I will be back tomorrow...in a nutshell...My niece, her husband and their 3 little ones (7,3,16 months) came down at 11 am yesterday. All is going well...then my brother in law (her father) called at 6 pm saying he and his wife were coming down to stay too as they didn't want to be in traffic on Saturday. So we do a little shuffling around with the sleeping arrangements for that. 8 pm my niece tells me that her sister and her 3 month old baby are coming too. So more shuffling around...Ugh! It all worked out and ended up being fun but a total loss for doing anything today. I am pooped!
They all did finally leave for their rental this afternoon. I will check in tomorrow.7 -
Sorry, guys I haven’t been supporting you here much at all lately.
Summer is just busy and I switched to maintenance mode til my kid goes back to school in September.
It’s too hard to get my lifts and cardio in so I just kept the gym workouts for now and eating more calories to maintain. I miss jogging and walking a lot but it’s too hard to fit in everything with no kid free days.
I try to read most of the posts so I’m still aware of how it’s going:)
Hope everyone is having a great summer!

Sorry I have been awol. I have been having problems with my board band and haven't been able to get on the internet. With my life guarding exam and life I haven't been able to sort it out until now. I have done a reset and everything seems to be working fine now. I think I also need to do a reset on my weight loss commitment. I am pleased to say that I passed my life guarding course. I had done bit of practice although I have to say it was the most laid back assessment I have ever done. The assessor would break of into chatting and then asked us questions not on the assessment sheet. We did the fitness test and the assessor said as the fitness test was two rescues we didn't need to demonstrate our ability to do a rescue because we had already done it.One of my tri buddies said it was the fastest he had ever seen me swim. When I finished the test it was like someone had opened the top on a shaken coke bottle. I did a massive stress eat. I came home did my turbo session and eat and drank.
This week I am going to do a plan. I am going to commit to journalling my food.
@carlsoda and @sleepymom5 I have very definitely broken pact. I could reset the clock or except that this tool is not working for me at this time. I will of course by there for you if you are managing to stick to it.

@amsandos congratulations on passing life guard test. That’s quite an accomplishment! How much more weight do you want to lose? I would recommend setting a goal date and breaking that down to weekly goals and nailing them each week no matter what. Be determined and finish this goal. You can do it!
@sleepymom5 what a wonderful family get together. You are such a fun generous person.
@kirsten11872 hope you have lots of fun in Las Vegas. Glad you were able to maintain your weight. I know how hard you work for it.
@lenka1 you have been missed. It really is hard to find a good life balance. Sounds like your doing a great job maintaining.
@cyndiesstuff sorry to hear your pain has flared up. You mentioned you are thinking about eliminating flour and sugar. You might want to try a 30 day commitment or even a 1 week. So much is mental. I find when I make a commitment the first few days are rough and then it just doesn’t matter so much. I think in the beginning your still questioning whether or not your going to do it.
We talk about struggles and plateaus. The worst challenges I faced on this journey have all been mental vs food related. How much did I really want it? How serious was I? And my fears needed to be confronted. Near the end I was actually worried would I be too thin? Would my pretty clothes still fit me? Would my legs and arms look like skeletons? Some of this was conscious but some thoughts were unconscious.
When I finally quit caring, I was able to focus on my goal at all costs. I quit caring how tasty that dessert would be, how flat my butt was looking, what my coworkers would think at the meeting that I wasn’t eating the catered lunch, how good those T-Bone steaks looked, my growling stomach at night...I just quit caring. Nothing mattered to me more than hitting my goal and doing everything I knew I needed to do to make that happen.
We all get determined and redetermined. We make new plans. That’s great!...but there has to be a time that you finally start making a Commitment to yourself...and keeping that commitment. We must learn to honor our words to ourself. We have to be people that are honorable. Others in my life know that if I say I am going to do something they can count on me to keep my word. I will honor my commitment to you and I take just as seriously the commitment that I make to myself.
Team set your goals and meet them. Just do it!

Week Four Group Challenge from the Workout Warriors
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10755380/week-four-group-challenge-from-the-workout-warriors/p1?new=11 -
We only had 1 person show up for pool party. Good thing is our house is now clean. I really wasn’t surprised and I did very minimal planning. I have a new cook book “vegan comfort cooking”. I have been promising Molly I would make the crispy cornmeal waffles with maple syrup cherry tomatoes as soon as I was at a certain weight. Today’s the day!
Working on finances today and more pool time.
Stay cool everyone!1 -
Btw...anyone looking for extra motivation and entertainment, I highly recommend you look up Movie_chair blog under popular blogs. You can search her archives and start from her first post. Spoiler alert...she just reached her goal 140 pounds lost.1

