Good Morning!!!
Doing great this week staying OP with eating. Last night I added a 2 mile WATP and a little walk at work. Going to eat out this evening so will be using some of my weekly points.
Ruth: Good job going to the gym when you couldn't sleep. Boosted walking involves higher impact moves like jogging and bumping up the other moves to make them higher impact.( usually a faster pace) WATP is walking( marching in place) side steps, knee lifts, kickbacks, kicks. Those are the basic moves. Some of her DVDs add dance steps too.
Nancy: Good job staying in LT weight and not having to pay at WW.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

Good Morning Wakers!
Yesterday I did my HHs, marched in place 40 mins = 2 mi last night while watching TV, green zone pts, JGTB. The previous day did 3 mi, JGTB & green zone pts.
I was up early this am to drive in rain to downtown LA for work & have walked a half mile.
I'm doing well with my "no compulsive eating" Fight For It Feb. Also saying "no mindless eating." It's interesting. So far it's working well for me. I always thought that was too vague as a goal, so my goal was "red zone pts or fewer." Now I'm trying out this "no compulsive eating, no mindless eating" for Feb. Still counting and tracking points for awareness but it's not my main focus. So far I'm noticing that the shift in focus is better addressing the "real issues" behind my compulsive eating - it's not mainly about the food. And that focus seems to help me be more wary about the precursor behaviors, and the trigger foods.
NANCY - yes it feels good to at least be in lifetime weight range. Way better than above it. Clothes feel better - not so tight. Also some rings are easier to get on & off and I just feel better moving around physically. It will feel even better to get to my 1st 10% since my high weight in July! GFY going for that 250 mile goal and learning by doing how good it feels physically when we do more exercise. GFY with your LT status. I've never heard of air fryer.
RUTH - GFY going to gym instead of fretting. Hopefully you'll get your sleep routine straightened out. At WW if I'm within 2 lbs of my official WW weight goal I don't have to pay to WI and get free etools. "WATP" is an exercise video series a lot of WWs like "Walk Away The Pounds"
KELLY - GFY back on track OP & WATP
Waving at everyone! Have a great day!
Cait
250/169.6/150 160.7 is my first 10% goal
WW lifetime 11/4/2003 (In range - Lifetime goal 169)
Overeaters Anonymous since 3/5/2008
My Healthy Habits: - Stick to my Plan of Eating. Aim for green zone of pts 37 or fewer; only occasionally go into higher zones, & never over 67 - Pray & meditate, read, share (12 step work) - Exercise - Work during work hours - No snacking after planned evening snack of about 4 pts - JGTB around 10 pm but not later than around 11 pm

Good morning,
Kelly GFY staying OP and getting your miles.
Ruth at WW if you are not over two pounds of your goal weight you don't have to pay and you get free e-tools. GFY on going to the gym. Is your DD still with you? Glad that you are feeling better.
Cait I am all for figuring out what works best for each of us. If that helps to stay in you zone , great! GFY on getting your miles.
I walked three miles this morning and rode the bike twenty minutes. I have to do my walk early in the morning,or I am constantly interrupted. yesterday I went to Odessa and WW and didn't walk before I left, then when I started walking the TM later I had all kinds of interruptions. So early is better for me. Nancy

Good morning. Thanks for the explanations, sometimes you can figure out things but other times you (at least I ) can't.
When I went to the gym yesterday I walked on the treadmill for 45 minutes and got in three miles. I changed it up and walked at 4.0 for 2 minutes, then 4.2 for 2 minutes, then 3.7 and a steep incline, then sometimes a jog at 4.8. So THEN when I looked at the fitbit it said 2 TWO miles instead of 3. I figured it was because the fitbit is giving me average step length of whatever and when I walked faster I took bigger steps. I couldn't believe it!!!! Even with that I got in a lot of steps yesterday so still have over 5 miles (even tho in my head i know its 6!)
Kelly, good job staying OP this week. It has been a hard week for me, I don't really do well with things changed so with DD here it kind of threw me off. DH works til 8pm a couple of days a week so I don't really eat the same then. When someone is here I feel like I have to feed/entertain them so it is different.
Cait, I think the mindless and compulsive eating goals are wonderful. We work on mindless eating at my eating disorder group. It is really hard, seems easy... don't mindlessly eat, right? Then you stop and take notice of the _____ in your hand/mouth while staring at the tv. How in the world did THAT get there? How did I not even enjoy it??
Nancy, I go to the gym because I am just way to easily distracted if I am at home. The dog, the laundry, make lunch, the tv ect.
Have a great day everyone. I am taking my dog to the park, they have a new Underground Railroad Museum opening today. There was a lot of that activity in this area and I would really like to learn more about it.
134.3/250 miles as of Feb 3

