Hi all!! Well, I just had a week of such gluttony, I am lucky my weigh in was only - ONLY - up 4.6 lbs. Hopefully I can finally get back in the grove and today’s “fresh start” will actually be just that - a fresh start.
Dawn - I used the Yes.Fit program for my virtual race. I finished the miles with walks and daily steps. The race sign up, and medal, plus shipping and handling cost just about $22.00. There is an option for a monthly membership to get access to more races and discounts, but the races available for the no membership option are plenty, reasonably priced, and the required miles are enough that it’s going to take a long time. One race was about 150 some miles!! Sure, I could walk just to walk, but the reward of the medal was pretty cool.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!! We have sun today... hopefully the temps will continue to stay on the cooler side.

Yes...the hours are correct... they thought, if they start earlier, maybe less traffic issues... so many people trying to look at site and check out at same time, lots of congestion. I'm sure, people will get up early and it will still be busy... but, maybe not quite so bad... thanks for your interest

Runa - thanks for the info... that is a good price. I will have to look into it. I've done Zombies, Run! a couple times. It's free, unless you upgrade. I enjoy it, but there's not really an end goal. Weather has been my issue, mostly. Then, loss of motivation... having a goal and, a prize at the end, would help with motivation...
Lana - hugs to you
Sara - I had to laugh at your smoke comment
just a little relaxation 0 -
total steps today 10007 had to wander around the parking lot for awhile, but it was no nice out that it was not difficult.

SUNDAY
Good morning,
Dog up and fed. Her physical last month the blood work machine was not working, so she goes in today and gets dropped off to get blood work done and glands. Dawn - you have a good idea what this is like.
Not too much on tap today, but will be in kitchen cooking for part of it.

Oh, goodness no. In the weeds is just an expression of being overwhelmed, off-track, out of control. It comes either from golfing or being in a boat along a river that has reeds and other growth along the sides....as in Florida in the Everglades, or what's left of them....1 -
First cup of coffee, and already I've wasted and hour on this computer doing nothing healthy or useful.
Sara - I bet your kitchen will smell very nice today!
I'll be back later, when mood improves. DH is weighing me down with bad vibes.
I am grateful for sun today, a heating system that works, food in the fridge for a nice, healthy Sunday brunch and.....much more. They say if you count your blessings and have gratitude, it will help your spirits.

Anti - DH spray coming Lana's way covers up and deters lotsa pesky things
Sara - I know lots about blood work, and machines not working. We have 2 machines (centrifuge) that spin blood... just got 1 back from being repaired... tried to use it other day and wouldn't work... panicked, didn't wanna tell Doc it broke again... luckily, co worker discovered it was button on outlet that had popped... thank goodness... that would not have been fun to give bad news... hope all goes well with Miss T...1 -
Good afternoon everyone
Sunday and now it's 12pm
Today is my last 2 to 3 week slump from eating to excess like a fool. Starting back tomorrow. I bet I regained 15 lbs from my initial loss of 47 pounds.
I'm ready to take my health seriously, AGAIN.
In a somewhat slumber/funky mood today, I was supposed to go to the zoo with the family today but I just didn't want to go and now I'm home alone. I know I disappointed everyone but they've disappointed me several times throughout the years also.
I'm tired of being the honorable great know it all father, man of the family all the *kitten time. I want to sulk and feel sorry for myself also. I told my wife she let's everyone get over, disappoint her except me. I'm no hero!!!
They're sending me pictures, glad their having a decent time.
Ohh well, I won't bother y'all any longer with my venting (today anyway) ha.
I think I'll fast tomorrow to kick this eating better off with a clear system.
Bye for now.3 -
Exhausted today. I've been making Mondays stay at home days since we do so much on the weekend. Have been eating at maintenance as I'm adjusting to hotter weather (moved recently), but will try to eat below calories today.2

Good evening,
10025 steps and sleeping is much easier...... Miss T has an impacted gland and we have an appointment in 2 weeks on a Sunday- luckilly to see if it is full in 2 weeks.... Dawn knows very well of what I speak - very not good smelly stuff so no details for the rest reading.
Stewarm, if we dont take care of ourselves, who does? Can a long walk with time alone be a good way to get some excellent exercise and so "me" time? Just a thought. Food is sometimes a "go to" but as we all know it cant be always. Hope your fast tomorrow helps.
Okay, brain cells swirling around the flushing toilet, time to call it a night. I have a 3am note to myself Dawn.......
Wishing all a good night.2 -
Sara - that is no fun for Miss T. I haven't seen a lot of gland issues, but I know it's not fun. Hope she is ok and all good in 2 weeks. I'm excited for the sale. Not sure how early I will be up to check it out.. Thank you! 0

Good morning,
Weight up .8 but the extra hot chocolate and bowls of pretzels....... will keep walking the steps. I think of Saltine and all her steps - I will never get there, but I can at least start.
Dawn - order placed, nice to be able to put my early routine to good use. Took 10 minutes. Kathryn some good stuff there, found some good Christmas scents - also think stocking stuffers.
Last time dog had this issue it had to do with diet, so she may have to be cut back on soft food. We shall see.
Oatmeal is ready, so with any luck that means a longer nap before dog walk.
Casual attire at work this week, so taking advantage. They handed out t shirts from last year last week, so now I have 3 work t shirts to wear.

