Ugh! So close! I have been going up and down all week but never dip under. Hopefully this week...Good day yesterday, I have been doing well with my plan but back to my usual struggle over eating. I remember before the quarantine, I was starting to cut back on my meals. I am going to go back to eating 1/2, see how I feel and then continue. Another problem I have, is to remember to do that. I am going to focus on eating and the hunger scale this week. I would love to be back in onderland next week.
Jim wants to go to the shore on Sunday for a few days. Of course it is going to rain on Monday but it will still be nice to go away. I am hoping to start getting down there a few days a week soon. I don't want to leave Jim too long. I am hoping maybe I can be there longer towards the end of the summer and early fall.
It is beautiful in Philly. Temps are to be in the mid 70s and no humidity! I need to get out there and enjoy it! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
@Ademann1 I can see why you would be stressed! Taking care of 5 little ones is stressful enough without a party on top of it Lol! I am sure everything will be lovely. Hope you can enjoy it. Since you are hosting, you can have a little control over what is served. Have a plan for what you are going to eat/drink and stick to it. You can have fun and still honor your plan.
@lenka1 The scale is still moving in the right direction even with your party. Great job getting back into your routine!
@GingerPwr You make the best breakfasts! I think everything you post sound delicious but for some reason the breakfasts really get me lol!
@Mrsbell8well Sounds like you are doing wonderful! Hope you have a great weekend!
@nstephenson01 No worries about the weigh in, MFP is so glitchy. Nice loss! Yes! 160s are at your doorstep! I am also glad you are feeling better. It is true how now a days our mind goes to the worst when we are sick. It doesn't help that Covid seems to have every symptom imaginable.
@CassieGetsFit2013 I think the deer netting sounds like a good idea. Even though Idk what that is
I thought it was funny I read about the chicken wire after I read your post. Good luck!
@Cafelelia Those little losses add up! Plus the scale has been pretty consistently going down for you. You are doing fantastic!
@1theresamcvean I am so happy you are going to be able to get together with family! I know you have been waiting for so long! xo. That picture is beautiful! It does look like a painting!
@lennoncpa Maintaining isn't bad. You have been losing pretty consistently during the past few (or more) weeks. You are doing great and you must be getting close to your goal.
@KUMEcyclingteam Great job! You will be in the 2teens before you know it!!
@bburrer30 Just think, keep doing what you are doing and when the TOM is gone, you will have a nice drop. You got this!
@hope002 You just keep moving down on that scale! Great job! Hope all is well.
@brown6267 Looks like you are doing well maintaining. Hope all is well!
@Zumba_Luvah Whoo hoo! Good bye 170s! Great job!3 -

Hi all,
@pacsnc6 - so glad the chemo is all done with, fingers crossed it's done what it needed and you can move to the next step! Congrats to your grandson, how nice that they still managed to arrange some sort of ceremony for them.
@Mrsbell8well - Wow, that's some serious cooking going on - all sounds yummy. I love your teddies! I have quite a few
@lennoncpa - go you with the restaurant food - eating out always used to be one of my downfalls so need to be careful when it comes back.
@Cafelelia - how lovely you got to see your mum, I am seriously missing my folks. Hopefully won't be too long before can take a trip to visit.
@bburrer30 - TOM is always frustrating but might mean you get a big drop next week. Hang in there x
@Zumba_Luvah - woot, congrats on hitting the 160s, you're inspiring me!
@sleepymom5 - sooooo close to one hundreds, will def make it next week
I'm trying to focus on my hunger scale this week as week, have noticed it sliding a bit and need to concentrate more on how my body is feeling rather than what my head is craving
Congrats to all the losers this week - great job
Am feeling a little unmotivated this week. Had a few slip-ups earlier in the week and am trying to get back on track. Work has also been stressing me out. They want me to go back into the office next week, which I am not completely comfortable with. The government guidelines are still saying that you should work from home if you can (which obviously I can as have been doing for the past 3 months!) so I feel it's too early. I sent them a message saying I was concerned, especially about having to use public transport and could they work with me to sort something on that side - eg if someone in the office could pick me up or they would share taxi costs with me. They haven't bothered replying (even though they're answering other emails) so currently have no idea what is happening. My friend/flatmate is high risk so I don't want to be taking chances. I feel that technically they can't legally make me go against government guidelines, but I also don't want to end up in a stand-off with them.5 -
@sleepymom In addition to mindful eating and splitting portions in two, which I am so happy to have learned here, one thing I've been doing quite a while is making any recipe with extra vegetables to increase the volume, less of the carb ingredient, and sometimes if it's beef, less of that too (this could be for stews, soups, stir-fries, pastas, anything that has all the food groups). Then, because the extra veggies increases the overall volume, I take a recipe that was, for example, 6 servings and make it 8. I record it in the MFP Recipes here and over time I've gotten quite used to these new 'serving sizes.'3

@Zumba_Luvah Congratulations on getting into the 160s. That must feel fantastic.

