Recap M 6/3 Brrr! Temp was 39F (3C) when dog and I left house this morning ~ wore lined jacket & gloves in June. But sky was beautiful blue with very few high clouds and we watched two deer run across road not 50 feet in front of us.
1) Walked dog 3.46 mi 1:01:39 before work & stretched after = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 14,504 steps, 250+ 14/14 boom! and 38 floors
3) Meals & snacks prelogged & have wiggle room / net calories zero / 14c water / log G/B/U = Net cals -158
(hungry & needed evening snack), sodium -400, sugar green (yay), fiber ok, protein excellent, 14c water
4) Don't dwell on multiple online issues with prof org & lack of timely online support ~ do what I can and wait for response from somebody ~ maybe check online access from home computer to see if issues are workplace related = All tech issues apparently stem from moving CLP Beta to live, plus related links now broken. Geez. And where is their communication????
5) Update JFT monthly goals and weekly w-i and May/June step challenges = All updated
6) Evening: hair appt.
/ check bird feeders & refill / other?
Recap T 6/4 ~ Attended annual planning meeting for prof org from 8:30 - 4:30 and 1+ hour car time. Location was a farm guest house owned by a board member's company near the river. We watched deer & turkeys from inside.
1) Continental breakfast, refreshments & lunch provided. Goal is eat sensibly & log best I can. = Ate breakfast before leaving home. Ate 1 scone at mid-morning break (yum!). Veggie salads with Asian twist & sourdough bread for lunch, followed by soft chocolate chip cookie. All made from scratch by chef on-site & delicious! Water in pitchers on table & I kept drinking. Guesstimated for food log (June challenge G/B/U) & ate lightly for supper at home. Net calories -129.
2) Didn't make time for workout before or after travel = rest day. Fitbit 4,461 steps, 250+ 5/14 & 15 floors.
3) Remembered to make lunch for W (noon webinar)
JFT W 6/6
1) Walked dog before work 3.74 mi 1:06:04 (humid from thunderstorms overnight) & stretched after = happy dog & happy me
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / pace in office during webinar / 5 somethings
3) Breakfast, snacks & lunch prelogged / look up recipe / net cals zero / 14c water
4) Follow-up tasks from meeting / contact chapter email back-up / pick up records / start testing GA-S
5) Evening: pick up race bib/shirt for Sat. / grocery shop / prep guest room for youngest brother & SIL / other?
6) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / set/verify 5:40 alarm, bed & tv off 10:20
Today's Positive Thought: So happy I have a supportive co-worker & 2-3 prof org board members for when things go haywire.2 -
@daneejela - How true about humans crossing the bridge when we are facing it. There are so many times and things in life where we say we couldn't or wouldn't and then if it happens we just keep going. What else can we do?
@ginnytez - I am so fortunate to have sisters in law that I really enjoy being around but like you live so far away. We used to be close, but not so much anymore. I just heard from my MIL that my husband's sister broke up with her partner of 13 years, I've talked to her twice since this happened and she hasn't said a word.
@maryrobinson40 - I love watching that ticker go down, and the streak go up. I am struggling to maintain my 25lb loss, I am up again. We can do this!
@Faebert - That assistant of yours sure misses a lot of work. Is she chronically ill or just catching all the bugs going around?
@Bex953172 - It's so nice to see you back on a daily basis.
@ZizzyBumble - I don't know if I would want to leave Skye, but it will nice to visit your parents I bet and isn't your husband home too?
@littleblackskirt - I used to have one of those shelves, they are so easy to change up! I also want to say that it's logging the bad and being honest that is the best thing about this site. It really opens our eyes and doesn't allow us to hide the bad. After a while the bad becomes less and less I think. (I'll let you know if I ever get there).
@korina75 - I usually walk fast running errands and I usually wander the whole store so that I can get extra steps in. Hubby hates shopping and was rushing me a bit yesterday so I didn't even get to do that. Today I am going to clean. It will at least give me activity to log today.
@aubyshortcake - Yay for meeting your goal! Doesn't that make you feel so good!
@nlmackey98 - You are doing it! Going to the gym and fighting through must be so rewarding. I love your positive thoughts. I would agree you are a great friend.
@clicketykeys - Are you almost done your courses? You just need a good break I think.
@azulvioleta6 - Happy Birthday!

