Are you in Alberta? My daughter is having the same problem in Wainwright. It's BAD. I hope you stay well - and how is black coffee for your lungs?????
You know those pictures of Mars with the red-sand dust storms .... Hubby saw a picture of Calgary yesterday that may as well have BEEN Mars (same thick red air, due to wildfire fallout)

Visibility today is like 10 feet.
It's not fog. It's SMOKE.
I have to wear my carbon filter mask outdoors and run my air purifier indoors. We can't open windows no matter how hot it gets.
Exercise probably not happening for the foreseeable future. Sleep either, since black coffee is all I have for my lungs.
Can this cursed month just friggin end?!

Yup. We're on fire.
Black coffee works as well as, if not better than, an inhaler for asthma attacks and trouble breathing. I've been chugging black coffee during fire season since I was 12, since my asthma is too mild for a regular inhaler prescription.3 -
I think I haven't been eating enough breakfast lately, which would explain being hungrier later in the day (hungrier than when I was on fewer Daily max calories!) And not sleeping enough ... those tablet based word-games are messin' with my lights-out!
I was doing well on "post wedding shower recovery" until yesterday .... but not only ate more (not a HUGE amount more, but still more bulk to process than usual) AND didn't get my exercise burn in.
New Month; New (Re)Commitment (to tighten up on logging and getting ALL daily steps in) ... BFF feeling better and no longer infectious, so more outdoor daily walking (with active little dog towing her along, so a decent speed rather than strolling) in my future.3 -

That's interesting to know! Over the last couple of years I've started having a bit of discomfort with breathing if I was trying to walk or anything like that when the fires were bad, so I'll keep that in mind. (Southern Alberta here, the skies are orangey-grey and the smell of smoke is quite strong outside, but visibility isn't too bad just yet.)
Stay safe!

@Terytha and other Albertans! WOW - Mars for real! Looks like Beijing.
I'm heading out for the veg garden where it seems like the air should be black with the swarms of horrible biting black flies (DEET is my friend), but it can't compare with that orange...1 -

My sister lives in Edmonton.. The capital of Alberta. The haze there is unbelievable right now. Not good for people, dogs or other animals.
Best wishes to all our Albertans. And any Northern Ontarians as well.4 -
@jugar I will participate in step reporting starting on June 1st. I'm not a big stepper, but I would like to improve.I’m kind of in a funk. Between staying about the same for about a month, getting a little sloppy with my logging, and feeling really fat, I need to get out of it. I was thinking after losing almost 18 pounds that I was looking pretty good. Then the last few days mirrors and reflections have been mean and alarming to me. This is just a plateau and I know I can be better, but ugh!😑...
One of the things that struck me many years ago when I lost loads of weight was how quickly I went from feeling great about myself and my accomplishments to being critical of my thighs, arm flab, etc. My husband pointed it out to me. I was being self critical and he asked, "What happened to my wife from a week ago that was all excited about the new clothing she's wearing?" So I try to stop myself and step back to get a broader perspective.
I think @jugar suggestion to read your older posts is a brilliant idea.

@Terytha Whoa! that air quality is nuts. Have you ever seen the Airvisual earth site that shows the air quality around the globe? You can click anywhere and see what the measurements are for particulates in the air. I'm pretty sure you are in the worst place on the planet for that right now, unless there is a sandstorm in the Sahara desert that happens to be going on. https://airvisual.com/earth2 -
@zlauerMom Hey, that's neat! We're definitely under an air quality warning, with our air ranked at 10+. Although I think I heard it'll start to improve by Monday. Fingers crossed for rain.4

The new members have all been moved into the regular team for JUNE. If you want to update your weigh-in, just let me know. Your starting weight should be taken on the same day of the week you want to continue on for the month of June. Or we can just use the one you put in when you signed up!
Returning members are all in the spreadsheet for June as well - if you want to change days, try a different team, or anything, now is your chance to let us know!
The 2 people who are on the Support Team - @BMcC9 and @AmyRobF - do you want to stay there? Or move back up to have your weigh-ins count? @micki48 - do you know Amy's plans?
I would like to be back on the weigh In Team! I will weigh myself tomorrow and post in the June chat. Can’t wait to get back with everyone and continue this journey. 😁2 -

So good to have you back!!!! Thanks - and looking forward to having you there in June.2 -
@zlauerMom - it is true how quickly we become critical of what felt like an accomplishment when it arrived. I am now at the lowest weight in ages, and still it is so easy to fall into the criticisms of big thigh, big whatever - let's celebrate where we are!4
