ok, looks like sleeping in kept my calories low at 1200. I'm not really hungry either. I've been cleaning and organizing and went outside to try to set up our splash pool, but darn hose needs o rings. ..and gah it's hot out there!!!
I'm going to attempt to do the 60s plank as soon as I post...
I'm going to throw in arms and legs with squat press workout...it's a little late but not too late. Usually if you have trouble falling asleep AND 3am is like a switch with falling asleep it's a sign your cortisol levels are out of whack AND dieting can also cause high cortisol levels. Deep brea thing exercises actually lower cortisol levels so I might try that after my small workout.
ok...I see they wouldn't make it...I used to have Asian lilies, hollyhocks, foxglove, and gladiolus in one bed with a hydrangea on the corner....people loved that bed...
all I have outside is struggling roses (black spot) also found webbing and sprayed for mites, freesia that has not bloomed, Asian tiger lilies, a Lantana that died (will that come back?) I had hydrangea that I was going to plant in a bed but when it went dormant somebody thought it was dead and threw it behind the bushes .
I have Dian thus and snapdragons but need to clean them up alot...I need to weed and remulch. Next week is supposed to be a little cooler and I may try..
Good evening....I was here awhile ago, and fell off the wagon. Going to try this again. Lost a little over 50 pounds, and I do credit this site for keeping me accountable. That 50 pounds has (all but a few pounds) reappeared. Glad to be back...will update stats tomorrow morning.
on track to weigh in close to the same as last week. I upped my daily points and fit points goal. Seems to have worked out.
Diana I noticed it looked different yesterday, but thought it was because I was using my phone. The older I get the more I love change, not haha.
syckgirlsfv I went back to weight watchers, well, I was probably going last time, but really started working the program and got back to goal. Now I am trying not to gain it back. Which is my normal pattern. I really like the new program, I found tracking, keeping a serving size of whatever I am eating in mind and using my food scale (especially for cheese, which I love) has worked great for me. I am also reading Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, which has me looking a little closer at ingredients.
Last night: Full Body Stretch (standing)
This morning: Oxycise
Calories for yesterday: 1545 +
Weigh In: 188.8
No Change
Have a Blessed day!
Today's devotion is very encouraging.
Copied from Crosswalk Devotions for Dieters
June 21
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.Barrie never felt good after stuffing himself. He felt weighted down and slow. He was grumpy and irritable. He usually felt sick. Still, when food was around, he couldn't help himself. Other people would watch him eat, and he could tell they thought it was a disgrace. What could he do? Nobody understood how hard it was for him. He wanted to lose weight and pass by second and third helpings, but he just didn't have the willpower. Too bad Barrie didn't have the support of good Christian friends and a commitment to sacrificing for God. With that kind of support, anyone can hope to lose weight. Today's thought: There's no reason for me to face my diet alone!
Good Morning 170.0 big bounce UP and not sure why . I have NO explanation. Well, moving forward.....
Meals are planned at 1208 calories with no room for chocolate. Did walk this am but only 3 miles. Got out too late but got good sleep.

Jendiet - I noticed the same thing about measurements. I imagine you are both bigger boned and more muscled than I am. Amazing. I did measure my "pooch" as part of my hips. If I go under it, they are 38" and my waist is, yes, at the bellybutton - I know technically it is higher up. I may try your deep breathing to see if it helps with sleep.
Kelijpa - nice to see how you are maintaining so well - In some regards I guess it can be more challenging than losing?
Sassypants - welcome back. I do find that even a week or two of lost accountability and things start slipping.

I didn't make it back on last night, but dinner was an Omaha burger patty and Taylor Farms Avocado Ranch salad. I did have some wine, too. BUT, I dropped another pound down to 159.6, so let's hope it sticks! I'm successfully eating the right things, anyway. Went shopping last night and got veggies and ground meat and stuff...and some things that are not on my diet for Vegas! Root veggie chips (not too bad) and some chex mix (cookies and cream). When I get home it's back to the plan so I feel like I will just do my best eating-wise while there but indulge on some things because, well, it's VEGAS!
Today: Breakfast - hard boiled egg, EAS 100% Whey protein shake
Lunch - Taylor Farms avocado ranch chopped salad, deli chicken breast
Snack - celery or cucumber slices...both, one or the other, or neither
Dinner - making a stir fry with broccoli slaw and ground turkey, green onions, herbs and spices, sesame oil
NO WINE. ha! Just studying tonight, supposed to hike after work tomorrow.
Good afternoon to all
WI still 168.0 no change for 3 days -- but then again no gain either. The gym's A/C is still out and yesterday saw temps in the low 90's so working out was brutal, I only managed 30 min elliptical, 13 stair master HIIT and 10 min of free weights. Calories 1800 a bit high for me carbs 35 and steps 11,000+ granny + Jen I think it is cool you both have put up your measurement, I will add mine soon --so many body types Syck 1 glass of wine is not a deal breaker, hows the studying going? Teri000 I so wish I had that green thumb, I have had to hire landscapers just to keep up with the yard work Kelijpa congrats on 141, one day I may be there Diana yes todays devotion was perfect ciecie how was you Dad the other day?
I have missed saying a big hello to all our new 'chicks' but I have read your posts..Elaine, sassypants, and I know I am forgetting some, if I have I am sorry
Nancy, that sounds brutal! So does 35 carbs and subjecting yourself to that. I am amazed by you.
grannan, yes, I think I'm a little bigger boned because of my neck circumference, which I hate, because I feel bull necked with wide shoulders, but I have kind of an hour glass figure. I keep hoping my neck will get thinner and my clavicle will pop out...I think that is so feminine.
something wrong with typing ....so I will add more later...