@PackerFanInGB
I have never made the time to write you response I had planned, but you were in my thoughts many times after I all read about those hard things on your shoulders (parents's illness, step daughter's depression). It's very hard to feel powerless when it comes to our closest people. I admire your strenght.
I also hope that everything went well with the MRI..I am a bit claustrophobic too so I totally understand your fear. Although, we humans have this great capability to cross the brige once when we are in front of it, no matter how scary it looked a minute before. Sending you a big hug!
EDIT: I was writing this at the same time, I am glad to see that everything went well! Keeping fingers crossed for the results!
Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your insights with me. It truly is very hard to feel so powerless. I like to "fix" everything so it's been a difficult pill to swallow. It's so true that even though we don't know how we could possibly get through something, we always manage to do it...no matter what. Because ultimately, what other choice do we really have? I am trying to keep positive and have done a lot of meditating and praying over every one of these circumstances. Now, I have to let go of the reins and have faith that it will all be okay in the end, no matter what happens.
I'm sending you a big hug back! I hope you have a great day!

Totally just realized I really screwed something up at work about a month ago. Things have been bad for the past month or 2, and this is kind of big. I know how to fix it, I just don't know how to fix it and not look like a fool. So, of course, I'm sitting here and became ravenously "hungry". Pretty sure it's just a stress reaction. I had a nectarine but the vending machine is still calling. Hopefully I can maintain control and not binge as I have in the past.
I don't tell you this for sympathy, I just need to see it and share it it hopes of preventing it. Anyway thanks for being here.4 -
Casey just took her first steps! Literally just now lol!
Shes been cruising for what feels like a lifetime! And crawling mostly, then she did fhis weird thing where she crawled on her hands and feet (rather than knees) a bit like a monkey.
And just now she took 2 steps randomly and crawled the rest lol!8 -

Go drink some water and FILL UP!
Take a 5 min break and just breaaaaathe it out. And then (hopefully) with a clearer head you can figure out what you need to do!
Or own it! laugh off the c*ck up and just fix it! We all make mistakes! Is it something someone can penalise you for? I think aslong as you fix the problem no one can really complain then! After all it was a month ago and no one noticed in that time?
No snack from the vending machine will change any of this!
I know youve got this!3 -

We’ve all been there! Like Bex says, deep breath and stay calm. The only thing a binge will do is make you feel worse. We’re here if you need to vent some more or post again to keep your head in the game. Hugs x3 -

PackerFanInGB wrote: »Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the suggestions! I did good in the MRI today. I had one scan where I wiggled a tiny bit, but I have spring allergies and I was trying really hard not to cough! She said the other images were good so it was okay. I didn't panic as I thought I would, so that was really something else! I don't think I've ever been able to do a head MRI (I've had a few through the years) without being drugged. So, I'm quite proud of myself because it means I overcame a moment of anxiety and panic that I used to not be able to. Yea! You guys are the best cheerleaders ever!
Now, I will wait for my results. That's the hard part. Hurry up and wait.
I've had 2 MRIs done .. and have to say, that I rarely get anxiety, but I did with those. I guess its being in that big machine, and the noise. The worse for my though was the worse backache! I guess from lying still for so long, on that metal bed! But I am glad it is over for you, and praying the results are good ones.2 -
maryrobinson40 wrote: »WEEEEEEEE 280 days straight logging. Oh yeah. I did it y'all. I went walking tonight and my youngest grown daughter went with me. We did arm exercises while walking and lunges and SQUEEZIN our butt cheeks while walking.
Ahhh man I'm feeling it. It hurt so good.... LMBO😂😂😂. So much so I'm about to get up and go again.
I'm on a mission. That 25 pound goal has got to become a REALITY and not wishful thinking.
I have been saying no to wrong things and not settling. I'd rather not eat than to mess up all the
painful work I've put in... I'm Not telling anyone to not eat... I was just making my point is all...that
little part was more for emphasis on how serious I am, but I AM EATING y'all. Just not stuffing my
gut with fries, fried food, chips etc. Am I clear?
Anyway... That's all my posting for tonight. Going for that second walk now. Love you!!! Mean it!!
Just what I said earlier. .. you are doing great!!! Saying no is a hard thing to do .... but you are proving how its done! Those 25 pounds will come off.. but remember, they did not come on overnite, and they will not come off overnite. Its a journey! And my .. your second walk!! Great job Mary!!2 -

1. Happy birthday to me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! And ... what are cucurbits???? I love to garden also, but I only garden flowers since the deer eat anything else I plant (and they eat flowers to, but I just try and spray them).
But I hope you had a wonderful Birthday!1 -

Positive Thought: What I've learned from my past, but sometimes forget: I am capable of great things. I am stronger than I give myself credit for. I am more resilient than I thought possible. I am a forgiving person. I have friends I can count on. I can live a healthy lifestyle. I am creative. I am a good mother, daughter and wife. I defend my friends. I am a good employee, teacher and student. I am loved no matter my weight. Just to name a few
This is a great positive thought!! You have so much to be proud of ... weight is not that important when we put it all in perspective as to what is truly important!1 -
