How was everyone's (holiday) weekend?
Yesterday I bought a new gaming laptop after spending most of the day researching different options. You know what I did until midnight with my new gaming laptop, right?
Today I went for a long walk with my husband, did meal plans and grocery shopping for the beginning of the week, and played some more games...2 -
@hipari your weekend actually sounds pretty productive. I went for a short walk, did a little sewing, watered my flowers, that about sums it up. Too hot and muggy for a bike ride.1

Hi team!
Well, I’m back in Florida again. It was nice to be home for the weekend, but I definitely over indulged. I’m dreading to see what the damage looks like tomorrow....
But.... Not going to sweat it as life and weight loss does not follow a straight line.
Goals for the week:
- Get back on my MIF routine.
- Have a veggie heavy week. My BF sent me off with a big bag of squash and zucchini.
- drink more water
- Walk at least 3 nights.
What goals do you have set for the coming week?2 -

Week 2, Monday
PW: 140.4 lbs
CW: 141.8 lbs
LTD: 122 lbs
In the maintenance zone
One of my non-scale goals has been to improve my sleep, and this past week have gotten to the point where my body is often waking itself up just before my alarm (yay!). I still have to get better about going to bed on time, and actually *get out of bed* once I have woken up (winter here in Australia: a warm cosy bed is so tempting!) - but these are improvements!
Was a little naughty on the weekend, letting my worse half influence my eating. We ate out for breakfast both mornings (usually I don't eat breakfast - I intermittent fast), and then we snacked on and off through the day (I don't usually snack) but we did do a lot of walking & hiking which was nice, and the food was good healthy low-carb wholefoods... so long as you don't count the dark chocolate... I ate almost 250g (05.lbs) of chocolate over the two days! So long as I don't make a habit of it!1 -
MONDAY CHECK IN:
Goals for the week:
- Get back on my MIF routine. I am currently having my coffee, protein latte is prepped.
- Have a veggie heavy week. My BF sent me off with a big bag of squash and zucchini. Pre logged the day and have veggies in both meals
- drink more water I have my 30 oz Yeti full and on my desk!
- Walk at least 3 nights
I am quite happy to only be up one lb from Saturday. I did over indulge and I expected to be up more. I am RIGHT BACK ON PLAN today! I feel good about living my life and not stressing about food AND getting back to program.
On my drive back to Florida last night, I listened to podcasts from Syatt Fitness. They were SO INSPIRING! I have followed them on Instagram for a while but just started listening to the podcasts. The basis of his approach is 'YOU CAN'T MESS THIS UP UNLESS YOU QUIT!" If you are looking for something to listen to - check this out. WARNING - language. He drops the F bomb regularly.
I can't wait to hear about your week to come!!!

Happy Monday!!
Goals for the week:
Don't die in this heat wave - supposed to be 90s all week even by the lake; we live 1/2 mile away and when it's cooler by the lake, there can be 10 degree difference, but not this week🔥🔥
Stay w/in calorie count and continue w/IF
Keep hydrated.
Continue getting movement in via other ways since it will be too hot to walk outside3 -
Sorry... late pot and holiday. this was a Thurs weight. I just forgot to post.
PW. 132.0
CW. 132.2
And I'm not holding out for a successful week this week.😔1 -
New week, new beginning! Im back to work after our move, and settling in. The theme of this weeks goals: don't backslide into old habits.
1 - exercise 4 days (1 strength training), keep active the other 3 days.
2 - cook meals at home! I ate enough takeout last week for a month!
3 - stop working at lunchtime1 -
I'm with @LaurieWrobo and trying to avoid the heat.... 36/37 of the other degrees here all week. Walking to work soon (7.30am) as we are blessed with much cooler nights and early mornings.
I'm not logging.... need to ear up all the random batch foods I made and didnt log what was with them. I am being mindful however and working on my sleep and evening snacking..

New goals for the (rest of the) week:
- get back to my bedtime schedule
- go to the gym twice this week
- try going for a jog again
- log foods every day
I bought the gaming laptop last weekend, and it's messing up my sleep schedule. Mostly because I play games on full screen and literally don't see the clock, so I might have to try setting up an alarm to remind me about bedtime.2 -
I had a really sucky day yesterday. I had a moment of clarity this morning and realized that my emotions have a much stronger bearing on my food choices than I would like to think they do. THIS IS SOMETHING I MUST WORK ON!!! I must redefine my relationship with food and not slip back to "bad day must eat cake!"
Goal for the day - Don't eat cake no matter how sucky the day becomes!!!!!
Have you had a turning point in your relationship with food? If so, what was it and how have you succeeded?2 -
My daughter is moving in to her own home so I am very busy helping to get the house ready for her to move in. They grow up so fast.

1st Meal

Something radical happened today. I was getting dressed in the morning and realized I was not hungry, just thirsty. I don’t recall ever not being hungry or eating first thing in the morning, apart from being sick or extremely hungover. I always eat my breakfast right after getting dressed, not even thinking about there being any other option. Well, today I realized I wasn’t hungry and was working from home, and decided to just get my glass of orange juice, start working and get breakfast when I felt like it. I didn’t get hungry until 11am, and those morning hours were the most productive hours of my day. Finland is weird and 11am is usually lunchtime at the office, so this is a very new meal schedule for me.
Since I didn’t have breakfast until 11am, I had lunch at 3pm and dinner regularly around 7-8pm, I magically skipped all random and pre-planned daytime snacks. I had an ”extra” evening snack of yummy yogurt and blueberries, and my day totaled 400-500 calories less than usual.
I’m curious to see if I get some random hunger pangs or cravings tomorrow to make up for this. If not, I might have to consider switching things up more.
On fitness side: husband and I had a great plan of going to the gym right after his shift ended (he usually doesn’t have strict hours, but their customer support person is on vacation so he’s on support duty for two weeks. It includes support phone work, and having that at home is..... not great). We skipped gym but went for an hour-long walk and did some shopping. I’m not happy I skipped gym since I’m trying to get back on routine, but at least we went on a walk and got some quality time together.4 -

Wednesday check in... Today I will be revamping the goals I posted earlier....
Goals for the week:
- Get back on my MIF routine. Good so far! This feels natural again!
- Have a veggie heavy week. My BF sent me off with a big bag of squash and zucchini. Check!!! Veggies being consumed!!!!
- drink more water This is a difficult one for me, but I have been successful the last 2 days!
- Walk at least 3 nights. This feels nearly impossible this week. My daughter is on duty. This means I have the baby more and it is just too hot to have him in a stroller. Sweat beads on a 4 month old is not a good thing.
THE ALTERNATIVE:
Since I cannot get my evening walks in - I am taking many small breaks during the day and walking. If he is sleeping, I will lock up the house and walk to the end of the street -- don't freak out - it is just 300 steps TOTAL. I'm gone about 2 minutes tops. I was able to get 7k steps in like this yesterday. Better than nothing, right??
Personal victory -- I did not eat cake yesterday. Remember my BF sent me with a huge box of mini bundts from her bakery... Sucky Monday I ate a Toasted Coconut Baby Bundt. Last night, I had a protein bar instead
REMEMBER -- Small corrections are used to navigate the largest of ships.3 -

Anything "low" fat, "less" sugars are usually your biggest culprits. Reading labels has really opened my eyes to how much crap they put in our foods for taste and to preserve things 😱 Food for Thought...
HAPPY HUMP DAAY!!
