171.4 I don't know why I thought the weight would just fall off since I have not been drinking alcohol. This is a foolish notion. I have been AF for ten days. I think I have lost a pound this week. I will take it.
It looks like we will eat out, nothing is out from the freezer. We have concerts to attend both friday and saturday nights. That should be fun!
Tonight is a jazz trio, and tomorrow is a faculty recital classical chamber music. I hope we don't go out after the concerts, some times the faculty like to do that to celebrate their concert success.
I have not been in an alcohol situation this time around.
I would rather not go but that is not fair to hubby. He could take me home and then join them. or I should just suck it up and have a diet coke.
We will see.
It is friday a lent day so Sandras will have fish on the menu. I usually get the salmon cooked rare. It is delicious! But maybe they will have some other fish option.
I love to eat and this is one reason I am over weight.
Drinking is the main reason why I gained 45 pounds in 2 years.
It is slowly coming off.
I made it to the gym last night 2.5 miles on the tred mill.
I brought head phones so I could listen to the tv shows which made the time fly by. I belong to planet fitness and have been 3 times since joining on valentines day. I bought the up graded membership so that way I can use their hydro message bed and bouncer machine. They also have a massage chair that is too much. I will try it again to see if I can dial it down a notch. It hurts my shoulder blades!
At this level I will be able to go to other gyms in different cities like when we travel to Indiana this summer, or in different locations here.
The hydro bed is so nice that it gives me incentive to go to use the bed as a reward for going.
I hope I don't give up the tred mill and just go for the hydro bed!LOL
Think I will try intermittent fasting again, skipping breakfast and not eating after 7;30.

wish me luck!

I just listened to a "refuge recovery" meditation.
(a buddist practice toward freedom from addiction)
IT was awesome!
The in real life meetings are in my home town. We meet on mondays at 8pm. I have never been to one before.
I will post back after I attend.
I think there is a book that I should get.(just ordered it from amazon)

Good luck with it all. I personally would love to get to 171.

Just doesn't seem to be possible

I think by cutting out any calories that we drink....we will lose weight. Do you drink any calories. Our bodies don't recognize the calories in drinks.
So I don't drink sodas or sports drinks or milk, juice etc....and now I don't drink fattening beers either.

Congratulations on your 10 AF days!

I have found that really pushing the water has helped me as far as losing weight. Powerade makes a zero sugar sports drink if you feel that you would like/need one. A&W makes a diet root beer that tastes just like the real thing. Corey and I love it! Their diet cream soda is even better, but I've only been able to find it in stores once.

You're doing well going to the gym and getting on that treadmill. I can't take the massage chair at the nail salon when I get a pedicure. I don't see how anyone could. Maybe it is similar to the one you have at the gym? I'm glad you like the hydro bed

I hope you have a good time at all the concerts
It is good of you to consider Jeff's feelings about going out afterwards, but I think you should do what's comfortable for you

It is so frustrating....
I put on 3 pounds over night....I know that this is not fat, I did not eat that many calories so it is water weight. I am stuck on 11 pounds lost since nov 15th.
sigh
I should not weigh every day....I still look pregnant.
so discouraging....

I have made it 10 days Alcohol free.
It has been a struggle coming home from working to not stop by and have a beer or two. But I tell myself as I drive by the whole foods that has a bar with delicious dark fattening beers....
"That is how I put on 45 pounds in 2 years".
I have lost a solid 11 pounds since 11-15-17.
It is coming off slowly.
Frustrated so I said what the heck and split a muffelleto sandwich with my husband, delicious if you like olives!
