And much much probably they will give me a CPAP to sleep.
The last time I used a CPAP was in June 2010. Back then I lost plenty of kilos and my quality of sleeping improved a lot.
The doctor told me yesterday that with the way I'm sleeping right now is impossible to lose weight.
And I hear his words but in the back of my mind I'm still thinking: I'm eating healthy, doing my sport! Why am I still in this weight?
It's stupid how my brain works sometimes.
I really hope they do everything quite soon and I start to see the real results of my effort.
I hope you get your sleep study done soon. Just remember once you get your sleep straightened out you are already setting the foundation of healthy eating and exercise.1 -

I didn’t really want to see my weight go into the 200’s but I know what caused the gain. I am going to move forward and really watch my sodium this weekend. I normally have Tim Hortons chili on Friday’s but I am skipping it this week and see if there is a difference in my water retention.
My hubby is off today so we are going to do our grocery shopping today instead of tomorrow. We are going later than we usually do so I hope there’s not a line up. I am going to the used bookstore this afternoon. I have lots of books to trade in that I couldn’t during lockdown. I love going to the bookstore.
Happy FriYAY!
Today’s goals

Good morning Megan! I hope your days was a success!Hi everyone, sorry I'm overdue. As you can see by my weigh-in this past week hasn't been one of my best. I've been struggling with consistency in what I'm eating and my exercise. I'm not really sure about the reason for my complete tanking mentally and physically, but I'm trying to get myself out of this funk.

•Food:
Woke up earlier this morning but was a bit shaking because of the low calorie intake yesterday I guess. So I ate before my water this morning. #veryfruity
2 nectarines, 2 peaches, a banana & 2 small (9 g each) peanut butter cup treats
4 rice + seed crackers with homemade guacamole
2 small store bought wraps with homemade veg filling (baby potatoes, zucchini, kidney-beans, sweet corn, tomatoes)
1 peach
•Water: 2 Liter water
•Exercise: 5,75 km / 3.5 mile walk duration 0:58:02 #5kaday (not uphill today)
•Highlights: Went for my walk even though the weather still has been horrible. 🌧💪🏻💦
Was pretty upset finding that my expensive hydrangeas in the garden have lots of little black and red creepy crawly things crawling around on them. 😭 have had them for 3 years now and I re-potted them last year for a lot a money (new huge, huge pots and special blue hydrangeas soil). I hope I can save them.
That upset me so much I was going back and forth really wanting more peanut butter cup treats and chocolate but I reminded myself that it’s weigh-day tomorrow and resisted. 🙈
•Notes: Planning on starting work at 6:30 am tomorrow. 💪🏻 Wakey wakey hopefully I can get my *kitten* out of bed. 😅🙈
Starting weight: 192.9 lb / 87,5 kg 28.06.2020
Have a nice evening everybody. Nighty night for me over here in Germany soon. x
Another delicious day! I hope you find something to help with your plants. Lots of rose bushes here have the same bugs. My neighbor is treating here with a homemade spray using garlic. Have a look online and see what you can use.dymphnadaniels wrote: »username: dymphnadaniels

End of June to this month is literally heating up for me stopping outdoor workouts as heat indexes climb, even at six am it's too warm and muggy! I also need to adjust my sleeping pattern to match the new pattern that I will need to have in about 45 days!

I was thinking, is the jump rope motivation still an option?
How about a workout/ calisthenics challenge? Nothing too difficult mainly to encourage all of us to move at our own pace. It could help to see how everybody else is doing along side "you".
Just a thought.
Got your steps in! Good idea. Linda and I are currently discussion a workout challenge. Thanks for your suggestion!Marigorringo wrote: »Tuesday 30 11.537 steps

Hello everyone --
The F2F Moderators have an announcement that is both sad and happy. We would like to thank Lisa @cafelelia for her wonderful service as a Moderator since December. Lisa has decided to step down due to family and professional life, the changes due to COVID-19, and wanting to concentrate her energies on her own wonderful team, WeightNoMore. We will miss her wise words, her awareness of the intricacies of the human interactions in a community such as F2F, and her wonderful sense of humour. It was fantastic working together, particularly through the big changes from December to January, and I'm sure we'll be asking her advice from time to time even if she is no longer taking on the weekly tasks she has so aptly performed.
Thank you Lisa! We will miss you as Moderator, but your team will be extra happy to have you all to themselves!
Best wishes from @jugar @Beka3695 and @TeresaW1020 - I am sure everyone on F2F wishes you well Lisa!!!!

I forgot to talk about this....as many of you know I’ve been struggling with sleep due to waking up early for my workout sessions. I have to get it done super early as I must be home with the kids before 7 as I have to get them ready for school. It’s extremely difficult to get myself to the gym any other time. So I experimented with napping and this only made it worse. I was sleeping even less at night as I was then going to bed super late because I couldn’t sleep due to my nap. It’s hard getting myself to bed early as my kids don’t go to bed early no matter how hard I try, so I am forced to stay up with them until well passed 9pm. Well I decided to try something new last night to see how it went. After dinner we all sat on the sofa for a movie and I started my night there. They safely watched their movie while I got my first hour and a half of sleep. I then got everyone in bed and went to my own bed and slept again. Result over 9 hours of sleep last night. I did have a break in my sleep cycle early on but this worked out much better than the night before. One difference is I didn’t need to wake up super early this morning. Had I woken up at 4:30 I would have gotten 7 hours of sleep which is still better than what I usually get. On a good note I can now wake up at 5:30 instead as school is over and I can be home by 8 rather than 7 so if I can make this new schedule work I can get my 8 hours of sleep each night 🤞🏻.

Well done on the loss this week! One thing that helps me with logging is to pre log my foods in advance. That way all I have to do is change the serving sizes once I weigh and measure everything.1 -

I did have a break in my sleep cycle early on but this worked out much better than the night before. One difference is I didn’t need to wake up super early this morning. Had I woken up at 4:30 I would have gotten 7 hours of sleep which is still better than what I usually get. On a good note I can now wake up at 5:30 instead as school is over and I can be home by 8 rather than 7 so if I can make this new schedule work I can get my 8 hours of sleep each night 🤞🏻.
How are you doing with your sleep?
Overall, my sleep is pretty good. The only thing is I have a bad shoulder and I am desperate need of a cortisone shot. It has been waking me up a lot at night so I find I am getting up later in the morning. I find I function best on 8 to 8.5 hours sleep a night. Lately, I have been averaging 7 to 7.5 hours even with getting up later. Some hospitals are starting to have appointments again so I should be able to get the shot soon.1 -
