Awesome!!

I think we are both back on track!

Small changes, one foot in front of the other and eventually we will get there! I struggled a bit the last few days with not being satisfied with my meals and feeling like something more. I ended up using 23 of my extra points over the last few days to get me through but hey that is what they are for! And today I find myself full after dinner with 9 points left- go figure. I still have to get in 2 fruit/veggies and might have some popcorn later for a snack. No exercise today but I have exercised the last 5 days in a row. Will do something tomorrow.

Now I am off to go work on my assignment....coming up with a full day meal plan to share with my sister and maybe try out this week.

so has been an interesting 2 weeks - I certainly am more conscious about what I am eating and how much I am eating. I am hoping it will result in wt loss -- but it is the balance of energy in and out - still need to watch the portions and make sure i am exercising. Have a dog with me for a few days so i am certainly walking more and walked to and from a friends house - even though my friends tried to "push" a ride on me. I did not get home till almost midnight - but enjoyed the walk. I am going to do this - with you sis - love the quinoa

Back from my walk...

Just got in from my walk to do some errands. My goal this week was to increase my activity from 0 to 7 activity points earned. I think my walk today brings me to 7 and I still have 2 more days :) It is not alot really and certainly not more than I used to do. Was I really that girl who ran at lunch, taught aqua fit after work and then went to my 1 hour masters swimming workout? Or the person who went for a run before a full day of downhill skiing because I wanted to get a work out in? Yikes no wonder my friends all thought I was nuts. Anyways I am far from thatnow but this week has been a huge improvement over doing nothing so I am very happy with my efforts. I will keep the same goal for next week as it is achievable and a good start to building my way back to fitness. Now off to finish my lunch of quinoa salad. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM love the quinoa!

Here we go again

Weighed in again this am but at home- will do the meeting thing next week.

Had a good day yesterday, tracked everything, met all the HGs and stayed within points. Will try for the same againtoday but with exercise. I am about to head downstairs and ride my ex bike. Think I might aim to ride in te ride for heart again this year. That would be an acheivable goal, lots of time to get in shape for it and it is a fun event. So off to go get started.

ETA: I did my 20 mins on the bike, ok for a start and it felt OK

Trying....

.... but haven't quite got it together yet. I start the day eating properly and tracking but it hasn't been ending that way :O I haven't got it together again on the exercise either. Oh well gotta keep plugging away, fake it til I make it.

Yeah, here we go again, baby steps. This week I commit to tracking again.

one more time

okay so we talked and agreed we need to do this. I heard that people who are successful share their successes -- even the small ones. The small ones build up towards the large ones. It is finding the success in every situation that helps us to move forward. Even when we are not quite perfect - that is a success in itself - recognizing that is important and not being hard on ourselves. So back to ww i went today. Lets see how my big sis does.

Cheers
