I was just coming over here to remind you about this! You are so good, you beat me to it.broncobuddee wrote: »Me again...
Our team is host of the week two group challenge. This is me begging and pleading for ideas.
To make things easy, you could extend @AustinRuadhain 's mindfulness challenge to the whole F2F family. Or something simple like 30 minutes sweat per day (could include hilarious photos of the sweaty t-shirts afterwards - not necessarily on the body!). I'm sure your fabulous members have even more ideas, amiright?
Sorry @AustinRuadhain and @TeresaW1020 ... I liked your team challenge so I stole it for the group challenge (with credit).2 -

Goals for Saturday:
Taking my daughter and friend to a small local amusement park today. I’ll be packing snacks for the day so I don’t eat snacks there.✅ So pleases with myself for staying away from the amusement park junk food!
Tonight we are going out with some friends. I am going to have a couple of drinks but need to also drink tonnes of water.
Goals for Sunday:
1. Drink 100oz plus of water. We were out until 2am which never happens. I am so tired and know that I’m retaining water.

I missed the last week of last month because I took an impromptu trip, but this month is going to be better. I'm closing in on 100 pounds lost since restarting MFP (high of 341 pounds). I still have a long way to go, but I'm feeling good about it.
Wow, you're down about 12 pounds, amazing! Hope you had a great trip! I just passed 90lbs down from my heaviest, it feels surreal.3 -
@raleighgirl09 Sounds like you made a wise choice for dining out! Happy birthday to your granddaughter!
@Digger61 great job maintaining!
@apple852hk It'd be great if you could moderate your cake. I'd either have to get rid of it or freeze it in pieces as I'd pig out on that baby! Happy birthday!
WOOHOO SLIMPOSSIBLES!!! WE'RE 1st Place! GO Buniphuphu and Raleighgirl!
@mrmcgrath Good luck with the house remodel! WTG with avoiding the skin from the chicken, that's a big deal!

@AustinRuadhain Sounds like you have a great plan for the day, good luck with your office! And I'm sure if you do two minutes of martial arts you'll likely go longer, you're an exercise beast!
@Kres567 Sounds like you have a great day planned! Smart thinking to plan snacks, it's hard to resist those treats at amusement parks.
Sunday check-in
Calories under
Exercise recumbent bike. I try to do 1-2 hours a day and have been going a little longer
Water over
I had a small whoosh, I'm not going to believe it until I weigh in tomorrow.

Thank you @AustinRuadhain and @TeresaW1020 . Your mindfulness challenge and info couldn't have come at a better time. My father passed away yesterday, I have a couple of rough and busy weeks ahead and I'm hoping mindfulness meditation will help me get through it.2 -

Sunday Check in:
Calories: under, but ate into my deficit which I'm not happy about (yep, feeling the same way today)
Exercise: Got 9200 steps cleaning house and hosting a party for 20ish people and one tiny human who was the center of attention =>
Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey
Had a wonderful day with family and friends and our sweet baby Hazel. Grazed through the day on what was out but was careful to not go crazy. I think it worked and I didn't feel deprived nor indulgent - I kept my goals in mind without being a wacko which means I had some things and avoided some others. Two high sodium days means having a few pounds to work back down, was up almost 1 pound this morning.
I have to be ok with this rhythm of my eating will fluctuate - and my weight will fluctuate. Events will arise and sometimes I'll carve out an on-plan approach and sometimes I won't but if I'm mindful, I'll eat less than if I just say the heck with it and dive in. Then I'll do as my slender sisters do and adjust for a few days and get back to the more routine eating. I must learn how to do this part in the same way I approach weight loss because I think that's how I'll avoid an on-again, off-again approach that is just gaining and being sad about it. Been there and done that a few times and am ready to just lose and then be in the maintenance rhythm and let life be life.
@hinemoa2088 - nice loss for the week!!
@mrmcgrath - I love that you are counting not giving into temptation as an NSV! Also going to check out your recommended pod cast
@buniphuphu - congrats and WAY TO GO!!! We're looking forward to your one-derland right along side you =>
@AustinRuadhain - I like the fruit and veggie challenge - I'm way too light on both of late!

Saturday not great because we went out to eat. I felt so bad all day Sunday which really shows me that what I put into my body really matters.

I am struggling with mindset. I am up to the mindfulness challenge. I am frustrated at myself for not staying in calories by the end of each day. I need to change something, just don't know what! I appreciate everyone here. It is helpful to hear from you all...2 -

PW 162.7
CW 163.4
I ate a butter chicken dinner and cakes for my birthday. It was prepared by family so I couldn't decline. I now have a 700gram cake to eat too.
Maybe I'll try have a small slice a day than binge.
Okay, belated, but... (yes, chose an image with a SMALL SLICE -- thinking of you!)
