I owe you all an apology. I decided on Wednesday that my heel is too sore to join the running group that was starting up again on the 16th. That was hard to accept and I proceeded to have a three day pity party for myself. I am still here, sort of.
No apology necessary! I feel for you! About 10 years ago I had to give up my running group permanently due to back issues. I was a slow marathon runner and ran outside year round. You can imagine how long the training runs were . . . which made for wonderful conversations. I still miss it.
I would suggest to get and follow medical advice, and don't rush getting back to running. And join your friends occasionally for the after run coffee, pub or whatever it is. And look forward getting back into the group!6 -
MINI CHALLENGE
Really had a hard day emotionally today. Was very disappointed from the weight gain despite doing everything correctly. I know intellectually there’s a valid reason but it hit me harder than expected. I think the gain plus having knee pain today plus some projects at home going wrong has me spiraling a bit. Looking forward to starting over again tomorrow.
Stay strong Mike! Look at your success so far. A one pound blip is disappointing but as we know weight loss isn't always linear. And look after your knee!5 -

Logged: Yes

Exercise: 50 minutes elliptical, 50 minutes walking.
Pretty good day today! I am almost completely packed for my trip, so I won't be freaking out too badly when I get out of work Monday! I did sleep pretty horribly last night, so I am going to try going to sleep a bit earlier tonight! Hopefully I will feel a bit more energetic than I did this morning at the gym! Today is my 130th day of logging, and I'm ecstatic about it! I still have a long road ahead of me, but I'm happy with the progress I have made!7 -

Tomorrow will be a better day! Don't beat yourself up over the scale. I get frustrated with it too, but I use the libra scale and it shows me my trending weight. It can boost my mood when I feel like my weight keeps playing games with me! I hope your knee feels better!4 -

@mikea2g I hope tomorrow is a better day for you. I know that pain can have a huge effect on emotions especially when there are other things that aren't going well. It is only the first week of the month, and looking at your history of weight loss from the past several months you have been doing awesome. I'm sure you will see more weight come off soon.3 -

Pulse check for TBBT. What does everyone think about starting a weekly conversation with any focused topic. At the end of our meetings at work we do a "round table" conversation, where we pretty much share our thoughts. Would anyone like to do something like that to help us stay engaged with our mission?
At any time if anyone wants to start a conversation, this is the place. @Kwinnero, get us started, Krystal, so we can follow your lead.
Ok great! Ill start up a new conversation Sunday with our new week.4 -

Stay positive! Once you start feeling better, you will be able to start your activities!!! Just take care of yourself in the meantime! *hugs*5 -

@HASWLRS No apologies necessary. You have to take care of yourself and that means every part of you including your foot. Get back on track and find ways to stick to plan even if your exercise is limited.2 -

I don't know what my problem is this year. I can't seem to lose consistently and it's frustrating. But I'm still trying, not throwing in the towel so I guess that's something

159 -> 160
Sorry I'm late! It has been quite a week.
I'm back at 160, which is a little annoying. I have been running my moderately sized butt off. I did reach 4 miles of running this past week and I'm super proud. I spent most of the time thinking of answers to questions for my interview yesterday. Great distraction technique 10/10 would recommend.3
