    Hello and happy Sunday everybody. My son and his girlfriend were out in my neighborhood last night so they spent the night after a party. When they left this morning they left a half a bag of tortilla chips which I got into earlier! I can’t be trusted with anything. And I’ve been so determined not to gain back any weight over the weekend. I worked so hard all week long and I just don’t want to undo my good work! Why is it that it takes forever to lose a pound but you can gain five pounds in one meal!!

    Happy Sunday everyone!
    I am still hanging in with my 15 minutes of Pilates challenge. To be perfectly honest the best part is the first minute. You lay on your back with your knees bent feet flat on the floor and your bones sink into your mat and you slowly take deep breaths. Very calming.
    I had a great day, pedicure with my friend. Food is on target. I had extra calories and made a baked sweet potato and added natural almond butter.
    I am trying something new tomorrow with my coffee. I use at least six tablespoons of fat free vanilla coffee creamer, it is too many carbs. I bought fat free half and half and trivia. Hopefully I will not be too disappointed tomorrow morning.

    @lennoncpa I too cannot be trusted. I have to rush through the store to not buy my hot buffalo wing pretzels. My friend bought me small chocolate bars for my birthday, I had to give them to my other friend because I would have eaten all of them on the car ride home.

    @Barbb1557 I can relate so much!! It’s funny because just yesterday I was thinking that I have a new car and I’m being a bit neurotic about parking it way at the back of parking lots so that I don’t get dinged by other cars AND the best part is that I won’t eat in the car yet!!! I get all these urges while I’m driving but then I remember that I don’t want to get my car messed up! It’s a great way to control my eating!! At least while I’m in my car!! 😀😀😀😀. I hope the new car thing lasts for a really long time!!!

    Sorry! It has been a little crazy. Shower was nice, I got a dress for the wedding and I didn't do too bad with eating. No time to exercise unfortunately. I ended up staying in Pa another night so I will be heading back to the shore tomorrow afternoon. I will catch up in the morning.

    Weekend check in
    Food: not logged, sure I was over, mostly good choices
    Water:not enough
    Steps and exercise Low and none

    So here I am...I went to bed at 11 and was wide awake in my bed at 2 am. My legs hurt for some reason so I took some ibuprofen and laid back down for an hour. Nothing..so I just got up. I don't know what is going to happen, I didn't have coffee because I was hoping I would get tired but that didn't happen. Now I will probably be dragging all day...So I had a busy but fun weekend. The shower was lovely, I was proud of myself. I went around to the tables and introduced myself to the bride's family. It was nice to see family and friends of course. The bride's mother said to my college friends that she wants me to learn some line dance but never said a word to me. She told them like 5 times. Ugh! I think I am going to make everyone learn it so we can go up together. Dress shopping went better than I thought, I got the 1st dress that I tried on. I kept trying them on but after 5 it seemed like a waste since none held a candle to that one. It is navy which is the same color I wore for Nicole's wedding. I will post a picture but the pictures don't do it justice. I was told I should wear my hair up and no necklace. I will also post pics from the shower.

    Today-I have to make a plan. Strangely I was so tired last night I didn't even do that. This no sleep is throwing a wrench into my day. I have to take MK to see her counselor at 1 and then I will be going to the shore. I was planning to exercise this morning and be done with it but now this whole sleeping thing has thrown me off. If I go back to bed, I will ride my bike at the shore. I have had really low steps and no exercise so I want to be sure to get it in today.

    Great job everyone last week! We did awesome! Let's keep it going!!


