Current Weight 175.9
Finally broke through 176! Only 3 more weeks until my first goal date, so hopefully I keep pushing hard through them. I would ideally like to be at 172 if I can, but 173 is ok too. 172 would be put me at 20 lbs down! After that I'll be taking a short "break" at maintenance over fall break then back to it for the last 10!4 -
Happy Wednesday Weigh-In for:
@Bendiz_
@caitlynns727 - Gotcha already - congrats on breaking through your 176 barrier!

Calories: yes
Tracked: yes
@Rocknut53 These hikes sound wonderful - I can just imagine the mountain views! How is your husband doing? Last I remember, you had to cut a trip short for illness.1 -
Yesterday was the worst day I have had in years. I had to put down my dog last night. She had either cancer or liver failure. Neither of which had a good outcome. Is she was my best friend. She was better than most humans I have met. Wound up cooking last night I made lunch for the rest of the week and had some dinner but really lost my appetite. Basically made chicken with onions broccoli and peppers with some fajita seasoning. No wraps or anything like that4

@grebber1 I'm so sorry you had to put down your dog. I know some of what you might be feeling, having once had a dog who was like my best friend, who had to be put down because he couldn't be saved.
It feels a little wrong to talk about weight loss in the context of this sadness, but I'm glad for you that you cooked a healthy dinner for yourself, even though you had no appetite. You didn't feed your sadness.
The ones who love us want us to be happy and healthy. Taking care of yourself is essential for happiness and health. When you go for a walk, run or bike ride, and you feel yourself breathing deeply and feeling good about moving, picture your friend loping along beside you, happy for you that you're outside and living life.1 -

@LesIckaBod
I just wanted to say thanks for all the time and effort you put into our group.
I've run groups before and I know how time consuming they can be.
I know you spend a lot of time responding to people's posts.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My dogs mean more to me than most of the people I know. Over the many years I've had many and had many put down. It's never easy in spite of doing what's best for the dog. My brother won't have another dog and can't understand why I would put myself through that much heartbreak. The joy and memories I have make it worthwhile.3 -

Indeed. It's so hard. Worth it so many times over tho. She was such a great lab. Irreplaceable. Some day I'll get another dog. There companionship, loyalty and love make it worth it.
Just feel so guilty tho. Just takes time I suppose1 -

One of my current dogs is a lab, love the personality. The one before her was a lab and developed uncontrollable seizures, right after we had put our 15 year old border/Aussie down. It took me about a week to start looking for a new dog. In April we adopted a mutt from an organization called Rez Dog Rescue. They find unwanted litters of puppies on the Indian reservations, get them healthy if they're not already, vaccinate & neuter...all for $150. So yea, I'm dependent on my dogs. It does take time to get over losing one, and you will never forget her.1 -

@inshapeCK Thanks for these kind words! It's a little scary taking on this "captain" role (who I am to lead this?) but it's not so bad to enter weights into the spreadsheet and say nice things to people! Thanks for this, and way to go on reducing a bit from last week. I always kind of feel like maintaining is a bit of win -- at least with whatever's going on in life, you're not gaining, right?1 -

Sept 20
Tracked: Yes
Calories: Yes, under
Exercise: Yes, counting 15 min on treadmill and walking around outside and playing frisbee with my little dude
NSV: I pack my boys' lunches each day, and in one of their 2-compartment lunch containers I always put veggies on one side and some kind of carb thing on the other: pretzel chips, veggie fries, goldfish, etc. Maybe not the healthiest for them -- I really need to get some new ideas for packing lunch. But the NSV for me is, I have all these bags and boxes of those darn snacks, and I manage to get through the day without eating them all up myself. They don't even register as a choice for me.3 -

Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
LONG walk again today. 30C (86F) again in Madrid during the day.
Went "El Rastro" Market. Got a couple of tassled shawls for my wife (her request of what to bring back from Spain).
I realise why I don't like markets (Too many slow moving distracted people. Too much noise. Too much choice.). I don't go shopping, I go buying. Browsing for me is stressful.
@craigo3154 Thanks for sharing the beautiful picture from Madrid! Sounds like a challenging trip in some ways, but also a good one. Safe travels back home!!
Also, I thought about what you said here about markets, and I generally feel the same way. But then I thought that maybe for some people, walking through the market is like going through a anthropological museum where you're looking at the handicrafts and artifice of a people. I suspect people in general don't view markets consciously that way, but I think I could do that next time I go, and maybe it would be easier to handle.
