Spent the morning with a close friend. We visited with some mutual friends and went thrifting. I bought some pottery to give as gifts and my friend purchased 6 shirts for her grandson. Together we spent a total of about $20.00. We had a wonderful time and stayed within spending budget.

I just got back from vacation. I did better than I have in the past, but I am committed to getting back on my program now. I planned out my foods for the day and I will ride my bike.

First : as from today I lost 10% of my original body weight.
Dec 25, 2011: 250 lbs July 24, 2012: 237 lbs Sept 9, 2012: 224.4 lbs
Before SparkPeople, on my own, trying to develop healthy eating habits: Dec 25, 2011 to July 22, 2012: 13 lbs lost over 30 weeks = 0.43 lbs average per week
With SparkPeople and the Readers Digest Diet: July 23 to September 9th, 2012: 12.6 lbs lost over 7 weeks = 1.8 lbs average per week

I ate my 5 servings of fruits (1) and veggies (4) today!
Over the past 3 weeks I have been eating less and I was feeling a difference (not for the better) I just told myself I was going to do it today and I had my big salad with baby spring mix, broccoli, carrots, and I sautéed yellow squash with dinner. It was YUMMY!

I'm on day 6 of Digest Diet and so far all is well. Actually I have a little trouble to get enough calories in on a daily basis. I was worried about being hungry but I am not at all! Even with exercising. I've been working out really well (a diversity of both cardio and strength) and I can barely move! But I lost 9 lbs so far, in 10 or 11 days (?)
I am guessing that is normal so (I am not good with knowing what normal ranges are for things like that)!

So far I've been really careful about counting calories and trying to be accurate. I tend to think of them like money; when it's all gone or used up (according to the SP suggested range), I need to stop. If I have some 'left over' by the time dinner is over, then I might reward myself with a treat. :)

I am down 2.4 lbs this week. Super happy about that. I am down 8 lbs since the 17th of July. I have recommitted myself exercise and eating right by becoming a Beachbody Coach. This will hold me very accountable to my exercising and eating plans plus if I can make some money at it that would be even better ! On August 13th I am going to get back to my TurboFire workouts but this time I am going to do the advanced schedule. This will be a challenge but I am up for it.

This is actually for yesterday. I learned to add more fruit to what I eat during the day. I also cut back on carbohydrates and added more protein and that was a big difference (actually was able to eat more that way and never felt hungry.

This is actually something I did right yesterday (it's 4:30 in the morning today :-)
I exercised 2x - once walking my dog in the morning and then 20 minutes of WII after dinner. Felt great - I forgot how good it feels to start taking care of myself.

Nice job!
My "Something I did right today" is that I met a bunch of friends for dinner, ordered SALAD instead of fries to eat with my grilled chicken sandwich, and while I did order dessert, I only ate half of it!!!! I never imagined I would be able to push that plate away but I did it!!
