April 2025 - Daily Accountability/Lifestyle Change - Everyone Welcome!
Hi, Everyone! Welcome to the Check-In! Let's make it a great month!
I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.
Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.
Thanks for getting the April thread started. Will be shutting down in a few minutes to go to bed. Have to get up early. Have to go to the dentist. 😁🐇😷✝️
Happy April
Lost 2 lbs last wk
Swimming, 1 hour
I went to Sam's club cafe for lunch. $2.50 for pizza and drink combo. Can't beat the price
I'm tracking calories through AI-powered food logging. It comes with my smartwatch App. Just snap a photo and done. super cool!
March 1 I was at 203.2, now I'm at 203.8 so I'm up .6. I have basically maintained for a couple of months. That's very good for me. I have had a lot of emotional stuff going on with my old church. I am at a new church but the old church has needed help with accounting stuff and they have been calling me with questions. I am answering the questions and trying to help, which is the right thing to do but it has taken an emotional toll on me, too. It probably wouldn't bother anyone else, but everything seems to bother me these days, LOL. This too shall pass. LOL
Steps from yesterday: 5,123
Have a Blessed day!
April 1
James 1:4
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a magic wand that we could wave, and suddenly the pounds would melt from our flesh and we would be the perfect weight? I know of no one who would choose the rigors and demands of a diet over a magic wand. Unfortunately, there are no magic wands, and the only way we can lose weight is to set ourselves to the task-body, mind, and spirit. We need to ask God's help, that we might remain committed to the task no matter how long it takes. When we call on the Lord, He will grant us the patience we so badly need.
Today's thought: The longer the wait, the less the weight!
Diana I'm sorry you are still dealing with things from your old church. I pray that it will get better. Also thanks for starting our new thread for April.
Yangzter yeah for losing 2 pounds for March.
Hellos to jendiet and Ciecie.
I've been to the Recplex both Monday an today and rode the newer Nustep for 40 minutes each day. Can't say that my food intake is better after baking a German chocolate cake. But I've been logging my food even the cake
A couple weeks ago I decided I couldn't deal with the church stuff and said that I couldn't help anymore. I advised them who to call, it's the person/company who I worked with to set up the accounting system. Keep in mind that I truly tried to help them. One day I was told that I couldn't come to the church to office work, literally the next day I could. It's been crazy. This was my church family for 10+ years. Last night the lady texted me to see how I was doing. I thought that was really strange to do that out of the blue. I told her that I was well and asked how she was. She mentioned about all the office work that needed to be done today and about the lady from the merging church who was helping. I just gave her a thumbs up and didn't think anything else about it. This morning she called twice trying to figure things out. I'm sitting there trying to explain every step of the process to her. After I got off the phone the last time my mind went back to her text last night. She was reaching out to me to not because she cared how I was, it was to see if we were on good terms. I decided to block her to get my sanity back. I realized, didn't I tell them who to call to help? I didn't make this situation this way, they did. It's still confusing about why everyone turned weird and crazy like that. But it is what it is, I guess. I just need some calm. I left because of the craziness. I have been gone and I'm still dealing with craziness. It's funny, as soon as I blocked her I calmed right down and felt better. That's no coincidence.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
It seemed like forever before any weight came off. Gerri had cut way back on her food intake and exercised daily. It had been frustrating to step up on the scales day after day to find no real change. She stuck with the diet despite her despair, and now four weeks into the program it was paying off. People were beginning to notice the difference in her. What had seemed so painfully slow, one pound every few days, had finally added up, and she was thrilled. Waiting a little while had paid off, waiting a little more didn't seem nearly as hard.
Today's thought: I can take this diet one day at a time!
