I can’t make this story up. After admitting I don’t have my motivation lately, I talked myself into going to walk a few miles to start the week right. I’m finishing up the last lap around the neighborhood I walk at. Even over the music in my noise cancelling headphones I hear the ice cream truck pulling up towards me and I swear he just went the same speed as me for a minute 😂 like he was thinking “there’s a fat guy, he probably wants ice cream”
The universe is not with me right now
I did NOT buy ice cream just for anyone curious, haha3 -

That makes no sense to me that I would be in the top three. I had a pretty “blah” month in my eyes. Congrats to anyone with a loss though, that is why we are here.
I have really lost the drive I had in the June and the beginning of July. My anxiety continues to be sky high. I also have vacation in two weeks and my brain is really focused there. I’m not really looking for answers/suggestions. Just venting in a safe space
@erikNJ remember, you did have a really great loss before the July Challenge officially started, and your total loss would have been even greater! A lot of team members had a difficult month, too! I think you can still find a way to refocus, even with vacation coming up! Stay positive!0 -

@cmhubbard92,
My weigh-in date is Saturday, and not Suunday. I posted the information above on the Biggest Loser Starting Weight thread/page. 😃
@pandygirl1 thanks for pointing that out, I believe @brandi_84 requested the fix for you!1 -
@HASWLRS thank you! I was a mess of nerves all day before I went in. The meds have helped, but I need to make sure I take them regularly.
@DaffyGirl88 thank you! I ended up falling asleep around 4:30/5 last night, and didnt wake up until 4:30 this morning, except to take my meds! Hoping today goes smoothly!
@erikNJ thank you! I am!
@richmondwriter thank you! I am
I appreciate all your comments 💜 I don't feel as horrible as I thought I would, but I am definitely taking it easy today!2 -

Richmondwriter MUAC for 8/3/20:
Tracked: Yes
Under: No
Exercised: Yes - 30 minutes mall walking
Protein 15%, Fat 26%, Carbs 59%
40 carb or under dinner: Yes
Everything had gone well today, and I was -32 calories after dinner. Then I had a virtual happy hour with my friend. A couple of glasses of chardonnay, my resistance down, I found myself binge-eating granola bars and bread. I need to have some protein-high, ready-made items in case this happens again. I still have a lot of time to make up for this bad day. I am tracking every day and my goal is to finish the month under calories for the 30 days. Lesson learned: always have some protein-high, easy to grab items for when the need to snack is overwhelming.1 -
@EricNJ -You are so funny! Good job going walking when you didn't feel like it and also resisting that ice cream man.1

Hello TBBT
I'm a little late on the introduction.
My name is Brandi. I'm 35. I am one of Team TBBT's co- captains. I am a stay at home/home school mom to a teen. My daughter and I had been working out together most week day mornings. But that hasn't been as consistent since our summer break and having a little different routine with virtual activities and my husband working at home.
I lost focus and have been gaining more than losing since March.
I am ready to get back into a routine next week with a new school year starting back. It would seem like having more work going on would make it harder, but for me having an actual routine and schedule makes it easier.
New, old and returning teammates, I am so glad to have you here for this month's challenge.1 -

I read something that said
"Choose your hard.
Getting fit is hard
Being unfit is also hard."
This really hit me, because it can be so easy for me to make excuses not take care of myself. Not exercise, not eat right.
When I don't take care of myself, I feel it worse. I ache and have digestive issues and it feels harder to get motivated and becomes a cycle. This is what is going to motivate me this month to exercise at least 4-5 times a week. Even if it is a short yoga stretch every morning to begin building a habit.
Also, to make healthy food choices.3 -

@richmondwriter
That is awesome that you and your friend are still able to enjoy a happy hour together, even if it is virtually. Maybe having a nice cheese and turkey snack with your wine would hit the spot?2 -

That is funny. I can imagine you giving him the shake of the fist or the finger in your mind.
If that had been me it would have been a good thing that I don't keep cash on me when I am out for a walk, I would have given in, especially with this heat. @erikNJ1 -

@DaffyGirl88 I hope you made it through the storm alright!
We ended up getting hit much harder than predicted. Apparently, over 675,000 people are out of power, including us. We were pretty nervous with all the trees surrounding the house, but a few branches broke off for the most part. Our neighbors weren't so lucky with more trees down. It looks crazy outside this morning... I hope everyone ca get their power back soon!
