My big business loan was just approved. Trying to get everything in order for closing.
Had fun with Molly thrifting.
It’s so fun to wear teensy clothes. 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of white jeans, 3 ivory tops, black slacks and as the store was closing I found a pair of sand colored linen overalls. I grabbed them and added to my loot without trying on. They turned out to be my favorite purchase.
That’s a lot of jeans for a girl that doesn’t usually wear jeans.
I am on track to hit my 60 pound goal in 3 weeks. 3 more pounds.
I skipped dinner last night. If you can go without a meal it’s kind of nice to take a break from eating.
Getting my haircut this morning.
Tonight we play ping pong.
Feels like summer!
@phoebe112476 good luck with setting up your home. We did that 1 year ago. I still have a couple things left to do. And great about the yoga. Yoga is not for sissies.
@sleepymom5 glad your hip was a little better. I was worried about you.2 -
Great for my beach vacation in July3 -
I didn't have much time to check in on Monday, but I did considerably fine. Logged my food and stay under although I had some sugar. I didn't have enough water or exercise, but walked a little every day.
Check in for Tuesday:
food: logged and under (no sugar or late night snacks)
water: 2 l
exercise: none, except some walking
steps: 14989
My plan for today:
eat mindfully
drink water
30 min yoga + some walking
I'm planning a little vacation starting on Thursday and I have no idea if I'll have access to a scale in the hotel. Is it possible to weigh in on Thursday morning instead of Friday this week? I weigh in almost every morning and I know I've lost a little so I wouldn't like to skip this week...2 -
I have no scale. Can i get an excused @sleepymom5 ? Im doing good. Lots of steps yesterday. Went to Frederick Meijer gardens. Ohhhh so beautiful! Today Gerald Ford meusum. Then to silver lakes.8

I think everyone is entitled to one "I am on my honeymoon" excused absence!3 -
Tuesday Check In
Food - almost on plan. I didn't eat my crispbread at lunch but did have unplanned paleo bites after supper.
Water - great
Exercise - great! I had planned on 12,000 steps yesterday instead I got 13,000+
Today's meals are all planned as well as tomorrow's. (look at me!!??!!) Yesterday after lunch I remembered to count down from 90 as I was craving something sweet. I didn't realize how hard it is to count down from 90 in my head but I forgot after supper and just grabbed paleo bites without thinking. Bad habit I need to break!
Today's exercise plans includes 11,000 steps and yoga tonight!6 -
Daily check in Tuesday
Food logged and on track
Water over 100 oz

Steps 9,044 steps
Had a good day yesterday but may have pushed it with the cleaning. My hip was hurting last night. I really think it was from going up and down the stairs and moving furniture. I don't think it was from my bike ride. I also am taking 1/2 of what I was taking of advil so that could have contributed too. Today I am cleaning the second floor. I am just moving lighter pieces and will vacuum around everything else. I washed a lot of the bedding while I was cleaning downstairs so a lot of running up and down the stairs. That wont be as bad either. Eating is going ok, not doing well with the eating until satisfied but at least I am paying attention. Got to run, I have a busy day ahead. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!
@hope002 Looks like you had a good day! Have another one today!
@Mrsbell8well Sounds like a fun and successful night of thrift shopping! The overalls are so cute! Nice loss this week!
@Moarrein Yes! You can absolutely weigh in Thursday am. Don't mind me if I keep you listed for Friday, when you weigh in Thursday I will remember
Sounds like you are doing well and you have a great day planned for today! You must be excited for your vacation!
@cyndiesstuff Have fun! No worries, I will get you an excused weigh in for this week. Sounds like you are having a great time!4 -

Had a stressful evening last night. My older son is allowed one form of social media & scrolling through his updates last night, he found a concerning video posted by a school friend who is a year younger & is at a different school this year. My son came to me & we called police and crisis services. We had to be interviewed by the police, they found the boy’s address by looking through social media posts (they saw a license plate) and went immediately for a safety check. We will not be informed of the outcome and I really pray that the boy is ok. It was hard because I do not know the parents & my son could not remember his last name. Needless to say that we were jarred by the experience but I am very proud of my son that he came to me immediately and was so calm and helpful with the police. He is the son with the learning and anxiety issues and this was a reminder to me what a wonderful person he is.
Today is a rest day for me, finally. All deadlines finished & invoices sent. Will not do housework or running or anything. Just having iced coffee, reading & maybe a walk later.

Tried something new for supper tonight:
I sliced a small zucchini in half lengthwise and put in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Then sprinkled with grated parmesan cheese and some pasta sauce. Into the toaster oven for a couple minutes to melt cheese. Mmmmm.
I don't have a specialized so noodles was not an option. Had a meatball on the side.3 -
@Cafelelia that is so frightening. I’m really proud of you and your son for taking quick action.
@pacsnc6 what a great idea. Your zucchini dish sounds so delicious.
@sleepymom5 you amaze me how much you always get done. Maybe you need a good summer book a large umbrella on the sand and a little umbrella in a drink and a day off.
@carlsoda way to go on your planning!
@Moarrein how are you feeling? Have you recovered from your run? Enjoy your vacation!
@cyndiesstuff so glad your having a good time!1 -
Molly and I had an absolute blast tonight playing ping pong. It was so much fun. Played for an hour. Lots of laughing and sweating. FUN week is turning out to be really fun!4
-
This thread has gotten a little quiet...Hope everyone is ok and just busy...
@Cafelelia Wow! How scary! It is really awesome that your son took that post seriously and came to you. I hope everything turns out alright for the boy. Hope you enjoyed your well deserved rest day!
@pacsnc6 That sounds really delicious! Thank you for sharing!
@Mrsbell8well Lol! I am hoping after this week that is what I will be doing! Fun week sounds like it might be the best week yet! I am glad you and Molly had fun playing ping pong2 -

