Yeah! for you. I have had so many parties that I haven't weighed for a few days but I have also gotten some great workouts in this week. It is nice to be a little sore and remember that you did something good for yourself to cause it. I took the day off of exercise but I will be back at it tomorrow.

I'm back on track. I got on the scales today. Did not lose anymore weight, but I also didn't gain any over the holidays. WooHoo!
I'm up to 25 minutes on the treadmill, along with some stretching exercises. It feels good to be back.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I cannot master those things that I have not tried.

Okay where is everyone? Front and center ladies, we are going for a walk! Or at least we need to!
I am so far off track, I can't even see the track. Eating is going pretty well but can't find time in my life to exercise at all it seems. Show season has started and my etsy shop is booming with weddings, I do a market every friday now as well. Auction on monday and saturday nights. Plus all the chores and regular stuff with garden season rolling in soon. It is a good thing I can count garden and yard work as exercise!!
How about the rest of you?

Getting back on track with my healthy eating. It's always much easier in the summer with all the fresh fruits and veggies available. Need to get back in the groove of walking. Glad that I live in a two story because I do a lot of up and down stairs!

Just found out that I have high cholesterol and have a choice between trying to control it with meds or getting back to losing weight and getting exercise. I HATE meds, many I have taken have given me nasty side effects. I'm hoping there will be an opportunity to encourage each other here. I do know that drinking more water makes a difference for me on the weight loss, so that big on my list. I usually lose some weight each summer with garden work, so that is a plus for this time of year.

Hi Susan, I have to back in the habit of drinking more water too. I know it is a big help when I am trying to trim down. Need to get out there at the clothesline now that it is nice again. Seems when I think I am going to get a plan life starts to really start hopping and I can't stick to it. Trying to this time though. Maybe we can keep this thread up to date so I am reminded for accountability.

Good luck everyone. There are so many reasons to exercise and eat right. I do agree that the accountability of this thread is helpful. I am much more active in the garden now, but I need to do my physical therapy exercises to keep my core strength up. Sigh. I'd rather just garden!

I have to carry a fitbit with me now, and yesterday I logged over 12,000 steps with garden work. I was so tired, but felt good I got some exercise.
(The fitbit is part of our health insurance "staywell" program to earn points to keep our insurance with Hubby's work)
Today, I have more gardening to do. I do take a very large mug out with me, filled with ice water. I too, have been trying to keep water in me. When I get busy, I just forget.

Kristina, good for you. The fitbit must make you proud of all your movement! Let me give you another big pat on the back. Plus gardening is good for the soul. Keep at it!

Thanks Marianne,
Yesterday's steps only got up to about 9,000, even with garden work. I was so tired too. Too tired to walk on the treadmill. I did manage to get crock pot lasagna made, using up some ricotta I had made. It had spinach vs. meat in it too. I did have a healthy breakfast too. I picked fresh asparagus from our garden, then cooked that up with green peppers and onions and eggs. Then had a banana too. I'm just not getting my cardio, and way too tired to do it. I know that planting season will pass, so I am going to try to do at least 10 minutes of treadmill each day to keep the routine.

I'm getting on the treadmill right after this last batch of zucchini muffins are done. I spent the morning in the flower beds and garden, then came in to do all the dishes, and laundry (which add up my steps fast), then it's back to work, and so forth.
It's noon and I logged about 4,300 steps so far. I still need to lift weights today.
Last night I made a tortilla burrito that is filled with chunks of organic chicken, baked black beans and onions (from dry), then a layer of home canned salsa mixed with organic avocado. Mmmm! Fruit was pineapple.
Today, I need to up my water, fruit and veggies. So I made up a big salad for the week, adding fresh green onions from the garden. Then, I have extra fruits like bananas, apples, and such.
Late night munching is my downfall.

I seem to have hit a plateau. I need something to jump start the weight loss again. Have been doing ok I do need to get more walking in. I upped my water intake which has helped a bit.
Working outside as much as I can while the weather is nice and the warmth bearable.

Well my weight loss and exercise journey got jump started by a diagnosis of lupus recently. I HAVE to take better care of myself now, I don't have a choice. I cut out all sugar, starchy foods, no fried food, no fast food and lots of fresh veggies/fruits, drinking lots of water, occasional unsweet tea. I finally broke the diet soda habit, I had one the other day and it tasted awful, can't believe I drank so much of that stuff! It's been over a month now and have dropped 20pounds but much more to go, hope I can hang in there and keep it up. My biggest challenge is moving and exercising, hard to do when you're fatigued and in pain. I don't want to give up and inspirational you-tube videos are very helpful.

I've decided to start working on my Let's Get Physical merit badge today and gain some energy by losing weight and getting fit. My summer is dedicated to Me and my wellness. Getting through all the levels of this badge is a commitment of four months, so I'll be around this thread for awhile. :)
