Well I moved in the right direction this week. I had a bad night last night but earlier in the week I was actually into the 130’s. What gets me is when I can’t sleep and last night was one of those nights. It was terrible and I always convince myself that food will help me sleep - and actually I did sleep after I got up to eat. So like I’ve said in the past - it encourages my bad behavior!! I have a sleep disorder and I get these stretches of time where I just lay there. I use every technique to try to sleep- I walk around in the dark for about an hour before sleep, I use a diffuser with lavender oil, I try melatonin but when I’m like I was last night - nothing works!! In past years the doctor tried sleeping pills and even those don’t work. I envy people who just lay down and go to sleep. I’ve never been able to do that. I was diagnosed in the 1980’s with my sleep disorder. Anyways, sorry to be a downer today. I should be happy I’m down. I guess I’m just afraid that I’ve started one of those sleepless stretches. Have a great Friday everyone!6

No change. So easy to gain so hard to lose lol
Onto another week/month4 -
Strayed from my routine the past couple days but hey you only turn 50 once. Fifty feels pretty good so far. I enjoyed every bite and sip. Plus TOM arrived early so one pound isn’t too bad considering. Back on track today. TGIF!!
My husband sent me a gorgeous bouquet. Roses and lilies are my favorite. Love that man!! The house smells amazing.

@Mrsbell8well I have to agree! nothing matters but the weekend from a Friday point of view.
@Barbb1557 welcome to our team! I am cyndie one of the team captains. come on in and make yourself at home. read thru some of the previous post and join in. you get out of this team what you put into it. so join us on our journey!!
@lennoncpa great job on the loss this week. you keep that up. and I totally understand about your struggles with sleep. my chronic pain makes it very difficult to sleep. I am not going to tell you how to fix it, I am sure you have tried the things I would suggest. all I can say is hang in there and your not alone.
@pacsnc6 ohhh yea! there you go again! sticking to your plan and losing weight. how are you doing on your treats?
@hkfleming nice loss girl. woooo whoo.
@nstephenson01 that is just a small gain. and it was your birthday, so all in all not bad at all. get right back on track. what is the next best step? do you have your 24 hour plan made? ohhh those flowers are beautiful. I have lilies in my gardens but not very successful with roses. I am so glad you enjoyed your birthday. this second half is going to be amazing!
@lenka1 ohhh yea. I think we all get that! I can gain 5 pounds in 2 days and then spend the next month trying to get it off. it's not fair. but.... it is what it is!! keep working your plan. your a strong woman, you got this.

Life is too short.. So you say, "I am just going to eat this even though I know I shouldn’t.” We need to remind ourselves. So instead say, “Actually, life is too short to be spent overweight, unhappy, and unhealthy. If I want to feel great and really live my life the way I want to, then I need to do what I can to maintain a healthy weight." Words are powerful. Be good to yourself this weekend!!
What will your positive words for the week end be? Please share all weekend. Lets go into July with a positive frame of mind.

Not happy that I gained this month but I have been doing better since I did my 4 circles. I have had a few good days under my belt. I will keep it going. No plans for the weekend. Just MK, Daisy and I are going to be down so it will be quiet. Same with July 4th. I am having guests starting 7/5 for a few days. I am finishing up cleaning today and then my total focus will be on me. Daisy is still feeling sick so still feeling sleep deprived. I am calling the vet today to see if there is anything else I can do. She did see the vet Tuesday.
As far as my hip, this is what I wrote on my MFP page for those who I am not friends with. We should be friends if we aren't lol! I need to look on my friends list and send out invites.
My hip still isn't doing well. I haven't heard back about the MRI. I am going to call them today. I have been doing everything I should, taking it easy with walking although I don't have a choice, I can't walk too fast or far. I am icing, doing my exercises I was given and taking ibuprofen. I am taking a high dose and I really don't like it. I have tried to taper it back but then I am in pain and can't move. Hopefully I will have an answer or at least path to follow by this afternoon. If MRI doesn't show anything, the plan is PT. I think it is going to be a long road no matter what they find. This isn't going to go away overnight. Ugh! Trying to stay positive, it is what it is...as soon as they tell me what it is
@McKay85 @Barbb1557 Welcome! Jump right in and introduce yourselves! We can't wait to meet you both!
@Julie8468 Yes, you do need to take the time to take care of you! Just move forward and don't let the weight on the scale upset you. You know what to do! A suggestion- maybe you can alternate your coffee and water? When I wake up I drink 8oz of water right away and then another between my two cups of coffee. That is 16oz right away. Or have a glass nearby when you are working and take sips, those sips add up.
@Moarrein Nice loss!! I have to work on emotional eating too. It is not worth blowing what progress we made because of something usually out of our control. As you pointed out, we seem to be still upset and it doesn't even appear to be bothering the other person at all. Looks like the rest of the week went well AND you had a loss so all is good. Hugs!
@cyndiesstuff I am sure you will feel better when you hear the plan for going over to your new job. I guess like everything in life it is a process. I didn't realize Jim had another job besides farming! Wow! Dinner sounds delicious! I need to branch out a bit. Daisy is 9, she did see the vet and he thinks she might have eaten something maybe on her walks. I am also calling him today to see if I should be concerned. I am not doing great with waking up in the middle of the night. Lol!
@lennoncpa Nice loss! Now I feel bad complaining about my broken sleep with my sick dog. I know it won't last forever. Hopefully you have more good sleep nights than bad. It is hard to function the following day with broken sleep. Hugs to you!
@hkfleming Nice loss!! Happy Friday to you too!
@pacsnc6 Still a good weigh in even though you didn't get where you wanted to. You will see it next week, keep doing what you are doing!
@lenka1 Isn't that the truth! You are doing well and don't have much to lose so I am sure that factors into it too. Hope all is well.
@nstephenson01 Welcome to the 50s! May it be your best decade yet! The flowers are beautiful!!

