This group is for those dealing with the challenges of being fit when you have a significant amount of weight to lose which becomes harder after age 40. If you're an old or new friend and not over 40 and feel this is the place to post, jump right in.
Im here also...just working my tail off on the house and yard. Lots of great exercise minutes plus the joy of having a clean house and great looking yard. Today I tackle the weeds in the garden and count up tomatoes growing on my vines. I have the day off..election day in KY.
Food is going great!! Hope this continues! I had a 1lb loss for the week and i was thrilled with it after the woosh last week.
Heather- hang in there your almost done!!!
Carol- YOU CAN DO THIS...your a pro at this!! One bite at a time and think it thru...do you think your getting nervous about your trip? I know nerves can do a real number on me!!
Heather and Debbie - you are both so right - I need to be here even more while I'm struggling. Seems like I do fine all day - walk in the house at night and I lose my mind. Deb - I do think it's stress - the tree/pool incident and the trip. I realized today that a week from now we will be halfway through our journey boarding a ferry in Prince Rupert, BC. It's all pretty mind boggling to me. One of the great things is my nephew is Mr. Healthy and I want to set a good example too. I have committed to my exercise team at work one hour a day EVERY day while I'm gone - it will be good for me to move after sitting so long - not to mention the wonderful things I've never seen before.
Today is a new day - my goal is eat healthy all day (and night). Yesterday was good choices - just too many of them - saw a scary old habit return and need to kick it to the curb quickly.
For some reason I was starving yesterday. I still havent figured out what caused it. I started out adding extra protien in and then ended with a bowl of sugary cereal before bedtime. I also found myself looking at 100calorie packs of cookies.I opened one pack and ate a couple of cookies(tasteless) and then gave them to hubby. Today is a new day and I will be POP!!
Hi all. I'm in Ohio, so out of my usual rhythms. And especially finding eating right hard. I'm doing a good job with breakfast, but lunch and dinner aren't going so well. I'll keep trying. Tomorrow my goal is to have TWO healthy meals instead of one. (I only had one today.)
I've gotten some walks in the last two days, but not much before that. It's really hard not having a home base. I sleep in my mother's apartment, get up and go to the nursing home to see her, then I go off in search of wireless at the library or, if the library fails, at Starbucks or, even worse, McDonalds. Then back to the nursing home, then off for wireless again, then back to the apartment to sleep. It's annoying and lonely. But I have too much work to do, so I really need to find wireless between the nursing home visits.
Anyway, this is a bunch of whiny excuse-making. When I eat at McD's, I *could* get a grilled chicken sandwich and not eat the top half of the bun. But I haven't been doing that. So wireless is not an excuse for the way I've been eating at lunch and dinner.
