One thing I did well: Stayed focused and mindful of exercise, eating well and within calorie limit, and having a positive attitude.
One thing to improve: Be as aware this next week as I was this last week to stay consistent and focused.

@klilev~ Fabulous Friday! 🏃 👏🏽 A Super Saturday! I loooooove ☕️ and tea! Great idea. Fun hikes, I’m sure. 👊🏽
@JamieD328~ Hope you’re having fun with friends 👍🏽 and that the extra steps will help offset the calories.
@skullsandskeletons~ Whooowheeeeeeee! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Saturday! Yes, you deserve some vacation days. Thanks for sharing/discussing. What is it about water that you don’t get enough? The tastelessness or not a habit to reach for it? How can we help? YES!!! Good insight on binging not being fulfilling.👊🏽 You’re doing great!
@ajaia2001~ Whoa! 60 hours/week. You still had a good Saturday! 👊🏽

One thing I did well: I posted twice in MFP last week. I also got up early on Saturday and spent time with my son all day.
One thing to improve: Continue to try to exercise more and don't less stress control my eating habits.

At work on Sunday morning. Working Sunday to get some peace and quiet. My job has become so stressful. It's not my job. It's everything not related to it. I use to have my own office. In January 2019 a new state of art hospital was built and most people were down graded to cubicles for space purposes. I was one of the unlucky ones who got the cubicle in a high traffic area blended in with multiple departments! I have a 99% computer job. I'm a RN Reimbursement Specialist. Now my concentration and production sucks. It's constant distraction and it irritates me, because I can't do my job.
I recently had to move to a new cubicle in a different area. Less traffic, but a no light policy and constant chatter. They had a poll that the lights were too bright prior to me moving here, so now I'm in the darn dark. Everybody who prefers the lights had to buy their own desk lamp. Well, now I have headaches every day. I try to work different shifts, so I can turn the lights on when nobody else is here. That's why I'm here Sunday.
The only positive perk left with my job. Is that I can work any shifts or hours. My husband works swing shift, so this is a great perk! I have a 10 year old son, so this helps us to be available for him. I'm waiting for that to change next, because everybody watches what you do now.

Got up this morning and did 30 minutes on the treadmill prior to work. My speed wasn't that fast, however I did jog the entire time.1

@johicks congrats on your big loss this week!! Woo hoo!
In answer to your question about my not getting enough water, part of the problem is that I work in an area where food and drink are not allowed. I do have an office where I can eat and drink so I just need to keep filling up my bottle and making a point to get my water in.
Today is weigh in day. Will post that separately.1 -

@Toyota100 ~ a tiny gain. Not too bad, especially considering all your work challenges. You are still at an overall loss for the month. I don’t blame you for working on a Sunday for the peace & quiet. I did the same during cherry season to get my desk work done. And whooooooo hoooooooo!! Great job on getting 30 minutes on the treadmill. Awesome!! Keep working on those small changes and turning them into habits. The weight will come off. Stay positive. Good luck this week on your weight loss journey and with work. 🤗
@skullsandskeletons ~ Woooohooooo!! 🎉 You had a great loss, too!! Wonderful week!! 👏🏽 Thanks! I got that huge gain off and then a little more, too. It definitely feels good.
I get it working as I did work in a food processing facility that had restrictions on food/drink, even the desk jobs. It makes it difficult for sure. Could you take a cooler? Now I don’t have those restrictions. So, I take a small lunch-bag cooler to work that has a couple of bottles of water staying cool and ready to drink. That way I don’t have to remember to fill or count. Plus at home, I have a morning mug (16 oz) to drink before I leave for work and an evening mug (16 oz) to drink before bed. This has totally worked for me. I don’t have to count every day now, as it’s becoming a habit to just drink from four different mugs or bottles. It also helps me mentally. It “feels” like a different drink when it’s a “new” bottle. 🤣 The mind games we play. Hope you can find a way. You are doing so great. Keep at it!! 1 -

One thing to work on: stop being so hard on myself. Marathon, not a sprint! Ugh....
Fortunately it wasn’t as much of a weight gain as I was expecting, but still a gain.
I’m going out of town for 2 weeks, so I have to remind myself to try and stay on track. Hopefully we’ll be doing a lot of walking - which will help keep weight gain at bay!
I will try to check in as much as possible.
Happy losing everybody!2 -

Daily mini report
Run: no workout today, too tired
Track: no, was out all day,went to a restaurant with my extended family and ordered soup. Then went to a birthday party and only had fresh fruit. Felt great but sadly crashed on biscuits and other junk when I finally got home. I was too tired to prepare any food
Mind: I think seeing a buffet loaded with goodies and controlling myself somehow plays tricks with my mind...
Hopefully back in the zone tomorrow.2 -
Sunday check in
Track: No, my brain power isn’t in for guesstimates at the moment.
Calories: once again guessing over by end of day, because the Sunday dinner was another special meal, fixing a favorite for an uncle who works on the road. I can’t convince my grandma that a veritable buffet of three pasta dishes should never happen for everyone’s sake.
Exercise: I did walk a little over a mile with my mom after we finished cleaning up after lunch.1 -
@johicks thanks for continuing to inspire and for channeling us to discuss wins and struggles.
[*] 2. How many hours of sleep do you get? Can you tell a difference with weight loss? How? I don't get anywhere near enough, 6 hours on a good night. Little one not a very good sleeper + I hear every little cough, creeks etc and struggle to fall back asleep. Hasn't stopped me losing weight. Just tired all the time
[*] 3. What are some other strategies for eating out? I rarely eat out but when I do I try to be mindful but still enjoy it and have a good time, so I don't really think about calories too much. I just steer clear of the deserts and sugary drinks.

One thing I did well: Well, not much. I guess continuing to weigh in and report the gain.
One thing to improve: Way too much snacking last week. Like, the sort where I stopped at the store on the way home to get junk food. I need to reign that in next week.

Daily post Sunday July 14:
Tracked: yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no
Sorry I've been quiet the past couple of days. It has been a busy few days. Lots of fun with family time, cookout, concert, etc. Needless to say, I did not do so good food wise this week. The thought of hopping on The scales in the morning frightens me. I'll keep it honest though. Start teaching the Summer Reading program tomorrow, as well as babysitting for my friend. Gonna be a busy, tiring week.

Congratulations everyone on all of your successes this week. Eventhough the scale doesn't always budge, or go in the direction we wish, it's great to see everyone has a positive to report. Great work, team.3

Daily Post (Sunday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: No
Goal/Day: Today was 1yr since the passing of my mom. I knew today would be rough but it was really a lot harder than I could imagine. I went over my calorie allowance by a lot. Went to mom's favorite restaurant Red Lobster and ordered her meal and dessert which were a ton of calories. Didn't have it in me to do my exercises, just did some house cleaning and laundry.3 -
Good morning! Happy Monday!
At work. Got up early and got on treadmill for 30 minutes. I was able to jog at a faster pace today.1 -
What can you do? What will you do?

Track: Yes, Did good all day until night. Then I binged. I ate two coffee cakes.
Calories: Over
Exercise: 30min treadmill before work.
Goal/Day: Pretty good day! I worked Sunday to get some peace and quiet. Mood is fair. I'm still stressing about my job. I'm trying to keep positive. I did good with my calories until bedtime. Then I ate two coffee cakes right after eating a low calorie dinner. I'm going to try some of @johicks strategies for binging next time.
