Haven't done a daily check in for a while. Last week was tough. Depression was really messing with my head, BUT, I can say that I stayed on track better and got out of my slump faster than usual, thanks in large part to this group!
So far today:
Logged and under
Water: at least 60oz
Exercise: walk/jog 2 miles, still have yoga to do. Hopefully tendonitis won't flare up and I can keep jogging once or twice a week.
@eminater great loss for the month! You're doing great. Keep it up!7 -

Hey y'all
I changed my user name just now because I realized since my old username included my last name, I was really easy to search. Which was made clear to me when a random male user messaged me referring to information I had not told him.
So, old username was czvanut. New name is GingerPwr4 -
I missed a lot Lol! Thank you all for your well wishes. It meant a lot to me. I gave an update on my profile page about my Mom. In a nutshell, the move went well, a lot more work than I anticipated. I was out of the condo early and home late (usually not back until after 11pm and not to sleep until 2am) I am so tired even though I got a good nights rest last night. This is the first time in over a year that I am happy with her situation. She is finally getting the care she needs. She is also happy where she is which made things easier. I didn't do well with exercising but there really was no time or I would have exhausted myself. I did do a lot of physical work so I am ok with my lack of formal exercise. I did horrible with eating. I did buy a lot of good food but was never back at the condo to eat it. I ended up having a vicious cycle of getting too hungry and then eating junk or whatever was available. I should have planned better and brought some things to my Moms. What a waste of money but my Aunt was happy to get what I didn't eat so that was good at least. The worst part of it all, I am exhausted and do not have any motivation. I am going to push to get back on track, starting with facing the scale tomorrow. Wed new job starts and newsflash..my son moves to Houston next TUESDAY!! I knew it was coming but he kept pushing it back so I kinda was hoping maybe it was not going to happen. It is time for him to fly from the nest but to maybe a nice nest not too far from his mother. Not in Houston...Ugh! Ok, enough about me....

and team waistaways challenge this week https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10722931/week-5-team-waistaways-challenge/p1?new=1
@phoebe112476 you did great while you are away. It must have been a great feeling that you were able to manage and not gain! Thanks for the info about the e meals. I want to eat every pic you post of your meals!
@kirsten11872. Awesome loss!!Sounds like you got yourself back on track.
@mrsbell8well. All the yummy food I missed seeing this week! I like what you wrote to your friend. That’s what I need to do. Listen to my body and not my mind. Hope you did well on your interview
@cyndiesstuff I can’t thank you enough for all you support and picking up the slack while I was away. Your Saturday sounded so fun!
@eyesopennow I hope your cat situation has worked out
@shirin_k Looks like you are doing well. Did you get to start the Becks diet solution?
@gingerpwr(czvanut) you changed your name while I was posting lol! sounds like you had a nice Saturday. You’re right too. 6 pounds in a month is awesome! Keep it up! Sorry to hear about your rough week. Glad you are feeling better. It’s creepy how people are with your personal information. I need to watch myself.
@twyla77 sounds like you are doing great! Glad to see you’re checking in!
@ihp2015. Glad you are done with your translations. You must be happy. I am glad you maintained this month, I would have gained with such a stressful project. Interesting about the milk, guess it has something to do with lactic acid?
@carlsoda. I can’t imagine it being so cold! Stay warm. Glad you are feeling better!
@danananas. I am so glad that you got someone who seems to be a good fit at your job. I hope you get back to your 32 hours. Hope you enjoyed the yoga retreat and your audition went well.
@amsandos. You seem like you have been doing so well after the holidays were over.
@cafelelia I am happy to hear you had a good January! You are doing great! Good luck with your tidying. That last stage sounds hard! Love the early morning hockey pic! What a good mom!
@lennoncpa. I miss your posts but glad you checked in. I was happy to hear you are keeping up with all those goals! I like the breathing one. Especially with this busy time of year
@ljdanny Glad you are able to fit your early workouts in. You are so good with that. What is a pound class! Lmk what you think of the arbonne products. My friend keeps trying to get me to try them. I have tried so many things over the years that I don’t believe anything now lol!
@lenka1. Ugh! Hope your tailbone is feeling better. That hurts! I have done that before. Love your pics! I know you will reach your goals by the summer!
@zumba_luvah sounds like you had a good week! Keep it going!
@nstephenson01 I am so impressed that you have exercised almost everyday since Christmas. Don’t ever give up because of what the scale says. That’s what has gotten me in trouble over the years. You can do this. The hunger thing is a problem with me too. I keep getting stuck at that part in my book and can advance past it. Hope planning your lunches help you.
@cassiegetsfit2013. Belated Happy Birthday. Hope you can get back on track. You were doing so well. Hope you can see your counselor or someone who can help you. Hang in there. I hope things get better for you.
@nuggetbrain. Nice loss
@pacsnc6. Sounds like you had a lovely weekend. Everyone needs a lazy weekend once in a while.
@jedaschultz. Nice loss!
@eminater Nice loss and in onderland again! Great job in January!

