@sleepymom5 I loved your catch up message, especially the story of Nicole's relationship with ice cream and hunger. What a great way to look at food. Enjoy your time at the shore!2

@sleepymom5 I feel you on the snacking challenges. I made a sinful pan of goodness we call Christmas crack. And well that hits all the right buttons for temptation. I have since learned over the last few days I still don’t have the self control to stay away from my trigger foods. I will need to toss the rest (since the kids aren’t eating it fast enough).1 -

So, I'm hoping that's water weight.
Guess what? It was. Weighed in at 167.2 lbs this morning, which I think is a much more reasonable weight when compared to last week's. Maybe it's time to switch my weigh day. Wednesdays must still feel the after effects of my weekends.
Also, I wrote a quick blog about water retention yesterday, if anyone is curious about how prevalent it is:1 -

I still need to go through everyone's posts, I just haven't had the time. Yesterday was a good day, my first good day since my brother's visit. I didn't get as much exercise as I would like but still a good day. I ate 3/4 of my wrap at lunch and I split the chips between lunch and dinner. Dinner I ate most of my chicken sandwich but did leave a few bites behind. Not too bad snacking but I did have some twizzlers, they are gone now. Today I have Jim's family coming for a bay day. We are going to have a late lunch, early dinner so I need to get moving. This will be another challenge since we are having all things I like. I am going to try to send as much as I can home with them since they are here on vacation. I won't have time to exercise before but I am hoping that I can after if the weather cooperates. If not, I will do a Leslie Sansone video. Hope everyone has a great day!
@1theresamcvean It is eyeopening. I am glad she didn't pick up my habits.
@debbiewsharpe Wow! It is amazing how many steps you get in! Great day!
@goingape Nice stepping too! I am the same way with my trigger foods. It is better not to have them around. I have problems when I have visitors staying with me and I have the food around. It feels like a constant struggle to stay away. It is a good idea to throw away the rest of the Christmas crack. My kids would always tell me to save whatever treat it was at the time but would never eat it so you know who would end up finishing it off.
@minstrelofsarcasm I have such a mental block with spelling minstrel Lol! I know a lot of people on our team will benefit from that blog. Keep that link handy, I am sure you will be using it a lot. I still want to go read it but I am so behind on everything here...
@pacsnc6 I hope that is a planned loss and not from being sick. I am behind so I don't know how you have been doing since you switched drugs. Last I heard you were doing good. Hope that is still the case. Sending hugs and prayers. xo5 -
Another thing quick about hunger and leaving food behind. I saw somewhere a lady saved all the food she left behind for a month in a zip lock bag in the freezer. (At first I was a little grossed out until she said it was in the freezer). She said she just left a few bites every meal and she had a big ziplock bag stuffed with food! I really wanted to do this for the visual for me to see how the little bites add up. However, Daisy eats most of what I have left over. She isn't the best trained dog Lol! I don't want to deny her since this is what has been going on her whole life. I am still thinking of a way to make this work. I just wanted to share incase that is something that would help someone else here.5

that was a nice surprise to see on the scale today, i did step on the scale monday and it was a little lower but i will take this. i did have a small bowl of ice cream last night as a special treat that i am hoping is the reason its more today. i started back to zumba which was great. i talked to my instructor about the spin class she teaches on monday nights that i think i am going to give a try. i have been cutting some of my portions in half, drinking more water, added in more fruits, veggies and salads. that gross drink i have been drinking in the mornings is becoming more tolerable and i think it is helping my stomach a little, we will see as time goes on. i hope the number on the scale keeps moving down. i did skip my workout yesterday to sit in the pool because it was so hot out and i know we will not have many more days of this. it is going to be a little cooler this weekend. i am treating myself to a pedicure today and i think i will go for a walk after dinner.
@sleepymom5 my dog gets all the leftover too. sometimes i have been known to even make her a hotdog or something special for herself.3 -

Ashley, I'm going to record your weight as 167.2 lbs this week. Would you like to move to Thursdays? I can make that happen. I feel so powerful just saying that.

Congratulations, Tracy! About Spinning, the first time I went, I wanted to strangle the woman who convinced us all to go. It was 10 of us from the office. I thought I would never go back. But, now I have my own Spin bike. Nothing fancy, our community centre sold them to the regulars in the class when they got new ones. Start slow and you may have found an exciting new cardio passion. Go early to get help setting up your bike and some pointers for beginners. Let us know how you like...or hate...your first class.

steps for today - 13570.
I prepped a veg / bean salad for tomorrow. It has red pepper, tomato, brown beans, cauliflower, bit of salsa, bit of catalina dressing and some frito hoops on top --carefully weighed : ) --for crunch. I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to it.....lol.
I forgot to say, this sounds delicious! How was it?

@sleepymom5 Thanks for the concern, but I have not been sick on the new regimen. Next week is my second dose and I hope it stays the same. I have had less appetite so that may have helped with the drop in weight. Let's hope I can keep that up. I have not been feeling as sleepy most days but not as much energy either. Most of the time I have been working on my cross stitch - it's a little more than 1/4 done! I still take one or two very short walks every day. And my husband has NOT taken over the housework or cooking yet.

I couldn't get into the community at all yesterday? It appears the app is still glitchy. I haven't caught up on all the posts. Anyway, after 102 days of no community transmission of Covid, we now have cases again. My city is back in level 3 lockdown and waiting to hear today if that will extend. We have 17 cases and no idea how it got into the community because we only had a handful of cases at the border in managed isolation. I am once again working from home, kids are home from school, shops are shut etc. We are under stay at home orders unless essential to leave.
Food-wise I have been on track, getting in good gym sessions. Once again thankful for my home gym. Last night I lifted the heaviest weight I have ever done for bench press. Which isn't heavy because that's always been weak for me - 25 kg - but damnit, that's better than when I was at my fittest, lightest and strongest. I actually went up on all my weights, but most of them are nowhere near what I used to lift. Yet. 😄 💪
I see a few comments about spin bikes - I love mine. I actually have two because I recently bought a new one. Spinning is my primary cardio.
I am also a Dr Who fan, but I can keep creatine straight in my head. 🤣 Of course, now I think Krillitane every time I say it. Thanks for that!