    @zumba_luvah I am glad you are still with us. You were moved to the cheer squad since you missed weighing in. I will have you put back in the challenge. Hope all is going well.
    @Cafelelia Oh no! Those colds spread so easily! Hope you are feeling better soon! Thanks for picking up the slack for me this weekend. I have such a hard time getting on the computer when I have guests. I feel rude. This should almost be over as the summer is winding down for me. I have my last guests Thursday through Sunday but I think they will go off by themselves from time to time so I should be able to get on here daily.
    @lennoncpa What an awesome day you had between the gym and party! Great job staying away from the cake! It is about 10 months with no sweets for you! Ahhh...those darn tortilla chips are taking down our team Lol! I hope you threw them in the trash! Better wasted in the trash than wasted on your *kitten* (got that from my PNP podcasts ;) )
    @kirsten11872 Maintaining is better than a gain. You have been in a little slump, longer than usual. The month is half over, let's make the most of the rest of September!
    @McKay85 I thought we lost you since you didn't weigh in last week! I hope all is going well. Remember we are here if you need us!
    @ihp2015 That is right! New week, fresh start! I know you get busy but make yourself a priority. You know what to do, you have come so far!
    @phoebe112476 Glad you had a good week and sounds like the scale is agreeing with you! That darn popcorn must have just been enough to keep you from losing. Hope your home projects are coming out the way you like.
    @Barbb1557 Don't let that weight derail you. You know it is from fluid. Do you notice it anywhere like your feet or ankles? Be sure to keep drinking water to flush your system. I don't have any suggestions with seasoning to use in place of salt. You may have to go by trail and error with this one. I like the idea with the creamer. I wonder if you add a little vanilla in with the sweetner if you would get that vanilla flavor too. I use the fat free creamer, it is pretty good. Now you just have to tweek with the sweetner to get it how you like it.
    @Mrsbell8well 18 miles!! Wtg Angelina and Molly!! Glad you had a nice weekend!
    @GingerPwr Me too girl! I am thinking next time to include them in my plan and count them out. I think going right from the bag is too tempting for me. Hope the rest of the weekend went well and you were on track.
    @amytriesww Feel better soon! Amazing loss this week!
    @CassieGetsFit2013 Fantastic loss this week! Take advantage of being in rehab and all it has to offer. You are in my prayers. No worries about the weigh in. If we don't hear from you, we will assume you are in rehab. xoxo
    @twyla77 Nice loss! Hope things settle down for you soon!
    @hope002 Even though you ate more than you wanted, you have been doing really well lately so I am sure one off day isn't going to ruin your progress. Keep going girl!!

    @sleepymom5 - beautiful daughters and beautiful dress :)

    Sorry I haven't been checking in but been busy. House went on the market last Thursday and have been busy with showings. We had an offer last night and apparently another one is coming in today. Looks like I can move from keeping a super clean house to packing :) Poor Lucy with all the strangers coming into her house. We came home on Saturday and baby was locked upstairs. Luckily no "accidents" :)

    Yesterday I started to get back on track. I've been sloppy with dairy and sugar but time to stop it.

    Have a great day everyone!!

    Check in for Sunday

    Food - logged but couldn’t eat all calories due to illness
    Exercise - nothing other than coughing & blowing my nose a lot
    Water - 2l

    Feeling much better today! My husband and I took our younger boy for a medical appointment this morning. Everything is just fine & he is healthy. After we dropped him at school, we talked about taking more time to stop and express gratitude for our blessings, like health. We both have a tendency to focus on life’s problems & trying to solve them. It was a nice reminder to be grateful for all that we have.

    @jedaschultz -Outstanding loss, congratulations!!

    @carlsoda - Best of luck with the offers, hope it all goes well!!

    @sleepymom5 - So glad you had a great weekend! You, your daughters and your soon to be daughter-in-law are all beautiful! I love the dress and you look great in it! I think we are around the same age and I gotta say, you have lovely skin! Tell us your secrets (aside from genetics)!? Thanks for sharing the photos!

    @CassieGetsFit2013 - Wish you all the best in rehab and sending you a big hug. We are here for you whenever you need us!

    Checking in. It has been a slow day. A few of you have mentioned trouble sleeping. My doctor has worked with me and I generally can fall asleep and return to sleep after bathroom trips in the middle of the night. All of that has ended and I am voraciously hungry. This has slowly changed since I started a new med for anxiety. I left my Dr. a message and explained I am stopping the med with her permission.
    I spent decades getting up between 2 and 3 and not being able to get back to sleep. It started in college and it is a horrible feeling.

    I am excited at the thought that I may be able to get my hunger under control again and sleep better.

    @sleepymom5 Your pictures of you and your daughters, and daughter in law, are so beautiful! You look so young!

    @CassieGetsFit2013 Good luck!

