Daily Check in for: Wednesday
Food: Logged and under
Water: 32 oz
Exercise and steps: Walk and cardio and 18,014 steps
This was a good week and I’m happy to be past the half way point to my goal weight! It took 7 months to get here (192 pounds to under 161) and will most likely take that long or longer for the rest. I would love if it came off faster, but this pace is working for me. One day/week at a time and I’ll get to my goal!
Yesterday, food and exercise was good. Food is not planned for today yet - I need to get it figured out right after this! Over the next couple days, I also want to take time to review my March goals and think about what I want to do in April.
@Mrsbell8well For bottoms, I’m wearing a size 10/12/XL. For tops, mostly XL. Same as when I started, but everything is looser. Have fun shopping for size 6!!

Daily Check in for Wednesday
Food: Good!!
Water: Good!
Exercise: almost 13,000 steps yesterday. Walk around the lake at lunch and a 2 mile walk around town when I got home. No Yoga...but that's for tonight!
Another good day behind me and scale is showing it. I am like 1 lb from being in the healthy weight zone! I still have quite a bit of belly fat I need to work on - unlike my youth mentality I'm more slow and steady now. I'll eventually get there
@Shirin_K - great loss!!!
@cyndiesstuff - good luck tomorrow! Good work letting work go, you just can't worry about it now, you need to focus on yourself. Hope today goes fast and easy for you and I'll be praying for you tomorrow.
@Mrsbell8well - you are a great motivator and manager. Hope the April challenge is a success! Your group of 10 are very lucky to have you!
Waves to everyone else - I need to get back to work
Have a wonderful Thursday!!4 -
I had a great weekend. (Yes, I know I'm doing a weekend recap on Thursday LOL) The comedy show was awesome - it was actually a podcast I binge listen to in all my commuting so it was fun seeing them live. I had a pretty productive weekend otherwise and did a lot of cleaning and stuff around the house.
Went to a concert with the hubs on Monday that was amazing
It was a new group from my favorite artist of all time. I've been feeling really weird lately and I cried through a whole song and part of it was because it's a sad song, and part of it was because it's beautiful, and the other part was because I was relieved that I could still feel the impact of music and poetry. I was so nervous about going to this show because I was afraid I WOULDN'T cry and I've been wondering lately if my medication is doing more than taking the edge off... I still want to have feelings bad or good, that aren't being suppressed with chemicals -_-
I'm still doing an awesome job maintaining lol... *facepalm* I should've known this month would be tough. The last weekend that wasn't completely filled with running around was Valentine's Day. This weekend all I have going on is rehearsal and my parent's 40th anniversary dinner on Sunday. It's probably bad but I'm kind of relieved my husband is going to be out of town from first thing tomorrow to Sunday afternoon. I feel like I need some alone/quiet time...
One of the girls at work was all proud of herself for prepping her and her husband's meals on Saturday for the whole week. We decided we all need to get on board with that. We decided we're going to meal prep this weekend for next week and send snapchats to each other so it's not so boring as doing it alone.
Ready for another "maintain" tomorrow
but it could be worse I guess.

I feel pretty Ok with just a small loss this week. I celebrated, ate, drank but also exercised, did well with water and listened to my body. Hubby leaves next Wednesday for PA and so far I'm not letting my emotions guide my food choices. Woke to snow this morning (#$@%) so on top of everything else planned for the day I need to shovel so gotta run. Will catch up on posts later.
Happy Thursday Everyone!!3 -

Hello everyone, sorry I have been MIA, I have been so busy at work. We are short-staffed and they are not planning on hiring anyone, it is insane! I do not stop from the time I walk in until I leave.
My younger son is dyslexic, he is a freshman in high school and struggling. The school re-evaluated him and it turns out he has auditory processing issues on top of the learning issues and has now been labeled with ADHD, more AD, not really hyper, but regardless, it is a lot to absorb. My son and I were both crying in the meeting. They are moving him into Special Ed classes for math, English & history, and he feels like he is being punished, it is tough. He is a bright kid, but his learning issues make it hard for him to keep up and get his work done. As his mom, my heart breaks for him!
This week has not been good with my eating & exercise either, just a crappy week for me! I am trying to get my act together, just been struggling.
Thank you for your support! I will get there.
Have a great day! 5 -

seriously!!!! I am so mad right now. I know it's only 2 ounces but it keeps going up. i am supposed to meet my son for dinner tonight and i don't even want to eat. I did not get up this morning to exercise, my alarm clock rang and i stayed in bed the extra hour. I did plan on coming home to workout but I had to stay at work late, had my eye dr appointment which ran late, had to sign in to get my homework logged in by today (yes, i was slacking) and now my son wants to meet for dinner. So exercise out the window, this is why i like to do it first thing in the morning. I don't mind the meeting my son part it's the rest of the day that sucked. I also have to get new glasses, good thing for eye insurance. I didn't order them today though because I'm sure i can get them online much cheaper. Even though insurance took over $400 off still makes me choke. YIKES!! not sure why glass is so expensive. My son comes home from florida tomorrow, he has been having a great time, i am glad especially after the last few months. Have a great night.4

