247.8

Yesterday I was 247.2. I went a little crazy yesterday after getting back from Iowa City with Grandma Schantz. Why? I did so well at Kayla's. Planned meals today. Go easy at McBride's tonight. Lots of water. Get out and move around.

Oatmeal, banana, p.b., milk, chia.
Hamburger or chicken wings, cukes, tomatoes, cantaloupe.
Peach or strawberries or plum for snack.
McBride's?

251.6

New day, new week. Lots of positive choices ahead. Meal planning, healthy food preparation, fruits, veggies, salads, proteins, smoothies. Water. I've gone down .4 each day--I've lost close to 2 lbs.

This week's goals:

• Get under 250
• Plan and track all meals and snacking
• At least 7000 steps a day
• Read Anderson Method
• Stay positive

252.4

I went to see Dr. Gibbs yesterday for my prescription renewal. I was dreading it, because I had gained at least 20 pounds since a year ago and have done nothing to try to lose it. No physical activity, no meal planning, no tracking. She was pretty nice about it, encouraging more walking, using the fitbit, etc. I'm getting blood work done in a week. I hope to have a good week so the results come back OK, but I'm a little nervous.

I need to be very concerned about my poor eating habits and lack of physical activity. What am I doing to be healthy? Do I want to have to deal with diabetes the rest of my life? Do I want to be at risk for heart problems? Knee problems? No one can help me but ME.

• Re-read The Anderson Method
• Plan meals for each day
• Eat more veggies and fruits, less breads, junk food
• Drink more water
• Count calories
• Write down what I eat, record in My Fitness Pal
• Be active. Count steps. Walk at least 30 minutes per day, even if it's a slow pace.
• Be positive. 
• Use the summer to do the right things!