@amsandos - congratulations on passing! One thing on my bucket list is to retake swimming lessons. I am such a bad swimmer yet I think it would be so fun. Last swimming class I took was probably when I was 10 😂 As to the pact, you did have a lot going on, shall we try again next month? Did you read what Mrsbell8well wrote to Cyndie. It is a huge mental game and we need to relearn how we respond to food. I think that is why I am loving PNP right now. I even relisten to podcasts because I always get something new out of them. I also had to break the pact yesterday as I wasn’t feeling well even though I didn’t eat much yesterday I did have some sugar in my Oatmeal! (Stabilizing a queasy tummy)
@cyndiesstuff sorry about the flare up, does the weather play into it too? Want to join me with no sugar, no flour for 30 days? 😁
@Mrsbell8well love your post to Cyndie. This is exactly what I am trying to work through, my relationship with food. Finally at 54 I am going to put a stop to this. It’s only food right? 😁
Remember I said I felt I was coming down with something early in the week and I was just craving food, by Friday evening I felt so sick. I managed to make dinner but didn’t eat any. Yesterday still not feeling well and what I did eat wasn’t Whole30 as I was trying to get my queasy stomach under control. By evening I felt so much better and had a normal dinner. So Whole30 is done for now. But it did what I needed it to do, get my sugar cravings under control. I will still continue eating a similar plan, but just not quite so tight. I have a vision on what my diet should be for the rest of my life and staring today I will be living it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!3 -

I have to say I did have a fun weekend. I didn't do great,but it wasn't too bad either. I did do a little mindless eating but caught myself, I didn't always make the best food choices but I watched my portions and did pay attention to the hunger scale. I also had only two drinks each day which was great because there was a lot of drinking going on. Everyone is here on vacation and I can't afford to be in vacation mode every time someone is down. I am back on track today and I do not have any regrets for the weekend. Now to work on cleaning up my eating a little when people are visiting .
@cyndiesstuff Sorry that I was MIA . I was not expecting that. I should be good for a bit now. Lol! Hope your pain is better today. The heat is bad enough but having pain on top of it makes things worse. I am not surprised that you are stressed. Take one day at a time.
@kirsten11872 It is Vegas time already! Whoo hoo! It is ok to weigh in Wed for this week. Make the best of the time before you go and have a plan while you are there. Hope you have a great trip!
@amsandos Congratulations on passing your test!! I am not surprised though-you worked very hard at it. I think a plan for the week is a great way to start getting your eating under control. Maybe you should think of making a plan for stressful times too and maybe what you can do instead of eating. Planning is key! I also broke the pact yesterday. I wouldn't mind restarting in August if you are interested.
@hope002 Yes that is so true, they do say that most weight loss is the diet. However, you did have an active vacation so just think if you didn't. Give yourself credit for all the exercise you did while away. That isn't too bad of a gain for being away. Sounds like you are doing a good job getting back on track, you had a good day Saturday!
@ljdanny Ugh! It is just too hot. Pool day sounds perfect to me!
@Mrsbell8well I wanted to give you a hug when you when you were counting your blessings. Life is good! xoxo
@DananaNanas The scale is still moving in the right direction. How are things going? Are you getting to the gym? I forget if your husband goes too...Check in if you need anything. Hugs my friend.
@carlsoda I am glad you are feeling better. I know even off the Whole 30 you eat super healthy so I know your eating plan with be awesome!
@CassieGetsFit2013 I am glad you got your batteries finally I know you do well when you log your food. Maybe make a plan with your food and exercise. Just do something simple that you like for 15 or 20 min and increase it a little each week. You just need to get back on track. I know you have a lot of other things going on but take some time to take care of yourself physically too. Let us know if you need anything. We always love to hear from you!3 -

Hello Team! Haven’t been able to check in as its been a chaotic couple of days. Detroit got hammered by a big storm. My flight from Detrot to Harrisburg was delayed several times and ultimately canceled and I was forced to spend Friday night in Detroit. The entire airport was shut down for hours. Hotels were booking fast but I was able to find a room and made it there around 1 am. Rushed back to the airport first thing in the morning as I was rebooked on a morning flight but sometime overnight I was bumped to a flight scheduled for late saturday night. Delta and Detroit airport failed miserably. What a nightmare. You truly see the best and worst in people, mostly the worse, during times like these. My heart just broke for so many people especially the elderly, handicapped and those traveling with children. I had it relatively easy. I kept thanking my body and mind for the stamina, energy and calmness it provided me LOL. I was able to get on an earlier flight but it was also delayed multiple times. Finally made it Harrisburg late Saturday afternoon and my husband and I were able to go out for dinner as planned. We spent a lovely day together yesterday but its too hot to do much. A short visit was made that much shorter.
Eating and water the past few days have been horrible. Today’s food and water will be better. I fly back home tomorrow. Retaining water big time from all the sodium and the heat. As soon as I return home plan will be to get off this sodium train and get my digestive system back on track as well. Think I will spend some time today planning the week’s menu so I have no excuses. I have a hard time kicking salt once i start consuming alot of it. We have a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon so maybe my husband will be in from work early. Doubtful but a girl can dream LOL.
Been trying to keep up on posts but its been hit or miss. Congrats to all the successes and hugs to those of us struggling. Wishing everyone a great week!2 -
@carlsoda thanks for your support. I can tell you if I can do it anyone can do it. Timing is everything. When were ready we just do it. I am rooting for you girl!
@sleepymom5 I am so glad your enjoying your summer especially this past weekend. And look at you getting in swimming too! And I will take that hug thank you xoxo
@twyla77 ahhhh what a sweetie. Thanks for sharing.
@Moarrein that's some fast running. Great job!!! Your always so impressive!
@hope002 great job making wise decisions at your party. perfect example that it can be done.
@amsandos time to get the rest of the month back in alignment. What will you weigh on August 1st?
@cassiegetsfit2013 Time to regroup Cassie. But continuing to check in here is always a great place to start. I know it's not easy to put it all out there. You hang in there.
@dananananas Sounds like a busy time for you. Have you made time for the gym?
I just stumbled across a delightful site...theproducemoms.com features a monthly produce challenge with different seasonal produce highlighted each day. I am going tonight to buy all the produce mentioned for this week. I am using cauliflower to make buffalo cauliflower wraps this week and Molly is going to make something with green beans. I am also making a cherry lime slushie from one of their recipes.
Molly and I were out the door this morning by 6am. She walked with me down to the hospital and I ran the loop around then we walked back together. Such a nice way to start the week. came home and made yummy oatmeal with fresh peaches.
Have a great day everyone!!! Let's finish July strong. The old us would wait until a new month to start fresh...but why wait? Let's achieve that optimal health and get ready for those winter bodies now lol.