Must be something in the water because my week has been crap too. I've completely stressed myself out about taking over another class, and was so strung out today from anxiety that as soon as I got home, I went straight to bed and just slept for a couple of hours.
Sorry I haven't been as vocal, but I am doing my best to keep up with everyone! Stay strong. It's easy to let stress and chaos dictate our eating, but in a day that's out of control, we can look at food as the one thing we retain control over. Keep making those smart, controlled choices!5 -
I just got home from Las Vegas! i forgot to check in yesterday as i got back to the hotel and fell asleep immediately lol!
I must confess i DID eat at a buffet yesterday, but kept everything in control with lots of fresh veggies and fruit, baked chicken, and only a tiny scoop of mashed potatoes! And jello for dessert! Mostly i just wanted to sit in the restaurant because it was jungle themed and I thought it was funny!
Before i left i picked one of those protein lunch kits up and put it in my carry on so i could avoid the airport snacks that i’m such a sucker for!
Back to work tomorrow, feeling pretty good about my trip overall!
(this is me & Jon Taffer from Bar Rescue, I got to meet him at the conference!)

Made it to the shore! I am so happy to be here. My daughter and her husband will be here tomorrow. I should probably be cleaning to get it ready for the start of the season but I am going to hold off. I will have plenty of time to do that, now I am just going to enjoy being here. I am pretty tired so I am going to hit the hay
@cyndiesstuff We are all thinking about you! Wishing you well tomorrow and a speedy recovery xoxo
@Shirin_K Nice loss! It must be such a great feeling to be 1/2 way to goal! You're absolutely right, one day at a time! You have a great attitude! You will be to your goal before you know it!
@carlsoda I love your attitude too! Slower and steady is not a bad thing at all. How exciting to be so close to being at a healthy weight!
@DananaNanas Sounds like you had such a nice weekend. It's hard to believe it is almost time for the next one to be here! I am glad you had such a nice time at the concert and were able to feel all the emotions that you should be. I am sure that was such a great feeling for you. Maintaining isn't a bad thing if that is what happens tomorrow. Just keep plugging away. Hugs!
@nstephenson01 Nice loss! Especially with the celebrating your anniversary. I am glad you are being aware of your feelings and not turning to food. Hang in there. Enjoy your time with him. xoxo
@kirsten11872 I am so sorry to hear about your son. It is so hard as a parent to see a child go through something like this. Hopefully with the extra help he will be less frustrated doing his school work. I know it is not something he wants but I hope it ends up being a good thing for him. Hang in there Mama! xo
@ljdanny That small gain could be so many things out of your control. Just keep doing what you have been doing, the scale will eventually catch up. I know it is frustrating especially when you are doing everything that you are supposed to be doing. You have been doing great getting your exercise in early and planning your food. Don't give up. On another note, I am glad to hear your son will be home soon. I know you have been worrying about him. I am glad he is having a good time after all he has been through. Hugs!
@hkfleming Oh no! Hope everything is going ok.
@GingerPwr You are absolutely right. Even with everything we have going on, good and bad, we shouldn't be turning to food. Sorry to hear you have been having a stressful week too. Hugs!
@twyla77 Sounds like you did very well on your trip! You should be proud of all the good choices you have made. How cool that you met Jon Taffer. My husband and his friend are renovating a bar. It sounds like they are on track to open in May. I keep telling my husband they should watch bar rescue so they don't make the same mistakes that the people on the show did.3 -

@kirsten11872 Your son sounds like my husband. He is a really intelligent man but struggles with processing information. He has been diagnosed with Dsylexia but I also thing he is dyspraxic. Education systems are so poor at supporting learners who do not fit into the standard mould. He works as a gardener and has found his place in the world. I know it feels horrible now but I know with your loving support your son will do the same. You will figure it out together and find his thing that he can do in a way that noone else can.
Daily check in
I did a cheeky weigh in and I am back at 137. I find this really strange given the amount that I ate on Tuesday. I have been running a lot so maybe I needed to eat that much. I have been thinking about April. My 'race' is on 14th my plan food wise is to eat for maintenance but to go on a sugar ban so that I am not eating rubbish (trash). I am wondering should I move to cheerleading for April or should I stay in the challenge as I will be switching back to loss once the event is done. Thoughts?

@amsandos stay in the challenge0

I really appreciate everyone’s posts of frustration. This is such a great space to share what we are going through. I think it helps to vent and makes it easier to find success with group support. Hang in there everyone. April is a fresh start for all of us!
Getting ready for Richmond. Memorial service tomorrow for MIL. Meanwhile lots of hustle this morning to pack and get out the door.3 -
