My steps would have been higher if both dogs didnt wrap their leashes around me as they pulled me into a lovely crack in the road. Lovely scrape on my knee, and taking tylenol before I go to sleep in case I did something to my ankle 😐
@cmhubbard92 Ouch - I certainly hope they didn’t do any real damage. Dogs can be a handful especially with two of them.0 -

@pam1998 my knee is ok(only irritating me when I hit it on something- I'm clumsy) and my ankle seems to be fine which is great, considering I thought it was going to feel worse. A nice relief!cmhubbard92 wrote: »ForLangston wrote: »

Oh dear , Way late and way up 125.6, time to not eat away stress 😳1

I noticed a thread about weigh ins daily rather than weekly. I find myself weighing myself daily and then get upset if the weight increases, as we women know it does at times 🙂and then self sabotage through out the day 🙁. I try to be consistent with either a walk( about 4.5 miles) or a bike ride (21 miles slowly )a few times a week but then I’m hungry and overeat , lets be honest here 😂binge eat carbs 🙁 afterwards. How does everyone allocate protein during the day and following exercise? I’m big time stress eating junk over here uggh .,,thanks sooo much in advance!! Enjoy your day 🙂0

Totally agree! I definitely felt more motivated this week with our additional challenges and with checking in and interacting more frequently. Thanks @erikNJ !1 -

I need a kick up the bahookie with my steps so far this week! It's a classic case of life getting in the way of the things I want to do and the things I know that really I need to do e.g. gym and walking.
I've had a fairly stressful start to my workweek that's kept me tied to my desk quite a bit dealing with crisis after crisis. I've also taken on some after school tutoring in the run up to Christmas to help us out a little with the extra costs so it meant being out of the house from 8am-7:30pm tonight and will be the same tomorrow. I get home just in time to do bedtime with my wee one before collapsing in a heap! I'm aiming for 2 big walks on Saturday and Sunday to even me out a little
Well done to everyone on the team success! So great to see us up there winning again!!0 -
Mini challenge
Sun: no/no/no (Saturday killed my Sunday)
Mon: yes/yes/yes (only got activity cause of work but i’ll take it)
Sitting in jury duty today. Been on my butt for hours now. I did bring protein bars so I wouldn’t have to walk over to fast food on lunch. Going to hit the gym once they let us go so my body actually gets movement today
Hope you weren't kept all day @erikNJ ! I always thought jury duty would be really interesting until I was called up...then I realised it was exactly as you describe. Loads of sitting around and not much activity or even mental stimulation!!0 -
Good day today.
Ran my fastest ever mile. Could not have run a second one at the same pace but did do a slower second one.
Then went to a weight loss support group that runs bimonthly. It’s full of amazing, sensible, lovely people who just understand the battle. We were talking about stress eating and how we then hate ourselves for it and get all those thoughts of “I’m a failure”, “I’ve got no control”. Everyone of us in the same boat. And just talking about it like that, made a lot of that internalised self hate and beating myself up temporarily disappear. We talked about the healthy habits we use for stress instead and how we try and put these into practice. I could do with it running every night!5 -

@LMK02020, hey, Lauren. Late may be an understatement....you actually missed two weeks in a row so you are no longer an official member of TBBT. But you are in luck...if you would like to get back on the official spreadsheet, the registration thread is open for October until this Saturday night. If you would like to be reassigned to TBBT, make sure you let Ashley know that. Otherwise, it is a random assignment.0 -

Hi hello late as always but here I am.
Pretty sure I missed last week, but that's ok because I'm doing terrible so that's great.
156.4 yesterday. Definitely didn't eat in a 7000 calorie surplus the last two weeks, so I'm pretty sure my body just hates me

This is a tough week for me. Not getting to the gym and not getting in any walks either. Just trying to keep my calories under control until I can get back in a good routine next week.
I know my calories will be way over on the weekend so just hoping tomorrow’s weigh in is ok.1 -

@LMK02020 I try to have protein with every meal and snack. I think it helps me feel more satisfied throughout the day. I exercise in the morning before breakfast so I usually make sure I have a little more protein for breakfast.0 -

@eatingfoodles Good to realize that it’s probably not a true gain. If you’ve tracked then maybe go back into your diary and see what might have caused the gain and work on making some changes this week.1 -

Oh I don’t think I deserve any kind of thanks. I just had a moment of open honesty and then all of you really turned this around.
As far as the weighing yourself everyday vs once a week topic, I prefer to do it only around twice a week. Usually around Tuesday to see where I stand and then again on Friday for my actual weigh in.
Now I am not saying I always do that. Like this week I have weighed myself daily and the scale has not budged at all, and of course it is driving me mad. Next week goes back to once or twice2