Very happy to maintain this week. My running is ramping up and I am building muscle back, particularly in my weaker leg. I have not been enjoying running as much as the recovery feels like work. I have to increase distance slowly, alternate with interval runs, try to increase my speed, and watch my form. It’s a lot to think about! I am pushing through though, and just finished a continuous 3 km in the heat. The nice thing in my neighbourhood is that a lot folks out on the sidewalks cheer on runners. Today it was another mom, and an elderly lady with a walker. It felt nice, like I was running a race!
@cyndiesstuff - Congratuations! I thought that you had the job, but no matter, you have it now!! Way to go!!
@sleepymom5 - I won’t make it to the family cottage this weekend. My in-laws really cannot get there anymore, so my husband is just opening the place as it was such a cold and rainy spring. The cottage is in rough shape after the long winter, so he has cleaners and maintenance people there, and our boys are helping too. My husband wanted to spare me the heavy lifting given my injury recovery, so I am staying back to see my best friend and start packing for our July vacation. It is peak mosquito season, so I am not too sad to be missing out!

Sorry, I will be late weighing in. Will post it in the morning.0

Wow look at all those losers on our team!!! Great job ladies so impressive!!!
@nstephenson01 happy happy birthday! Lovely flowers.
Welcome newbies! You came to the right place. Jump in and you will get out of this what you put into it. It has worked for me!
My daughters birthday is tomorrow. I took her out to lunch then she went with me to get my haircut (see new pic). I had a haircut last week but I really struggle with hairdressers cutting it as short as I want. She said to come back if I needed more off...so I did.
@cyndiesstuff you asked me to think about who I am at maintenance. I am thinking about it. I really am excited about getting into better shape. I really want to do a 1 week cleanse but with my daughters birthday celebration, 4th of July 5k and mid-July vacation...I don't see that happening until we get back. That might work out fine since I will ALREADY be at my goal weight. So I will start maintenance with a 1 week cleanse. Molly and I are going to start bike riding and training for a fall 36 miler country ride. I really am eager to start lifting weights. My daughter just ran 5 miles yesterday which is exciting since we can now start some long runs together. I want to get back to daily yoga. I feel my best when I am doing that. I also want to figure out how I eat. My system can still get a little wonky. I am planning on making wholesome desserts every Sunday as part of my new eating plan. I originally thought I wanted to lose another 8-10 lbs but now I think not. If I lose anymore...ok...but if I don't...oh I am so happy to be right where I am.
My headache has finally let up. I wondered if it was dehydration @sleepymom5 but I do drink a lot. It usually happens after very long runs or very strenuous activities. My guess is that my shoulders seem to tense up and it triggers a headache. But I don't know. It was so tempting to think about popping a little pill to make it go away. Nope not for me. I would take a pill someday if I just had to but I would rather take a nap or slather myself in peppermint oil.
This week Molly and I have ZERO on our to do list. And it's forecast to be in the 90's. Bikini time and iced suntea on a little pool floatie. We are so looking forward to it.
I will be at my goal weight 60 pounds by July 10th 142.8. I really hope to be at 142 since that will put me finally in the normal healthy BMI range. I am very determined. We go on vacation July 12th to the beach for a long weekend. I am completely optimistic that I will continue to maintain by eating exactly like I am eating now.
It's almost end of my workday!!!! Oh hurrah!!!
Any plans for the weekend team mates? Aren't you happy a new fresh month is approaching and we get to start all over again???1 -
@gingerpwr what are you planning to do for weight training? Will you be going to a gym?0
