Feeling Good Friday Maintain and Move Forward

No weight loss-nothing. I'm hovering in the same realm as I started at the beginning of the month. It was a more challenging month with preparation *another pizza night), extra nights out with drinks and appetizers, and grab and go meals. It could have been worse.  I am two and a few ounces less than on February 28th.  April's coming, another new month to set targets. Let's move on then to five other  things.
  • A project was successfully launched-wrote about that extensively but feels so good!
  • I had lunch with an old work colleague/friend and got caught up on life.
  • Met the volleyball girls and heard the details of a friends 68 day southern hemisphere cruise. She's a young retiree married to another young retiree. They were the youngest on the ship, with maybe about 30-40 other 60's and the rest in the 80-90 years. Sais said they had the night life to themselves!
  • I figured out two problems with the trip this summer, one financial and the other a scheduling issues and have worse case scenario planned should either happen. Worst case scenarios are now managed.  
  • I'm no where near ready for hosting even a small luncheon Sunday. I have a game plan though.  The weather is crap and will be brutally cold for April on Sunday. I've decided to replace a green plant that I've failed to let thrive and will buy a lily to brighten the indoors.
How about your week? did you meet your health and wellness goals. Are you a justification queen like me and have an excuse or a spin on it? Fake until you make it I say.

    Regarding weight (losing and maintaining) it is important that you find out what works best for you. What works best for me is a-130 calories daily menu spread over the whole day (that is, not the usual 3 meals but something small every 2-3 hours: a boiled egg, a banana, a bowl of soup, a piece of fish, a baked potato, etc.. ).

    Yes, there are many people aged 80-90 that go not only on cruises, but also on field trips that require a certain amount of walking and climbing. Even if some or most of them are on meds, it still looks good.

      !50 seems to be a spot where I can eat enough to not feel deprived, but budge some pounds. I just don't keep it up long enough and then back track.

      Ha ha I was just about to email you re your calorie count for all that food lol. 1300 calories is pretty good though small and often and no sugary snacks works for me too

      I rationalize by having the best of intentions.

    I did poorly on my goals. I hope April is better for me.
