View JULES62's food & exercise for this day
For the life of me I cannot seem to get myself under 260. I joined CK in early April and have only lost 10 lbs. I know...better than gaining 10. My weight on the scale swings 4 lbs. on any given day. And whats more I have not been disciplined. Monday through Friday I do great for breakfast and lunch. It goes down hill for me after that. I am still drinking too much alcohol also. Had some wonderful mango margaritas! But not so wonderful on the scale. I feel tired and lazy and generally feel like forgetting this whole weight loss thing. I won't, but I sure feel like it.
At least I have been getting out on my bike for 5 miles everyday no matter what my pain level is. Plus I have been swimming a couple of times in the neighbors pond. It's quite a workout to swim to the raft thats anchored out in the middle and back. I am definetly not the strong swimmer I used to be.
I went and worked on my bronze levels this morning while I was feeling very discouraged. Still went and had some homemade pizza we made last night. At least it was homemade. The only real calorie killers were the cheese and thin crust. The rest of the ingredients were ok. Guess I am going to guesstimate the calories for the pizza on the high end to be safe and log everything else in I have for the rest of the day. I MUST be more diligent in logging and making better choices. And.....I also should stop beating myself up for these set backs. I will also try to have more positive and upbeat blogs. It's the law of the universe that positive attracts positive and negative the negative. I don't want the latter.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day! Remember the fallen who have sacrificed it all for us. Peace...be with you.

Margaret you are right about that alcohol. It's one of my biggest draw backs. Your doing great! I would love to be under 200. someday I will be. My brain says to push through and do this a.s.a.p. The rest of me says ugh! My pre-conceived time on this is about a year or so. I hope that doesn't keep getting pushed back. Thanks for your encouragement.

It's all about the choices we make. It is easy for me as a non-alcohol drinker to realize how many calories the drink is and how I'd much rather eat that many calories than drink them. My sister does drink occasionally and even she has cut back to a couple a week. We don't talk about it, but I see her daily food chart and I know she has cut back. I used to be where you are and now I'm around 193--but it took 3 and a half years. So make good choices, keep up the biking and swimming and you will see results.