Check in for Sunday
Food: on track, started to log and then forgot
Water: at least 64oz
Exercise: 30 min walk
Steps: 7179
Today I need to get back into my regular routine. Logging food, 64 oz water, 6K steps, 30 min exercise, eating only when hungry. I have some cleaning to finish up after my guests and then this afternoon I have PT!! Finally!! I am really interested to see what I can push with this hip without risking injury. I am ready to start healing. Hopefully the exercises I have been doing already started the healing. I really want to get off the ibuprofen and get back to walking. I really miss my beach walks too. I will let you all know how it goes! Today is supposed to be the last of this crazy hot weather. Last night I took Daisy out at 9pm and it was still uncomfortably hot and humid. Looking forward to the heat breaking. I am ready to get back out on the bike and kayak. Have a great day everyone!
@hope002 Another good day! Keep it going, you are doing great!
@amsandos Don't let a gain derail you. I know you know what to do. How are things going?
@nstephenson01 Ugh! What a pain! I am glad you finally arrived safely. Hopefully your flight home is smoother. You unfortunately came when we have record heat. It is supposed to break and be nice tomorrow, when you leave, of course. Do the best you can until you get home. I know you will get back on track!
@Mrsbell8well Glad that you and Molly got out before the heat!4 -

I am kind of disappointed in my weight this week. I worked out at least 5 days this week drank a gallon of water each day, ate what I planned to eat and I felt really good. When I saw that the number on the scale didn't budge I felt like I put in the work and saw no results. I didn't gain any weight so I guess I should be grateful for that, it doesn't seem right. I will continue to work at it and hopefully I will have different results next week.7

Sunday check in:
Food - pretty good
Water - almost on track
Exercise - 10,000+ steps
Yesterday was a pretty good day over all. Went to my daughter's house and had a nice boat ride around the lake (her inlaws have a pontoon and they are neighbors), had fun with baby Owen - oh he is such a happy boy. He's 6 months now and we were sitting down, him on my lap, playing with his toys and he kept looking up and smiling at me. He was happy! We're also started planning a visit with other daughter who lives 6 hours away for a long weekend. Adeline (who is 3) and I plan to make some healthy paleo cookies when we come to visit them. So we were talking about what we would put in them. She had some good ideas...bananas and chocolate chips LOL! I think we'll have lots of fun making some cookies!!
Yesterday I also did Day 1 of C25K!! Breathing was great - I haven't lost that but my legs definitely are weaker! So tonight it's yoga for me and Tuesday I will tackle Day 2! I haven't ran in like 2 years
@nstephenson01 - oh my goodness what an experience you had! Detroit isn't the funniest place to be either. Glad you did make it albeit a shorter visit.
@sleepmom5 - hey great job this weekend! I know it's hard having visitors and trying to stay on track. That's a challenge in itself!!
@mrsbell8well - ok I'm going to check out that site too. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with fruits and veg and it would be nice to be able to do more! Thank you!!

Well up slightly again but not worried about it. We were at my nephew's wedding Saturday and our 35th wedding anniversary was yesterday. My weight was actually down to 200.8 on Saturday morning before we left for the festivities so I'm not going to worry about this little bit. I will get it back down again later this week and we are not scheduled to travel again for a few weeks. My goal is to get solidly into the 100's by September.3 -
Hello and happy Monday everyone. I had a great weekend on my canoe trip and although I didn’t eat my normal food I was able to actually lose weight. I always think I can’t make it if I’m out of my routine, but I think that’s just some negative thoughts that go through my head so that I can talk myself into eating poorly!! It’s all a psychological game isn’t it!!
@cyndiesstuff I actually have a plan for today and I am really going to try to do that all the time.3
