No excuses, no whining, let's just make it happen!

We know how to make this band work for us and 2015 will be our year!

B lettuce Canadian bacon cheese wrap.

L Ginger tomato Soup 3 onion rings

D Burger cheese on lettuce/broccoli

Snack 3 cashews so far

Planning a smoothy for evening! Fresh strawberry to boot!

Water is my drink of the day! Must remember my vit/min. Have not been on that train lately. Today is a good day to get back in the supplements!

No grand kids today. We did have a celebration lunch with sweet Grand daughter on her way home from 12 days at the hospital . She is beautiful but a bit wobbly. God is healing her.

Mowing and gardening. Loving the sunny dry day. Windy but ok in my jacket. We just spied a red bellied woodpecker nesting in a mature oak behind the house. This bird is huge! Many gold finches, downy wood peckers, robbins, purple finch, wrens and blue jays about the feeders. HIS eye is on the sparrow. I know he watches YOU! Live longer, and eat smartly!!

Bacon... ya know we have lots of support here. YOU gotta get on this and come around the back stretch to get the prize! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Checkered flags are so pretty when they wave at you on the finish line! GOAL made! HUSTLE on............

Hi! Can I join in? I am almost 7 years post lapband, with a complete unfill in November. I get a fill on the 29th, but I am trying to keep myself accountable. You all seem so motivated. That's exactly what I need as I start this journey again!

Sure can! Welcome glammaw!

I'm calling today a success. I did not get much through but I did not force it either. No binge. I got stuck at dinner and had to quit. The Pete made smoke tonight, so it is going bye bye in the morning. So now things will start to settle down... ya right. I did get a small bowl of sherbert, and it is going well. ya'll have a goodun'!!

Welcome, @@Glammaw! Good job, @@bacon!

I had a good, good day. Lawyer went well. Therapy went well. food is spot on. 1200 calories yesterday and today. Tomorrow I will be able to once again walk on my lunch hour. I've missed it. Got my stairs in both days.

It feels so, so good to be back in control with the food.

@@Glammaw - welcome to the crew!!

@@bacon - good job yesterday! Can we repeat today?

@@JustWatchMe - I was so thankful to read that yesterday had gone well. Like you, I feel so good & strong when my food is under control. Kudos for making it happen for YOU!

@@punkinvine - we are glad to see spring as well. Now if we could just find a house and have a yard to work/play in!

@@2babutterfly - you back in the swing after your weekend? Are you testing yet? I gotta admit, I miss some things about teaching, but that's not one of them!

All is well here. I ate according to plan all day long, even eating out twice, until evening. I got into a treat that is a weakness. Instead of binging on the whole thing, I handed it to my husband and had him eat the other half. I did drink an extra 24 oz of Water to wash it down and maybe help flush it a little. It's also logged into my fitness pal so that I'm not in hiding or denial about it. The big girl is still alive and well in my head; however, her bad habits sure made me feel like junk last night. I felt so yucky after eating out and the treat. Why in the heck do I do that to myself?!?

Today is a new day and there's no eating out, thank goodness. My plan:

B - 8 oz shake w/fiber

L - greek yogurt w/fiber & granola

S - 8 oz shake w/fiber

D - 2 egg omlette & 2 bacons

72 oz of water, 75 minutes exercise (30 minutes already done!!)

777c, 84p, 26nc

Hope you guys have a swell hump day and take care of you!!

All In. Will not binge. Good small dinner..

I was wrong. Have to work through lunch today. That's okay. I'll get my stairs in. I've been getting hungry earlier at work. I'm considering adding a snack to my day. For today I brought my lunch, and dinner at home will be quite late. So maybe a snack in the afternoon. Could be a protein shake.

So glad to see people on here again!

@@s_suther I'm trying to get into the swing of things. Testing is happening this week but not in my prek world! That is one reason I left 4th grade!! It's ruining our system!

Confession....no exercise yet this week. But I plan on going to at least do the treadmill today!

My plan.,,

B- cheese stick

S- protein drink

L- 1/4 c chicken salad & 1/4 c broccoli salad

D- grilled chicken breast 1/2 roasted cabbage

At least a 30 min treadmill walk

Bahahaha! Ok. I went and walked the hood this afternoon all proud! And then I get home and realized I had my pants on wrong side out!!! I'm cool like that! ????????

Good morning... sunny but chilly here. Love watching the birds at the feeders. A beautiful Baltimore Oriole just ate a jelly snack! God sure is a magnificent creature!

B cheerieos 3/4 C 1/2 C milk 1 strawberry

L Homemade vegi Soup

D? Out with the Elderly Aunt and Mom... best choice on the menu (fish is my thought)

Just looking Shannon... how do you make the names blue?

I am not a computer specialist! Hope the house hunting can find you a sweet abode! Thinking garden and birdfeeders? That is not for everyone but I sure enjoy it! We are in 2 acres among 35 acres of mature hardwoods in Indiana. Been here many years so I almost forget how to house hunt! It sounds exciting in a way! Blessings all and praying for success to abound on your WL journey!

EXERCISE Vacuum, rake , hoe............. here I go!

@@2babutterfly - pants inside out during a walk...PRICELESS!! Sounds like something I would do.

Status quo around here today. I've got meals planned as follows:

B - 8 oz shake w/fiber

L - chicken salad

S - 8 oz shake w/fiber

D - meatloaf

952c, 91p, 30nc

72 oz Water & 45 minutes of exercise

The exercise will be a challenge today. Our daughter has a kickball game this evening, but I'm going to try to work around that and make it happen.

I hope all of you are doing well and have a swell day. Take care of you.
