Another restart... I think I should. I don't know what has happened to my will power over food. Stress from work, lack of sleep and other factors will always be an issue but I need to recommit myself to healthier eating habits. True I am more active then I have ever been but my diet needs to get back on track. I'm promising myself that today and tomorrow and for the rest of the month. I am not looking for a monday, beginning of a new month or the day after weigh ins... I am looking at now because tomorrow is always the excuse but today is the action
I feel like those are words from my mouth! I feel the exact same I’ve been struggling the past few days with my food choices and I’m trying not to beat myself up and fly off the wagon. I’m with you and recommitting to better choices 👍🏻
@abowersgirl & @Ar_cervantes
Just what I needed to hear this morning. After another day of not quite getting back on track after vacation I debating with myself that I could either start today or wait until Monday like I’ve always done in the past. Problem is that Monday might roll around and I’ll make more excuses. Nothing like today to get back on track and start working hard toward my goal.3 -

I can do better this month is a new month. Time to get my head in the game. I'm sick of this yo-yo number
@abowersgirl, it's only a little more than a pound and you are still in the 30's, so you are still very much in the game! You just need to tell your head that, like you said!0 -

@murdog3t, not all weeks can be "down" weeks. How are you doing, Tami? How's work going since you have been back? How are your injuries feeling these days? All good I hope!!0 -

Weigh in this week is 166.6 (Tuesday, July 30)
Previous 165.8
up .8 oz (reflection of my busy week).
This week doesn't seem to be slowing down, but I needed to get my weight in. Monday things will be looking up for me.@justakygirl, welcome Scherita! Milestone birthdays are great motivators to make us want to lose the weight!! Congratulations on losing the first 48 pounds already....less than half to go!! Maybe you won't reach your goal by the time you turn 40, but you can still reach it while you are 40!!
@haswlrs thank you
@justakygirl, point eight up in a busy, busy week is not too bad at all!! Hoping that things have settled down for you now, and you can begin to reverse this little "up".0 -
Thanks @HASWLRS for the well wishes. Wee one is on the mend after a rough week but now seems back to her happy self 👍🏻
As expected, a bump in the road this week.
Last week - 215
This week - 216.2
Up 1.2lb
@Coral333, like you said, it is only a bump in the road....the road will get smoother, I promise!!0 -

I'm just bouncing around . . . . .
Can't seem to get my act together. I do have a long (long for me) bike ride scheduled for Sunday with a time cut off. I'm just hoping I don't get a DNF (that's what they give you even if you finish the course but are over the time limit)
@cossmoss15, well, at least the bounces go both ways!! How did your bike road go? Did you officially finish, or unofficially finish? Calling it a DNF is just wrong!!0 -

yes/yes/yes
You guys, THIS DAY is how you all being on my team helps me. Some friends came by for a good-bye gathering, and we met other friends at a new local beer/wine place. I drank a beer and had some cheese and stuff. I logged it all and came up short 144 calories for the day.
SO, I just strapped on my headphones, put on a good podcast, and headed out for another walk around the neighborhood. So I could get three yeses, and not let you down.
THANK YOU!!!
@annabananamc, no, thank YOU for being so inspiring!! I've never seen anyone handle a move before with such determination to not gain weight, and then succeeding at it!! Granted, it is not be easy, but you have shown us that it can be done!!0 -

Sorry guys, Lot of stuff going on this week. I stayed consistent with running, at least, and started speed work. I need to work on food.
@susanpiper57, the food part...it'll come. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!), summertime does come with added food opportunities. Weather the storm the best you can because fall will be here soon enough!! Great job on being consistent with your training!!0 -

Mini Challenge, Sunday, 8/4/19:
Tracking - no
Under - no
Exercise - no
Said I was going to start the mini challenge this week, but just couldn’t get motivated yesterday. Enjoyed one last lazy day of vacation before going back to work today. On a positive note, I have meals prepped and planned for the week and started the day today with a walk at the gym. Enjoyed vacation but ready to get back into my routine again.
@pkg1998, being ready to get back into your routine is one thing, but actually preparing for it is how you succeed!! Well done on starting the day off with a walk!!0 -
