Well that figures. I have a cold. The headache yesterday was just the start. Then just for S**** and giggles, i am having a pain flare. I spent all day yesterday on the couch and in bed. I feel like crap and I ate like crap. Oh well, new day. I have to make a menu and prep for the week today. going to make a big batch of cabbage soup.
@Mrsbell8well i don't know if you would call it an amazing amount of energy. I have extreme fatigue most days. i would say i know i got s*** to do so i do it. i would say perseverance maybe better describes it. I decided in january of 2017 that i could no longer just sit around. and ohh yeah! i felt amazing all day in those sexy jeans. the trail you found sounds a little scary to me. you be careful. ohhh no, i am hoping that the suffering for your MIL is limited. I am praying for you and your family. this is a tough time. i am glad you love your new bras. i love mine too. a good fitting bra sure can make you feel amazing.
@pacsnc6 i love water aerobics. I always wanted to put a pool in our basement! lol and what is really funny is that my guy is the same way when it comes to the grocery. he walks 90 miles an hour thru that store.
@sleepymom5 sometimes you just have to rest. just don't let it turn into a backslide. you have learned so much. new habits are hard to form, but you can do this. soon it will just be something you do and you won't have to use the energy on keeping yourself on track. i can't wait for this day.
@Zumba_Luvah ohhh my i am glad you found you grove. keep that up the scale really likes it! good job at the loss this week. i wish you would check in more too at least read the posts, you can get a lot of useful information out of here.
@gottagetthisdown how did you do on your water goal? good job at setting a goal for the weekend.
@carlsoda here in michigan we are having wind gusts and rain. it poured most of the night. the frost isn't out of the ground so the water has no where to go. i am glad your whole30 plan is working for you. i love doing my prep on sunday. it makes my work week sooooo much easier, when the food is ready and i don't have to try and figure it out on the spot.
@kirsten11872 omg look at that loss this week. that is amazing. you body seems to like IF. woooo whooo dancing and giggling for you girl!
@twyla77 starting your day with a workout kinda sets the tone for the day. good job at getting it done. it is so worth fitting it in.
@DananaNanas Dana, you are doing fine. you havn't quit, have you? But you are giving yourself permission overeat. you need to meet yourself where you are at. start with the next 24 hours. make a plan, what will you eat? make the plan totally doable, only put stuff on the plan that you, with 90% certainty, will do. then at the end of the 24 hour period, look and see how you did. celebrate the success you had and analyze your failures. if you had failures on your plan apparently you 90% certainty was faulty. you want to create small successes. they will build over time as you become more confident in your ability to make a plan and stick to it. this will create the momentum you are looking for. you need to commit to the time this will take. spend the time you are worth it.
Now i am running behind this morning because i just layed around yesterday, not saying i didn't deserve it, just saying thats what i did. i have to get moving. sick, fatigued, and in pain. my life goes on and i will show up for myself today. the cyndie that is going to have a crazy week needs me today. monday i take mom to the urologist
then, tuesday after work, i get my hair cut and colored and my eyebrows done, then thursday..... ugh thursday..... i get the biopsy of my girly parts. heres to believing it's not cancer.

Daily check in Saturday
Did mountains of bills yesterday. I was behind doing our monthlies but finally got everything done. Did mom’s pills cleaned the fridge and most of the house.
I have lots of relatives here this weekend. 2nd cousins I haven’t seen since I was a teenager. All here to see my parents. They are having a blast. Mom is cooking up a storm. There are 8 relatives staying at a B&B. Laughter all day floating up from downstairs. They are writing down my parents stories and doing genealogy. Very nice visit.
I took yesterday off of working out. I desperately needed to recoup from my long work week. Planning to cook up a storm today for the week.
@cyndiesstuff hope you feel better.
You all are like family to me. It would be so fun to all meet in person.

Water: at least 64 oz
Exercise and Steps: 45 min Leslie Sansone video and 10,032 steps
A pretty good day yesterday. My weight is up about 2 lbs now. I am really hoping it is sodium as I have been doing well. Time to practice what I preach, I won't let this derail me. I know I am doing what I should be so the scale will eventually catch up. Today is a baby shower which is an hour away so I have to go work out before. Hoping to food shop after and get ready for the week. Daughter doing a bit better each day. Just nervous what will happen when she gets off this medication. We will know more on Tuesday and she will still be home on spring break so I can monitor. That's a good thing. Everything seems fine but I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ugh! Oh well... Have a great day everyone!
@twyla77 . Good idea to get your exercise in before you sat down to work. In my experience, I never get to it once I am sucked into the computer. You really have been doing great lately!
@DananaNanas There is a commercial here for a university with Queen Latifia giving the commencement speech. There is a line in there that I think of when I start feeling unmotivated. She is talking about education of course but it fits for weight loss too. Actually, anything in life. "It hasn't been easy has it? There were days that you doubted yourself and there were days you wanted to quit, but you didn't" That is what is important, you haven't given up. Keep plugging away. Keep checking in. I know when you don't you are struggling and that is exactly when you should be checking in. Make small changes until you are back into the swing of things. You don't have to jump right back in. I highly recommend those phit and phat podcasts that @phoebe112476 turned us onto. You can do this! xoxo
@cyndiesstuff Hope you have a better day today. Take care of yourself. xoxo Thanks for all your support! You are like I have a personal cheerleader Lol!
@Mrsbell8well What a nice visit for your parents and a great idea too. Sounds like you had a productive Saturday. Keeping Molly and her mom in my prayers.

