Vent Minute: These last couple of days have been rough as I haven't been able to sleep. It has been 27 days since I have applied for unemployment, and it has not been approved (yet). I had been managing well with exercise and keeping busy as distractions, but family and friends have stressing me about money til it has troubled me in my sleep.
Result: been eating/craving copious amounts of junk cause I'm stressed, anxious and sleep deprived. But I will work on managing better this week, as ruminating is a bigger problem than the actual problems3 -

😢 not sure what's going on, I've exercised all week and stuck within my calories and ate well. Hopefully next week will he much better2 -
As I was still coughing after a few weeks and being a health worker, I was tested on Saturday for Covid 19. Got my result this morning and it was negative thankfully. I had a lot of people praying for me. I also feel quite a bit better, so I hope to get myself back to regular exercise again.1

I am so sorry. Unemployment in the US is a mess; the system shouldn't be 50 little systems. It should be one system (federal) that has the infrastructure to perform. I am sure this is very stressful; it will come but the interim is hard. Control what you can and stay strong!1 -

I am shocked it took that long to test you! Yikes! We need more tests! I am so glad you were negative!1 -

April 20
Exercised: Yes (20 mins bodyweight exercise)
Tracked: Yes
Budget: Yes
Morning meetings, then afternoon appointment to give blood, so no walk. Did bodyweight exercises this morning as I knew getting out would be difficult and not recommended after blood donation.
Donation did not go as planned. When reviewing my recent history, I was told I would not be able to donate blood. TIA is a permanent exclusion category.0 -

@swauters. Thank you for asking. You are the first to ask.
TIA is transient ischaemic attack. Also known as stroke or mini-stroke.
The branch artery occlusion in my right eye (putting a permanent shadow in my peripheral vision) is classed as a mini-stroke. This painless, almost missable event, has profound flow on effects and restrictions.0 -

April Week 4
PW: 132.3 pounds
CW: 134.1 pounds
Gained 1.8 pounds.
Although I always hate to have a gain, I am surprisingly okay with this gain as my starting weight for the start of this month's challenge was 135.1 pounds on Wednesday March 25th so I am down 1 pound since then so a loss over the course of the 4 weeks and we still have 1 week to go in this month's challenge.
I have alternated between losses and gains each week (lost 1.2, gained 1.6, lost 3.2, gained 1.8) so I am due for a loss next week!
Plus, after losing 3.2 pounds last week which was unexpected and not the plan and partly from unintentionally not eating enough the 2 days before the weigh in I am not surprised at all and totally fine with gaining some of that back this week.
Still 4.1 pounds away from my goal weight so still feel good about where I am at and what I have accomplished. Down 36 pounds from my highest weight and no plans to return there again!

Threw away all the junk food I’d bought due this quarantine and being an emotional eater. It’s been rough, a lot going in but I’m gonna try my best to get back in the swing of things. Pray all is well with everyone
I apologize for not being on top of things this month. Will do better!2 -

Glad to be eating healthy again! I thought it'd be harder to get back on track after two unhealthy weekends but it wasn't and I'm happy to see progress. I wish continued success to everyone in the group. These times are definitely not making things easier but we can do it!1 -
