Well, today was Monday with a capital M. I flipped out early, but managed not to actually commit bodily harm to anyone. And I worked on breathing, venting/moving on, and letting it go.

I suck at letting it go, by the way.

I didn’t get lunch until 1 and then didn’t really eat it until 3. But, I did have my snack, and I arranged for a real salad w…[Read more]

And I guess I’ll gear up to start on the 5K plan!

(as in, go to the gym… so my car doesn’t freak out when I go there again)

week end check-in:

logged all week. didn’t overeat with my parents.

got to 70 oz every day except today, but I haven’t gone to bed yet.

i think it was fat that killed my GMI, but I kept an eye on what i was doing and listened more to my body.

didn’t make it to the gym. regroup for this week is in the plan (will post a new plan elsewhere).

did…[Read more]

hitting the water. check.

walked from the airport to the car. sweaty check.

gym? unless I go this weekend, nope. Post-vacation is so unfair.

My GMI was ok, and then I went off the rails last night. I fixed it today. Fixed meaning I ate better and made better choices. I wasn’t logging before this exercise and didn’t realize how bad some of my…[Read more]

My check in is this:  I was gentle towards the end of the week. I tried to have a good week and it didn’t feel that way but I’m on vacation right now (came to SC yesterday and am with my parents – see my FB pic/post of our sunset boat ride on their “big water” yesterday).

Rocked the water through yesterday. Walked outside a few times, but…[Read more]

I knew you were going to do the sweep, so I anticipated it. I didn’t do daily check ins, but I’ve turned the corner from the sobbing mess of Tuesday and the stressed to the point of vomiting Wednesday, and I figured I should do my thing.

Thanks for the compliment!

Yay, Bariatric Foodie suggestions on Good Measures. Today, before I changed, it…[Read more]

Good luck! You got this. You’ve got a host of Foodies behind you!!

Mid-week check in.

I’m still alive.

Salad for lunch and for dinner. I’m currently “under” calories, and in need of sweet. So, off to the freezer. And I asked my Good Measures lady to increase my water daily goal to 70, so it’s official.

Walked outside yesterday at golf.

Logging faithfully (even the mint after lunch!)

Down to caffeine only…[Read more]

Kill it. It’s just orange bars at the bottom taking up room.

I’d like to say that I started walking the 5k’s prior to surgery, and I only sign up for fun ones. Last year me and 3 friends signed up for “Run the Year” where we logged our steps (intentional, for the most part) as miles, and then worked to get to 2016 miles as the team. We did it. I have the medal to show for it! That was fun. So the virtual…[Read more]

Someone scan me this worksheet. Sounds like something I need to have tattooed where I can see it!

Go ahead, say “I told you so”

Well, let’s see. It’s only Tuesday and I’ve sobbed several hours today. I was off site all day for a golf event that I didn’t want to be at, but I’m on the board of the professional society that was hosting (I don’t even golf). So, I worked in the lull.

The two guys who are leaving my “team” (I’m the smelly cheese who stands alone. I say that…[Read more]

Congrats !! Promotion is good. .

Sad about money.

Excellent attitude.

Good luck getting organized. We missed you and your notebook 🙂

Took the walk, met the water, logged, hit the grocery store,

kind of scary how this planning works? Lol

I made it through this difficult week! I made big $$ / big risk decisions at work, and had to accept the resignation of my right hand guy.

I ate pretty well, and I’ve been logging diligently and I’ve exceeded 64oz of water every day. woo hoo.

Big boss was here, so lunch was brought in a few days – today I did the best, taking my sandwich apart and making it the top of the salad to get the protein. Doing the food logging (even the beer from last night!). We went to the mall, left the car in the lot and walked to the dinner, then walked back. A good walk, and I crossed the 10,000 steps…[Read more]
