@PackerFanInGB Praying for you too! Good luck!!2

The first part of the weekend was very nice. Time with family and a great date with hubby. Yesterday was really rough for me, but it finished better than it started. That may not be saying much but it's something. Small victories. Even with all that went on I stayed reasonable with food and made it out to walk/hike one day which is way better than the past 2 weekends.
JFT Monday
- Get up and go to the gym
- Breakfast <300 cal
- Drink 1L of water before soda
- Go apply for a new passport. My old one is expired. People at work think I have an interview because I fixed my hair & makeup.
- Start Lab trials
- Lunch <300 cal
- Leave by 4:00 so I can walk/hike before picking up the kiddo from theater practice
- Pick up at 6:00
- Finish up the laundry
- Dinner with the family
- Take youngest to tennis lessons, or maybe have oldest take her.
- To bed by 10:30!!! I mean it, 10:30!
Went to be a little late last night, 11:00, but didn't get to sleep until around 1:00 when hubby finally came to bed. That combined with DST made 3:30 come way too early. I gave myself another 30 min then another 15 min then FINALLY dragged myself out of bed and got ready to go to the gym. I wasn't feeling it, but usually once I get there and get started I'm good. No such luck today. I only made it about 10 min on the Precor/Arc Trainer thing and my asthma triggered. This almost never happens unless I'm running outside in the cold, I'm doing hill sprints or something really taxing. So I get off take a few to get my breathing and HR under control and start my leg workout. I'm still a tad shaky, but leg press was ok, hamstring curls are ok, leg extensions I start getting queasy, but I push through. Calves, so so. By the time I got to inner and outer thighs I was rough. I finished those and just couldn't do kick backs. I was dizzy and nauseous. I think I laid in the locker room for at least 10 minutes before I felt well enough to drive home. It sucked, the quality of my workout was poor and I didn't even get to core. It's possible it was blood sugar from the symptoms (shaky, queasy, dizzy), but I think I might just have been exhaustion. Either way when I got home I ate 2 Tagalong girl scout cookies and wiped out most of my calorie gain. If I'd slept and skipped the cookies I'd be in the same place. UGHHHHH!
Anyway...
@toaljasa It sounds like you had amazing time with your daughter. You make me tired just reading about all of the cooking (which means cleaning) you did. It's really great that you can send a little bit of love with her when she goes. My kids know I can cook like 3 or 4 meals (2 are family recipes I've taught them) but that I can bake anything. Luckily my hubby is a great cook. He is who will have to make their "to go" containers.
@Faebert You inspire me almost daily and remind me of the women I used to be. The woman I hope to rediscover a better version of.

Well I was planning on getting fully bank on track yesterday but really didn’t feel well. My stomach was really upset and I ended up even having a two hour nap.
Today is a new day.
I’m going to try to get caught up reading posts this morning.

Every year from Halloween until New Years I seem to gain weight. It is a combination of seasonal depression/ missing loved ones (having lost 4 of my siblings who I was very close to), and just missing the big family get togethers. Upset with myself, but I feel uncontrollable in this ... this is one of my main goals to learn this new year.

Feb 1, 2019: 201.6
Feb 8: 206.6 --- my own fault.
Feb 25: 204.2
March 4: 205 - joined WW for 3 months to kick start my weight loss.
March 11: 201.4
Non-scale related goals 2019:1. learn how to stop/control binge eating
2. learn how to manage stress/emotional eating
3. keep up a gratitude journal everyday
4. consistently learn and be better at planning meals for the week .... make this a regular thing to do
5. consistently continue with exercising 5x a week. Be more confident in how I look.
6. make drinking water a daily habit ... not something I have to work at.
7. Reach my goal weight .... then learn how to maintain it!! -- DO not gain weight at the end of the year!
Weight goals 2019:Feb: 200 -- Almost made this goal!
March: 195
April: 190 -- 1st Mini Goal in time for our 43rd wedding anniversary!!

Do you just come here to antagonize? I’m not familiar with your history but it seems to me you are just being nasty. I personally love this group and everyone in it, you obviously don’t, so why keep posting.7 -
I am having a hard time working full time, and finding the energy to take care of myself. Last week I traveled three days for work and got completely off track. This week I am travelling every day. I was sick all weekend with a migraine, so clearly my hydration is off. So I guess my word for the week is perseverance.
Monday:
1. weigh in
2. 10,000 steps
3. Track liquids, at least 8C water
4. Go to gym--cardio/weight workout
5. No social eating at work0 -

I started this group several years ago ... in hopes to help not only myself, but to help others to help achieve their goals towards a healthier life. And along the way, I have met the most awesome group of people. We all support each other, we all encourage each other. There is never a negative word said about anyone ... and that is what I want this thread to remain.
So if anyone on here wants to come on, and post their goals, but yet criticize someone, you are not welcome to join this group, and I will flag you, and notify MFP. I don't want to do this, but I also want this thread to remain as it has been for the past 3 years ... friends all encouraging each other to better our health.9 -

ER. So I made the most of my waiting and got up and began
Low impact workout, and building my steps on my Fitbit.
Took her home, then I came home and cleaned out the car before

to be done. And I'm drinking water while logging this.
Love you ALL and good night.

Was a pretty good day. I got a call from the doctor. Some of my levels are high so I had to go for more labs today. Makes me nervous when this stuff happens. I think there will always be a part of me who is afraid of the cancer returning. 😕. Wish my head wouldn’t always go there! Ugh! I know they’re just being on the safe side though and it’s all going to be fine!
Another good day of logging and no added sugar! I ate my 1 lb of fresh veggies with freshly ground peanut butter on the celery for lunch. Never thought I’d see the day I’d eat 1 lb of veggies over a candy bar. WINNING! 😁
I’ll hop on tomorrow morning with new goals. Have a great evening! ❤️3 -

You are an encouragement in making good solid food choices. Your energy is up. Your countenance is oozing through the computer I am sorry about the wait time re: the doctor. The fear of the unknown can be debilitating if we let it. And I've let it far too often...your mind goes completely out of whack in the imagination area. Heartbeat goes up. It's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad feeling!!! BUT. You are keeping busy. You are choosing to keep focused on staying on the path that has been laid out before you. And as a Believer, no doubt you are casting your fears on Him because He cares for you. (1 Pet. 5:7) Praying for you.

So many smiley faces and wins on here yesterday - great to see everyone smashing it or getting back on track.
Had a good day myself. Only goal i didn’t hit was my early night, which is annoying as I am tired this morning and feel exercise will be a struggle. Bf phoned just as I was about to go to sleep and I didn’t want to ignore him. Ended up falling asleep mid-conversation again which always annoys him. But he knows my routine so I’m not sure why he insists on phoning late!
Anyway, on to today. It’s rainy and miserable and I was planning to run home at lunchtime for my car to go to hot yoga after work. Hoping it’s dry by then but either way I really want to make the class this evening. My parents are picking up the kids and taking them to dinner, bless them, so it should all work out.
