    This week, my goal was to get at least 4000 steps in daily, which I've done so far. I've also committed to actually walking with my DH and my doggie daily (he had been walking him by himself a lot as I come home later in the day), which I've been good about.

    Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. . .

    I was telling myself this yesterday when I wanted to stop riding.

    ...looking forward to the gym tomorrow....

    Do you ever stop and think, "when did I become the person who looks forward to going to the gym?!?!?

    ScrAgnX - lately that song has been an undercurrent to most of my thoughts. :) just keep going, just keep moving, just keep working, just keep on keeping on.

    So it was a happy morning - down a pound and a half.

    Day 3.
    Dear diary,
    I have not done as well as I would have hoped the last few days. I missed a workout, and ate poorly yesterday. It's not so much that I've fallen off the wagon, as much as I've fallen asleep in the drivers seat. So incredibly tired. But on the plus side, I am almost done with my crazy stress week. Due to working 18 hours a day I have exchanged my normal drive thru grub for the catered variety. Not better. I shall continue on up this mountain I call Mount Fatbegone. One slow step at a time.

    Perhaps after a nap.

    I'm sorry your day isn't going well Italian, hope tomorrow is better!

    I am not certain how my day is going yet, waiting to see if my husband gets the job he applied for! I think we are going out for dinner too. I will make good choices!

    It seems like we have all been having a rough time this week.

    The end of my major stress is in sight. I'm going to finish packing some stuff up, go out for a filling lunch with lots of vegetables, and then I'm off to camp. Where I will continue to have the stresses of being the Camp Director, but I will also have the joys of roaming through some of my favorite woods by myself for a while, and then with my favorite girls tomorrow.

    And even though I will be eating pizza, a hot dog, Frito Pie, and S'Mores, I expect that my caloric output throughout the weekend will be such that I will be okay. I am hoping to get at least 10 miles of walking/hiking in by the end of the weekend, during most of which I will be carrying around a 16 pound pack. Kind of a wienie pack weight, but it's just my hydration bladder, first aid kit, camp binder, and a few essentials - not a full blown backpacking trip's worth of stuff. :)

    See y'all on Monday, AND DON'T GO OVERBOARD THIS WEEKEND! :) Love you all!

    Wow there are so many new people! Back after nearly 2 months of reflection and working on my emotional health. My mini goal this week was to log on to MFP so goal met!

    Rough day, my boss is on holidays so I am up to bat. Got woke up by the phone at 630, got yelled at by 10, had 3 extra jobs dropped on my lap and didn't even start my own tasks till 5 minutes before home time. But I think I'm in calories, I walked for 30 minutes and I have a half a plan for the weekend

    Italian sorry you had another rough day
    Skittles glad today was good
    Craft have a great time even if your with a few thousand kids

    I'm trying my best not to complain, I really am but its so hard because I'm having issues with keeping my temp crown on my tooth until the perm one comes in. So I am sticking to very soft foods this weekend. long story short ( went to a different dentist today same company different location and they told me my crown is loose but I have to wait until Monday for my location to be open so they can make me a new mold. so I'm worried it will fall off. so sticking to yogurt and eggs and just soft foods until then )

    @Skittles2183‌ sorry about the crown, hopefully they can get you squared away on Monday morning so you can go back to your normal activities and diet.

    Oh, that really sucks! I feel for you!! I hope this gets finally corrected Monday for good!!

    Sorry I have been MIA most of this week, things have been rather nutzo here this week....I barley logged food at all, most days I would start but never got back on to finish....I did get my steps in most days, I was short on Thursday as I spent a LOT of time sitting at a board meeting, and yesterday I was training someone at work so I could not get my laps in, but Monday-Wednesday I made it, and plan to today and tomorrow.....but to the grind today!

    Went for a ride today. I didn't want to go outside because it was 30° F, but after I got outside and built up some blood flow it want so bad.

    Read some advice once that of you don't want to workout, get dressed for your exercise before making a decision either way. If, after getting dressed, you decide you still don't want to go then don't. For some illogical reason, getting dressed to go is the hard part... that was certainly true for me today.

    I can totally see that!!
