Sorry this is so late! Got busy with stuff today and almost forgot to post. I did weigh this morning first thing though so there we are. Today we watched a football game with my parents and served lunch- smoked ham, sauted potatoes, and roasted broccoli. Then after they left until just now I've been wrapping presents!
I got it entered in time. On Saturday’s I always check the chat just before I go to bed and as soon as I wake up so all the Saturday weights are entered before @jugar tallies for the week. Nice loss! I am so excited for you to reach your onderland goal by the end of the month. I got off easy on wrapping gifts this year. I sent them to my daughters as the apartment is in disarray right now.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »@lindamtuck2018
I have been released from quarantine from our Health Dept. Am I fully recovered? I'm not sure, I don't have the same symptoms, headaches have subsided but now I do have a cough, something I didn't have as a symptom. I still tire easy, I had a 2 hour nap today. So I am still making sure my mask is on when out and about as well as staying away from others. I don't venture out much, but I did need to get my Christmas shopping started for those things I couldn't get online and had to get a few groceries. I should pretty much be set and not have to venture out any more and won't because I don't want to make someone sick if I still have this stupid Virus.
My Mom took awhile before she got back to full speed. Take lots of rest. I hope you are fully recovered soon.littleflutterby wrote: »12th December

Well, at least my steps are up! Only because I was working today, and usually I'm at about 11k at this time! But I had to sit a lot because of my tummy pains.
I survived though! I am going to take a sick day on Monday though, so I can rest until I see my doctor.
So I am off until next friday. I kinda feel bad because I take 9 days off and then in for 1 and off for another 5, but whatcha gonna do?
I weighed myself today, and the scale is *finally* down which is nice! I am back to my routine. I was going to make a nice pasta for supper, then noticed the can of tuna I was going to use was like 4 years outta date! Oops.... I need to go shopping!!!
And THEN I opened up my bag of food and realised I left my watermelon at home! Ughhhhhh I was really looking forward to it!!! And since there is no eating after 8 for me, I couldn't have it when I got home. Buuuuuuut, I can look forward to it tomorrow!!
I'm going to try and do a mini workout tomorrow if I am up to it but I know I can't over do it.
I'm going to head to bed shortly, so I can get there before midnight!
Stay safe all
it is so nice when the scale starts moving again. I guess you will be so relieved when you see the doctor. Don’t push yourself if you are not ready. I hope you feel better soon.Check in De. 10 and Dec. 11

So, I wanted to thank you all so much for your support, especially @Bluetail6 , @lindamtuck2018 , @littleflutterby, @ScorioGirl70 and @363days.
You guys are so AMAZING! You are a wonderful support. I appreciated your personal messages from you as well Tanya, Linda and Lee.
I did kind of confront the person. It wasn't very satisfying, but I stood up for myself. We just tolerate each other which is fine. We has so many friends in commons that we can't avoid each other. I think I was so triggered because it reminds me of a family member. I have a lot of critical and unpleasant people in my family who I don't talk to very often.
Anyway, I got back on track yesterday with tracking and exercising and feel more myself again. Thanks again for everyone's support. I will write some responses to everyone below.
Thanks again!
Laura
Do you think standing up for yourself helped you get back on track? I am glad you are back being so awesome.First snow in Tulsa! It is beautiful and so cold - realizing there are others in colder climates makes me feel like a "light weight". Thinking about triggers and realizing the counseling I've been receiving has helped me so much. I have had about 5 EMDR sessions, through Zoom, and it has helped to dig down and find out what is at the root of my sensitivity with people. I'm not "cured" but it has given me hope and I can already see my relationships improving, and my reactions to people lessening. I used to wake up in the morning and before the day even started I just felt sad - it hasn't happened in two weeks. I felt sad when reading the Beck book, but I know the reason, whereas before there just seemed to be sadness looming over me. I hope everyone has something magical in your day today!
I don’t particularly like winter but snowfall is so magical. To me counselling is a godsend. It has got me through some rough patches. It is so nice when you start to feel better. I am looking forward to reading the Beck book and I am going to order the workbook on eBay.0 -

