WebWoman I really like that spring chicken greeting! : ) speaking of spring, can't wait for it! WTG on losing that gain and also on your workouts!
I had a really nice time at the friends house, thanks for asking. It was a real treat and lovely company and we only had to go across the street! lol
lurchmomma about the marathon, I know, I realized it after!
smiling here! It was weird, it just popped in my head out of the blue. Oh well, glad something is still working right upstairs! lol I hope you had a good marathon and a great start to your vaca today! : )
Saturday night with the friends was great, thanks for asking. They cooked a delicious OP meal, they had chicken and steak-tips, with grilled zucchini and onion, steamed broccoli, couscous (I just had a bit of that) and bread which we skipped. That lemon pepper chicken (which I had) was sooooo good! He cooked it perfectly too and they cooked on the grill! They got it at butcher boy, I like to take a ride over there some day down the road and check it out. Sunday was a non eventful day and I ended up having a mashed potato thing later in the evening (that was not OP). I felt kind of lousy this morning but decided to just focus on the day today. I like your mentality and view of the journey. I really feel the same way, I do have plenty to lose though and like to see the numbers going down but health is my primary concern and fitness too of course! It increases quality of life.
I am trying hard not to focus on the numbers too much as I have done in the past, I just don't want to get caught into that trap again as I had before. I am working to eat healthy and follow my plans and yes indeed, just as you said, the pounds get lost as a result! In all fairness though, I am sure I will have my share of frustrations when I plateu or the scale stops moving, which I will have to fight off. Do you think maybe you hit a plateu? Although it sounds like you know what it is that maybe affected you and already have your plan in place which is great! I am not knowledgeable enough about macro's to say but I totally agree with what you said about not all calories being the same! With me, it makes a big difference what I eat! Too many carbs always affected me. Oh that dreamboard,
grannyputtputt recommended that to me here, I thought it was a neat idea too!
Okay, I surely can type, are you gals ever going to ask me any more questions?
hope so! smile. A big hello to everyone else and all of you. I hope that you are all well.
I have a very busy day tomorrow and must be up quite early so I will get to bed early. No exercise Sunday and today. After tomorrow, I will be back at it. Hope you all have a great night.
