The scale finally budged again. Thank goodness. I was having trouble keeping on track without some reward, lol. I know, I know, better health is its own reward, right?? But I'm not feeling that yet, either :-0. I did meet my new doctor today and she seems very supportive of my issues. So we will see if my physical shows any problems. Other than increasing my vitamin D intake, I am just going to keep on doing what I am doing as best I can.

The volunteer that drove me to the Doctor's office was a very nice lady who also attends the local TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) meeting and offered to take me to my first meeting and introduce me around, which would help with my anxiety about new places/people. One more positive step to take.

Habits I've changed:
1. Stop eating processed food.
2. Exercise more (swim at least 2 times a week, bike and walk)
3. Increase fruit and vegetable intake (try new vegetables and fruit)
4. Start cooking/baking from scratch.

Habits I am still working on:
1. Stop drinking anything with added sugar (soda, fruit drinks, etc.) Except my one coffee a day.
2. Stop emotional eating.
3. Eating mindfully.
4. Planning meals ahead to help prevent making poor choices.

Wishing everyone a skinny day.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the support on my "blues day" journal post. My mood is better, it really helps to hear from people that struggle with the same challenges and really "get it" !! Bless you all!

Wore myself out this weekend so I had a little slip off the wagon last night, but I didn't go over my daily calorie expenditure of 3000, so I am going to let myself off the hook...I am going to blame fatigue and the d*** fibromyalgia pain for my weakness.

Considering I was out and about with a friend and her son and didn't succumb to our usual fast food habits, I am choosing to be proud of myself. Cooked a whole chicken in the slow-cooker for our dinner (could have tasted better - screwed up and added a lemon to the vegetables and it was very bitter) and took my homemade zucchini muffins when we went shopping so we wouldn't buy fast food. Then, after they left for the night I slipped and binged on the two pieces of cheesecake that I reserved (gave the balance to them so I wouldn't eat it). Oh well, it's the first major slip since I started this journey on June 27 and I've made a lot of changes and cooked a lot of new things. My friend and her son went to town on my homemade Naan bread, which was gratifying...and made up for the awful chicken, lol.

Wishing everyone a good day!

Battling the blues since yesterday afternoon....a lifetime problem, just getting a bit worse with age. Tried the walk, tried the music, tried being social, going to try a swim. At least the water will mask the random tears that insist on running down my face. Oh well, this too shall pass, just sucks at the moment. Managing not to give into the urge to eat junk or binge, but just barely. Doesn't help that despite staying near my RDI and increasing my exercise the scale is going up. Trying to find a local doctor so I can investigate this thyroid thing and the foot pain thing, and the back pain thing. The blues thing I am kinda over trying to do something about, I think it's just my life. Maybe if I change other things, it will get better on it's own. Wish I could enjoy the lovely weather more. Hope everyone is having a successful day!
