@KellyBgetsfit Thank you for the steps. Nice job with your steps. So sorry to hear your baby is sick. Nothing worse than a sick baby. Hope they feel better soon. Glad to hear your eating went well. Wishing you more sleep and a healthy baby.1

@KellyBgetsfit - so many hugs flying your way. The hours of missed sleep are one of my strongest memories of early motherhood. My first was an insomniac - never slept more than a couple of hours at a time for 4 years. Don't worry for a minute about missing workouts, but take some good moments when you can to breathe deeply, stretch, and put your shoulders down. And hopefully you can sleep when the baby sleeps during the day a bit, at least on the weekends. Keep well, and look at those steps anyhow! Well done!3

Steps: 2,444
If only my successful phone interview for a job a mile away could make up the rest of the missing 3,500 steps, that’d be great!
I’ll be filling in for a woman on pregnancy leave, working at the pool I go to in the PT department I hope to work in as a PT Assistant after I’m graduated from the Associates program. Whee!
Tomorrow is Monica’s birthday and I’ll be in the car to and from Boston. With luck, we’ll get to a museum to contribute to the family plan she wants for her birthday (the MFA, where she can have guests). Seems like a win-win to me.
If I don’t get my steps recorded tomorrow, I’ll be sure to post them on Saturday.

I worked hard this week eating right. I was so afraid the scale wouldn’t drop, but it did! My husband is my cheerleader at home, he is doing this with me. It helps a ton!9 -
I’m going to use my weight on New Years Day to be my starting weight because that is when I started eating healthy.
SW 164.2
Last week weight 161.7
CW 159.9
Not sure if we are supposed to post last week weight or starting weight? Don’t know what PW stands for? Is it previous weight?
This week was rough!!! Starting off with Monday being 15 hrs at work and then every other day with being 10-14hr days! I did not make it to the gym I was exhausted! Today will be a normal hour day at work so plan to go to gym and then taekwondo after. I stayed on my diet. Resisted pizza 2 times at work which was really hard because pizza is my love❤️ a rep at work brought us in Starbucks and I asked for a sugar free drink so he brought me a skinny latte started drinking then logged and saw it had 17g of sugar but fat free so I only drank half.7 -

@micki48 I like this idea!1 -
PW: 159.2

I was so excited to see those numbers go down on the scale this morning! This week has been very hectic for us since school has started back for the kiddos and will start back for me next week. My sister purchased me a new infusion water bottle which has helped my water intake tremendously! I was actually thinking about taking a day off on exercising today to get a jump start on my case study for school but now I'm pumped! lol I'm going to get right to it so I can remain consistant with my routine and be able to check off my habit tracker. Consistency leads to habits, Action leads to success. We can all do it!9 -

Hi Ann! I just want to be sure your starting weight is correct - I have 197.5. Is that right? Let me know asap. Thanks!0 -

Fantastic GREEN weigh-in! I love your energy, and pizza resistance. Need to start a movement - the Pizza Resistance Front PRF, demonstrating in workplaces around the globe! And good job on the so-called skinny latte
You are doing just fine with your weigh-in, and yes PW is previous weight. You do not need to go back to starting weight - unless you want to show how awesome you are, which is perfectly OK!1 -
So many people hitting the GREEN!

No pressure, the rest of you
If you didn't make it into the green this week, get busy! Use @micki48 suggested format for daily check in. Use the habit tracker and rack up those green check marks every day. Push away that extra snack or second helping or snitch from your kid's plate.
If nothing you are doing is working, try something new. I know a lot of people are limiting the hours of eating (intermittent fasting). Even in a mild form, this helps some people. Others are using one free day a week (this technique SAVED me when I was in my big loss phase) - eat on a strict plan for 6 days a week. One day a week you can eat anything you want. Save up those cravings, and don't worry on that day. Surprisingly, as the weeks go by, you don't go so crazy on that day anymore. But it sure is fun. Or PLAN your late night snack if you always end up having one anyhow. Pick carefully what to have, put it in your food diary in advance, make it fit into your calories for the day.
I guess the main thing is to really think about this. You are the one who controls what goes inside and becomes you. You ARE what you eat, right? If one thing doesn't work and make you feel better, try something else. You can do this!8 -
The scale keeps creeping up for me. It's hard to watch because I'm doing everything right again but I know it'll drop eventually. Probably water.
Found a new VR game that's easy on my wrist and fought over it with my husband last night. We are never going to grow up, and also it's my turn. ;P
It was expensive but virtual reality has literally changed my life and my activity level. And it wasn't even as expensive as like, a good treadmill or a Peloton or something. I hope one day VR equipment gets recognition for being more than just video games.4 -

I agree! Even though I don't use them, I have seen people hard at it - and they are working off some serious calories! I hope your scale starts to behave. Maybe less salt, more water? I recently have really been watching my salt and it seems to be making a difference. So get on that VR and tell the hubby he has to get his own
Hoping your wrist gets better. I have a fantastic series of exercises that take less than 5 minutes that I do every day for my wrists and elbows. Being a flutist, those joints take some serious abuse, and this series has completely gotten rid of those terrible pains when leaning on the palm. I can even do pushups
but I don't usually want to. If you want me to send you the exercises, let me know. 2 -

I'm guessing my water weight is mostly bread. Since we still have a lot of leftover turkey I've been eating 100% more sandwiches than usual. Tonight we're getting McDonald's for dinner because I'm craving fries and it's a gym day, so I'm thinking that scale will be stuck a few more days.
My wrist is fine. The pain was greater than the actual severity. Though I'm gonna lay off the pushups for a week or so.2 -
I'm actually a little more nerves then I usually am before a weigh in. I tried really hard all week to keep under calories and eat healthy. Fingers cross for a lower number tomorrow, I need to catch up since December wasn't the best in loss.

Would like to hit the delete button on this year so far. Haven't gotten anything done over the break/last 3 weeks, and eating way too much. My emotions are all over the place r/t daily arguments at home.5

Oh dear - those times are hard. I have only a couple of things to suggest - first of all, keep going. When you're going through bad times, get through them - they will end, even if that is hard to believe. Try to spend time with a good friend or close family member. And just for something immediate, read through the December week 5 "2020 challenge" responses.
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10777165/week-5-challenge-20-20-vision-in-2020#latest
There were some really beautiful things in there - and if you can put down just one dream or vision, and map out even the beginning of a plan, it might help you get back on track and feel stronger. I know times of too many arguments and all the emotional turmoil are really hard. Try to carve out a few minutes, a couple of times a day - for you. Before you eat. If it gets really bad, get some help.
Hang in there, cory - and stop by like this. We're your friends
