Why is Tuesday the magic day? Is Tuesday anyone elses magic day? Today I weighed in at 185.6. For some reason Tuesday is always my lowest day of the week and I just don't get it. Is it the coffee at work? Do I need to be hunched over a computer to lose weight? How does being suck in a chair, chained to a desk, in a cube farm = weight loss? I just don't get it. I'm happy and overjoyed with 185.6 but I just don't get it. Now I have 5 more days to lose .6 or more.. I'd like to lose more. I'd like to be able to bench press my husband too but for now I'm looking for under 185 by next monday. Yup.. that's my plan and I'm sticking to it. Under 185 or.. well.. hmm.. I don't know. Get to under 185 or shovel manure all weekend long. There. That should get me to under 185. When all else fails threaten yourself with manure.

That being said. The fatsecret app doesn't like me. Half the time I get network timeout errors so I'm going back to tracking on myfitnesspal. My user name is nydairyfarmerswife if anyone else is on there and wants to be a food monitor and smack me when I misbehave. I did misbehave this morning. I got atkins bars because I know I can eat them when I'm in a rush and they keep me full all morning long. Well I had 1 this morning, had a run in with the old sitter about the boys, and then ate another one. Still not as bad as it could have been but it wasn't as good as it should have been either. Luckily the boys start somewhere new Thursday and the stress will be less. ... Then I will concentrate on benchpressing my husband. Why? no clue. I just want to know I can. I probably won't because that's well.. I don't know. I just don't see a man saying... yup.. my wife.. she can bench press me. Still.. that's got to come in handy at some point. I just don't know when. This is how my twisted mind works. I think it's an insecurity of being so short. Maybe I was a tiny dog in a previous life. I want to know I can do everything a big dog can do.

Plus well.. when your day includes carrying around 30-75 lb bags and hay bales and what not.. you get it in your head you can do more than you probably should. Like benchpress a grown man. Plus I found a picture of this woman body builder and I want her body. Because well.. I'm strange.

This is my new hero. I'm pretty sure she could kick my butt and she's my new hero. I want to look like I could kick butt. Right now I look like I could beat cake. I want to kick butt. New goal.. kick butt.

Yikes, well that's too muscular for me. Congrats again on your weight loss :-)

You're doing great! No matter if it's Tuesday magic or what, you're doing great! I don't want to look like a body builder, but it would be great to have less giggle and more muscle showing. You go kick butt!

I wish Tuesday was a magic day for me...usually it's the day when the weekend catches up to me!

I have noodle arms but I can probably leg press a small car lol. I would like to balance it out more. Great job, you are focusing more.

Hang with it DFW - and believe it or not, I actually CAN beat mt husband arm wrestling.

I can bench press my small dog. Does that count? Lol

I always weigh more on Monday than I do on Sunday or Tuesday, especially if I'm in a challenge where you weigh in on Monday. I used my Sunday weight this week, knowing full well that there's nothing magical about Monday weigh-ins. My partner agreed that I should use Sunday's weight, probably to keep me from throwing the scale out the window on Monday....

I'm bench pressing 10 pounds on the bar now in BodyPump class. I have to work up to having a body like that woman's; I'll have to live a long time work up that far. I'll settle for having firmer body parts, especially a tighter tummy and tush.

I weigh daily - just to see - but I only count Sunday. I think I get better (lighter) during the week (so long as I stay on track). I can't do half the things you do DFW, but I would like to. That could be my mini goal! I want to be strong like DFW! I log all my food on MFP too.

I need my husband to lose weight too if I ever have a hope of bench pressing him! :)

I have to go back now and check my Tuesday weights and compare them with the other days. LOL. Just wondering--are you still going to be on here?

21 Apr 15 by member: Jillzee00

Yup I will still be on here. I just can't log my food through the app half the time and by the time I get to a computer I've forgotten what I've eaten from 6 hours ago. lol Jeez this is getting bad. I'm not even sure what I ate for snack yesterday.

How do you like MyFitnessPal? Does it seem to have a fairly decent database (in terms of size and accurate nutritional data)?

22 Apr 15 by member: bmainwaring

They were doing maintenance yesterday. I got several connection errors to from my mobile device and that was the message I got when I tried to us the website. Don't leave us :( My lowest weights are after complete recovery and the weekends.

I like myfitness pal alot better. They seem to have a bigger database for what I eat and it sends me reminders like hey dummy you haven't logged, you only have 300 calories left and it's only 1pm, etc. Also it lets me track water easily. That's the app. I haven't used it alot online.

I'm not leaving. Just tracking in one spot through my phone then journaling here.

One big difference with MFP is the RDI calories. On MFP I have 1200 calories, on FS I have 1500. I also like their recipe builder.
