WEIGHT NO MORE Team Chat - June 2020

I meant to mention I was 157.6 last Sunday. Today 148.6. Down 9 pounds. But a lot of that gain happened over a 2 day span. Thankfully far away from that. Optimistic that I can start transitioning to 1 pound a week. My goal next week is 149 so I’m ahead of the game. Just need to maintain it.3

Another good day! I am on a roll! I am hoping to wrap things up around the house this week and maybe start going to the shore. I have to make a plan on how long I will be staying down. I haven't been there since Feb.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!
@zumba_luvah I am glad you are not letting that gain get to you. You have been doing great so just keep kicking butt!!
@Mrsbell8well Another awesome day!!
@lennoncpa Bebe looks so handsome after his grooming but he looked pretty cute before too! He must feel so much better now.
@kirsten11872 Amazing loss! I am glad that you are doing well and the scale certainly is reflecting that. I hope school finishes up quickly so you have one less thing on your plate. Great job this week!
@pacsnc6 I am so happy you are almost done with chemo. Enjoy your grandson's graduation.
xoxo
@Cafelelia You really are doing so well. I am glad that the protests have remained peaceful by you.
@tryingagain5 I am happy to hear things are more peaceful by you. I agree, one day at a time. You can do this.
@timibotkin Maintaining is good. Hope all is going well.
@lenka1 You are so talented! Beautiful cakes for beautiful girls. God bless little Alana Grace and Happy Birthday to your other little one. One day isn't going to derail you. Hope you had a good time after all of that hard work. I know you will be right back at it!
@annliz23 Great steps! Looks like things are going well.
@danisp Yes, just dust yourself off and get right back on track. You got this!!

@Zumba_Luvah - Could be a random fluctuation? Are you weighing yourself at the same time of day each time?
@Mrsbell8well - Awesome job exceeding your goal! The food sounds delicious. I'm making lemon chicken soup tonight.
@lennoncpa - Bebe is such a cutie patootie!
@lenka1 - Holy cow that flamingo cake looks AMAZING!
@bburrer30 - Awesome walking and hiking this week! Keep it up!
I noticed, now that we're starting to be able to get back together with family and friends, that we're starting to feel that pressure of social eating again. I saw several posts just now where we've talked about cookouts and birthdays and how much we ate or that we didn't track and we knew we went over our budget and how bad we feel about that.
For me, I'm learning that if I worry about food I can't just enjoy myself. And the point of being with family and friends is that aspect of communion - of sharing meals in a celebratory way. We need to give ourselves space to enjoy celebrations without guilt.
The trick, I think, is to determine what events should be treated as "free enjoyment" days and what events we can still reasonably control ourselves at. Like, going out to dinner with friends, I can make healthy choices still. But if we're having a family cookout for my niece's birthday, I might loosen the reigns a little and just enjoy myself and eat a good juicy hamburger.
We don't lose weight and get fit overnight, and one day of guilt free enjoyment here and there will not pack the fat back on overnight either. As long as you're not having too many of those days in a row and as long as you follow up a free day with lots of water and clean eating. Have at it and don't beat yourself up over having fun.
Heaven knows we need some fun and relaxation these days.5 -

I planned to say more earlier...but my phone or MFP decided to be weird...took 20 mins to put in what I did. Sigh.
So I did my 30 min of walking yesterday and did 80 mins of gardening. On target for calories. Didn't do my core. Will be doing it this morning.
Glad I did garden yesterday after nearly 3 hours of gardening on Friday, letting the soreness make me lazy means the third day is always worse. Still sore but feeling pretty good. Did some more gardening early and will do some this evening when it cools off. We're under a heat advisory...kinda early in the summer for heat advisory.
It sounds like everyone is doing great. Love all those pix! @lenka1 those cakes are gorgeous!

I'm back and trying to focus on me a little bit.
@sleepymom5 and @Cafelelia thank you for understanding my absence. I was truly overwhelmed.

WEEK 1
Monday
PW:159
CW:159
I'll post week 2 tomorrow on my regular Monday checkin. I had been weighing myself to remind me to try not to emotionally eat. So I've kept a steady weight but I so very much want to start loosing it.
My son has Mono. @sleepymom5 you were right. He truly had no contact with anyone other than my husband and I for 8 weeks prior to his symptoms. Which falls under the incubation period but oh well, happy to have a diagnosis and that it was not Covid 19 or Hepatitis. He went back for blood work on Friday and the liver enzymes are going in the right direction. It has been a long 20 days of illness but this weekend he finally feels better.
With the diagnosis last Wednesday, I was free to go to my parents. I am in the process of hiring privately caregivers and nurses through a Geriatric Consultant. My parents need people who are trained in Dementia. And as lovely as these caregivers are from the agency, they just can't handle this unique situation with two very different types of dementia living in their home. Even the doctors say this is one of their more challenging cases. My parents are both active and physically well. So they need purpose and not just baby sitting.
My doctor and my parents doctors keep asking me if I am taking care of myself. Clearly these last 2 weeks I was not. So I am going to really try to make sure I get back to exercising. It truly makes me happy to exercise and I really am tired of being stuck in this 158-162 weight. I can't control my parents, I can't control my adult son, I can control my weight and so I am really going to focus on me.
Here are my steps for Week 1, I really didn't start walking until yesterday but I did so well in 3 weeks last month, I am challenging myself to catch up to all of you.