saturday check in
food on target
water on target
exercise 9888 steps
fancied some chinese yesterday so I had some and took it out of my calorie budget. I don't have high hopes for my weight in tomorrow as I have come on my period and I am usually a bit heavier. Although if I don't lose I will get a bumper loss next week so that will be something to look forward to.4 -
Saturday check in
Food calorie wise was good but low on protein
Water - good for a weekend
Steps - 10,000 ish but no yoga
Yesterday was a fun day - we waited and waited for the snow to start but it rained pretty heavy until 4:00 pm then the snow finally came. What a blessing we only ended up with like 5 inches of snow! Today is super windy but at least not freezing cold. Planning to just hang around the house and let the road crew do their work!
Yesterday let’s see, I organized most of my closet Marie Kondo style, cooked and cooked and cooked, had a cat sleeping on me for about an hour. Yeah - fun day!
Today I need to do some sewing - retrofitting a dress I bought at a consignment shops (Talbots 100% wool long dress) for 2 bucks but there is a strange bow tie thingy around the neck I am going to shorten and make into a draped scarf instead. It will be super warm for next winter! Oh and I need to do yoga, my body is telling me so!
Have a great Sunday!2 -
I haven't had much time to chat. The barn project has taken priority over all other things. I've been really active, good on steps and logging as much as I can. Mostly I'm trying to listen to my body and feed it nutritious foods as much as possible. Nonetheless my weight is up 2 pounds this morning. My husband and father in law are putting in really long days so dinners are heartier than usual. FIL doesn't have the adventurous palate my husband does so I'm cooking a lot of basic, manly meat and potato type stuff. Friday I made my mother's spaghetti recipe... I know I went a bit overboard that night but it was such nice comfort food. Although FIL has mellowed in his old age he has very definite opinions about certain things. I learned a long time ago not to engage in his vitriol. I may have turned on the exhaust fan over the stove a couple of times to tune him out... I'm very grateful for the help he can provide my husband... I sure can't do that type of stuff. They hope to have a roof on the barn at the end of the week and I'll be glad when FIL can return home.
Exercise is scheduled in my calendar for the week and I'm planning dinners. Gotta head out and take some water to the guys. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone. Get those plans in place for the week!!3 -

Well, yesterday was a pretty good day. I am almost finished with the cross stitch kit - just have back stitches to outline everything. I walked around the house A LOT as it was still cold and gray outside. Watched UNC beat Duke in basketball last night (yay!)
I woke up way too early - 5 AM - and couldn't go back to sleep so I read for an hour or so. I ate too much but it didn't really fill me up too much - maybe just higher calorie than I usually eat. I was feeling sleepy by 9:30 so I lay in bed reading for a while, asleep by 10. Must have been really tired as I slept until 8 this morning.
Today is warmer but still gray outside. Took a walk to check out the new house being built nearby. It is three stories with a garage and storage on bottom. Would not want to have to climb all those stairs several times a day!
Here's to a great Sunday and a new week.2 -
sunday daily checkin
food on target
water on target
exercise 90min run
Listening to PNP as I did my food prep and I was reevaluating my list of changes that I am willing to do. Not eating the LO's leftover has gone really well as has drinking my water apart from that blip on the one day but I caught up. So I have set myself some new goals. Goals that I felt were too difficult last week are seeming more possible. 1. leave at least fork full of food from every meal to get me used to not clearing my plate. 2 have a 15 minute break after class before going back to the office or if I am on an office day taking at least 15 minutes to have a lunch break. It should really be an hour but let's see if I can build up to it. The plan is to do a short vinyasa after the school have gone so that I don't need my afternoon snack. I think on reflection I have this snack because I am tired rather than hungry. If I can find other ways to boost my energy than that would be great.
@CassieGetsFit2013 way to go great loss.

Did a 3 mile / 40 minute Leslie Sansone video this morning and she used fitness bands which was so fun! And i also did a tricep workout which sucked lol. I never really think about my triceps but clearly i should!5 -
Nice weekend. I didn't get as much done as I planned but I caught up with the things I fell behind with last week and I got what I needed to get done to be ready for this weekend so it was a success in my book. The shower went well. I ate until I was satisfied. I threw out 1/2 of my cake! And it was good cake too! That is big for me! I drove to the shower so after I dropped everyone off I went food shopping for the week. I really like having a plan for the week and getting stuff ready so the week is a little easier. Since Shannon is gone and no one is interested in my healthy cooking, I got some frozen Atkins dinners and will have them with a salad or over spinach. Not sure how that will go but it will be easy and quick clean up. Off to bed, I am going to continue getting up early to get my Leslie video in before work.
Congratulations to @kirsten11872 @hkfleming and @carlsoda Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd place "losers" last week
@amsandos I am going to join you with leaving some food on my plate this week. I need to work on that too. I think you have a great plan for the week. Little changes add up.
@carlsoda I am so glad that you didn't get the snow predicted. Still sounds like a lot to me Lol! Sounds like you had a great weekend!
@nstephenson01 It is pretty cool your husband can do that kind of project! Hopefully the project goes on schedule and your guest will be on his way home soon. It is tough to have guests so long, especially when they have strong personalities. You will be back to your normal routines before you know it. Hugs!
@CassieGetsFit2013 Nice loss! Hope all is well .
@pacsnc6 Sounds like you had a nice weekend. Hope the sun is out for you tomorrow!
@Twyla77 Nice loss! I need to expand my leslie videos . I never saw the one with the fitness bands!4
