  • Looks like my calories were too high yesterday - each bite is recorded which is the biggest part of this for me to keep my focus. Also got an hour in the pool yesterday - heading there again this morning.
  • Stayed dry yesterday - ate within my calories and exercised. This morning me and my roommates went and hiked the Hollywood sign trail at Griffith Park in LA. All I can say is I made it to the top. It was really hard, though. At first I tried to stay at their pace, and finally just let them go ahead. I pushed myself and made it, which I'm proud of - while at the same time pissed that it was so difficult for me. It was a good motivator in that I want to be in better shape for that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure like 300 old women and children passed me.

    On the plus side, it will never be that hard again! It also had spectacular views and was a great way to start my weekend. My feet and quads are a little sore (it was basically winding up a mountain), but I'm alive.
  • SPLASH!!!

    Please get me dry towels. I carbed out and I feel like a beached whale. I stayed w/i my WW points but no dairy and only a bit of protein. I did eat my veggies and fruit. Think I'll sleep off the carbs and pick up my oars in the morning.
  • I had a good day today. We went out for mexican.I only ate 10 chips with salsa. I consider that a success, I ate my meal with a fork a avoided the chips on my plate. I also did my minitramp.
  • another POP day
  • Towels for Judy!!!! Get dried off and back in the boat!!

    Another POP eating day. I thought I might stumble when I ate a bigger lunch than I'd planned, but pulled it together for the rest of the day.
  • Judy - drier just buzzed - towels are warm and fluffy - grab one!

    Bridget - what a wonderful hike - might put that on my bucket list.

    No one else showed up for water class this morning so I got 70 minutes of personal training. Not often I sweat in the water.

    POP today - tomorrow there is a firm plan in place for the super bowl which includes no snacks.
  • I'm seriously lucky that I don't care for the Super Bowl, because snacks at sports parties are a huge huge huge weakness of mine.

    Was definitely in the water Friday thanks to a sinus infection (ate more, lots of sodium and no exercise) but Saturday I felt a lot better and was back OP.
  • Weekend is over! Within calorie range today but lots of sodium - I see lots of water in tomorrow's crystal ball.
  • Thanks for the towels!

    I'm back in the boat and (wo)maning my oars.
    W/i my pts. Got in my dairy and lowered my carbs.
  • Fell in after j-ann yesterday. Waaaay over calorie limits - stupid brain misremembered an entire 500 cal. Today has been way better and under calories. Got taxes done today too. TOM is ticking me off, but I'm doing my best to function despite him.

    Hugs,
    Ratkity
  • I came in a bit over calories today.
  • POP today. It's a new week, let's stay dry. Jump back in, Deb!
  • Weigh in today recorded a 4.2 lb. loss but I have definitely been treading water at times. My lack of exercise is noticeable as I don't feel as much energy. I need to work on that even if it means a walk everyday - got to do something!
  • Definitely got wet yesterday. Not badly, but just ate too much at dinner. I need a few "low" days to get back on track.