Good afternoon,
Ruth that sounds like a good workout. I live in a small town and we haven't had a gym, but last month they opened one. I am not the type to go regularly after I join. And I have several pieces of exercise equipment, so I haven't joined. I walked the TM three miles and rode the bike twenty minutes. So I have four miles today. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Nancy

Hi all. I got my treadmill. 2.0m ph I can do and 30 minutes a mile and I do 60 minutes a day. Working up tp do this every day. Eventually I would like to do this every day. And I found a space to do WATP when I get in shape too. i would lie to get to 180 by July. What I struggle with each weekday is the pastry downstairs in the activity room M thru F. I am eating 39 points to stay away from sugar. I figure if I can eat every two hours I will be okay. It is between 1700 and 1800 calories a day. I am eating finally enough protein. a day. I started today. I weigh at WW Wednesday and also go Saturday. May be bad weather to go Wednesday but then I go Saturday. i have not had one week where I did not eat pastry each weekday. I think having the treadmill and good food eat I can avoid going downstairs hungry.

Good morning. I got a lot of steps in yesterday, I took Mojo to the park and then we went to the museum, it wasn't open yet plus she isn't allowed in so I went back later and have to walk part way because the bridge is out so I parked and walked. Got 13K+ steps yesterday, yayy.
Amy, yayyy you got it!!! That is so great, walking is supposed to be the best overall thing you can do.
Nancy, I make 'gym friends' that I go to classes with. I am more of a class person, kind of lazy on my own (hate to admit that but there it is!!) YOu are really good at getting your stuff done daily.

Good afternoon,

Ruth you did get lots of steps yesterday. What kind of dog is Mojo?
I have walked two miles today, cleaned my kennel and bathed two dogs. The weather today is beautiful, 76* and suppose to be that all week. Hope so because I have a lot of work to do. Nancy

Good Afternoon Walkers! No exercise yesterday, quiet day, but I did my other HHs, JGTB & green zone of pts, barely, but I did it. I had only 1 mile on Friday, walking for work in downtown LA. I have 10 miles for the week, 6 for the month, 235.9 for the 5-month challenge which started Oct 1 & ends March 1, and 58.2 miles for the year. Re my "Focused For Feb" goal "no compulsive eating; no mindless eating," I overate on Friday night, stayed up late & ate DH's trail mix. Other than that I've done well with eating so far this month and aiming for my green zone of pts today. "Focused For Feb" update: 3 days out of 4 Today I think I'm in the running for spouse of the year - I made guacamole for DH & went to a local pub & got DH's favorite Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich & fries & brought them home for his lunch. I got the fries even though it pained me to give him this unhealthy food! Plus, fries smell really bad to me nowadays. Now I'm going to march in place during the rest of the pre-game & watch the game with him. I felt sad when I told DH I had to go out to buy him tortilla chips, and he admitted he had already bought some but he had hidden them so I wouldn't eat them before today KELLY - sounds like it was a good week. NANCY - I also am pretty sure I wouldn't go to a gym - the hassle to get there & back. Plus we aren't here in SoCal full time anyway. I like that I can exercise during time I would otherwise just be sitting or watching TV. AMY - I'm glad you can do your TM WO's again! I remember how much you liked it. It sounds like your challenge will be to avoid the pastry, one day at a time. Now that you have TV in your apt that should help you avoid the activity room. It would be a challenge for me, too. It does help me to mentally label that food "NOT MY FOOD." Now that I eat "whole foods plant-based," it's easier for me to avoid pastry - pastry has butter, sugar, eggs, and it's a processed food, not good for me for my anti-inflammatory diet. I have more trouble with salted snack foods and sugar in processed foods than pastry. RUTH - It sounds like your EDA group is helpful. GFY! I do 12 step work with other compulsive eaters, mainly online with www.therecoverygroup.org/ Although I'm still trying to get to consistent abstinence, I am greatly improved since I started with it almost 9 years ago. And GFY with the gym WO's - doing what works for you. I'm still finding "no compulsive eating; no mindless eating" a little vague as a goal but will persevere this month and I realize I need to check in always with God/my Higher Power when I'm about to eat and ask for guidance and the green light. Waving at everyone! Have a great day!
