My last weight loss journey; update

Eye roll 🙄, I’ve been countin’ my calories with the My Fitness Pal app. And once a week I’ve been weighing myself.  I’ve been using this thing more; once I sprayed it with White Grease and got rid of the very obnoxious squeak. 🙃 It’s always something.  107 blood sugar  Blood pressure 133/84, little onContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; update”

My last weight loss journey; still at it

I HATE food logs and tracking calories. But I know this is what works for me. So back to the mind numbing boredom of tracking. “If you can track it, you can achieve it.” Alux.com Very true. But oh the horror of tracking.  And did I forget to mention measuring food? 😳🤦🏼‍♀️ 23 shredded miniContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; still at it”

My last weight loss journey; here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak, tweak

I have come to the realization, reading many blog, listening to all different kinds of material, I have a life time of habits to change. Have to learn new ways to deal with b.s. And have to tell myself no, more often.  When I went to the store this time, I bought a few KetoContinue reading “My last weight loss journey; here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak, tweak”

My last weight loss journey: trickery

It’s been a little while since I’ve written a post about my journey. There hasn’t been much to tell except the same old story. Loose a pound gain 3. As I get deeper into the throws of menopause, I seem to gain 5 pounds for every cookie I eat. Just thinking about a cookie madeContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: trickery”

My last weight loss journey: holidays

What could you do differently? Candy, cakes, and pies. Oh my! I love most of them. Normally I would have said all of them but I tried a lemon blueberry cake ball over the weekend that was 🤢. Not good. Lemon and blueberry are both delicious. It made me sad and disappointed my tastebuds thatContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: holidays”

My last weight loss journey: drink more water

Drink more water. 🤢 Stay hydrated. If I may ask, when did the phrase ‘stay hydrated’ become so common? Honestly. I live in my own world. A co-worker scared the be-gee-bees out of me the other day because I was in my own little world. 🤭 I don’t like water. But I’ve tried to addContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: drink more water”

My last weight loss journey: journaling

I find journaling laborious. There’s no fun in it. Yes, it sucks! With that being said, writing stuff down is the best way to keep track of it. A budget. A gratitude journal. A prayer journal. The notes on my phone is a rockstar. Especially since I discovered you can make it read to you.Continue reading “My last weight loss journey: journaling”

My last weight loss journey: choices

Life is a series of choices. Should I get up and go to work today? Or not? Should I wear jeans or dress pants? Should I eat breakfast at home or wait? When you are dieting, more choices take shape. I want a candy bar but I’ll eat these apple chips. I will drink moreContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: choices”

My last weight loss journey: the chart

114 – 149: talk about overwhelming. This is what the chart says I should weigh. 😳 How about healthy? Are you at a healthy weight? Does weighting between these two numbers mean I’m healthy? No cholesterol issues. No high blood pressure. No diabetes (sugar). How did these become the magic numbers? I know, I’m askingContinue reading “My last weight loss journey: the chart”
