    I am so excited! Yesterday I taught my first water aerobics class! Me! I did it! I never thought that anyone would be interested in heavy set me teaching an exercise class. I did it as a sub for our regular teacher, but I have an interview on Friday to teach weekly.

    I am feeling so happy on this weight loss/back to optimal health ride. It seems like things are falling into place to keep me in a healthy mindset long after I stop losing weight.

    I just had to share with a group of people that would understand. I texted my mom and she sent back a 'that's nice'. Clearly she didn't understand how excited I was.

    Thanks for sharing! I love hearing these stories, I'm sure we can all relate. The mindset thing. I think it's really helped me more since joining a group where we can share our daily lives, our ups and downs. Congrats, Momma!

    @jcgator2016 ^^this 100%! We all have successes and struggles, and it's nice to have an outlet for it when we don't do so well, but also the other side is when we have a success and get to share it, it's super exciting. And hearing these stories is motivating, good or bad.

    Exercise:71 mins weight training, 40 mins walking

    Comments: I finished my workout today, despite my doubt that I was going to, and tomorrow I am sure I will feel it, but I feel great since I finished it. I don't pay too much attention to what I'm doing, I just follow my trainer's plan and I didn't realize until I got to the gym that she had me down for 6 sets of 8 today at 73%, phew that was a bit harder than I was expecting!

    Tracking yes
    Calories yes
    Exercise yes. Physical therapy 30 min.
    Carbs no 🤢
    Since Aug 1st, the day I had my knee replaced, when I take my pain medicine, I have to eat something. Because I have been
    nauseous so many foods just are not appealing so I just couldn’t cut the carbs down without feeling well. I finally am feeling better and hope to make my goal of less carbs.

    Calories: Over😓
    Exercise: No

    Today is/was rough. Every night this week so far, including tonight, my daughter (6 months old) has been randomly waking up crying. I give her a pacifier and she knocks right out, except it seems like it’s been happening at least 15 times throughout the night😓 I also had a dentist appointment today and my jaw is pretty sore. I’m just so exhausted so no workout for me today.

    @Keri8680 I've learned to just accept it when a good thing happens :smile:
    I am sorry to hear about your grandma, I know how hard that is, I was right there 4 years ago. September is always a hard month for me.
    Stay strong.

    @SLIMn2016 I am sitting here fasting, I'm really hoping that tomorrow's weigh in with my trainer reflects all my hard work again this week. I vowed to lose 5 lbs this month and I'm not there yet, grr. Hoping for a miraculous 2 lb loss this week, lol.

    AHHH me too Ashley!! I was at 7lbs down then skyrocketed back up! BLUB BLUB BLUB---water shift I hope--- :D I'm also hoping for 2 lbs lost (of the 3 that I gained last week that is). I keep saying I'm going to get a trainer--so I don't have to go it alone, but I'm too chicken! :o:s:D:D:D:#:)
