Om gosh. I weighed again today. 154.8 to 154.4. There’s my bod holding on like grim death to this weight. Careful today, or sort of. I did have stroganoff this evening, but I put it on lettuce. Not bad actually. I think I will buy french green beans from now on for my spaghetti. I like spaghetti squash too. Wish me luck on tomorrow’s scale check. I think I’ll go log my food. Great on fluid today though.
Another poster just reminded me about the jiggle affect, which I had forgotten.

I am going to focus on this today and try to remember, even while sitting, to have small movements.
| Sorry have been a bad buddy. I am back on the wagon again eating well after a terrible diet weekend. The plus side is that I dropped back to 155 in 3 days. The minus is that I haven’t lost any more. Today was supposed to be a gym day, but the rec is closed and I am such a lazy bum. I will walk the dog longer, but that is about it. I snacked on 3 lettuce wraps with roasted chicken an a skiff of mayo. Now I am eating zucchini, and summer squash for my complex carbs. What I wouldn’t give for bread. :o( Joined wildcats for more consistant support. Hope that will inspire me. weigh in Sunday. Wish me luck. yarrow |
As I type this morning I find that I am tired having stayed up ridiculously late serving beer to pregame bronco fans and cowboy fans. Our high school marching band staffs several concession stands at Invesco field. We get part of the take. Every year we make about 30000-40000 dollars doing this and I think it beats selling candy door to door. Not a drinker myself, but I pour a great beer.
My mom is a closet alcoholic although more people know about it and have discussed it with her in recent years. After a real scare and 1 month in the hospital in 2007, due to a bad mixture of booze and meds. She is now not drinking at all. I believe it was what you would call her “bottom”. It really is a nasty, sneaky, mean disease.
Anyway, I don’t drink. Personal choice, clearly. Yesterday we worked 3pm- 10pm. Long day, one break, bad for you food and now it is blessed Sunday and I can get back on the diet boat. Sadly the slow boat. Blood donation at church today. Don’t know if I am hydrated enough.
I am up in weight, salt probably from junky food. I will log my intake today. Good luck to all of you today.

I am back at work and so my activity level went through the roof. I walk a ton at work as an Educational assistant. With lunch duty and recess twice a day. I walk all over the playground. Plus the Kindie classroom is totally isolated from everything else and at the end of the building so it’s a long way back to the workroom. I live so far from town that I had a hard time jusifying my Rec. membership, with gas so high. Now that I need to go to work in town, I can easily add a workout to the end of the day. My leg muscles are really sore……….. but in a good way.
Still at 155, but the activity should help with that. Low carbing again today. Just not super low. I am having a salad with peach/cucumber salsa, and some watermelon. I’ll add cheese and glazed pecans to the top.
Have a productive day.

I am looking for a team that has lots of older gals. I’m 52, we ancient ones have our skewed metabolism to deal with, and life issues. What is the AVERAGE age of these teams?

Maybe even the exercise will work out, if I am not too tired after work. Quoting the Beatles…. “It’s just another day”.
Talked to my son yesterday. He was receptive. I asked him to leave our home 2 1/2 days ago. Ugly story. I hoped he would meet with me and found out that he would. I bought him a sandwich and soda. He hadn’t eaten all day. He is now enormously aware of exactly how much money and goods he has in the world. We removed all financial support, including that for college. He will need to work for now. It was astounding how much thinking he had done in 2 days. I said we were willing to help him with college someday, but not now. This semester is off the table.
My husband paid entirely for his own education and I paid for only a small portion of mine. I paid for my second oldest daughters based on grade proration, and she worked so hard. She graduated in the spring. I am proud of her. The oldest had a full ride scholarship and banged out a bachelor’s and master’s in 4 years, so she earned her way. I am pleased with her work and not so pleased with her moral choices. She shows such immaturity there. Most people here would argue those, I am sure, but I have very high expectations.
Anyway he plowed through all the stages
as far as I can tell in 2 days. He appears to be at an unhappy acceptance. He is making plans to talk to the university monday morning and look for a job on the two days he has off next week from his summer work. Next friday we take back the use of our car, but he has one month’s rent (we had already paid because he was going to school : ( ), one week’s work money and some change from his summer work, and the town he is moving to is the college town. He is familiar with the town and it is very bike friendly as well as having a good bus system. He is able to work any hours he can get so I hope he won’t have trouble finding a job. We are covering his cell for now.
The whole tough love thing makes me want to hurl. I am doing my morning cry and then I will suck it up and go to part of a service and work. : (
How do I give someone a “thumbs up”? How do I add a booster note? How/where do I find those cool stickers/booster notes?
WE all want results quickly. Would you do a diet that said “I can guarantee 24 lbs of loss that will stay off”. I’d say sign me up. If they said” it will take 2 years”. I’d say you are kidding. Forget that. I want to be skinny and I want it now. Forget that it took me 30 years to gain my current weight. If they said I have a pill that will make you you ideal weight forever but you will have to give up 2 years of your life, would you swallow it?
Ya, you heard me. I have read a bit about this. http://www.thedietchannel.com/Weight-Loss-and-Sleep.htm I am off kilter from a recent trip, but I did make a commitment to going to bed earlier in June. I hear it can help.
“The influence of sleep on hunger became widely known to the scientific community just a few years ago with the publication of a pair of studies from the University of Chicago in Illinois and Stanford University in California. The studies examined the effects of sleep deprivation on two hormones that play a role in regulating appetite: leptin, a chemical that makes us feel full, and ghrelin, a chemical that stimulates hunger. ”
Sleep researchers say that these studies shed light on why so many individuals who fail to get adequate sleep also have weight problems. As to why being sleep-deprived might make a person hungrier for junk food than for healthier options, Dr. Eve Van Cauter, one of the researchers in the Chicago study, said that since the brain uses glucose for energy, it may prefer simple carbohydrates when distressed by a lack of sleep.
