It was a good day, I ate well, got some exercise and feel good tonight. My exercise was limited to yard work and maintenance around the house, but tomorrow I'll be back to the gym.
Thanks Cate it was, feels good to get things done around the house.
I should but the canoe is old, I have had it many years, an old heavy aluminum one and just a lot of work to move around. Right now I don't have much way to haul it either.
Thanks Petal, and it does feel good. Not so long ago I could not have done so much.
Yes, and I have a little, I am now targeting the mid 1500s, up about 50 calories. But I am not sure this is real weight loss, or just some lower bouncing. We'll see.

I love how positive you are - that's something I should mimic...

I am at 159 again this morning so I have decided to up my calorie goal again. I am going to 1600, will probably try to stay just under for a while anyway. Just have to see how it goes. Thanks for your advice (and "nagging") LaMa, it is appreciated. As is everyone's here.I say if your lowest weight drops twice within a couple of weeks that's indicative of a real loss. I'm glad you're slowly going up with your calories and I hope your confidence will keep growing.

It was a good day, I ate well, exercised and feel good tonight. Did a little over 2 hours in the gym today, got tired but feel good. I did increase my calories a bit, lets me eat a few more peaches.
And thanks Cate and Liza, it does seem to be working.
I try to be, but I am being honest, most days are good days.
Cate, that is a great boat table thing! I like that sort of thing, but old wooden boats are getting hard to find. Mine is aluminum and would not be so nice. And it still works fine, just a bit too big and awkward for me now. If I had a trailer I might use it again.
I agree Petal.
Thanks! I guess I think its progress. I still have to fight off the feeling I am overeating, but weighing every day and not seeing weight gain helps.

Another good day, I ate well (though 1600 calories sure feels like a lot), exercised and feel good tonight. Did an hour and 55 minutes at the gym, it was enough. My shoulder has been bothering me so I went to a doctor, he thinks I may have bursitis, he's probably right. He gave me a cortisone shot and I am hoping that's all I need. I have bursitis in the same shoulder about 20 years ago, and a cortisone shot worked then, so I am optimistic. He suggested taking it a little easier on my shoulders at the gym for a while, but said so long as it doesn't hurt to much I can do most anything I want. In reality the pain is less when weight lifting than when just moving around, it may hurt for a rep or two, but then the pain goes away. Guess I will take it a little easy for a while.
Oh I took a picture today and wanted to replace my avatar picture. However it only let me put the top half on. Here is the whole thing:
Yes, it does feel quite strange, but I know you are right and I am trying to see it as a victory.
Thanks Petal, I think I like your approach better just maintaining with some slow weight loss. If I had done that sooner I would not have had the hard stop. But I don't regret things, losing the weight has been a great experience for me. Now I am trying to make keeping it off another one.I wish I had that problem
Congratulations Rob
