Good evening! Did 2 miles Leslie Sansone before I left for work this morning. Power walked and ran errands before I punched in. Will power walk to supper in a few minutes. 😷🍀😁❤️
I updated my signature for Sept 1st. I'm up a little. The past 3 weeks have been not great, but I'm hanging on a little. I'm feeling the Covid rebound anxiety and general anxiety around my 35th birthday. My birthday is now behind me and I'm adjusting emotionally to the fact that Covid will be around for awhile.
I'm feeling the "new year" feeling of the start of September and ready to keep moving forward. Slow and uneven progress is still progress.
I am having internet problems again. A tech is suppose to be here tomorrow. I ate a bit off plan today. I ate with a group and the calories ended up being a bit higher. Calories approx 2000 and 1 hour outdoor walk
Tealer, Covid anxiety sucks! My little guy is starting kindergarten and I'm super nervous.
Diana, hope your internet gets sorted.
I tried another barre video today and am pretty sore, but feels good. I borrowed several books from the library on emotional eating. I know eating when I'm bored, stressed, or tired is my biggest downfall but haven't been able to get a grip on it yet. Hoping for some a-ha moments and help from the books.
2nd day of tracking my calories on Cronometer. I have a long way to go just to get down to my calorie goal (1700 to start). Baby steps?
Tealer, so good to see you! Glad you posted! Hang in there with us!!
AuspiciousOtter, so good to have you with us. Sounds like you are off to a good start! Your books sound interesting.
Teri, I'd say that your junk food and Y visit probably balance out! I still say kudos to you .
I took in 1350 calories yesterday. I tried the treadmill . Looks like that will be my main form of exercise now along with my post-op exercises. So glad I can do the treadmill again!!! It's been a long time!!!
Matthew 7:7-8
'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.'
Barry never really believed that he'd lose weight. That was probably his problem. His heart was never in it. Whenever he got the least bit discouraged, he'd immediately give up. His friends tried to offer support, but Barry always came up with excuses why he should give up his diet. If we want to lose weight, we need to believe in ourselves. Self-doubt is a killer. If we lack faith in ourselves, then perhaps we can overcome it by the faith we have in God. God can fill us with a self-assurance that allows us to do almost anything we set our minds to. Push aside doubt. Be filled with the confidence of God.
Today's thought: With God's help, I'll knock off a few pounds!
Good morning again! Had breakfast. Did some things that needed to be done here at home. Will go for a power walk and run errands in a few minutes. 😁🍀😷❤️
Rachel: I like your optimism. Some friends told me about a different way to play Scrabble. When it is your turn, you can change one letter of one word (as long as it makes a word) when you make your word...I don't know how they do scoring.
Tealer: Welcome back. I do think certain months are more auspicious for starting diets...Happy Belated Birthday!
Diana: Hope there is no hitch in getting your glitch fixed....
I am just trying to get stuff done for the next week or two. I filled a bushel with weeds this am. I watered plants. I punched holes in bigger pots for my primroses last night. I am working on the laundry. I picked up a DVD from the library. I am not moving fast, but I am getting stuff done. Oh, I wrote out a ToDo list, too.
Some of the stuff I do is kind of like yoga. Like when you weed, you are always getting up and down. And it is really difficult at the beginning of the season.
Oh, I watched a Netflix show called The Chair. It is about an Asian woman who is chosen to be head of the department of English at a small college. She faces many challenges because of declining enrollment in English classes, political correctness, aging faculty with low student enrollment, etc. I hope that it will be renewed for another season.
I appreciate the support everyone. It wasn't an off plan disaster, but eating was less than ideal over the past few weeks. I set some very modest and realistic goals for the last 17 weeks of the year. I need to make some progress.
I drank some beer watching college football today, but am otherwise getting the most out of this long weekend. I have my meal plan for the week and will go food shopping tomorrow. Back at it.
Good evening! Power walked to and home from church tonight. Ran errands on the way home. Came home and had supper. Also ordered a new cell phone this afternoon. Found out that there are going to be network changes made and that I’ll need a new phone. It should get here by Friday. 😁🍀😷❤️
