WEIGHT NO MORE TEAM CHAT - JULY 2019

I went to my friend's this afternoon and brought the new yarn - one is just loops that you "weave together" to make a hat or whatever. The other is a thick yarn you "crochet" with your fingers. I was hoping she could feel the loops and at first that seemed to be the case. She stuck her fingers in the loops and liked the texture. But trying to use both hands became very frustrating because the sense of touch just isn't there. And being blind made it that much more frustrating. BUT she is a stubborn woman and told me she would keep trying and will wear the hat she makes to church when it gets cold! Her caretaker promised to help as much as possible.4

I am not sure if I will have time to get on here tomorrow except to post my weight. I ended up being out until 9pm! I had so much fun even though it wasn't what I expected at all. I will catch up with everyone at some point. My niece and her 3 kids are coming at 11 tomorrow and I have to get out early and shop. I will check in when I can.
@nstephenson01 Safe travels!
@ljdanny Nice loss! You have really been working hard so I think this time you will get past the 5lb mark! I know you can do it. You know it is going to be hot if New Hampshire is supposed to get to 100s. I think the pool is the place to be Lol! I hope the new color for the room they are happy with. Ugh! I am sure in the end it will look great though!
@pacsnc6 I didn't even think about her sense of touch not being very sensitive. Maybe if she can relax and take her time, with the caregiver's help, she can do it. It was very kind of you to try to instruct her, I am sure that was difficult.4 -

I had a really fun day yesterday. Unfortunately I am paying for it today because I need to finish up getting ready for my guests to arrive around 11 am! Got to go but will try to check in later. I had a good day yesterday for the most part.
@Moarrein Nice loss!! Nice day yesterday-you do awesome with working working out. You seem to be doing well with eating too so I am not surprised you are down!

What would Corinne tell you to do? Eating through stress isn't going to help the stress. In fact it creates more stress as you have the guilt of eating added on. Although your clients are concerned, it's their fears not yours. Don't take ownership of it, after all you are leaving for a reason. Your boss is a jerk and gets paid too much money to be doing nothing. Maybe the clients can eventually leave that branch and go to another one? But it's up to them to make a change. Make sure you spend some time listening to the podcast today!!3 -
Thursday Check In
Food - almost on plan
Water - great
Exercise - 11,000+ steps and some quick yoga
My food plan was a little off. I think the plantain chips are creating cravings in me. I think they are too carby for my body so I will back off them starting now (they are all gone). I did maintain this week, so I really know how much I can truly eat and not gain weight LOL!! But, back to losing again, I am almost back into the healthy weight range...1.6 lbs and I'll be there!
Hope everyone has a great Friday!!!4 -

@lennoncpa you have fun!! I hope you get some rest. and we will work on that gain when you get back. time to start planning girl!
@Mrsbell8well lovely bra. so feminine. and I think you would be a great blogger. but the new in thing is podcasts. kinda like blogging but just speaking the words instead of writing. or lots of people do both!! it is going to be an exciting time for you!
@hope002 you are gorgeous lady! that place your at looks amazing. where is it? ohh never mind, I read your next post. british Columbia. wow that is beautiful.
@nstephenson01 well at least it is going in the right direction. I know you wanted more but you keep working at it and it will happen exactly when it is suppose to! the beck diet solution can be an eye opener. look at the new nancy go. you are planning ahead. that is wonderful. you have learned so much and have accomplished great things. be proud today and pat yourself on the back.
@carlsoda awhhh, thanks hubsters!! I am glad you didn't give up. from what you say it makes you feel so much better. is hubby doing the whole 30 too? and mmmm I love orange chicken! and funny, I have thought about becoming a life coach. but I am really wondering if it is just a fad.
@sleepymom5 and maybe what you need to spend some time journaling in you new journal about is why you don't care at the time. I am working thru the same thing. and mistakes like eating the cookies are a valuable learning experience when you spend the time to figure out what your faulty thinking was that made it ok to eat them. only then will you be able to figure out how to change it for good. keep working. it's hard. we have thought like this for a very long time. we have had 4 applications. I don't know where they are in the process and I may not know.
@ljdanny nice loss girl. I am happy dancing for you. no and you don't "ALWAYS" lose 5 then gain 6. be careful what you say to yourself your brain will try to make it come true. and I get it was your reality in the past. but you have changed this time. this time you are going to do what it takes and not quit until you get there. lol and the kids changed their minds about the color. ohhh I have so been there sister!!

