I have been watching every bite I put in my mouth and I feel so FAT!! My clothes is getting looser. I don't have to "suck it in to get in my Jeans but the scale does not want to go down!!!
Feel better today I lost the 4 pounds and did really work hard all day yesterday in the yard so maybe just maybe I can loose some more. I will weigh in the AM and if I am up I QUIT!! If I am the same I will try a little harder!!
Thanks for listening. I will read the post and see what i missed!!!

I didnt even have to worry about eating out (which i was really looking forward to) but It really kept me on track.
I didnt work out all weekend but my body needed a rest and this morning I went to Zumba and worked it hard!
Feeling good :D looking forward to another great week :wink:

GrandmK, don't beat yourself up. I've lost only 11 pounds, but 2.5 inches, so it is working! Muscle weighs more than fat, but overall, the more muscle you have, the faster you will lose weight.

Good Morning All!
I did amazing on the water intake yesterday, so I'm proud of myself on that front. Did not attempt yoga like I'd planned. After climbing up and down the attic ladder, my knee decided to cop an attitude so I sat down at my sewing machine until the swelling went down. Bad idea, once I got to sewing, I didn't want to stop!
PurpleMom, I am normally not a slave to the numbers, in fact I hate stepping onto the scales. I like to base my health and exercise on how I feel. Although I know the scale says I've only lost 3lbs, I can "feel" it like it is more. For one thing, I think I lost it in my stomach, it doesn't seem to be as jiggly as last month! And, as I said yesterday, I feel better and have more energy.
Finally got a phone call through to my mom yesterday to wish her a belated Happy Mother's Day. Although my cousins are treating her like dirt, she's happy to be there to help my uncle with his ailing aunt.
Well, I'm off for my walk and hopefully my knee will stop being cranky, if not, I'll drag out the dreaded brace and still go on my walk. My plan for today is to gut my ex-sewing room to make room for beds for my nieces. I'll be picking them up in 17 days!

Good Morning everyone. Sounds like everybody has positive plans for the day, hope so anyway. I went and swam this morning which always makes me feel better. Gonna plant some flowers in a little bit and then work on my quilt.
I try not to weigh myself more than once a week because my weight does flucuat even if I'm careful about my food intake and my exercise.
Have a good day everyone, I'll check back later.

Okay here starts week 2. I did lose just less than 2 lbs so I'll try again. Hope it cools off here so I can go walking too.

Good day, all. Things are quiet on around here. The dogs are insisting on longer walks with the snow finally gone. Lily led us to the lake Sunday - usually she lets Moira choose where we go, but she claimed her senority that day. She has a thing for water gazing, though she won't go in. I was sitting there thinking I'd better get up and start home before my old body stiffens up - not cool when you're over a mile from home.
purplemen, MJ, Jumping jacks???? Those things are killers of ankles and knees on people in excellent shape. Are you sure there isn't something else to do? How about wall slides. Put your back against a wall with your feet out away from the wall and 'sit' down, then stand back up, all the time with your back agaist the wall. Do that five times. You can raise your arms out to chest level if you want to involve the arms. Before you say that's too easy, try it.
My weight is stuck again. I did better yesterday and the scales showed it this morning. I need to weigh myself every morning. Supper was yummy. Chicken sprinkled with garlic powder, chili powder and pepper and fried in a grill pan. The salad dressing was half mayo and half barbeque sauce, which normally I don't care for, but for this it worked. The base was bagged salad mix and grapes. I need to eat it more often if I'm going to make my two pounds this month.
Congratulations to all who are doing well. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
MJ, you are the same age as my oldest daughter. I must be the resident senior citizen here.

Everyone seems to be having bad weather except me! It was a nice 70 degrees yesterday and today will probably be the same. The problem is I am stuck in an office and then have a two hour commute home. I will go up and down the office stairs twice each time I use them. People think I have lost my mind when they see me go up the stairs, then turn around and go back down and then turn around and go back up.
You guys help me get through my days. thanks
