happy and down another 1.2 lbs. right??!! At the same time, it sounds like you have an ideal plan to still celebrate your special day while minimizing the damage
SW: 193 GW: 183
11/13: 192.6
11/14: 192.4---well, I guess it is better than up
Happy Belated birthday to you curvynotlumpy I hope you had a nice birthday! Did you do anything special?
I feel like I am in control right now. I feel motivated and hopeful. -- I was a little scared of today, but then I said...it is my birthday, I deserve to celebrate it with loved ones and not let my diet come in a way. And it is only one day, tomorrow I will be back OP! And since I have Celiac, no cake for me Imagine all the calories I am saving there!
I had a nice long and fast walk this morning...ready to put my party hat (actually I wear a tiara... I really do ) on.
So I broke down and stepped on scale this morning. 143.6, up 1.2 pounds since Friday...actually I should be pretty happy with that number since I had a weekend filled of birthday celebrations. 1.2 pound "gain" is nothing. Hopefully I will have all the birthday bloat gone by tomorrow's weigh in And then off to losing actual weight for Friday's official weigh in. -- I wanted to get down to 140, but I really don't think that is realistic at this point.
I will keep up with my new exercise routine for the week, and keep eating low cal/low carb and see what Friday brings. -- TOM is due on Thursday, so "he" may hinder my progress this week a bit too. -- I hope I won't give in to the cravings. Last month was bad, I ate everything at sight
It will be a challenge since I am seeing 3 sets of different people and it all involves food and alcohol. I am a little scared. -- I need to give myself a pass, and enjoy my day!
