The snake gets credit for a large side hop and about 5 or 6 steps after that. Some car was driving by when I did it. He did a U-turn to stop and ask me what was going on and if I was okay. It was a pretty big snake. He was probably 4-5 feet long.4 -

The biggest challenge this week has been reading all your posts about all the bad things happening. I’ve been indulging sugar as a coping mechanism. This has to stop. I should do better from tonight... I’ve been terrified to open this page....even now I’m not scrolling up and reading...I’m scared that there might be more... I just hope this week brings happiness to you all...strength and peace to us all!2

Well yesterday was my birthday, who schedules a weigh-in day the day after one's birthday?? Anyhow, I cheated and weighed in after a long swim so my gain was only a pound.

Update my dad is having the infection drained more and then having surgery today to get his leg amputated just under the knee. So he will still be in the Ottawa hospital for 5 days then transfer to local hospital for another 5 days before going to a respite place.
@jennifersusanmcdougall I'm showing your PW as 187.5 and SW as 190. Please check and see if these nines should be 8s. Let me know.
Sorry about your Dad's infection...my cousin who was in the accident I posted about, had another surgery today and had to have the second leg taken to above the knee, so now both legs are amputated above the knee. My family is devastated but grateful she's alive. It's just a lot to take in...so I can imagine how you feel. My prayers are with ya'll...

I'm sorry yes it is 187.5 and 186.5 lost one pound last week.lol. He may lose the other leg of he's not careful. They did find a cut with an infection on it already again a few days ago. He's already had one toe removed of his leg he still has earlier this year. I'm going next week to see him. He said he loved the fish at the hospital. I said "You know there is meals on wheels or myself or my sister could make it for him you don't have to go to the hospital for fish". I got a bit of a chuckle. He was still a bit groggy though.1 -

So eventhough I admit I drank a bottle of wine the night we found him.I could have comfort ate all week.I was dying for chocolate,cake etc but resisted it.I feel proud that my food was still logged & I stuck to my goals.
Your in our prayers 🙏 that is exactly how they found my aunt except it was a nurse who found her. She did survive barely they said given another hour she would have. She passed away a few months afterwards. That was hard my son still wants to go visit her when we go to my dad's. I can't imangine losing a sibling.2 -

My biggest hurdle this week has to be sleep. Man working with little sleep makes one crazy and snappy. I guess my mind just won't shut off. I need to to bed as soon as I'm tired instead of doing one last chore. Or not watch the tv loop. Good thing is now if I've reached my calorie goals for the day I grab water and gum. That way my mouth is working but not doing me harm lol. Or I do mending that way both hands are busy I'm slowing not having enough left to do. Well signing off at another late night.2

I've started adding more running to my routine. I'm running at least half a mile of my usual 3 mile walk. I'm lifting weights 3x a week now as well and adding in some other strength training. I'm closing in on that 100 lbs lost mark. I've never been at this weight in my adulthood. Its weird seeing some of the changes in definition.4
