I needed something pretty to look at.
Because this is going to be an ugly post!
If you chose to judge me - keep your fingers off the keyboard.
There's nothing you can say to me that I haven't already thought about myself.
Remember, I speak fluent Sailor with a Trucker accent.

After not having gotten on a scale or been to a meeting since July 22, I was back at my meeting on Tuesday. Of course, I was up again. This is what happens when you don't follow the plan that's clearly written out in front of you!
I just looked at my app and after losing a total of 67.6 lbs, I've managed to put it all back on plus 12.6 of its friends. I got down to 202 lbs at one point, but I never made it into Onederland.
That's discouraging, since I know it's all in my head.
My whole story is up in the tab above.
Anyhoo. I went back thru some old blog posts to see what I was going back when I was successful. It helped a lot that I had fewer picky eaters in my home. But that's nothing I can fix right now - unless someone out there in Blogland wants to adopt a 27 year old picky eater and her 2 little picky spawns? Know of a circus to sell them to? No?
One thing I was doing for a while, which might actually seem like it'll work again was this thing I called a Dime Journal.
It was a notebook (duh!) and for each day, I'd write down 10 things I wanted to accomplish. Once I accomplished all items on the list, I'd have "earned" $1. Then once I earned a certain amount of hypothetic money, I'd treat myself to something like a massage.
Here's one I posted back in 2016...
Then I'd post a weekly recap...
Note - "FLY" is to remind me to follow the FlyLady program and do 15 minutes of cleaning/tidying around my house.
Actually - I might just keep the same / similar items on my new list, since these are all good ones. I used to wear a Fitbit that clipped onto my bra, since I normally wear a regular watch and don't want to swap it for a fancy fitness tracker. I ordered a basic pedometer, and Amazon says it's out for delivery.
The 5K steps is going to be tough since right now I have so many aches & pains that the last thing I want to do is go for a walk - oh plus the heat & humidity! I also have one of those Infinity Hoops at home, but I have no place to do it at, unless I go outside. In theory, the living room has enough space to use it there, but the grandkids have taken over so I don't even like going in there anymore.
Ugh. So my goal is to get everything ready this weekend and will start the Journal officially on Tuesday since that's weigh in day.
Wish me luck!
Just as a reminder - that's me under the arrow at last week's search & rescue training.
I hate this picture.
And out of respect for the rest of my team,
I've never volunteered to be the one carried in the basket.