Exercise: did my 28-day challenge which nearly killed me
Steps: 10,075
today was an off-day. a PR emergency at the office first thing this morning set everything back/made everyone late/behind, and the rest of the day was playing catch up! and i didn’t even get caught up, so i’m going to go in early and hopefully have a better start to tomorrow than today.
But tomorrow is the last day of my 28-Day Challenge! I AM SO IMPRESSED THAT I MADE IT THIS FAR! Seriously, i have never in my life completed 28 days of anything, never mind a work out program!9 -

I have not been a faithful poster this month, things are too hectic for me. I'll step down (see what I did there?) for February unless you can't fill up the team. Better to give someone else a shot.4 -
WEEK 4
PW 178.2
CW 176.6
LOSS - 1.6lbs
Well, I wasn’t 100% on track this week, so this loss is unexpected. Me and my partner had a curry takeaway on Saturday, it was so amazing but I felt so guilty after! I think I need to learn that it’s ok to go over calories some days, just within reason and just for a meal, not a whole day!!

Last Thursday I had my second interview. On Friday I received a call informing me that I had been chosen for the position! I have been asked to keep it hushed until the other 5 candidates have been informed. The official announcement will be made this morning at 8:30 am.
I am very honored and excited!10 -
@sleepymom5 I am so happy you are back! You have so many changes surrounding you and it’s only January. My goodness. One day at a time.
@GingerPwr I avoid Facebook for that same privacy issue. I glance to see what’s happening with my kids but rarely post. Ginger it is!!! Sorry you had a rough week. This team is amazing support but you have to check in often to benefit. Your doing great!
@twyla77 are you planning to start maintenance? What will that look like for you? Congratulations on meeting your goal. That’s fantastic!

It turns out the Happy Planner has a recipe planner as well. I ordered that last night with my extra mileage reimbursement money. I have been making such delicious dinners and I want to make sure I capture those recipes. I rarely make the same thing twice but this year I want to incorporate more of our favorites as a repeat. My recent chocolate coconut oatmeal energy balls and lemon snow drops make me swoon. And last nights garlic Alfredo sauce over zoodles and chickpea pasta was amazing!!! Robin and Skylynn came for dinner. Robin brought pesto sauce to share. The meal had no oil no dairy. It felt like a party! We do love to eat well.
Today Molly and I took a vacation day to take Dad to his medical VA appointment in WV. It’s a long drive and all day event. The last 2 months had to be canceled due to weather. Snow again today but I refuse to cancel. Taking Molly’s 4 wheel drive.
We are trying to get Molly’s mom into assisted living. 1-2 month wait. Your mom story is encouraging Pam. Molly is not sure her mom will last the week. She has no desire to live. It’s been very tearful.5 -

Daily log in for: Monday
Logged: No but probably on track
Water: 32oz
Exercise and steps: Nothing...3596 steps
I just was so exhausted yesterday. I was lazy. Today I already have been food shopping. We dropped my son's car at the shop to make sure it is in good enough condition to make it to Houston so I dropped him at work at 7am. I am going to exercise as soon as I am done here. I still don't know what to expect once work starts, I don't know my hours, days, where I am going...I am hoping that will all be made clear tomorrow. I most likely won't be on in the morning but I will catch up in the evening. Today I need to get back to hitting my small goals-exercise at least 30 min/day, 10K steps, water 64oz and log food.
@twyla77 I was thinking you had to be almost done with your challenge. Great job! You should be proud! Hope today is a little less crazy at work for you.
@Ashleigh1178 Nice loss! You are right, one dinner isn't going to ruin you, you can plan it into your day. This is a learning process as well. You are doing great! Have a good week!
@Mrsbell8well Congratulations!! I am not surprised at all though, I knew you would get it! Safe travels to WV and I will keep Molly's mom in my prayers (and Molly too) . They have had a rough few months (or more) . xoxo
@phoebe112476 Awesome loss!!
@eyesopennow We will miss you on the step team but when things get settled again maybe you can jump on another month.

@sleepymom5 welcome back! Hopefully you’ll be able to get back to normal routine as soon as possible! Don’t feel too bad about crappy eating days. They happen and will prob happen again here and there. In long term those mean nothing compared to all good days you will have! You can do it!
@amsandos I didn’t realize how close we are weight wise and goal wise! That’s awesome I’ll take you as my motivation workout buddy! 
Do you have a timeline for your goal?
I have been losing around 6lbs a month so I really want to hit 128 by mid April.
How often do you lift weights? Cardio?
I haven’t been able to lift or do normal exercise since Thursday - I’m still hurting from fall so most likely I’ll have to really take it easy this week. It sucks. It gets me frustrated and mentally down that I can’t do what I need to do... I ate little yesterday bc I was pissed and sad. Then I ended up eating some chocolate at night and felt pathetic.
It’s a vicious cycle. I need to start focusing on long term goals again and diet part. Again.

