Belle thanks for the poem.  
 

Ombud wow.   1200 calories.  Agree with Belle  switch out some  corn and peas  to greener veggies like broccoli,  green beans , asparagus.  You are spot on just stick with it.   Maybe try intermittent fasting one day a week. 
 

wt stable. Staying at low end of range.

Good Morning all - I seem to have gained back the 1.4# that I had lost the last time I weighed.  I will keep trying - hope everyone has a wonderful week.  Jan

[Ombud]

32" so at least after another weekend of pizza & I've cream I didn't gain!! Found out those otter pops had 100 calories so not having those (I could go through a  half doz). So my 1200 was more like 1800. Will also buy lower carb veggies. Onto another week

Hi all!

 

Belle ~ nice start to the thread.

 

I'm trying to stick to 1200 calories but it doesn't always work out!

 

I am down 0.2 lbs so at least a little step in the right direction.

 

Have a nice weekend & stay safe.

Hi guys...weight down 2.5 lbs on first week.  Late joining in due to keeping my 13 month old grandson.  Busy!  Long way to go but got a start on it.  Gotta go....this baby tries to eat everything!

[Belle]

Afternoon All

 

Izena--You're doing good staying at your goal weight. Keeping the weight off

they say is the hardest in the weight loss journey.

 

Jan--Sorry you had a gain but that is for over several weeks not just one week.

Know you'll get off in the weeks to come. Glad you didn't gain this week.

 

Ombud--Glad you didn't have a gain in inches this week. Good luck on your

new diet plan. Sounds good.

 

Jo--I know 1200 cals isn't easy. Glad you had a loss this week. You've been good losing a little each week.

 

Susan--What a good start. A nice loss. You should be getting exercise taking

care of a 13-month-old grandson.

 

Me--I lost the pound I gained last week. Losing weight is so hard these days

with all the different foods out there. Think it was better for people in the "old days"

when there wasn't so many food options

 

Wishing everyone a good weekend in whatever you do. Also hoping your food

choices are good for a weight loss or at least no gains.

[Izena]

Good morning to everyone.   Same old routine here.  Getting anxious which is normal for me pre trip.   I’m a nervous Neely.   Any deviation from my plan  brings me to tears -  good that my son is  gone until Tuesday - I would drive him crazy.    
 

getting ready for morning walk.

[Belle]

Hello All. Hope everyone is having or had a good day.

 

Izena your trip is near. Hope nothing changes and you'll have a good time

I never get nervous, now with the testing, you kind of worry that you might

test positive. Never even did that until my son did and missed his cruise.

My main thing I deal with is what clothes will I take?

 

Someone else is cruising soon too. Ombud? I leave in 3 weeks from today.

 

Jan are you able to still take your cruise? I hope so but know your going

though a lot. Have you been having doctor appointments? You haven't said much.

Know I and others are praying, thinking and sending good thoughts your way.

 

Ombud how is the 1200 cals going each day?

 

Susan is your 2nd week dieting going well as your 1st?

 

Jo hope your still going in right direction this weekend.  I'm trying to!

 

Take care all.

 

[Ombud]

Deviated a little at the luncheon. Had 1/2c potato salad, skipped pasta salad, 1/2 open face sandwich, and only 1 cookie. We'll see ... for Tuesdays luncheon have requested lemon instead of dressing for my spinach salad. 🤞

[Belle]

Hope everyone enjoyed their Sunday which happens have been Father's Day.

Those that have their husbands or fathers around hope you had a good

time together.

 

Others like me it was a day to remember our husbands and fathers thinking of

our special time we had with them.

 

Ombud you're busy enjoying luncheons out. With friends or some special occasion?

You did well on eating portion control. I really like potato salad don't know if could of

had 1/2 c of it.

 

I was supposed to have lunch with a friend that was here for a few days after

a cruise but the whole family got sick. (Not covid) but didn't know at the time.

They use to live here, moved to AZ.  We talk on the phone each weekend but haven't

seen each other in a few years. We were disappointed.

 

Hope you have a good start to the week for some it's a holiday.  I get my 2nd booster 

today (Monday) Should help my protection for cruising since it will be new. (will have the

2 weeks to take hold) before my cruises.

[Izena]

Same routine.   Binged on chips and cookies Sat. Back on track.   Taste is off    Only getting hints of savory flavors.   Even some of sweet snacks don’t taste good.    Never had Covid.   Of course it doesn’t stop me from eating.  
 

 Fly out on wed.   Clothes organized ready to pack. 

[Belle]

Sorry your taste buds are off. Hope comes back soon.

 

Have a great time on your trip. Bon Voyage!

Sitting here with a sore arm. Had 2nd booster today, everything was fine

then tonight my arm started hurting. I figure it might happen since it

did with 1st booster. Plus went food shopping after shot and putting

bags in car, then out, then in house, then put away. Knew it might bother

the arm also. (They pack the bags so heavy now, new employees who

seem not to care or not trained right) Guess they hire who they can with

not getting enough help. Think every place is shorthanded not just cruise ships.

 

OK will stop venting now, will wait and see in morning how far I can lift my arm.

 

Take care and have a good Tuesday.

[Ombud]

Belle, Father's Day is a little sad here too. Must focus on just the good memories and not his hospice period. 

 

Izena, Bon Voyage tomorrow!!

 

Jan, slow & steady gets it done. Those 1.4 lbs will go

 

Jo, are you sticking to 1200 calories too?

 

Susan, kudos on 2.5 lbs gone ✔ 

 

There's a lunch every Saturday after services but I don't really need a whole sandwich or a salad drowning in salad dressing. Why do they think a whole bottle is needed?? That's why I avoid the salad and just have a 1/2 sandwich. Off to today's monthly Lunch & Learn luncheon.

 

Upset at my PT. He keeps saying my back pain is due to age despite the fact that I feel a few feet (5-6') down a hill and that's when the pain started. Gave me a ridiculous exercise where I lay on my back, lift my knee 10×. Says to limit exercise to less than 10 minutes a day. And I'm still hiking 3-4 miles a day. And playing ball.

Hi all!

 

Izena ~ have a great time!! Hope your taste comes back real soon!

 

Ombud ~ I'm trying to stick to the 1200 calories but don't always manage.

 

Belle ~ hope your arm is feeling better.

 

Have a nice evening & stay safe.

 

~ Jo ~ 😊

[Belle]

Morning all. Really hot yesterday and hot today too. How's your weather?

 

Jo--My arm is better I did have to take some aspirin. Thank you.

 

My daughter came over today had a nice visit. My son is on a cruise, only a 4 day.

So funny I like long cruises and he like 7 days or less. But he is taking a 15-day Hawaii

cruise in Sept. My daughter will take whatever she can get and has the time off.

 

Izena-- is flying today for hers.

 

Ombud--Yes just think of the good times before they were sick, Nice they have a lunch

after your services. I think you should see some else about your back to get out of pain.

PT not doing right by you.

 

Jan--How are you doing? Hope you're having a good week and getting support from family.

 

Susan--Hope you're having good days with your eating plan.
