Down 0.8 today and that makes 11lbs so far -- could be faster, but it's not my first kick at the can, so I'll take it! I'm working on getting consistent, noticing what works and trying to replicate that.
I'm sorry about not doing a lot of personals. I am exhausted and hoping to get to bed early tonight.
It looks like I have started my TTOM. That may be why I am exhausted. I'm probably tired from all the storm stuff, too. I was hoping the whole TTOM thing was over with.
We had our ladies church meeting tonight. Instead of our usual meeting we walked through a neighborhood handing out fliers for our Revival at church.
Nancy Good luck with getting the crowns put in. I remember my DH's fell out around the same time as yours did. LOL

I had to write a college reference letter for a student today. I can write a good letter but it always gives me a little tension having to do it. After I was done I sat in my comfy chair with my memory foam neck pillow, cushions at my back and my feet up on some gel ice packs. I sat relaxing like this for about an hour and it was lovely!
B: one green banana, coffee with cream
L: spinach and arugula salad with green olives, walnuts, avocado, evoo and vinaigrette dressing

D: baked sweet potato with butter and iodized sea salt, two slices bacon
GettinFit hope your power comes back soon, didn't realize Atlanta was in such rough shape! You're doing great working your program under adversity!
Diana get rested, your post scared me a little, I had the worst time with it in July, I'm hoping since it was so bad, that's the end, but now that 2 months almost have gone by, I'm a little nervous about it just showing up one day. Hope all goes well for you. Holy moly, eight inches is a lot of rain!
Angie congrats on the loss, I went for a year losing slower, even gaining a little before some tweaks made it work a little better for me. Like you, not my first time, hopefully it will be my last time,tho, so really trying to concentrate on healthy habits that'll continue on after I get to goal.
Good Morning. Weight bounce up .2 to 243.8. Grrrr.
Had rough night last night stuck to plan. Will commit to plan today.
Feeling kind of down and overwhelmed with things.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt, .2% chocolate, peach, oatmeal
Lunch: Salad with Romaine, tuna, apples, green peppers, green onions, cucumbers, Walnut oil, Mustard sauce
Dinner: Stir fry with tofu, bok choy, celery, mushrooms and onions
Kelijpa I didn't have a sign that it was going to start. I had it last month for only a few days. It is completely different than it used to be.
Last night I added on: Full Body Stretch (standing)
Nothing for this morning, not feeling like a morning person, LOL
Calories for yesterday: 1540 +
Weigh In: 183.4 (TTOM)
No Change
Have a great day!

September 13
Isaiah 26:3
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Bud believed his doctor really did have his best interests in mind. Bud wouldn't have dieted if anyone else had told him he should, but his doctor carried a little more weight. Bud kept to the diet because he felt it was the right thing to do. Trust was a big factor in making everything work. Trust is a big factor in anything we try to do. Giants of the Christian faith were able to do such great things because they trusted that the Lord was with them. We, perhaps not giants of the faith, need to rest assured that we can trust God and that He will do everything He can to help us lose weight.
Today's thought: The only thing God will let down is my weight!
I did well yesterday - dinner was an organic Don Lee Farms veggie patty on a sandwich thin with tomato, mustard, and pickle. Had a few cocoa glazed almonds from Trader Joes and a string cheese, too. That was it. We walked around the neighborhood a little, but I'm sad to say that it was to put up Pawboost fliers for my missing kitty. He has been gone since Thursday night He is almost 16 years old, so we think maybe he went off and died. I hate losing pets.
I am down 1.4 today, which totally helps. Planned menu for today:
B - 4 ounces of slow cooked ham off the bone, 4 peanut butter pretzels from TJs
S - 5 prunes
L - salad: hearts of romaine, filet mignon (4 ounces?), beets, chunky blue cheese Bolt House Farms dressing
S - Oui lemon yogurt (if necessary...I didn't have my second snack of refrieds yesterday)
D - TBD
WI down a bit today so back at starting weight for the week 160.6, just can't seem to get past this and you all know how long I have hung out at 160ish. I was lazy this am and did not workout but I did get some housework down before leaving for the office.
Today I am not suppose to eat anything 'sticky' because of the new crown which is ok. I had eggs for breakfast and have salad planned for lunch dinner will be chicken thighs and something yet to be determined.
On September 23 my sister has talked me into signing up for a 2 hour zumba class....what was I thinking actually I am looking forward to as I have never done zumba so might as well give it a go
Back later tonight for personals. OH btw I am getting a new hairdo tonight so excited and a bit scared, cut and color hope DH likes it
Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a great day.
I'm down a bit more today. I find, as I always do when I'm dieting, that my mind is on food ALL THE TIME. What have I eaten, what will I eat next, if I change this I can have this..etc. I think I need to find a hobby to keep me a little busier and not so hyper focused on food.
Weigh in: 250.8 (-1.0)
Breakfast: Bulletproof coffee & bacon
Lunch: Chili
Dinner: Pork Chops and mashed cauliflower
Snack: Fatbomb (if needed)
Kelijpa - Thank you
Diana -- I can't wait for TTOM to be gone too. In the last year I've only had longer ones, but not missed any. I'm currently late, and thrilled to pieces about it...I hope it never comes back.
grannynancy -- I hope you are starting to feel better. Your menu today sounds so nice and tasty.
Syckgirlsfv -- Congratulations on your -1.4! I'm so sorry about your cat I hope he just took a mini vacation somewhere and will be home soon.
nancylmrn -- Good luck with your new hair style! I can't wait to hear how you and DH like it. Good job on your loss today.
Angie My Mom had stopped her by the time she was 40. I think I went as long as 4 or 5 months between and that was last year. I am really over the thing. Great job on the pound!

It's cooling down here, about 80 degrees today. After work I went and got a manicure. It looks great, except for my left thumb. I don't know why I'm always so klutzy after getting my nails done. I dinged my left thumb by brushing up against my right hand. Ahh, that's okay. I'll be getting my nails done again in about a week and a half. Nobody will notice my thumb.
B: coffee with MCT oil and cream, one slice of swiss cheese
L: spinach and arugula salad with avocado slices, walnuts, evoo and lemon dressing
S: Quest chocolate chunk power bar. carrots dipped in plain coconut yogurt.
D: pork chops and mushrooms cooked in evoo, cauliflower cooked in butter, millet simmered in vegetable broth, one glass of red wine
Good morning. Down .8 to 243.0 So far a little off track for 2lbs this week which is what I am hoping for. Feeling a bit better emotionally, not just the weight. Still a bit down.
Breakfast: Greek yogurt 8oz, blackberries 6 oz, dark chocolate .2 oz
Lunch: Romaine lettuce 4 oz, Tuna 4 oz, green peppers 1 oz, carrots 2 oz, Green onions 1 oz, cucumbers 2 oz
Dinner: Skipping because I will be doing dog training may come up with a legit snack of finger vegetables and humus that is balanced with plan
Proverbs 3:24
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Janice remembered long, sleepless nights where she tossed and turned, feeling guilty that she had cheated on her diet or merely crying because she was so enormous. Thank God those nights were long gone. Being fat was not just a physical trauma, but an emotional and mental one, as well. She never realized how much her peace of mind was dependent on her waistline until she took off the excess weight. Now, she had wonderful nights and wonderful days. Her life was transformed. God had been so good to her. She felt she'd been given a new life. This time, she was determined to take care of it.
Today's thought: Losing weight promises a new lease on life!
Good morning all! I am running a bit late....got up to WO but instead made for the first time paleo bagels they smell good but have not tried one yet. WI down today below 160 for what the um teenth time! cant seem to go below and stay below.
