Shoot, lost my post and had to start over again
Thank you so much for the support, Tracy & Cam! It really, really does help keep me on track when I am feeling down about myself. Cam, I've been using Fitday, but I'll go over and check out sparkpeople. It sounds good. I was doing the exercise challenges before, but got discouraged when I wasn't meeting my goals. I should try that again though. Thanks for the reminder.

WI:176.5 - another vacation lb gone!
We spent the weekend picking up the house, de-decorating, etc. It started raining Friday and hasn't stopped since. I don't like the wet, but it was nice that it forced us to have a quiet, easy weekend at home.
DH did all the cooking on Saturday. He tries to be healthy, but really doesn't understand what that means. All but one member of his family ranges from overweight to very obese. DH himself has always been thin, but over the years the pounds have gone on and is overweight himself now. I used portion control and adding in some fruits and veggies. DH and DD12 made a wonderful chocolate cake. I was proud of myself for having only one cubic inch.
Even with the less stellar food choices, I didn't get out of control. My calories were below 1600, and the ratio of fat/carb/protein was 22/47/30%. Sunday I had more control of my food choices and did much better. Actually, my calories were awfully low so added a second "inch" of cake
. Not a great choice, but I was happy to at least have the calories available. I do need to add snacks into my day. I'm not hungry so I don't think about it. Hopefully exercise will stimulate my appetite.
Exercise is the one area that didn't happen
. I got Bob Greene's Total Body makeover book at the library yesterday. Maybe that will help get me going.
