Hey Maryann - I am totally NOT worried about you - you are ALWAYS great when you are eating out!!!
It sounds like you gonna have a wonderful weekend ahead of you.
(Jealous you have a long weekend - we won't even have a day off.)
 
I hear you on the weather just motivating you even more. We are almost into summer which means our wedding season is creeping in. And I'm just loving the sun, sea and warmness.

Enjoy your weekend and be good!
 
Hey Maryann!
I love your plan and I agree with everyone else, you are really eating healthy and making good choices! I'm sure that as you continue to make the exercise a little tougher, you will lose even more...our body has a way of getting efficient at working those muscles not to burn calories (bummer!) so just keep making thiose win/win choices with Koko and I'm betting you'll get good resu,to! Your walking path a t noon soy des really nice...much better than my options!
Have a great weekend!

Good Friday... peaceful quiet morning at home... then the "easter outings" begin....

thanks for the encouragement and support everyone, ....I need that "boost" some days, thx Cory & Justina...not always easy for me to stay on the right road.... but am glad I'm doing it...

the scale did not budge this week...argh.....but as you said Sarah , just keep it going... the scale will catch up.... my body may be adjusting to my exercise..so gonna try & put a litte more zip in my step.... ;) ....push things a little harder... View attachment 20376

....my horoscope( .... I know...does anybody really read those things anymore)... it said today: "take control of my destiny and work toward the goals that I have set"...

... luv the link to your re-affirmations Cate...needed those this morning...

.. so..."adjusted" plan today...had originally thought to take "day off" from healthy...as I was ticked the scale had not moved...but , as usual, you folks inspired me yet again,

... plan today:
Koko walk & treadmill, View attachment 20377
( forecast is +6c ...and sun is already coming out... just like you Mands...I luv outside....& I always picture the Mama-Mia movie landscape when I think of you....sea, sand, hilly beautiful island.. gorgeous setting for weddings & living... ;) ..)
...then off to #1 of our 3 easter outings...

..& I plan to just smile to the Easter Bunny, but say NO Thankyou to his chocolate! .... lol.... oh ya.... am taking my ratatouille to the supper tonite...so will have some of my daily 7 fruit/veg goal covered there !

Hey Maryann, no matter what sign your horoscope is this is a great line: "take control of my destiny and work toward the goals that I have set" :)
BTW - I can't believe you are saying no to Easter chocolate! I have been counting down to this day! I can finally eat chocolate - TOMORROW - i have chocolate egg sitting right next to me !
Have a great Easter!
 
Hey Maryann! Good plan on no chocolate for Easter, and all those outings! I'm sure little Koko was happy about yet another prospect of another walk!
Happy Eastwr Maryann!

Hi Maryann, Hope you are having a lovely Easter. We had one small chocolate egg each with the grand-kids & trust me, it was fairly ordinary. Our son buys good quality eggs but milk chocolate tastes like fat & sugar to me. :ack2: Good quality dark chocolate is my treat. I don't want the grand-kids thinking I'm obsessive about food, so usually have something similar or the same as them.
Are you measuring Maryann? I used to find that some weeks I lost weight & others size. You are doing so well. I'm glad you are getting the support you so generously give. Enjoy the thaw! xoxo Cate
 
Hey all - Monday mornin' ..... back to work ....after all the Easter fun.....

Great on avoiding the chocies! Ham and turkey is protein and that will burn up quickly.

Have a fab week!