@podperson1 Shelli, I'm sorry to hear about the stress of possibly having to return to work, especially envisioning needing to use transit. I think it's also exacerbated by not getting an email back when you know they are returning other emails. I hope this means they are trying to help you connect with someone to share a ride with. I won't be going on transit for a very, very long time. The idea of it is just frightening. Be firm. Hugs.1

I drove to Chicago for the weekend and we walked to breakfast to celebrate Sunny’s 1 year birthday. The waitress brought him an enormous bowl of whipped cream! So crazy!7 -

Yesterday was a good one. It was really nice seeing my mom. She did so well during lockdown, but she is feeling so much better mentally now that we can be with her and give her hugs. I am not exactly sure how I am going to “unspoil” my younger son after this visit. He is already talking about staying longer with my mom so he can get more pampering.
@zumba_luvah - Congratulations on your new weight decade!! I think that you are close to goal?2 -
@Freeglerock Love the pictures of your garden!
@lenka1 and @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Impressive cakes! You ladies are quite talented!
@melaniedscott I have never been so entertained reading about weeds!! Thank you... I enjoy your style of writing!! That is quite a lot to manage tho. Sodium is a weakness for me as well. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but I can get down with salt.
@1theresamcvean My garden is in survival mode. June's weather is fickle here in Montana... we have some very hot days and then some very cold ones. Parts of MT received several inches of snow just the other day. If my garden survives June, it will flourish July/August/September. Your garden patch is super cute and your terrace are lovely!! I want to join you there with a glass of wine. Big congrats on your IG and FB features... terrific accomplishment!!
@cafelelia I used to get migraines in my 20's and 30's also but fortunately don't get them very often anymore. Glad you are feeling better and how wonderful you were able to see your Mom finally! I love that your son spent the week with her. I was fortunate to spend a lot of time with my grandparents when I was growing up. Not sure that's necessarily often the case with a lot of kids these days.
@pacsnc6 best wishes for good results from your CT scan and congrats on completing your chemo sessions thus far. Hoping that's the last of them for you.
@tryingagain5 I find it sooo easy to gain weight during the summer because we tend to socialize more with food. You stay away from those 200's, you hear me Linda!!
I know you can get back on track and hope you're able to get back to the gym.
@sleepymom5 Happy Belated Anniversary!! Congrats to 30 years!! Hope Daisy is on the mend by now. You'l be seeing those 190's next week for sure!!
@ljdanny So sorry about that news from your doctor. Not fun! We also have the kind of mattress that arrives rolled up. Actually we have two. We bought the first one for our RV as an experiment and loved it so much we bought a second one for the house. Don't recall the brand but its a knock off tempur pedic style. I think you'll be very happy with your new mattress. It does take a couple of days to fully expand so be patient.
@lennoncpa oh yay a Sunny pic!! That dog has the life!!3 -
Daily check in for Friday
Food: 14:10 IF. We got Thai takeout last night for dinner. It was delicious and I ate a bit beyond full. Not as bad as I could have or have done in the past but wasn't as disciplined as @lennoncpa was with your restaurant meal. I'll keep working on it.
Water: Good
Exercise: 15,888 steps; 4 mile hike with the fur babies
Saw 169 on the scale yesterday morning... ooh happy dance but that didn't keep me from overeating last night. Doh!! I still need to get my plan together or I'll be back in the 170's in no time.
Almost caught up with posts. Sorry I haven't commented to everyone individually but keep on keepin' on. The wind is crazy right now and I'm afraid we might lose power so better hop off here. Wishing everyone a good, successful weekend.3 -

Finally down a little! It’s been a long week. I had my CT scan on Tuesday to check my lung nodules, and apparently they are stable and the mass, which they say is scar tissue from my lumpectomy, is smaller. So that means...I get to have my port taken out! Yay!
My steps this week are down some but my calories burned are higher, I’ve been using the ladders a lot at work and I hold on to the rails with my left hand so I think I’m missing a lot of steps that I’m really getting.
I was able to work in my garden some this morning. I started at 7 am and came in around 3 because it started raining. I have half a row of beets left to weed but it’s looking really good! I may be able to pick some peas next weekend!
I hope everyone’s doing well and that you all have a great weekend!6 -
My garden from this morning!1

Happy 1st birthday to Sunny!0 -
@nstephenson01
Thanks, Nancy
I really hope the gym can open sooner rather than later. Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula have been open since Memorial Day, gyms and all.
I really don't want ro see the 200's again. Definitely too close to it. Im pretty sure my issue is not having much to do since every evening activitiy I was doing isn't happening right now. So not only am I home more, my sleep schedule is all screwed up. My work schedule is also all over the place. This week I worked 28 hours, last week was 16. Next week, hard to tell.
I know I shouldn't eat out of boredom but am sure that's what I've been doing. I have made a plan for next week that should help some.3 -
