    @jugar Thanks for the kind words! Losing 5 inches is WAY better than sleep losing 5 lbs! It's pretty funny ♥️😂😂

    Steps for 2/19 = 9,140

    So last night I was doing my 45 minute video, and the husband walked by and decided to tell me that that looked like alot of work, and blah blah blah... So I was like "it is, I am seriously thinking about only doing 30 minutes cause doing this 2 days in a row is hard..." granted it didn't sound that smooth, there was lots of loud breathing between words... anyway... I really wanted to stop at 30 minutes, BUT I DIDN'T, I finished, and it felt good...

    Then the brat decided to complain about how many clothes were in the hamper when I asked him to take it downstairs since it was full... Had the nerve to say I changed my clothes too much.. SO when I was done, I took my stinky sweaty self and sat right next to him on the couch... and told him I wouldn't shower tonight in order to use less clothes... LOL... he agreed it was okay to have one extra load a week if it helped my health... :) Men, I swear gotta love em...

    I should have known better. The massage was a terrible idea.

    I'm covered in hives. Covered.

    Even their hypoallergenic stuff was no good. :(

    Stupid sensitive skin.

    Oh no! I often have this problem. Even the sun breaks me out in a rash, especially on my legs. Meh. Well - you can have a nice Benadryl nap, right? Hope it clears up quick!

    Hoo boy. I had one of those out of control eating days today. Not sure why, but I ended up going with it and letting it happen to see if I could figure out what was behind it. I think it was a kind of "release from people" day. I spent a week at my daughter's place, with lots of people every day, then came back and had company for a few days. Getting back to just being on my own all day today brought on that weird release of .I can do anything I want", or whatever that is. If no one sees me it doesn't happen? Planning is for "normal" days? Something strange like that. It happens from time to time, but luckily does not usually last long. I also got some good exercise on the snowshoes, and it was kind of fun eating all kinds of stuff. I just guessed some weird number of calories in my log. And when I think back, it was still not as much as I used to eat on those kind of days, so I'm not going to let it bother me too much, as long as the reins are back firmly in my hands tomorrow!

    OK - speaking of tomorrow - it is our biggest weigh-in day of the week. Are you ready?

    I know what I need to do, I just need to it!

    Yep - but don't forget that last week was a bit odd because you had been sick. You are still lower than 2 weeks ago :smiley:

    Tired! Probably overdoing it a bit on exercise. Also working on maintaining a 500 cal deficit last few days. That could be it!! :wink:

    I'm so hungry! I'm tired and healing and I guess my body's response to that is MOAR FOOD because I'm just dying to inhale the biggest sandwich I can find.

    One of those scenarios where food is "what my body wants" but what is actually needed is sleep and antihistamines, so listening to myself would completely fail to make anything better.

    Happy more of Friday!

    I sure hope you keep the flu away @cory17 - take tons of vitamin C and get plenty of rest. Then let the good old human immune system do its awesome work!

    @Terytha - step away from the giant sandwich! You are feeling sleepy... Your eyes are getting heavy... Follow the swinging pocket watch... tick... tock... tick... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Well done @Shexio! You are right to go after plenty of fibre. It makes everything better!

    @matthewsfive - I am seriously impressed that this is the first month you have not lost some weight in 12 months! Or 13 if you lost in January 2019. Take a little plateau - enjoy sitting still for a minute - and you'll certainly get losing again. It sounds like a good moment for the free trial version of maintenance, right? Don't lose for a bit, and then your mojo will be back!

    WTG @robertefortier536 :smiley:

    Ugh work has us do a weigh in and if we are in our healthy BMI weight we get an extra $600. I have know about this since January 1st and have been working really hard to get to my weight. My weigh in was yesterday and I was still overweight according to my BMI. I’ve only lost 5 lbs in these last two months and they were all mostly lost in the first 2 weeks. Now I do have another chance to get the $ but I have to do a program like Weight Watchers or Noom. I’m a little frustrated.

    @bunnybuns1111 dang on the missed BMI. Would a program like the Beachbody 21 Day fix also be an option? I enjoyed the portion control of that program when I did it a couple years ago.

    Maybe you could suggest our program? You have to weigh in weekly just like WW, you can commit to the exercise program of your choice and report daily, keep up your food/exercise diary, etc. We'd love to be your team for this, and then we can cheer you on and toss the tiaras around when you get your bonus! At least this one is free - but if you have to do another program, I hope you'll stick with us to share your progress.

    Let the frustration push you forward - one of my favourite reminders comes from a fantastic novel by Peter Behrens (The Law of Dreams). "Anger gave you strength. Disquiet kept you going."

    Yesterday was the first day since early in the month that I have checked off ALL 5 of the actions I am tracking in the habit tracker. Sheesh! I have been quite the slacker. It is amazing to see the whole month in one place and to note where the holes tend to grow. I used to hate this kind of tracker because it was somehow shameful to have something not checked off. But it is just information. Sometimes it is because the habit I chose is not important enough, or is something I am resisting for a reason it is good to think about. Sometimes, it is just life getting in the way. Sometimes it is me being a slacker. Whatever the reason, it is data - anyone who still wants to use the habit tracker is welcome! It is in the Announcements section. If you have questions, just post 'em here.
