Lily--Congrats on the new grandbaby!
Alinnell--Good job on the food choices.
For me, this has been a tough week. I tried my strict eating plan for 2 days, lost 3 lbs, but 2 days later, I have now regained 2 of the 3 lbs though I have been eating on my weight loss plan and not cheating. I just keep telling myself that my body needs to realize I mean business. This weight is going to go away. I'll stick with it. I still want to lose 10 more lbs at least. Just wish it would come off as easily as it seems to be gained! Oddly, though I'm not losing, I am H-U-N-G-R-Y!!! To me, that means my body should soon realize that it's time to lose and go with me on that idea.
On a good note, today I had a good workout. I was bored doing the usual weight lifting, so I thought about one of the older women I had seen using one of the older type leg machines at the fitness center. Decided I'd give it a try. It was great! I used it to do inner and outer thigh and glute. I felt each lift. I really feel like that machine could make a difference, so you can bet I'll be using it several times a week. I also did 45 minutes of cardio, so I'm feeling better about my work out, at least for today.
I also wanted to eat out at Wendy's today with my sons, but I told my oldest that in order to have a free lunch, he had to walk with me to and from Wendy's--about 1.5 miles. It worked. They each had tons of food while I had a large chili and was just as happy about that as they were with their choices. Tonight, I tried 3 different types of chicken spices and grilled all my chicken. It was a really good choice--tasted great.
Hope you each have a wonderful mother's day! and a great weekend full of healthy choices!
