Well the scale is DEFINITELY going in the wrong direction lately.. not sure what the deal is but this has REALLY got to change.. something has to change I’m actually at a total loss of y this is happening. Normally I’d be like “yup I ate a whole cake last night” or well damn I didn’t work out much this week” but neither of those are the case.. however I could eat a whole cake haha.. I’m sorry I just keep bringing y’all down over the past 2 months.. I was doing really well until I moved, crashed my car, mom passed away, in the middle of building a house, new job.... I mean the list of my stressors go on anddd onnnnn... ok well I’m just going to accept my gain now and move on.. I’ll pray and work super hard at the rest of today.

Good morning ☀️
@SMcFall0215 Its all good. You have a LOT going on, it will even out soon.
@CanadianGiraffe Prayers for you and your family.
@KellyBgetsfit Mom guilt is no joke! I’ve been right there with you more than once.
Today my goal is to buy a new scale. Haha
Walk 5 miles
Drink 40 oz
Have a great day everyone!

The last couple of weeks have been emotionally challenging for many of us, myself included. I've added you and your son to my prayers @CanadianGiraffe and hope he heals soon!
I haven't been to the gym yet this week, my sleep had been disturbed until yesterday and when I don't sleep well I have such little motivation for exercise. Thankfully last night was more restful and I plan to go to the gym today. I chose to not streas about my step goal this week because I just couldn't handle another stressor.
That being said I am very happy to report I only engaged in comfort eating on Tuesday and otherwise have done well in managing calories, logging, and making mostly healthy choices.
The weekend is looking fabulous and sunny so I intend to spend much of it outside enjoying the last bit of warmth before our Michigan winter hits.4 -
Yesterday wasn't great, I went over calories, and that is because I did not exercise... I got home from work and was so sore, my core hurt, my hamstrings, and my upper back... I'm telling you that Yoga stretched things that hadn't been stretched in a long time... So I took the day off.. but I adjusted, so I will still meet my weekly goal, Sunday was supposed to be a rest day and just a nice nature walk, so I will move Strength to today, and Sunday, and Saturday will be yoga... I will still do my nature walk on Sunday also... The 10K days are all the same, luckily yesterday wasn't one of them...
I don't have alot going on this weekend, the weather will be super nice, so we are Kayaking on Saturday, but not till the afternoon when it warms up a bit, so my goal is to get up and exercise my butt off, and get my 10K steps and yoga done before we go, and if I do, I am taking a bottle of champagne with me... lol Nothing better than sitting on the water, relaxing, watching the birdies, while sipping on some Vueve...
Sunday I will get up early and take the puppers to North Point, it's a really neat park it's on the water, and used to be an amusement park that they would ferry people to from the city, but nature took over a long time ago, and they made it a state park back in the 70's, but the concrete paths, a fountain (empty), and the power station building ( just a concrete shell), and some foundations of stuff that used to be there... So it's kinda fun to wander around and imagine what it used to be... Then I have football at 1, then prep for the week...
Hope you have a wonderful day !

I’m back to exercising and logging daily. So far it’s paying off on the scale and more importantly feeing great!

Friday Weigh-in
PW: 184.5
CW: 187.7
Suffice to say my parents' scale was a tad off.
I think it may also be that time of the month soon, so hopefully in position for a better week next week. Sleep has been difficult this week, and poor sleep also gives me migraines so I've had a fairly persistent headache for 2.5 days, ugh. Still looking forward to nice weather this weekend.
@CanadianGiraffe so sorry to hear about your son. Sending positive thoughts!3 -
@jugar Thanks for not writing me off for this month's challenge. November is already running at 'break neck' speeds. My exhusband, whom I'm currently 'redating' had hernia surgery on Monday, so I've been taking care of him this week. All the other irons are still in the fire too. So I'm exhausted....but determined.
@jugar I don't know what starting weight you have for me, but...
PW (as of 11/1/20) was 347.4
CW = 346.8

Our eldest 36 year old son was hospitalized Tuesday with an infection circulating in his blood stream which is attacking various organs including his heart, eyes and lungs. He has Type I diabetes and while it isn't the cause of the problem it certainly adds to the challenge of dealing with it. With Covid-19 he can only have limited visitation and he has designated my husband and me. So for now we are driving 6 hours round trip every day to the hospital. I am apologizing in advance but with all this I may be invisible here for a while. If any of you are so inclined, we would covet your prayers for our son's healing and for all the medical team who is caring for him.
Praying for all of you right now, @CanadianGiraffe0 -
Thank you everyone for your prayers and comforting words. We are still waiting on a lot of test results so really don't know anything more, except that he is where he needs to be for now and getting good care from what he describes as his "legion" of doctors.6

Combination of being bloated last week and feeling like I've been punched in the gut most of this week so I don't feel much like eating4 -
Here goes Friday flying by - we had no internet for hours this morning (the conspiracy theories we made up explaining what had happened to our Xplornet satellite were hilarious), then the electricity was blinking on and off for another couple of hours. It was beautiful outside - maybe the infrastructure here can't take it when the weather is so nice in November!
Great job on getting every single Friday weigh-in done! Things are looking nicely green in there. I'll be back later tonight - gotta get my Pilates done and then finish all the other stuff that didn't get done today

I would never write you off! I know your schedule gets seriously demented from time to time (most the time??), so I don't fret too much - I know you'll get here when you can. Your ex/re is lucky to have you to take care of him! My sister's partner also had hernia surgery recently - you and @evelynladams527 can compare notes on how patient you had to be with your patients!evangsimmons170 wrote: »@jugar Thanks for not writing me off for this month's challenge.

Hello everyone. Sorry I have been MIA. I wanted to make sure I popped on with my weight as I haven't been sticking to things very well since getting back from our little break.
My gym has closed under the new lockdown in England, which is a real blow. I have bought Ring Fit Adventure and both me and fiance are really enjoying it! So let's hope I can keep on top of things anyway!7 -

😮 I was going to take an excused week because this week has been crazy and unfocused on my healthy eating and I didn’t want to ding the team. But I’m showing a loss 🤷🏻♀️so I’m posting it.
Sorry to be MIA, but ALL of my bandwidth is taken up with this Election, political junkies that we are. So proud of my Philly!!!! 🇺🇸
See you when it’s done!!!😘🤗5 -
It's the weekend!! After yesterday's debacle overeating all day, I have two dinner outings before my weigh in day on Monday. Going to check menus and see if I can find some things to keep in my calorie range.4

Hello!
Things have been going pretty well. Food has been good and I have done a better job at getting protein and fiber in. I have been reading a lot and listening to pod casts to get more information on weight training. I did about 45 minutes of strength training today and I took a relaxing 20 minute walk.6 -
Last call!
Week 1 is ending and I'll need all the final numbers by first thing Sunday morning here in the Eastern North America time zone!
I hope to get our last 3 -
