Really motivational stuff reading through some posts this week.
It was my first week back st work after maternity leave and it’s been a really tough one where I’ve grabbed lots on the go and have binged later at night. I need to adjust to the new normal and back into prepping and more of a structure which isn’t the way I’ve been operating for the last 9 months 🙈
Also stepped on the scales this morning for the first time since my phone broke and I hadn’t been posting here. Up to 222 which is a 10lb gain so going to work away on that until I can join back in properly for July.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Good luck with your return to work! I know it can be difficult. Going back to work after maternity leave helped me with a structure as well, sometimes when you are home for awhile, especially with a new little, everything melts into everything else after awhile.2 -
Tracked: yes
Under: no, spur of the moment family outing with delicious ice cream
Exercise: normal walking, yet near the river, forgot the Fitbit so maybe a mile ?? stopping every few minutes to enjoy the beautiful ducks, dogs , water, grass, dirt etc etc... with two adorable kids 2 and 3 yrs old in tow lol 🙂 How does life get better than that!!
Sounds like a lovely day with your family!3 -
Friday Weigh-In
Last week: 122.4
Today: 120.6
Sorry I've been MIA, my mastitis came back raging, so badly that i had to go in the er on Wednesday. I haven't been tracking or exercising, although my sleep has been better because I'm so exhausted, so win? Some of my loss is probably due to barely eating the last couple of days, so I might show a gain next week, we will see. Wish me luck on kicking this for good, I'm so frustrated and in so much pain. Ugh. End complaint. Have a great weekend everyone!7 -

Sorry, gang. Just not feeling it this week..... A very small part of it is getting ready for my son to come home from Germany. After being away for 18 months completing his degree, he is coming home on Tuesday night, for good! After visiting him last summer for two weeks, both my husband and I were convinced he would stay and find a job there after graduation, but no. As much as he loves the European sensibility, he loves the people in Canada more!10

@sandkp my scale was doing the same thing...the calibration was off I tried to fix it and the it was aging I was 700 lbs 🤣. I ordered a new one from amazon brand “etekcity” it came with a tape measure and food scale for $25! (There was a promo for prime members) Had it for a couple of months and it seems like I’ll have it for a while. It’s always consistent.cmhubbard92 wrote: »Week: Week 3

Start weight: 216 lbs

I am going to take this loss since I always hold weight (water/etc.) this week. Now I really am aiming for a better jump next week... getting the mind set is a hard thing sometimes.
Also side note, I need a new scale... what works for you all consistantly? I stepped on today and it read 213... i called it a liar 😂 and tried again.. gave it to me 3 times.. then I moved it and it just laughed at me and handed me my 214's... and a 217 ... I settled at 214.2 based on the average of about 15 tries. Yeah.. I gotta stop that. But this scale can give me a 3lb shift in a matter of minutes... and I know that isnt right so used to now doing multi weighs to get a good weight. I want to shove this scale to the guys weight room and get me a constantly consistant friendly scale.
@sandkp how old is your scale? Needing a new battery could be causing the weird readings. Also, make sure it isn't on carpet, and is on level flooring. If it is time for a new scale, I bought one off of Amazon a few months back and love it. It is simple, has a light so it works in the dark, and even comes with a measuring tape(which I have yet to use). I bought a second one for my boyfriends house as well!
@cmhubbard92 - I will definitely change the batteries and see if that helps. It doesn't show they are low or bad but now thinking the scale is several years old so it definitely can't hurt. I will keep your suggestion in mind for the scale if the batteries don't make the change!
