Weigh in day: Monday

Sorry for the late weigh in. Life is crazy right now and my head is not right right now. I’m not getting the help or support I need in real life and don’t want to come on here and be a downer. I really didn’t want to post this weigh in.

@bmaison2014 There is no need to be embarrassed on this thread. We have ALL been there. Sometimes life just gets in the way. I get it. And we want you to come here and share. We are all in this together. Don't you worry about being a downer. This weight loss journey isn't always smiles and giggles. Just for example, take what I did. I was at goal and in maintenance for one month and gained 10 pounds. It is all part of the learning cycle. If you don't make mistakes you will never learn. So don't beat yourself up, I am taking your stick away. Its not allowed. How can we help?6

PT went well. Sounds like I have a textbook case of shoulder impingement. Basically when I move my left arm, there is impingement(narrowing) of tendons or bursa in the shoulder from bones of the shoulder which cases pain. Good news is that I got in while I can still move everything. Apparently people wait and then PT has to work at getting the motion back. We can work now on strengthening the muscles in my upper back and stretching the muscles in my chest and shoulders. Very happy, I am hoping the xrays don't show anything since this is something that can be fixed. Good day yesterday, had a little issue with cereal later in the day which I ate because I was hungry, tired and cranky with all that is going on with my Mother. I was in the parking lot of Giant and her caregiver called me from the doctor's office. They didn't know they needed to fill out a paper for my Mom to go into assisted living. Not only did I state that when I made the appointment, I spoke to scheduler about the facility faxing the paper over, how my mother would probably not be truthful with her answers and for them to call me if there were any issues. Then I called to be sure they got the paper. No one ever answers, you always have to leave a message, never heard back, did this TWICE left numbers, explained the situation entirely and then the PA who is doing the assessment doesn't know why my Mom is there, doesn't have the paperwork, finally finds it and wants me on the phone, with my Mom in the room to say how she doesn't shower and is incontinent. Lovely. I am still annoyed. I spent so much time trying to avoid that situation. I also would have rather not been in the car and at home. Which I would have been if I knew they were going to include me in the visit. Instead I am going through a car and my Mom's caregivers flip phone. Ugh! Ok, new day, it is over..Lol! Today, exercise, get a little more done in the basement, mammogram and then taking two of my kids to the outlets. I am going to do my hunger exercise from The Becks diet solution book. For some reason, I am having trouble getting through this section so the outlets will be perfect. I know we will be a little late having dinner because you truly aren't in Philly if you don't sit in traffic from 3-7 somewhere...OK...onward and upward! Have a great day everyone. I will be in a better mood when my Mom is settled I promise! Just working on not letting this derail me.

For my word for the year-I am going to piggy back on Mrs B and say Phoenix. Which doesn’t quite fit as it is a noun but I am hoping this year I will rise from the ashes and be better than ever! And by ashes, I mean where I am now lol! I don’t want to spiral downward and start over. Sadly for 2018 I would say my word was regret, I actually watched myself gain 15lbs and just couldn't get back on track. I actually think I may have had to experience that to be where I am mentally now with this whole lifestyle. I do feel like I really get it now. Doesn't mean I don't struggle but I understand this is for life, this isn't something I will every be off of. I will just be tweeking a bit when I get to my goal. (You always make me think Mrs B! Even when I don't want to! xoxo)
@twyla77 You really are stringing along a lot of good days! Give yourself a pat on the back! Hope you are having a relaxing spa day!
@Czanut maintain isn’t bad. Your right, it is important to keep it going and not get discouraged! Your cycle has a lot to do with it too so no worries! You got this!!
@Mrsbell8well. Whoo hoo!!!! Amazing loss! You are an inspiration!
@carlsoda I am a nurse and when I was doing homecare we had so many meetings. It actually took away from the patients. Then when the mandatory meeting was over, it was always something that could have easily been sent in an email. Ugh! Glad you are keeping up with everything with your busy work schedule.
@cyndiesstuff Great job going to bed instead of caving. I guess you are really in a tough spot that you can’t or you’ll undo all you have done. Love your word. I will be happier when my Mom is settled. I want to just go now but the apartment isn’t ready. They actually redo the flooring and paint before new tenants come in. I was impressed.
@phoebe112476. Omg! You are the cutest! I guess you had game night and not movies? Or maybe I have that mixed up which isn’t a surprise You really are an inspiration. You have done so well! You went sailing right by me. I can’t even imagine the 180s. I love to see it CAN be done. Hugs!
@bmaison2014 Don’t feel that way! We are here to support you when you are down and celebrate when you are doing well. Don’t ever feel like you can not share with us. If you are not getting support at home, why don’t you try checking in here daily (or more). It really helps me stay focused. I know you can do this. Why don’t you just make mini goals to get back on track. Hitting your water, logging your food, hitting your step goal anything to start getting you back into a routine. I know you can do this! We are close in weight, maybe we can say goodbye to the 200s once and for all together!

@nstephenson01 OMG! We are going to get snow! I just thought of you when the news was on today. Lol! What shuts us down is probably nothing to you! It will probably end up being rain, seems like when it is predicted it doesn't come and when we get snow, they didn't think it was going to be bad or didn't predict it. Lol! I am not going to lie, we are going to the outlets today because I don't want to wait because of the storms.

