    I really felt bummed this morning about my weight gain, although it was inevitable due to minimal exercise (again) this week. Then I started fussing at myself because I'm so sick and tired of starting over, especially when my starting point is where I started from at the last starting point. It's the same vicious cycle, where I'm on a serious roll, and then I let something derail me emotionally that totally interrupts my motivation, and I quit! I even concluded that @jugar would having something supportive but firm to say, which made me smile. Then I saw this quote on a site I was on that really spoke to me, and I thought I'd share it.
    “Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So What? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self confident and more and more successful.”
    - Mark Victor Hansen


    Here's to starting over....one more time!

    @evangsimmons170 I love that quote. Thanks for sharing.

    Here are my thoughts. You are not a quitter. Here you are. @jugar has given you great advice. I would follow by saying in your ear, YOU are not a quitter. Quitters walk away. You are here. You have lost focus, perhaps. Tripped up a bit. Not being mindful. But you are here persisting. I believe in you. We all believe in you. This is a journey and each step we takes determines where we head. So like @evelynladams527 said, each day you decide which way you’re headed. Here’s the great thing, we hope you’ll choose the way forward, but no matter what you chose on a particular day, you are likely to find one of us there too. You are not alone. We are all on this journey together. Make good choices one meal at a time. And remember grace over guilt.

    Final April weigh in
    PW 191.2
    CW 190.0

    I am pretty sure I gave myself a concussion yesterday being really stupid on a toddler sliding board. 😝 I fell back and hit my head pretty hard. Still have a headache today and slight nausea. @jugar I find it ironic that the Balanced Life off mat mission for May is “Brain Health.”

    Anyway, I will try and check in later, but I will be limiting my screen time as it seems to make my headache worse. Hugs 🤗
    Look at you! Hitting 190 and ready to slide down into the 180s!!! Even though it has been a slow month, you have hit one of those awesome zero moments.

    Look at you! Hitting your head sliding like a toddler! Ouch! You take care of that head of yours - we all love it too much!

    So keep hitting like #1, and NOT like #2. You'll feel better for sure.

    Happy Saturday!
    The morning was really nice here. We all headed outside and got some exercise. I did a 45 minute walk/jog with lots of hills and trails. A different kid joined me for different parts. My old doggie came along for a while but gave up and laid in the grass instead. I need to bring my one year old border collie mix but he got his collar off and chewed it up. I ordered a new but it is taking its sweet time getting here. I did a 30 minute barre workout after lunch. I had really weak hip muscles and barre is making a huge difference. I have a lot more range of motion and less pain too. Food has gone well today. We made pancakes which are not my favorite so portion control is easy. I had a small sausage patty. Lunch was a big salad. I made some Turkey meatballs ahead of time for dinner. Maybe zucchini noodles tonight. It's getting cloudy and it's supposed to rain. Relaxing and catching up on laundry for the rest of the day.
    @evangsimmons170 Love the quote and so true. You just gotta do the best with what you have in that moment. One meal at a time and one step at a time. Each day, meal and workout is a fresh opportunity. We don't have to be 100%. Just keep going!

    Well on the plus side I've been very physically active this week, working in the garden and flower beds preparing for planting, and taking the dog for lots of walks. Eating has been okay, I had a couple of really hungry days. May be hormone related? Either way I'm back in the practice of logging everything and trying to make better decisions, eat more veggies and less sugar. My mood is so much better too, so I'm really thrilled about that.

    Don't you just love that feeling when you buckle down and get going with the logging, the veggies, the exercise? Really sit and memorize that feeling so that when you have a slip or a down moment, you can sit down again and bring up that memory. A few deep breaths and re-living this good feeling is a great way to prevent a major slide. So glad you're here!

    Calling @Steph1498 ! You are the last April weigh-in due! I hope everything is OK - it has sure been a crazy month and I will feel better when I have heard from you. :heart:

    But if it is still that new scale that is giving you pause, just give me both weights from old and new. I'll use the old one for this one more weigh-in, and then the new one can be the starting weight for May, and you can go from there. No penalties!

    I’ve had quite a rough weekend. My husband and I usually have a few drinks on Friday night. Which is usually a good time but nothing too serious. Well I had 3 margaritas and I forgot how horrible that makes me feel. 🤢 it took me most of Saturday to recover. What a disaster. And honestly a good reminder for me to consider what I am doing to my body. Looks like I found my inspiration for May.

    Happy Sunday Team

    PW - 178.5
    CW - 179.3

    I am bitterly disappointed - even though I know why my weight has inched up:
    Not enough walking
    Not enough water

    I have stopped snacking after supper - although I could do with bringing our supper time forward by an hour or so. But there's still work to do. Although I think that last week was a good week, I really could have done with moving a lot more. Maybe I should walk up and down my staircase a couple of times each time my tracker reminds me to move more! (not joking!)

    @micki48 And as for my steps this past week:
    26/04 - 3680
    27/04 - 4962
    28/04 - 5242
    29/04 - 4531
    30/04 - 3769
    01/05 - 4722
    02/05 - 2119

    Pitiful!

    Next week will be better - I promise!
