Got in some exercise today, I think my food was good, hoping for a little drop tomorrow...we just watched a pretty bad movie called Preservation, not recommended... anyhow, finally got back to the yoga, have terrible DOMS from my little outside jog, hope that helps, DH and I did the rail trail tonight, luckily we were in between the rains. We had some lightning and thunder which Hunter did NOT like, but he's ok now, it was only for a little bit.
Hope everyone has a good night and great day tomorrow
Veil, good luck with the fitbit, I need to do some serious journaling/food logging...
I still haven't had much appetite.
Yesterday, I had maybe a half of a small bowl of tofu scramble for breakfast.
Lunch was soup and green beans. For dinner all I had was a banana, which left me at definitely under 1000 calories. I didn't work out and am not sure if I will have time today, which means that's almost a week without exercise- yikes! Tomorrow is my day off though (thank heavens!), so I should have plenty of time.
I'm super hungry now and will go get breakfast soon.
Also, I weighed in at 162 today!! So happy, especially since the past couple of weigh-ins had been up.
I'm off tomorrow because it's the last day of Pesah and the temple is closed
Last night we walked 4.25 miles, and tonight we are going to ride our bikes at least 20. I ended up making a dish with some organic pasta I got at Costco for dinner last night - pasta, cottage cheese, quesadilla cheese (shredded), rotel, and chicken breast...it was so good! We will have it again tonight after the bike ride. Also had fresh asparagus.
B - belvita
L - romaine lettuce/chicken breast/energy mix/bolt house farms blue cheese dressing
S - reduced fat triscuits and a baby bel light
D - last night's pasta/chicken/rotel/cheese casserole
I've been quiet this week. Some serious clouds moved in on Monday and it's been a rough week - one of the roughest I've had with my depression for a while. Barely functioning. So strange to come from such a great weekend with the grandkids and my daughter to deep despair the next day. Today I feel like the clouds are starting to clear and I don't feel so "heavy." I'm thankful that, for the most part, I recognize those days are related to my depression and will pass, eventually. I'm not sure what I would do if I felt like this (and how I felt the last 3 days), if I didn't recognize that it's the depression rearing it's ugly head. Looking forward to the end of the week. I'm "this close" to a new decade (230.8 this morning). Hopefully I'll see the 220s by the end of next week.

Hello everyone. I have been following this thread for awhile but this is my first post. As I am currently on Optifast prior to having a Lap Band removed i hope it is okay to join your thread. I would love somewhere I can frequently be in contact with people who are trying to stay on track.
Reading all the posts is truely inspiring.
I made it home aftet 24 hrs of subway, trains, planes and more trains. Food got way out of control the last few days. We got home to no groceries and I got jammies on and stuffed myself with microwaved potstickers from the freezer.
Now to white knuckle myself back on plan (still with no groceries). it is good to be back home and have my mason jar and glass straw for drinking water. Not going to weigh just yet since my legs are so swollen from the long flight.
I've enjoyed reading everyone's updates but too tired for many personals.
Madetothrive, sorry about the depression lately. Hopefully it is indeed clearing.
Diana, I hope your early day goes well and you can jump into a fantastic weekend.
Syckgirl, enjoy your extra day off and long weekend. It must have been such a relief to drop that class after realizing it was going to be too much.
Since it was late I didn't add on any extra yoga and I had done stretching yesterday after my workout. Too early this morning for Oxycise or anything for that matter.
Calories for yesterday: 1585 +
Weigh In: 173.8
No Change
CoolMom Welcome back. I know you are glad to be home. It's fun getting away but even better getting back home. Good luck jumping back on the wagon.
Jen Welcome to the check-in. Did you have complications from the Lap Band?
Syckgirlsfv I hear you! Rest well and enjoy your day!
I got to sleep until 8:30 that is huge for me. I'm just having coffee right now and relaxing, and then we'll get my cat to the vet. I hope she doesn't have cancer she is 11, and she isn't as close to us as the others because she's just a weird cat! But since she's getting older and we moved here, she has gotten mellow and she's changed so much - plus she is very close to one of our boy cats. They really love each other and are always curled up together.
I'm not sure what kind of food the day will bring, but I have a groupon for pizza and it expires on the 16th so we might use that. I ditched another 1/2 pound of water, so I have 1 more to go from last week but really need to lose 3 more pounds to be back to my low. I gotta hit the 140s!!! Vegas is coming up! I have 2 months to do it...I just have to behave myself!
I have been feeling rough today. I think it's from hormonal fluctuations. TTOM should be starting soon. We'll see.
Kelijpa Good job to your DH for sticking with the healthy lifestyle. Have you started your garden yet? What are you planting this year? Any new experimental veggies?
Syckgirlsfv I hope everything is OK with your cat.
