Took in 1200 calories yesterday so I'm happy with that. Still not doing so well on exercise. Pure laziness. I need Will be taking my parents to doctors appointments in another city a few hours away so will not exercise much today, except for getting a little walking in.
Today's goals: a little walking, 2 liters water, 1200 calories, and some fiber.
Good Morning - just checking in as I am leaving again tomorrow evening for my last vacation time, this one with Beau for a water cadaver seminar. That is assuming DH's stress test on Wed morning does not change my plans. But it could. He has been having some strange symptoms and the doctor wants to follow up.
Spring break with grandkids was great but I fell off the rails and and now up to 138.4 and back on my weight loss plan. Today is planned and 1108 calories, BP is 119/79. Hope to get in at least 12,000 steps. Work is very very busy trying to cram a lot into M,W,F in addition to trip recovery
I just had a terrible time with eating in the car (a lot of driving) and giving in to what we wound up eating out. We did get the girls to try Indian food (we are working on expanding their palates) - The high point was swimming with horses in Tampa bay. We had two days of shelling on the beach but the shells were most disappointing...Sanibel is supposed to be the best site in the US but, apparently, red tides from a few years ago resulted in the death of many species. We did score 40 dead sea urchins I need to de-spine. Silver Springs was also very good and we got to see a manatee. One of the changes now is that a lawsuit allows people to ride their personal boats all the way up into the park ... with their gasoline engines . We are, however, looking at being able to get a rack to load our kayaks and do some FL kayaking when I retire. .We also had great fun at things like putt putt and (haha) walking through a malll for 2 hours when the big storm came through .....we were headed back home but took a detour to avoid driving in torrential rain.
Will catch up on the many personals today and hope to respond tomorrow.

I don't want to be a slave to food, fat, bad choices, etc!

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Patience gained during the diet is something well worth holding onto after the diet ends. How many people have lamented that they lost weight only to gain it back again. It is so silly to allow such a thing to happen. We struggle so hard to take weight off; why would we ever let it find a home on us again? Dieting frees us from the imprisonment of a fleshy jail. Once free from that, we should never return. Ask the Lord for strength and determination, so that once we liberate ourselves from fat, we may not be taken prisoner again!
Today's thought: I will not stand for slavery to flesh and fat!
Good morning just a quick fly by and hope to be back later
WI up again 157.0 and weigh in is tomorrow....the best I can hope for is no more than this 1.2lb gain from last week....this is just a mystery for me. I have been under points (average 18 out of 23) and still pushing hard on the workouts. I am no longer sore like I was last week when I started to run/jog.
WO today....small nsv out of my 30 min cardio I ran first 3 min then 5 then 7 so feeling good about that....the 10 min mark is just around the corner. It is not the legs that give out but I get nervous and breath too fast so I am working on that.
I do like the saying though, Sweat is your fat crying! Have you made you fat cry today????
Not happy with myself after eating way too much yesterday. My mind and body is so deceitful. This morning at 7 my stomach started growling and felt hungry. This was false signals and not accurate. I have no idea why this happens but I ignored it and it stopped. I really hate that I go back to those old ways when I face holidays, events, etc. Most of you are not familiar with the period of that I thought I had a food allergy. It was so much easier then. I am thinking I need to gear myself back up like that, in some way. What is the difference between an allergy situation and a food addiction? There isn't much difference in the end result. Eating foods you are allergic to results in being sick. Overeating due to food addiction results in being sick (just unhealthy not literally sick from vomiting).
I bought a new daily devotional and I am going to start on that.
Last night: Full body stretch and some exercises from the Dr.

Today's devotion really spoke to me. I don't want to be so wound up with food all the time.

Matthew 6:25
'Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?'
When I began to diet, I realized how much of my time was spent with something to eat or drink in my hands. Before the diet, I had something in one hand or the other almost all the time. I used to spend a lot of time thinking about where I would eat, what I would eat, and how much I would eat. Food was an idol in my life. How foolish it is to live like that! There are so many things in life that are more important. Spend time in prayer and contemplation, asking the Lord to open the eyes of your heart to all the wonderful things you have missed for so long.
Today's thought: I want my life to be much more than food and drink!
Good morning Diane: I do love your devotional. you are normal your body Is not deceitful, What it desires, now that is another story, in class we reflected on eating more, more volume, 1/4 of your plate protien and carbs.3/4 on fries and vegetables. But to eat more when hungry that is my goal this week.
Good blues you.
down to 162.2 this morning...so down .4. whatever! Slooooooooooow...
We did walk 3 miles last night and I had some grilled salmon and steamed broccoli for dinner. Had a few mixed nuts, too. I found out I have to take 3 units in ethics before they give me my CPA license! REALLY? My coworker had to do it, too, because they changed that requirement in 2017. In the process of signing up for a 9 week class right now. BOO!

10:30 am - small piece of ham, hard boiled egg, steamed broccoli
1:00 p - 1/2 grilled chicken kabob w/peppers, green beans
snack sometime before dinner - cinnamon almond butter