This scale thing is really messing with me. Today I weighed for the first time since I had moved the scale. I was 3.5 pounds less then yesterday, 3.5 pounds. Can’t be real. But I had been up 3 pounds the first day I weighed since the move (a week ago) - so my weights have swung more than 6 pounds in 7 days. This is not possible and not at all typical for me. So I feel like I have no real idea.
But (and here is the real problem) - I have come to depend on those daily accurate weights as feedback. Especially since eating without logging lately. If I am up a pound, I will tell myself “that is not for me” when food becomes available (if not planned). If I am down a pound or losing faster than I want, I will tell myself (justly?) that I should try to eat a few extra calories today and eat a bit unplanned. Overall - working since I am losing consistently. But today after seeing that super low weight I’m the scale I was starving all morning. Starving. I ate more than I normally eat before noon to appease (nothing crazy just my normal daily foods I packed for work all day by noon). Then I told myself I needed to get a snack from vending machine because I was losing too fast / starving / needed more calories. I took 90 seconds and thought better. Then I got busy and felt less hungry. Felt hungry and ate an extra snack at my normal snack time. Then back in track rest of the day, basically only ate that one extra snack. I just didn’t realize how much I depend on those weights, how frustrating it is to have these inaccurate weights, and how much of my hunger feelings are tied to my thought process versus physical feeling of hunger.
I am going to change the batteries when I can find /unpack some. Maybe that will help? Hoping so. Do feel starving again just thinking about that low weight again as I type this. Starving! Luckily my exhaustion is overwhelming any energy to get out of bed and find a snack!4 -
Gah! Sorry I missed posting yesterday. I'm already starting to forget what day it is.

I'll be on vacation next 4 days so I don't know how much time I'll be able to check in. My plan for these days is to eat mindfully, stay hydrated, swim, visit some aikido classes and try to sneak in some yoga.6 -
@sleepymom5 I agree with you the thread has gotten light especially with out Cyndie here. Glad you have some down time coming up.
CHALLENGE-I’m wondering if everyone can post a comment to 1-3 other team members when you do your daily post? I know the majority of us all read the posts and benefit greatly from each other. And I understand it takes time. Something to think about.
@phoebe112476 I understand exactly what your talking about with the scale. That’s why I hide it and need to take a break. It messes with me too. Hang in there we will figure it out.
@Moarrein great job this week! Nice loss. Enjoy your vacation.
@gingerpwr I love Summertime. It’s easier to focus on fresh fruits and vegetables. It’s good to be aware.0 -

Another good day yesterday. I didn't get as much done but unfortunately I just couldn't physically do it. Feeling better today so it was worth it. I got the paperwork in the mail for the MRI so I can make an appointment for it. Hopefully it will be early next week. If this MRI doesn't show anything, it is off to PT for me...Busy day today too. It has been hot and humid here so I want to get out early to walk Daisy and hopefully ride my bike. MK is here too so she can help get stuff on other floors so I don't need to do the steps as much. This is an "upside down" house. The main floor is on the 3rd floor. Hope everyone has a great day!
@phoebe112476 I wonder if it is the batteries of the scale since it is usually so accurate. I always have swings with my weight that I don't pay attention to unless it becomes a daily thing. Weight gain and loss can be from so many other factors besides fat loss. I can really relate to how that number on the scale can mess with you throughout the day. I am glad you have preplanned snacks with you and resisted the vending machine. Hang in there, I am sure between the stress with moving and everything else you have going on messes with your body too. Hugs!
@Moarrein Nice loss! You had a great week and it shows! Enjoy your vacation!
@GingerPwr No problem! I am sure TOM has something to do with it! Hope all is well.
@Mrsbell8well I got a ton of "self help" books to read. I was never into that type of stuff but had some recommendations in these podcasts I am listen to so I ordered a lot of them. I am kinda hoping I didn't waste my money. I also have for fun Sometimes I lie by Alice Feeney.4 -
@Mrsbell8well I like Dan Brown's books. I'll have tocheck that one out.
Just finished a book by Pat Conroy "South of Broad" about growing up in Charleston SC. Next on my list is The Blue Period about Picasso or When I Found You by Catherine Ryan Hyde.
I also read a lot of romance novels for fast, fun reads.1 -

Any suggestions from everyone on a great summer/vacation books?

Didn't get a great night's sleep last night and I can tell I'm retaining water so today's weigh in isn't much of a surprise. Notice how I'm not calling it a gain LOL. But in all seriousness the words we say to ourselves matter. I'm feeling good about my activity level, eating and water intake so will just keep doing what I'm doing and trust the scale will come around.
My garden is planted so now its time to focus on weeds. Yuck! Been busy picking up rocks and pinecones so I can bush hog the fields. Hooked up the bush hog yesterday on the first attempt and didn't need to call hubby with any questions. Usually it takes me several attempts and a few phone calls/texts. Yay me!! When he bush hogs it looks like a golf course. When I do it I just try not to break anything or run into a tree with the tractor. LOL Wish me luck!!
Nice loss @Shirin_K! You do really well when you're in your groove
Keep up the good work!! 4 -
@Mrsbell8well i am reading James Patterson right now, i love his books. i always make my husband download every book he comes out with except for the kid ones and the ones that the kids are some sort of beasts. those don't interest me.
@Cafelelia you have a smart son, he knew to come to his mom. some kids might have just blown off the situation.
so my weight is up. i have worked out this week even at 4am, added in some weights. i am eating off a smaller plate, no seconds. this is getting out of hand. im going to start weighing out my food again and hope it's that. i am even eating fruit daily, usually not my thing. here's to next week. very frustrating.6