    I don’t really have addictive food items like chips, cookies, ritz crackers and buffalo pretzels. But...this weekend I created a carmelized apple cinnamon French toast casserole. OMG...I could not stop eating it. Had 2 servings for breakfast and a serving for dinner. With little vegan maple sausages on the side. Melted vegan butter, maple syrup drizzled (ok poured) over top...I was in heaven and hell. It got me. There was a smidge leftover. I demolished that at lunch today. It was soooooo good and I was soooo bad. I’m planning on making a pumpkin version. I adore custardy things and never thought I could enjoy that again. But the recipe was a success. Diet...not so much.

    @sleepymom5 the tortilla chips made it half into my *kitten* and half in the trash! Funny I never thought about it that way but I will definitely think of that from now on!! I can even visualize it!! Lol

    @sleepymom5 I love your flower dress - my favourite style

    I have a friend/neighbour, she is lovely, loves to cook. Ever since she found out that I am trying to lose weight, it feels like she is sabotaging my efforts. Ex: she knows I looove bread and anything related. Today she sent me this, with a message: come over if you want

    It's freshly homemade pretzels 😳😳😳
    I had to really fight with myself to finally say: thanks, but I'll pass.

    Check in for Monday
    Food logged and on track
    Water 80 oz
    Exercise 30 min bike
    Steps over 7,500

    I need to run. I have PT. Good day yesterday. I have another busy day today. PT first, then trying my dress on for my sister in law and then cleaning. I think I may ride the bike before cleaning though...I will check in later. Have a great day everyone!


    @carlsoda I can't believe how quickly everything is coming together! I know that dairy starts messing with you after a while. Hopefully you are back on track. It is a lot to think about but you will be much happier when things settle back down if you followed your plan. I am so excited for you!
    @jedaschultz Awesome loss! I am glad you had a great week! I am with you, a loss is very motivating!
    @Cafelelia I am glad you are feeling better and your son had a good checkup. Hopefully everyone is feeling better now. I also need to take more time to count my blessing. And thank you, I am lucky with my skin but it is starting to show my age now Lol! I didn't forget about that challenge, I haven't had time to write it up.
    @Barbb1557 That was a fluke for me Sunday night. I am usually able to fall right asleep and like you, go back to sleep after the bathroom brakes. It is a horrible feeling. Are you going to take something else for anxiety or see how it goes?
    @Mrsbell8well That sounds so yummy! I can see why it would be hard to stop at a serving.
    @amsandos Maintaining isn't bad and you didn't gain. Sounds like you have a good plan for the week. Let's do this!!
    @lennoncpa Lol! Me neither until she said it on the podcast. If it is something you shouldn't be eating, you are really wasting it even if you are eating it.
    @gottagetthisdown Hope all is going well. Are you still seeing the nutritionist? Remember to check in if you need us, sometimes checking in keeps people on track.
    @GingerPwr That is absolutely a win!! Awesome restraint there my friend!
    @hope002 Your workouts just amaze me. You are doing awesome! Sometimes it does seem like people are trying to ruin your efforts. You handled it beautifully! Give yourself a pat on the back. Thanks for the compliment on the dress, I loved it too. When I was trying it on I was hoping it would fit.
    @phoebe112476 Fantastic loss my friend!

    Checking in
    Yesterday I was on track with food but felt very hungry.
    Today has been really good including a workout with my trainer. We started working on a machine where you pull yourself up with weighted assistance. The last time I used the machine I weighed 135, at 234 it is a whole other experience. John was so good to me, we worked on 2 at a time for 3 rounds of 6. You can also do 'dips' and I was able to do 3 rounds of 12. Huge success and a machine I will use every time I go to the gym because it will get easier as I become stronger and weigh less and it will be something tangible like smaller jeans :-)

    my doc for anxiety is so slow to give me new meds, it is very frustrating. Once I am off the Ability for 2 weeks I will push harder. It was harder taking off my ring today after stopping the hctz, water pill. Hopefully things will even out. I am nervous about my weigh in tomorrow.

    @Hope002 those pretzels, yikes they look so yummy. Could there be a serving of passive aggressiveness from your neighbor?

    GingerPwr Shot score on avoiding the cupcakes A very solid victory! Congratulations!