Good morning, all!
I'm on vacation today. Back to work tomorrow and Wednesday, then off again Thursday and Friday. Weird, I know, but that's how events fell for me. Had to take a couple of days here and there to honor commitments.
We went to the Moose Lodge on Saturday for the Alabama-Tennessee game. There was a huge spread of food: hot wings, fried chicken, chicken strips, mountain oysters, chili, french fries, shrimp. I took homemade ranch dip and a tray of veggies. Before we left the house, I made a half cup of garlic dill dip and portioned out some celery and almond butter for me. When we got there, I chose half a cup of broccoli off the tray. That's all I ate and was perfectly happy with that.
Having actual health limitations seems to keep me more mindful of my eating. Hoping I can maintain this way of eating for the rest of my life so I can live the rest of my life for a very long time.
Waving to all! Have a great Monday!

Lived through the Jeep Jamboree but the Jeep did take on a bit of damage. We did NOT do any easy trails this time. All the jostling, bouncing, and bumping around not to mention all the climbing in and out has left me very sore today.
They had a lot of "comfort foods" as usual served at Jamboree. I tried my best to pick the healthier items. (Other than the cookies & cream pie, anyway) Today I am very puffy and swollen from all the excess sodium & processed foods. I did not stop for fast foods on the trip down or back. I took protein bars since they are easily handled while driving. They did great filling me up to prevent trips to any drive thrus.
Amusing discovery - the bouncing around in Jeep is read as steps by FitBit. I guess the "impacts" and moving in a linear direction make it think I am walking or jogging or something. Either that or I am getting a LOT of steps in without noticing - and somehow I doubt that!
This will be my first full week with the lower calorie count. Will see how well I can keep to that! Hope I can and that it bumps me off my plateau.2 -
Sara - it was nice to wake up to an order, this morning. Glad you were able to view the sale and find something you like, without it being a hassle. Thank you so much!
Kathryn - I've noticed, my pedometer on my phone, tends to count steps in the car, when going down gravel roads... interesting... glad you survived the weekend.. hope damage isn't too severe...

Hi. I'm a serial starter. I've been on MFP with regularity since the birth of my 2nd son. He's 5. After he was born I lost about 35lbs on here. Then I fell off the wagon. Then I got pregnant with #3 son and decided to eat whatever I wanted since it was my last pregnancy and the only one I didn't have horrible morning sickness.
So, after #3 was born I stopped and started about 20 times. Usually once a week or so. I'm now as heavy as I was about 6 months in to my last pregnancy. Over the past year or so I've also started binge eating...which has never been a problem before and I'm 40.
After buying a pair of pants yesterday in a size sufficient to shame me for the rest of my life, I'm back. I know this works. I need to stop making excuses: stop using my kids and job as an excuse. And I need to find some balance. I never was good at balance even before kids.
My goal this week is to log everything that enters my pie hole. I'll try and stick to my calorie limit too, but if I mess up I want to at least be able to say that I logged everything I ate and held myself accountable. Wish me luck.5 -
okay, enough for one night

Sara - glad you had a second choice! I got an order from someone I didn't even know! Turns out, I know someone that knows her. But, still cool to have a new customer! Keep walking! Good way to look at things...I need to get that into my head, too...
Enterdanger- welcome! This is a great place to come for support and encouragement! Stop by when you can...0 -
Steps 11429 and did not have to walk around parking lot!
Dawn, I cant wait to start my seasonal scentsy's - I will have 3 warmers so I can alternate - loved the sales prices too. Thank you for letting me know - good job increasing your customer base.
Shower, good book and lights out.
Wishing all a good night.2 -

Hello all. Finally time to get a post in. Got to see my daughter from Colorado this weekend. Great seeing her. Last 60 degree day probably in months yesterday so I got lots cleaned up in the yard. Took some time from work to do that.
Kathryn - Jeep Jamboree sounds rough. Not sure my body could handle it (: Glad you had a good time!
TilliesMom - hope that gland resolves soon. Those are YUCK.
Stewarm - I agree take care of yourself and that will help you take care of others
Runa- great medal!
Lana - being thankful is important.
to all - hang in there - it is Tuesday already!

Sara - I always love sharing great deals! I have 3 warmers.. one is the Christmas Boston Terrier... yes, he is already on the shelf. I did find, a really yummy new scent. Amber Hollow. It smells like cedar.... it is so nice....SO really likes it and, he's pickier than me...
Lana - waves to you as you run thru ... hope your day is good..
Lynn - glad you got to see your daughter. We were almost 70°, yesterday.... today, low 60's.... Will be having 1 or 2 nights in the mid 20's... not looking forward to that... but, wood stove is keeping house nice and toasty 1 -
Happy Tuesday! Did NOT have to go to satellite office today so it is a very happy Tuesday for me!
Lana - **wave HI to you as you run through**
Sara - you certainly get your steps in!! Maybe I should start posting mine for accountability. I always spray shoes I get with a waterproofer like Camp Dry. not only makes them shed water but also tends to keep them cleaner longer for the most part.
Dawn - Christmas decor out already?! I dont even have all my Halloween stuff out yet!
Lynn - typically Jamborees arent rough. it was just the trails that DH decided to go on this time that were rough
Tried a Nourish Bowl for lunch today, Thai Spice. Not bad, but not a favorite either. It was filling though. May try another flavor another day.1 -
Kathryn, I get the Monterrey Risotto - steer away from hot sauce and cilantro - its not bad would not want it every day......1
-
Thanks Sara! I will check if they have that at the local store!

Just popping in to say Hi, not much going on with me. My weight is maintaining around 180, I need to get at it and get it into the 170's. My goal was 170 by September because I know the winter is hard for me. I just need to be more disciplined!
Busy crafting for the first fair, hubby is slow on the uptake this year and it's frustrating me.
Have a great day all