@JillyBT - thanks for checking in and I was worried. I am glad that your son did not have COVID, although mono is no fun. You are such a great daughter. I hope that you can find your parents the right care, and also find the time to take care of yourself. It is so important!
@lenka1 - OMG, you kids are gorgeous and your baking too!!3 -

Wow!! I hoped for maybe 1lb or less, almost hit a 3lb loss! Lost 4lbs last week so I didn't expect almost 3lbs right after! 😁🥰 Now...If ONLY I could lose ALL of it from ONE place, my STOMACH! I keep losing it from my legs, arms, neck & face. I'll take the loss from my neck & face though! Looking much slimmer there again which I like! But my legs and arms have always been skinny & rather boney...Don't need to keep losing more in them, just causes them to get sore and more banged up! 😭

Weigh In Day: Sunday June 7
Previous Weight: 134.5
Today’s Weight: 134.6
started Whole30 on Friday, i struggled yesterday with sugar cravings so tried to curb that with a handful of raisins and some licorice tea. Wasn’t quite the same as a chocolate bar or a cookie, but I guess it did the job.
On Whole30 you’re not supposed to weigh yourself for 30 days, but I’m ignoring that part for my Sunday weigh-ins...5 -
Starting on a high 2 exercises completed booty and abs and a Hiit for beginners using Fiton.3

2nd day of transition. Kale salad: organic strawberries, raw sunflower seeds, avocado, (CSA kale massaged with avocado oil and fresh key lime juice.). S & P. Simple yummy and delicious.4 -

Weigh in day: Sunday
PW: 253.7 (115.1kg)
CW: 255.5 (115.9kg)
My weight has been bouncing all week, but I haven't helped it this weekend by eating around maintenance calories and consuming a bit of sugar while making a cake for my step-dad. Not a real gain so I'm not worried, but it still sucks when the scales go up.5 -
Pics of the "Steampunk Chicken" cake, this is made from buttercream and modeling chocolate. My twins (age 11) made most of the steampunk decorations.

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Outstanding cake. I love the chicken feathers and the steampunk decorations ~ they look so metallic and real. Good job, you and the twins!2
-
@lenka1 and @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Love LOVE LOVE the cakes! So much work and love have gone into them - fabulous!
Just a quick check in. Have been keeping within my calorie goal and trying to get my exercise in. Must admit finding it a bit difficult at the moment - the desire for sweet stuff and alcohol is really creeping in, but since my last blow out (last weekend), I really want to keep control. This struggle mirrors my mood/emotions - I think I am coming to the end of my lockdown "patience" and really really need more normality (not used to having partner and kids around ALL the time - just all too much for a hermit like me!). I am however enjoying getting my frustrations out with a good workout 🏋4 -
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx what an amazing cake! Certainly not one of my strengths
Was great to read your posts after my weekend wobble - today was a great day, ate well, no alcohol and even managed an hours walk after a long day at work
Steps:12902
Week 1 checkin
Weight: 107.8 kg which is up almost 1kg ahhh trying not to beat myself up too much about it but it was 3 days of excess.
No excuses but I am struggling with the isolation and no gym, also being inactive at home in winter means I just eat more.
So refocus and move on to week 24 -

Daily check in Sunday
Cleanse transition-going well
Yoga-yes
sleep-7 1/2
Had a great weekend. Very productive plus lots of rest time. At 5:30 last night I was ready for bed. Put on Pj's, brushed and flossed but had to force myself to stay up. That was way too early even for me. Mom came upstairs and the 3 of us played gin rummy. It was fun.
I am doing great today and making the best of my life situation.
I was thinking this morning of an article I read about “Aunt Helen” in a readers digest a long time ago. Aunt Helen’s fiancé was killed in the war and she never married. Her niece asked her how it is that she could always appear to be so happy.
Here was her daily recipe for Happiness. She did these 6 things every day.
1-do something you don’t want to do but you know needs to be done
2-do something nice for someone else
3-do something physical
4-do something mentally stimulating
5-do something spiritual
6-do something nice for yourself
Just thought I would pass this on.
Here is my checklist for the day
1-I organized my tea cabinet this morning and scrubbed our kitchen sinks
2-I am picking up my mom from Davita today so she doesn’t have to take the shuttle
3-I did a 15 minute walk this morning and a 25 minute yoga
4-I plan on reading a chapter of Omnivores dilemma at lunch today
5-I will start my meditation practice back up today by starting with 5 minutes this evening
6-I will have fun working on a Summer jigsaw puzzle tonight
Have a great week everyone!6 -