I think I have to stop recording steps for December. I’ve gotten too far behind. Lots of stress this month with mom sick and having to wrap up a semester of teaching. My mom seems to be improving, so hopefully things will get better. I’m going to drop food off at her door today. She lives an hour and a half away, so I’ve got everything packed and ready to go. I haven’t been losing weight, but at least I’m maintaining.
I’ve been doing Zumba via Zoom and really like it. I enjoy the live sessions because I feel part of a group. Hugs to everyone struggling with Covid!
I completely understand ... I will keep you on the spread sheet that way you can continue when you are up to it .... so sorry you are under stress and that your mom is sick ... I hope things get better for you soon ..hugs0 -

I am going to take @iHUSTLE4MUSCLE quote today to heart especially that everything will workout. I did way overeat yesterday but my binges are getting smaller. Progress! My goal today is to not binge or overeat. Just one day and I can do it.
My granddaughter came over to help me last night.we got some of the cupboards that I can’t reach done and my husband will help me today with the rest. We didn’t get to the furniture store yesterday so we are going very soon.
Have a wonderful Sunday!

Weigh In Day Sunday
PW (Previous Weight): 213
CW (Current Weight): 215
LTD (Loss to Date): it's shrinking and shrinking - 34lbs lost to date (back to my original start date) and it used to be over 70lbs! I'm terrified that I'm that cautionary yo-yo tale person as I can't for the life of me get a grip, just STOP and start eating normally again. I'm binging and binging and binging and it's making me feel awful but I can't stop! Cue guilt-spiral here. I'm gonna have to try harder. And stop beating myself up so much.5 -

Like I posted on my weigh in, yesterday was a day of watching football with my parents and then wrapping Christmas presents. I got all the presents wrapped that aren't for my kids. They were around so I couldn't pull out anything for them. I felt very accomplished though getting everything else done. I hopped on the treadmill at night to get the rest of my steps in and then settled into the couch to watch something with my husband. I just had a great feeling about how the day went and it felt nice.2 -

Well, it has been a challenging week. Multiple medical appointments for both me and my daughter. Work has been crazy and there is talk about re-deployment next week. I am a nurse that has been in a more administrative roll for years. I haven't touch a patient in over 20 years. My biggest worry is that I have reactive airway disease and the disinfectants are a big trigger for me. I hope they work with me and put me in a roll that doesn't trigger me. I am hoping for something in case management where I have some experience. Between the worry, extra work and multiple medical appointments, I have not been sleeping well or had time to get my steps in. But I avoided stress eating and still managed a loss. So, I'll take that

Yesterday was my one rest day per week. Today I finished my 8 program and have a week to sample stuff before I start my new one.
This week I am going to try the skinnytaste meal plan. I already mostly make her meals for dinner so hoping this won’t be too challenging for me. It is breakfast and lunches for one and dinner for 4. It is about 1,000 calories per day to leave room for snacks or a drink etc. I hope I can do it! I need a change.4 -

I'm glad you were able to find the workbook on Ebay. I never think to go there, I usually order from Thriftbooks and put it on my wish list, they notify me when it is available. I'll have to remember to check Ebay when I'm looking for something.1 -

Hi all! Just a quickie because my midnight bedtime is looming!
Another day without a workout but still, like the last nearly 2 weeks, still feeling a bit off. I have my fasting blood test tomorrow so have to remember not to eat!!! haha. It's at 11.45, that's the earliest I couldve made. So I'm going to have a cordial drink now, and that will have to do me til about 12.30 tomorrow.
Today was a good day emotionally- watched my soccer game (didn't go the way I wanted but it was ok) and had some chill time, watching funny videos on tiktok... honestly I just like that kinda day once in a while.
And my friend (my adopted momma) came by to drop off the requisition for tomorrow... she printed it for me, since mine is on the blink.
Anyhoo- I will take some time to check in with you guys, I miss my "we" time on here!!!!
Stay safe all *hugs*

@lelbarou and @363days
Glad I made you two laugh, but I am dead serious. I used to be that shy girl, I guess one to many people step on my toes and I found my backbone and the b!t*h within, found her voice. That B**** gets in trouble though because there are times I should just keep my thoughts to myself. haha 2 -

CW 323
LTD 47
So, yesterday I weighed 320, but I'm sticking with my Monday weigh in which is 323.
I think it's better to stick with one day a week to account for fluctuations.
My weight here on Downsizers and on MFP have been different due to different weigh in days,
but I'm streamlining this too from now on.
I'm okay with only 1 pound. I don't know why it was so much less yesterday,
maybe the binge caught up to me.
I know if I keep going that IT will happen! I will lose the weight!
I appreciate all of your support. I means a lot!
Lots of love. 💓💓💓💓💓💓