Yesterday, I got my steps and Adriene yoga in, ate healthy, drank my water, and had a fun day with the kids… it was a great day! I have both kids home again for at least next couple days because of the bitterly cold temps. We aren’t going anywhere!! Our plan is Legos, board games, and playdoh. That should keep them occupied for an hour or two lol 😊And I’ll fit in some exercise at some point!
@sleepymom5 I’m back on track now! Yes, I’m reading the book – today will be Day 5 (eating slowly and mindfully). I’m exhausted just hearing all you’ve been up to and everything coming up lol. Good luck tomorrow!
@twyla77 Way to go sticking to your 28 day challenge!!
@Ashleigh1178 and @phoebe112476 Nice losses!
@Mrsbell8well Congrats on the job!! I’m sticking to our challenge of a 6 day string to end the month well!

@lenka1 So sorry to hear you still have pain from your fall! It's tough when you have such good momentum going and then have to change things up. Hoping you heal soon and in the meantime focus on what you can control. Those before and after pictures you posted were so inspiring, you should be proud!2

Good morning all!
Yesterday was a great day - I even worked from home and calories/steps were on track and I did yoga too. My gosh I needed it - I really need to be more consistent with yoga but life keeps getting in the way! I made wild rice meatballs during my lunch break yesterday for tonight's supper, so all I need to do is heat them up and add some veggies. Working at home is amazing, I wish I could do it more often but alias I can't (boo!!)
The weather is now going to turn super cold for the next few days - I don't even think I'll go over to the mall for a walk at lunch. Today: -10, tonight -30, tomorrow -17, tomorrow night -31. Then by Saturday it will be 36! Crazy winter
OK - back to work now hope everyone has a great day!3 -

Sorry I was a no show yesterday team. Man was I sick. Feeling a little better today but still not feeling myself. I have not been eating well. I am trying to get back on track but it is very difficult. Today is a new day. I have a doctors appt. this afternoon. I am hoping it is not to serious. We got about 10 inches of snow yesterday. It was a fun drive to work this morning. Got my car stuck in the driveway in a snow drift. I had to get out the ole boys 4 wheel drive truck.
@Mrsbell8well I am so happy you got the position. Congrats! You deserve it. I wanna thank you for all you do for our team. you are always a bright spot on our page!! that pink hat is so cute.
@Shirin_K rub some of that good mojo on me. I am having a hard time getting back in the game! you are doing awesome girl. by staying on track this weekend you have given yourself some great momentum going into the last week of January. I use to love when the kids got snow days. enjoy every minute. they grow up so fast.
@Cafelelia what a great pic of you and your child! so fricken cute!! you are getting the weather after us. I am in Michigan. we got about 10 inches!
@twyla77 wow you have really strung some days together. good job. 28 day challenge complete!!! wooooowhooo.
@nstephenson01 good job at your planning strategy. it really does help. you soup sounds yummy. what I love about soup is u can eat a lot of it and you can make it very low in calorie!! I am happy you planned your week. it really does add to success by making you feel more committed.
@ihp2015 I am so glad you finished that up. we have missed your input. awesome job at maintaining during this time.
@CassieGetsFit2013 happy belated birthday. I hope you feel better soon. I know it has been really tough for you.
@amsandos ohhhh goody! look at that scale go down for you! you have been working so hard. be proud of all the hard work you have done!! love your nsv!!
@carlsoda ok girl back on track. you got this. sometimes life just happens and you can't help it. wow. your day was great yesterday. your meatballs sound yummy. stay warm! it is going to be frigid!
@NuggetBrain wooooo whooo nice loss. keep up the hard work. how are you doing?
@pacsnc6 I love that you are working your puzzles. have you been keeping up with your water too?
@jedaschultz nice loss for you this week. you ended January on a high note. onederland is right around the corner. look out February!!
@sleepymom5 I am so glad your back. I am going to step down from the step challenge. I will let someone else step up. at least now your mom is somewhere where she will have constant care. that has to be a huge relief. new job tomorrow. your stomach must be a bundle of nerves. I feel your pain about your son's move too. my son moved to florida. you just start hitting you daily goals again and you will catch right back up to where you were. no stress eating!!!
@ljdanny good luck with your new diet plan. I hope it works well for you. and I love all your exercise. that is so good for you! you are becoming very healthy.
@eminater omgosh!! you made it to onederland! yes! cyndie is doing the happy dance for you. today, you are my motivation to get back on track! good job.
@GingerPwr I like your new screen name! winter has a way with making people get depressed. I as well have been struggling. good job getting back on track. give yourself huge credit. you have done so many positive things to further you to your goal. I am glad you changed your screen name. don't need no crazy stalker people!
@bmaison2014 I am glad you maintained. how are you feeling? are you getting back on track?
@Ashleigh1178 nice loss. you are doing awesome. and your right. it is a balancing act for sure. just something more to learn. you got this.
@phoebe112476 yayayayya! I am burning some calories now with all this happy dancing! awesome job. how is the yoga going?
@lenka1 make sure you give your body enough time to heal. that is all part of this get healthy plan. don't work yourself into the ground. take it slow and easy till your better.
