SHEs Organized

I made it... YIPPIE.
Finally in my 130's ... I've been hovering above 140 for days. Have those migraines didn't help. I stayed on my plan, didn't use being sick as an excuse to eat what I shouldn't and stayed focused.

Last night we went out to eat. This place has a huge bowl of peanuts in shells to eat while waiting for your food. This time I brought my own almonds to eat while Sweetie munched on peanuts. I always carry my own salad dressing these days.... Use a clean pill container to keep it in... When I know we are going out to eat. Last night I had a chicken fajatia salad. I ate half of it, plus I drank water with lemon instead of diet soda. Can't drink unsweetened tea cause it will keep me up at night.

When I got on the scale this morning I didn't believe what it said so I reweighed myself again

I am proud of me.

Okay.. Just stayed focused. I find the digital scale has become a great motivator for me. I count every tenth of a pound loss a victory...

Celebrating with COWINKIE!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thxs Okay...

Made Sweetie blueberry zucchini bread.. Tasted the batter, which is a bad habit of mine when I cooked and immediately stepped back from the bowl. Closed my eyes, took a deep breath and visualized this morning's number on the scale. It worked .. Then focused on the urges when I was going to eat the batter again.

By doing this, here's what I learned... I like my fingers when I spill batter on them or spoons or such and things get messy. Didn't realize that, so I made sure I rinsed my fingers or grabbed a dish cloth to wipe up the messes. That worked too.

Now if I can focus when cooking and remember that lol

Well I'm getting closer... I'm only .4 lb away from winning my two dietbets and have 7 more days to do it. I am more than excited to see this downward trend on my scale.

We walked doggies last night and then because there wasn't much on tv I climbed on my gazelle and did two miles.

I thought of you Okay and your comment abt getting on your treadmill before you went to bed. Figured if you can do it, so can I

Cowinkie, you are doing great!

Drs. office called this morning. Dr. has been sick this last week. They wanted me to see the nurse practitioner, but I declined since I have thoughts of dealing with another problem and finding out about that other stuff that I don't think a nurse practitioner can help me with. Last week when I went for lab work I popped into the office and had them order me another week of meds, for which I paid a premium, being that it was only 7 days' worth. So, again I'm out tomorrow and she is calling another week in.

I feel as though I'm just barely hanging on (mentally) waiting for this appointment, and this sure doesn't help. Well, putting this in the big basket I've labeled "another thing gone wrong". I don't blame the doctor. We can't help it when we get sick.

back from my walk today

oh big hugs Harmony... you sound like you could use a few

Walked 40 - 45 minutes at Wal-mart today.

Am sticking to my diet, am within my normal caloric range.

Am busy doing laundry & light housework, to get in more activity.

My diet will change, somewhat, after upcoming dental work.

(((Harmony))) Hang in there

I'm thrilled to be logging food again. It is empowering and energizing to actually follow through and **do it** instead of just wanting & wishing.

Scales are not going downward so I have adjusted the settings on MyFitnessPal website to not add calories earned from FitBit steps.

Keeping on....
