    I am really hoping that this week is my new kickstart. I have been in a no loss but no gain rut for a month and a half. I am sure after last weeks mini-vacation I will be up some this week but I hope to stay active and eat healthy to start going in the right direction again. If not, I guess I will have to sit back and reevaluate myself.

    I am assuming your most recent mini vacay is the last for a while. And the next thing coming up is the holiday season. Ten weeks until Christmas. Go really hard until then and see what happens. What have you got to lose? (Yes, I know Thanksgiving is in there, but it is only one day!!)

    Yea ... except in 5 weeks im on a long vacation. 11 straight days starting on Thanksgiving ...
    So here’s to hoping I kick these next 5 weeks in the butt and roll momentum into vacay

    Okay. I was taking a guess at no more vacations!! So, instead, it is five weeks of going really, REALLY hard!!

    @HASWLRS We went to Victoria BC on Vancouver Island. It is a short ferry ride for us from Seattle.

    I love it there and it is definitely one of my happy places.

    I wondered if you meant BC, but I didn't want to assume!! We took a family vacation to Vancouver Island about five years ago. We flew direct from Toronto to Victoria, but only spent enough time in Victoria to have lunch on a patio overlooking the water and to walk around the Empress Hotel a bit, as I used to know someone that worked there as a pastry chef. We had our teenage boys with us, so the main activities were golfing at Bear Mountain Resort and deep sea fishing off the coast at Tofino.

    If you eat at a deficit, you will lose weight!! Keeping track of what you eat is the first step!! You got this!!

    Sorry, I have been away this week. I am guessing my weight rolled over, so will weigh in again Tuesday. Not sure how good it will be- eating on the road & not exercising regularly might not add up to the results I want! 😒

    @CCzMini, Are you back yet, Colleen? If you want to give yourself a few days before weighing in, I totally understand!!

    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercise: No -:(. My body hurts today. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be less 199 year old man feeling.

    Seriously, when does the miracle of joint aches going away happen that I keep reading about in all these success stories?

    Ok, sorry I am a day late posting. Maybe I should have waited a couple days. 😞
    Today’s weight was 211. Definitely have to get back down more by next week.
