4) resisted buying any sweets at the gym before my work out.I was fondling them...lol(they were wrapped).
5) Ate really well today, clean and healthy most all organic today.
6) Chewing gum, remaining AF tonight getting ready for bed.

We rushed to meet our friends at a birthday gathering at texas road house for dinner tonight. The guest of honor turned 50 today. His wife was running late because they were having pie issues, her daughter made the apple pie from scratch! There were 10 of us. nice gathering, great food. I ate the salmon and broccoli and a salad with ceasar dressing on it. I was stuffed. ( I passed on the wonderful rolls they serve and sweet potatoes and drinks. I drank water. Had a good time but was ready to call it a night. Truth be know, I am not very good in social situations and I tend to drink at this couples house so..... I Did not want to go over to their house and not eat the pie, nor socialize or drink.. So I excused myself saying that I was going to go to the gym. Came home and decided that I was way too full and so close to dinner time that I was not going to the gym. I will go tomorrow night. I am very sleepy right now and wonder if I laid down for a bit if that would perk me up?
When hubby gets home, think I will just tell him that I was too full which is true.

I just thought that i would look at my report for my weigh ins and am surprised at the weight gain from drinking. and how I yo yo'd over the past 8 months. just think if I had not been drinking I would be at my goal weight by now.
158-9-30 stopped drinking
152- 10-20
147-11-10
145-11-16
144.5-12-14 started drinking again
150-1-13
155-3-6 stopped drinking
151-3-28
146.5-4-25
152-5-6
145.5-5-17...almost a 10 pound weight loss in 9 weeks, 12.5 loss in 8 months.

If I continue to loss one pound a week then I will be close to my goal weight in 10 more weeks.
I must remain alcohol free, IT seems to be the only way for me to lose weight. When I am more focused and on a diet. Drinking 300 calorie blue berry beers sure puts on the weight for me.

It was a trifecta day!

1- I ate well today:
Drank a pot of coffee, had scrambled eggs with onions and peppers in butter, later I had 1/4 cup humus, and then had 2 tablespoons of peanut butter because it sounded good. For dinner I had a hamburger pattie with cheese and Had 4 cups of mixed veggies tonight, mostly broccoli, carrots, squash, green beans, red peppers.

2- I made it to the gym:
I did a very good work out on the tred mill:
15% incline alternating one minute at 3 mph not holding on, then one minute at 2.5 holding on.
I did this the longest I have ever been able to maintain. 30 minutes! then lowered the incline to 7.5 and walked 10 minutes at 3.0mph for a total of 40 minutes! I sure did sweat and pant along the way. Great cardio!

3- I remained Alcohol free!
Only had small cravings this evening but will drink some sweetened water with stevia.

I finished billing this afternoon and did some filing now to do some charting. I should have gone to office depot sooner today, they were closed by the time I went there after the gym. I need some more copies of forms to use to make new charts. I will get them tomorrow.

Hubby is still gone....he will be back tomorrow.
I miss him.
He is my rock.

I went to the gym tonight after dinner. and could not do my normal interval training on the treadmill at 15%....
I tried and just could not do it.
rats..... I did so well last time.
so I lowered the incline to 7.5% and just walked without holding on for 30 minutes. Said I burned 230 calories.
sigh
I hardly sweat at all!
oh well some activity is better than no activity.
right?

I was trying to burn calories today too. did alot of gardening and boy did I sweat.
then I blew it, came in and had ice cream. I do think I burned those calories however it was hot outside!!!!! do you garden any bizi? ginnie

hi ginnie,
I used to garden alot then I got lazy and only do what I have to and my yard looks terrible fo rit. We have a yard man that mows the grass and edges so that the grass looks nice but the flower beds are awful and in need of attention.
Glad that you worked in the yard. I don't buy ice cream because i would eat it all if I had it in the house, kind of like alcohol....
bizi

I am out in the yard each and every day, pain and all. It was on tour of gardens down here. Big pain in the butt to keep up with however. That is the only way I can allow myself icecream. If I work outside 4 hours or so, and really sweat, I grant myself that treat. Yes I love ice cream. ginnie

good for you sweet ginnie.
love hearing from you!
I am starting over or rather I was stuck for a while in an unhealthy mode over the past four days. I DRANK ALOT!!!!!
So I am starting over weighed 146 this morning so not too much weight gain.
total lost 10 pounds since 3-19-13.
Had a light dinner then went to the gym and had to have some tunafish before I worked out....that was 500 calories, working out was no more than 300. you can do the math!
But have it is a start over with day one alcohol free. I don't know when I will drink again, I just know that it is not healthy for me and I drink too much and my favorite beers have 300 calories in each one, that is an egg mcmuffin!!!!!So when I had 3 last night I had 3 egg mcmuffins on top of my usual dinner.
sigh
today is a new day
day 1
