    @AmyG1982 my goals this week are to increase water and to be strict to my diet. No cheat meals, no cheat bites. I just want to establish a solid foundation before allowing myself little treats.

    Sorry, I forgot to log my weight yesterday. Can I change my weight in day to Mondays? It will be a lot easier to remember.

    Hey, we have your starting weight as 154, is that correct or should it be updated to 162?

    Hello! I am still trying to remember my way around the message boards on MFP. I have been a member for a long time, but took a break away for a few years. After a year of being home bound from the pandemic and also turning 50 this year, I figured it was time to work at this to get back into some sort of shape!

    Daily Post: Monday
    Track: Yes
    Calories: over by 200
    Exercise: no
    Day: I hate exercising when it's cold outside. I hate exercising inside even! But I will have to challenge this mind set and just get into it. I'll try doing some stretching this evening, but I was productive in other ways today, I just can't let that distract me from including some exercise.

    I know a lot of you are already going strong but I’m just starting fresh today so I’m excited for the new week, new month and new challenge!

    I’m going to try and stay on top of things a bit better since we have a lot more members now. I’m going to try and do daily weigh-in reminders so we’re not missing a bunch at the need of the week.

    Anyone have any specific goals for the week? I’m going to focus on movement and water (I’ll add those to my daily check-ins too)

    My goal is to track everything and do daily check ins as well. I have been HORRIBLE with daily posting, and I have said that I was going to start many times, but this time feels different. 😄 We got this!

    Day: I am feeling a little under the weather. Had a horrible headache Friday into Sat, felt tired all day Sat. Yesterday and today I am dizzy and just feel.... WEIRD. I recently traveled back from Arizona last Thursday so I have been quarantined since arrival back to Alaska. I did have to do mandatory testing Thursday so I am waiting my results. Hubby has to quarantine with me in case he was exposed. He is going crazy sitting here doing nothing, and his boredom is driving me mad 🤣 Pray for me!

    Hope you are all doing well. I will check back in tomorrow.

    Daily Post Monday (but it's Tuesday morning when I'm writing)
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: nope
    Day: Had to pick my toddler up from daycare early because he had rosy cheeks (and daycares are hyper-vigilant during COVID). He cannot go back until Friday at the earliest due to their policies so was super stressed about having to take the unpaid days this week. (I'm a teacher and cannot use my personal sick days for family members. As a single mom, I have no other options). So, feeling stressed.
    Water: Only halfway to my daily goal

    Oh no! Sorry this happened. COVID has everyone in a bind, I am afraid. Hope the little one is feeling okay.

    I'll be eating light again today so I'll do my daily posting early.

    Daily Post: Monday
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: None
    Day: Still not 100%. Still having some sinus/dizziness. Taste is impaired. Waiting for results. Laying low today. Have a great day everyone.

    Hubby was permitted to go to work but I have a feeling if my test comes back positive they will put him on a quarantine. My test from Thursday came back negative so they made me test again yesterday since I am still showing symptoms. There are more bugs going around than just COVID, so it is possible it's something else, but they quit testing for flu and all the other things around here. Lol

    Thanks @CrystalEssex ! He's totally fine - no fever, acting normal. They over-reacted, but were justified to do so. I just wish they would tell me if he's actually clear to return on Wednesday so I can plan for my own students.

    That's frustrating. My husband was cleared last night to go back to work (being exposed to me 😆) . I lost taste somewhat today, so we tried to call back today to let them know that my symptoms progressed. No one answered after calling the main line and the on call line so at 8am my husband's boss said "I have an email saying you're clear, come in". At 930, he got a call saying he had to go back home. Lol. I completely get it. I think we are all rolling with the punches here. Glad he isn't sick.

    The first few days are the worst. My thing is if I make it a few days, I tend to want to "celebrate" and then I go back into the vicious cycle again. Ugh. So hard! Glad you're doing well overall! You got this girl!! 💪

    Missing weigh ins for Monday from:
    @Babycarrit
    @bechoe

    Please make sure you log your weight before end of day Saturday so you get counted for this week! Even if you’re not happy with the # on the scale, it’ll help with building habits and accountability. :)

    Due today:
    @CrystalEssex
    @Kathie_GoGo
    @Paulette_Spencer

    Happy hump day! (Tho I totally thought today was Thursday so I’m mourning tomorrow not being Friday haha)

    Disclaimer: 😆 I went on vacation and gained 5 lbs. So this is actually only a 2 lbs loss after loosing the 5 lbs I gained (was 122 when I got back) And I have been feeling under the weather. Regardless, I will TAKE IT 💪. Motivation for next week!
