Non-scale victory of the week!

broke down all of the empty boxes in basement! I was finally healthy enough to do that.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I weighed in later today because I had someone over earlier to fix an electrical problem so I ate, drank and carried that to the scale. I’d like to weigh earlier to reflect my true weight loss.

Non-scale victory of the week!

With the start of the holy season before Easter, I have made the commitment to not eat any unhealthy snacks until Easter. the first day was tough and showed me that I have been snacking constantly. I retired at the end of last June and have not been active since. I am on meds and want to get off of them and get healthy to live the life I have always dreamed I could have. I’m already down from 321, so I’m on a good path. DietBet with take me farther on this journey than I can achieve alone.

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

I need to exercise now!

What do you feel you could have done better this week?

Lordy, my eating was pretty bad. While I did eat more veggies, I also ate more crappy high fat, high calorie items. I have a snow day off of work today and probably tomorrow, so I’m going to make sure I at least get some fruits and veggies in along with the fun foods
