    September week 2
    Previous: 297.6
    This week: 297.8

    My week has been rough as my husband worked 70 hours and I had to keep our kids fed, clean the house and take my oldest to preschool. So I am okay with the slight gain with the curve balls I took on. I hope this next week I can see a loss. Tomorrow is a new day. :)

    I’ve been a disaster sorry. Am I too late to weigh in and be part of the challenge this week?

    @lozenger1984, you did miss last week's weigh-in, so as long as you post a weight sometime this week for week #2, you will be fine. Well, at least as far as being a part of the group goes, you will be fine; hope everything else turns out fine as well (hugs).

    @HASWLRS I am so excited about the loss this week. I was worried it was a fluke and kept getting off and on the scale to make sure it was the same. Hopefully it continues. Thank you for all of your encouragement and cheerleading.

    @Audgiebug, if it's any consolation, you actually maintained this week (297.8 was your weigh-in last week as well). So, no harm, no foul. Use it as a learning opportunity. Take a look at last week and figure out what you could have/should have done differently, then make a plan as to how to do it this week! If it seems a bit too overwhelming, than just start with some small change that you know you can do and then build on that. You got this....one week at a time, one day at a time!!

    Monday 9/9/19

    yes/yes/yes

    but I almost shouldn't take this as a win because my choices were poor, my exercise incidental (walking dog and moving boxes) and I ate about 90% of my calories in an indulgent shrimp scampi linguine dinner with wine.

    We'll see what the scale says later this week, but I am not feeling particularly happy with how I've been managing. Time to reset the nutrition for sure. Started today with HEALTHY breakfast, instead of yesterday's wait til 2pm to eat anything and then eat candy corn. Can only get better from there!

    @cmhubbard92, somehow I just knew your "up" from last week was not going to hang around long!! Well done on not letting one unsettled week derail you completely!! Your new routine with your new address, your new job and your new puppy is becoming more and more solidified as time goes on. I am excited for you, to see where it takes you!!

    @lozenger1984, so happy to see this post from you!! Maybe not the number you wanted, but you are still here and determined, so that number will NOT be here much longer, I suspect!!

    Not speaking for the original poster, but I always feel the benefits when I drink extra water. I shoot for 12-16 cups daily

    @Caronell @eriknj I feel more energetic and not so sluggish when I drink more water. It also helps me to feel more full and I eat less. The problem is that I end up using the bathroom an abnnormal amount of times.

    Looks better than it is. Football Sunday was so unhealthy it probably negated Mon & Tue.
    And THAT is why I stay in this rut. Work hard all week, sabotage on the weekend, repeat.

    Today was a long day at work, followed by visiting my mom and my brother before he heads back to Arizona tomorrow. I had a tiny piece of key lime pie(not my favorite, but I'll take it) for a coworker's birthday. Today was active with the pup. Tomorrow we are going to *hopefully* explore a dog park that is 10mins away from home. I have prepped my snack/lunch for work tomorrow, and am just about to head to bed because I am beat!

    @coral333 great job prepping for the week and choosing wisely while out to dinner! Keep up the great work, and hopefully the end of your workweek goes much smoother for you!