Ok, so a slight gain this week, but not surprising! Translating those CV's means a lot of sitting down. Right now my focus is to try to maintain as much as I can, until I can focus on exercise again.
My deadline is the 25th, so I hope you guys will bear with me until then. I promise to be more active after I'm done with them.5 -

I have not been active at all and i apologize. I just don't have the energy to say everything thats been going on. But i hope everyone been doing well. Been selfish with my time to figure out how to get out of this funk7 -
@hope002 thanks for checking in. good job on meeting your goals for the day.
@sleepymom5 boy that is tough about your mom. made even tougher since she does not live near you. I am sorry about your struggles. and then when the people that are there that are suppose to help don't, it makes it almost unbearable. just tie a knot at the end of your rope. it will get better soon.
@ihp2015 we will call that a maintain. get your work done girl we miss you.
@Shirin_K balance is a very good word and congrats on day two....
@Cafelelia good job at keeping up with your goals even when your sick. that is tough for sure
@Lyssysho26 no need to apologize. it is hard when you fall into a funk like you have. but don't give up. this is hard but worth it. hope you feel better soon.

Our weather is so yucky I couldn't bring myself to venture outside for a walk so I did a Leslie Sansone video after my strength training. It was a little much back to back for this girl LOL. Last two days have been pretty good food-wise and I'm drinking plenty of water. I don't prep ahead of time but pre-planning and pre-logging my dinners helps me a bunch. I schedule my exercise and dinners in my calendar each week so each day I know exactly what I have to do.
@phoebe112476 How did your dinner turn out? It sounded great and your evening plans were lovely.
Congratulations @Mrsbell8well! You are such an inspiration!! And I love your word of the year concept... never heard of it. My word is "gratitude". I would like to live my life with more of a grateful heart. Y'all are choosing really great words!!
@twyla77 how wonderful that you and your co-workers get along and have so much fun together. Maybe its all my years working in HR but you are in a very unique situation!!
@cyndiesstuff I'm still working on the whole living with hunger thing. I still get anxious when I get hungry so I stocked up on hard boiled eggs, nuts and mandarins. Good job resolving your junk food craving!
@sleepymom5 Because of my husband's job we spent last winter in Pennsylvania (he was actually there 22 months straight so I saw all Pennsylvania's seasons). Your snow is no joke. Don't tell anyone but our winters aren't nearly as bad as yours. LOL Be safe out there.
@Shirin_K Whoo Hoo... I knew you'd get back on track!

I worked out today after work even though I didn't want to. I read through everyone's posts and got motivated. I also want to make chocolate chip cookies but im not doing it, I walked out of the kitchen and shut the lights off. I really don't want to ruin the nice dinner I had, fish,salad and potatoes and a small roll. I also used a small plate. Not sure what the scale will show tomorrow because it's supposed to be tom week. It also said low battery so I'm hoping it works.6

Oh boy...I am tired tonight! I had a good day, I really want to have something sweet but I really had a good day so I am not going to ruin it. Have a good night everyone!
@Cafelelia You are still doing well even being sick! Hope the antibiotics kick in soon. Love your word!
@Lyssysho26 At least the scale is still going in the right direction. Hope things get better . Hugs!
@cyndiesstuff Thank you Cyndie, I just want it to be over. Ugh! How far you have come too Cyndie. Almost 50lbs! I always forget how petite you are too.
@nstephenson01 You are in such a good routine. You are really an inspiration. You have such great habits and you have been so successful with your weight loss. Keep it going!
@ljdanny I am glad that you got your workout in. I think you will be happy you didn't make the cookies too. Some days are easier than others to stick with your plan. I am glad that you were able to get some motivation from MFP and stay on course!4 -

Well needless to say, I am a little disappointed with my weigh in. I don't know why it's up. My calories have been under all week. I told my scale that it was grounded because it was not being nice. I continue on because I know that the scale is no a true reflection of the work I am putting in.
@nstephenson01 you are doing really good at keeping your head in the game. wow. love your progress to your goal weight. that is awesome.
@ljdanny good job yesterday with no making those cookies. that would have been really hard to resist. what kind of fish did you have? how did you make it?
@sleepymom5 I know what you mean about the sweets. the urge can be tough to overcome. but tell yourself, I am losing weight. I am healthy. I eat food to nourish my body. postitive affirmations!!

I stood in the doorway. Dreading the trip to the scale. I had completed the morning ritual. I let the dog out, made the coffee, and stripped down to nothing. Why does that scale have so much power over me? Wait a minute, I remember, I am an addict. Not an addict that you would normally think of but an attic of weighing, measuring, and overthinking. As I walked to the scale, my heart sank deep in my chest. I want so badly for this new way of eating to work. I stepped on the scale, and the disappointment flooded my mind. That little voice inside my head (I call him ED, for eating disorder) became very loud. Told you it won't work. Whats the point of all the hard work? Just eat. Tim Horton's sounds good. You might as well give up. This is just who you are. And on and on ED went. Finally, I said, "you know what ED? Shut up". I have had enough of ED trying to take away all the hard work I have done. I have more to show than that number on the scale. I am making my body more healthy. The weigh loss will follow. This is me, standing up to ED. I will stay the course.
