    Hi all,
    I had a good Saturday morning with an early walk and such, but suddenly my tummy went sour and then it wasn't good on Sunday as well. It seems to be better now so I'm thankful for that, but I will be careful. Might have to skip my usual morning coffee!

    @lindamtuck2018
    Just want to say thank for your encouragement to me from your last post. It is frustrating to not lose. I appreciate all your comments and encouragement! You are always there! Thank you for this!

    @363days
    Thank you as well for your comments. You are right that I need to get on and set the appointment for my sleep apnea machine. I plan on calling today. I don't what impact my sleep issue has had on my weight, but I suspect I will find out in the next week or two!

    @iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
    Hi Hustle, I'm so sorry to hear that you have had such a difficult weekend. I understand you. I have been there. Everyone has off days. I'm so sorry you feel terrible. Best thing to do is forgive yourself and get back on the horse today. You are such an inspiration with your exercise and steps. You have a lot of discipline and you will succeed. I'm sure! Please be gentle with yourself! You CAN do this!

    @lindamtuck2018
    Sounds like you have a great plan for your exercise. Love the idea of going in the pool. I'm on lockdown so I can only walk. And riding the exercise bike sounds good too. Both of these activities are easy on the body and should be good for you. Sorry to hear you are having nerve pain. You have a number of maladies and I hope they lessen as you move forward. Thank you so much for always encouraging others and being there for others. You are a real gift.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday week!

    Weigh In Day Sunday
    PW (Previous Weight): 215
    CW (Current Weight): 216
    LTD (Loss to Date): 33lbs lost to date


    Edit: I’m switching my weigh in date to Friday, as I’m in Europe I always log too late in the day so moving the day up should help! Thank you!

    The change has been made. Can you update your weight on Friday?

    Daily Post December 20
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 128oz
    Steps 4042

    Sunday is most always rest day, no different yesterday. We were at my parents all day. I know the coming week is going to be pretty busy but I also know I need to make some time for exercise when I can. We are opening presents at my parents house both Thursday and Friday and the meals might be a little heavier than I'm used to.

    Thanks Megan. How is Dakota?

    He has the cone of shame off his head .... His ear will never stand up like a German Shepherd's ear does ... he still has mild ear infections in both ears so I have to give him medication thru a syringe daily ..other than that he is doing well and mama can finally sleep thru the night since he will be in his kennel at night ........Aspen my husky turns 3 years tomorrow :) Thanks for asking :)

    Over calorie budget. :( Darn black forest cake!
    Drank 128 oz water.
    Strength trained 45 minutes.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I did elliptical for 1.2 miles in ten minutes. Not sure if you can calculate steps from that? Having an arthritic flare up in left hip so tried elliptical instead of walking. May not get much walking in this week. We are expecting a few days of below zero windchills.

    I understand the hip flare ups from walking. I took a long walk today & now am in pain. Time for yoga! We are hip issue gals! Not the best club to be in!

    You will never get kicked out for either not losing or gaining. Maintaining during the holiday season is amazing.