@pacsnc6 awwhhh I am so happy she is going to continue to try. I think it would really help her with her dexterity to try and master this. ohhh yea girl. look at you with the loss this week. happy dancing on the ceiling!!. you had a great week. keep that up!!
@Moarrein I am really dancing all around! look at you go girl. nice loss. 1.2 pounds is perfect!!
@sleepymom5 phew! I am doing the happy dance a lot today! super happy the scale went in the right direction! good job. keep working your plan girl. and no worries, the boss is a no show today so I have nothing to do. I will try to keep up with the pace you set!!
@lenka1 ohhhh yes! another loss. good job how have you been doing? I miss hearing from you.
@carlsoda maintains are good and yes that is better than a gain. now me and you next week are going to get a loss. kay? and your right eating thru stress won't help the stress in fact it creates more cause now I feel like crap physically too. and thanks your right. I will find a pod cast that helps lift me up! this is a great time in my life. I don't want to crowd out the good feelings with stress eating. I will just feel the stress and enjoy the ride cause I know this is part of Gods plan for my life. this job was not healthy for me, it was one of the major contributors to my compulsive overeating. it stops here. and I am seriously considering going no sugar and no flour. I think I just may be an addict and those are my choice drugs. when I eat them I can feel the uneasiness. I don't know still thinking.
@Julie8468 hey girl!! maintains are good. how are you doing? really miss you checking in with us. I know you have been struggling. smile lady! it looks good on you.2 -

you can also use this model backwards. start at the bottom and think about what are the results you want. work backwards up the thought model. this is a proven strategy. it shows you what you have to think in order to make it your results a reality. give it a try. journal about it. spend some time with your thoughts.

Hello everyone & TGIF!!!! I hope you are all doing well! I have not been on her much, just been busy. I fell off the wagon most of the week, but got back on track yesterday. Leaving for Vegas on Wednesday, so I will make the best of the time I have before I go, but nowhere near where I wanted or thought I would be.
I have dinner plans with the girls tonight, so I am eating lightly all day so I can accommodate for tonight, but I am still going to try to eat lightly tonight as well. I am hoping by some miracle I do not have a gain tomorrow, but as of right now I am up some. We will see
tomorrow.
I will still be in Vegas next Saturday, so I think I am going to do my WW weigh-in on Wednesday and that is when I will post my weight on here as well. Let me know if that is ok @cyndiesstuff @sleepymom5
Have a great day & weekend! I will try to catch up with everyone's posts soon!

With all the activities I had when camping, I still managed to gain 2lbs in 2 weeks.
his is to prove AGAIN, "you can never outrun your diet"2 -
@kirsten11872 yup that's fine that you check in on Wednesday for next week. look out vegas!! I hope you have amazing weather for your vacation.
@carlsoda that's what I thought! phew. i am glad it was a typo!!
@hope002 ohhh no. ok. you know what you have to do. now lets get busy and get back on track. do not let this get to you. this is a tough gig. work on improving slowly. you will get there. one day at a time.2 -
This weekend is going to be so hot. I am spending it in the pool. I will go to Zumba on Sunday. I won't get my outdoor walks in. I was going to paint or clean my house when I got home from work today but my husband shuts the AC off during the day. Today was not the day to do that. The house was so hot I plopped on the couch. I did finally start moving some things out of the room and taking the pictures down off the wall. I'm usually up pretty early on the weekend so hopefully it won't take me long to paint the room. I like the heat but 100 is a little much. For everyone experiencing the heat wave stay safe and cool.1

Good morning friends!
Yes it is a hot one today. We’re having a pool party for my teams today. Not too many are coming with busy summers/vacations and all. But that’s ok we will thoroughly enjoy the pool. We’re making burgers vegan and normal. Others are bringing sides.
I’m on day 5 of my cleanse. I drink all day long fresh juices and some store bought cold pressed. Celery, beet, cabbage, carrot, ginger, spinach...I throw it in our juicer. The last 2 days I added a chopped vegetable salad with 1/2 an avocado. And last night I steamed green beans and boiled new potatoes purple red and white. It’s shocking how much weight I have been losing daily. I also drink mango juice and fresh orange juice. This morning 139.8. I’m 3 pounds under goal. And it has been so easy. On day 3 I also added fresh strawberries and a cantaloupe plus a plum last night. This week I have purposely not done any exercise. I wanted to focus on the cleanse. Plus I drink lots of water and herb teas. I love the way my body looks. Exercise is so important but getting rid of the extra fat by modifying our food intake seems to have a faster result than exercise. I added 1/2 cup of oats to my smoothie this morning. I may continue to eliminate salt, sugar, oil and wheat for another week to finish transitioning off the cleanse. I’m really glad I’m doing it. I’m sleeping great.
Last night I counted my blessings: I love how my body looks, I love my new bras and pretty panties, I love my cute little wardrobe, my pretty little earrings, my new hair cut, my job, my wife, my family, my team here on MFP...
I’m 62 years old. I have had many ups and downs in my life. I am so deeply grateful to be in such a blessed space in time.7 -
