I’m home! It took a taxi ride, a cruise ship ride (they take one-way passengers for the route), train, bus, train again, and another taxi ride to get home, but I’m here. Sailing was great, but I’m happy to be home where the floor doesn’t sway, fruits and veggies are in steady supply and I can go to the grocery store any day I want, and my bed is big and soft enough for me.
I took full advantage of the ship’s tax free store and bought a new perfume. I’m going to try and see if I can condition my mind to link it with fitness and exercise so it can become a tool in the future. Years ago I bought a new perfume just before starting to study for university entrance exams (11 weeks between publishing exam literature and the exam date - the most intense study period of my life, writing an 80-page master’s thesis doesn’t even begin to compare). I wore the perfume every day in that time period, and eventually my brain got conditioned to think studying law smells like that. During my studies, every time I needed to crank some extra efficient study hours before exams, I wore that perfume. A couple of weeks ago I dug it out and sniffed it 7 years after the entrance exam, immediately felt like reading some legal literature. So, I’m going to limit wearing the new perfume to days I’m doing fitness activities, and hope I can again condition myself enough that in the future I can trigger gym motivation just by putting that perfume on.6 -

@hipari - that is amazing and you are brilliant to figure that all out. Wow!
@Xiaolongbao - welcome to the group.

@biketheworld thanks! It was kind of an accident to figure that one out, I just happened to buy the perfume maybe a week before exam literature was published... The human brain is pretty amazing in remembering different scents and associating them with things.0

TEAM PEP TALKLast week was not stellar... As a group we had a loss of 5.8 lbs. That is an average loss of 0.29 lbs per person
I had a zero loss last week, too -- so this little talk is addressed to me as much as anyone else!!! After I posted weight on Saturday AM I was txting with @boehle about how we need to get our acts together.
I committed to her a TWO POUND WEEK. There it is - tossed out into the universe for all to see and hear! I am committing to being 194.4 by Saturday weigh in. She committed to a THREE POUND WEEK and weighing in at 172.
ANYONE ELSE WANT TO GET IN ON THE COMMITMENT?
If your weight day is early in the week -- make the commitment to the next weigh day.
I want to see our team at the top of the leader board!!!! YOU????
@hipari that makes total sense to me! Classical conditioning - like Pavlov's Dog! I am thinking how I can incorporate something similar.... Hmmm
@Xiaolongbao -Welcome to the team!!!6 -
YET ANOTHER CHALLENGE
The photo below is from my Saturday morning walk. This is my non MFP BF. Saturday morning I was 196.4 and she was 195.8.... My birthday is 64 days away -- 9 weeks. She and I are giving me a 16 lb weight loss for my birthday. We are committing to being 180 by September, 29!!! If we only lose 14-15 we are still WAY closer to goal than we are now. If we lose more - EVEN BETTER!!
Anyone else want in on this action, too?
This is a lofty goal and not for the faint of heart! But I believe we can all do it!!!!* CORRECTION -- the photo was from Thursday, not Saturday....
My days are totally running together at the moment. I'll tell y'all more about that later

Friday (sorry this one is late)
PW:133.6
CW: 135.6
So sorry for going the wrong direction. I have been fighting what I think are allergies, and I have not been very focused. Good news is that I weighed myself this morning and I am at 131.4!! I am hoping the high weight you see above was a fluke and I am still moving the correct direction.

@Beka3695 I’m so in (btw, can you roll my previous weigh in for this week, please). I need to regroup... my scale weight today was exactly the same as last Saturday before the sailing trip, so at least it wasn’t a big gain. It’s about 0,5lbs above my last ”official” weigh-in day trendweight, so my goal this week is to get back under it. Thus, my goal for this week is to get my trendweight back under 213lbs.
I’m also throwing down a birthday challenge for myself - my birthday is in exactly 16 weeks, November 16. On that day, I will not turn 29 and still be obese. Instead, I will be overweight, which translates to 197,6lbs in my case. That means 15,8lbs to lose in 16 weeks - totally doable as far as numbers are concerned, but I’m guessing life will throw in an extra challenge or two along the way.
I’m mentally starting the new ”semester” next week as August begins, I return to work from vacation and the aerial acrobatics course is set to finally start. So, I’m in deep planning / goal setting mode, and setting up for a successful autumn this week. I even cleaned a good chunk of my closet today, took out the sewing kit and fixed three garments!
Goals for this week:
- get under 213lbs again
- Hit my calorie burn goal every day
- Log all my food and stay in deficit every day
- Go to the gym twice
- Get my resting heart rate back down to low 60s or preferably below
Goals for August:
- Get below 208,9 lbs - Happy Scale informs me this is where I’m 25% of the way into my goal weight
- Start aerial acrobatics course and floor acrobatics course
- Schedule a meeting with my personal trainer to return from lockdown
- Find a rhythm to include both acrobatics courses, gym time, cardio and rest days
- Stick to food logging and sensible eating habits
I’m spending the day with a friend tomorrow - we’re going to tour a science exhibition so there’s hopefully a good amount of steps coming in. She’s also dog-sitting her boyfriend’s family dog, so I volunteered to join them for a long walk. Getting all the extra steps I can!0
