Pollen is off the charts, even my eczema is acting up on my fingers. Did yoga and a shorter walk. Had a stressful evening with an HOA meeting, but slept well after that with great dreams.
@annabananamc , I love how you are approaching this with an analytical mind!1 -
@cmhubbard92 , Welcome back, Christine!
Sunday, February 21st
Logged and under and went for another two mile walk, although my knee is telling me I probably shouldn't have. I was really hungry today as I had a bigger deficit from my active Saturday (14,832 steps).
Monday, February 22nd
I woke up at 4 this morning as the large icicles hanging outside our bedroom window came crashing down and made one heck of a loud noise. Super hungry again today, and tired (obviously), so I decided I was going to give myself a little leeway. I did log, but was over by 162 calories. No exercise, as I overdid it on the weekend. This was a day where I was glad we have stopped buying chips. Hungry and tired is a recipe for disaster if there is mindless munchy food at the ready! I think my dedication to this process since January 15th is rubbing off on my husband a little bit. I did ask him if he wanted any snack foods when we were at the grocery store on Saturday and he declined. I have also noticed that he is eating a little less food at lunchtime on the weekends.1 -
@Krysless2 , How was your brother's wedding over the weekend? Haven't seen you resurface since....hopefully you've fully recovered!1

And this morning down that pound. Feel like a yo-yo with it. Def. stuck in that 165 range!

Today I am off to Bok Tower Gardens which should be blooming wonderful. Seeing my bestie who I haven't seen in person since last January. We figured walking around outside masked should be pretty safe.
I bet I get my steps today!

That's great - your strategies are paying off, and your healthy habits are rubbing off on your husband as well!1 -

I’m here I’m here!! Sorry I’m trying to get back in the game! Please don’t forget about me! I’m stuck in a place where I can see and feel the clothes tightening but not mentally wanting to address the situation. My advise to everyone: never take a break from our team and MFP! Even if you have a lot going on!
Also I cracked my phone screen at the wedding reception while showing my beautiful grandmother how to do the “Whip” and the “Nae Nae” dance moves😆. So that didn’t help matters! Here’s some Pics

Had a good day yesterday, weather was good and I was able to get outside a couple of times taking a break from work. I miss days like that. Just a few more weeks...3 -
@Krysless2, thanks for the advice about not leaving MFP or this group. I know on those really bad days it is easier said than done, but once you make that first post, you do feel so much better and a lot more grounded. Love the wedding photos, especially the one with the bride and her daughter, I am assuming. And I also love the picture of the bride and her bridesmaids and the beautiful dresses that you all have chosen. In my day, all the bridesmaids dresses were identical, and that always bugged me. Instead, having different dresses in similar shades is so lovely! (And I also feel like your grandmother today, as I have never heard of the "Whip" or the "Nae Nae"!)1

logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: no
I was just about headed out the door for a long anticipated pedicure (last one Jan. 2020) when my husband was dropped off by a co-worker. He had put his back out at work. I got him settled and still made my appointment. His parents dropped by in the afternoon (they were already stopping by for another work related reason) and they brought chocolates. I had some, and fit them into my calorie budget, but they sure don't fill you up like better food choices would have.3 -
MUAC for 2/24:
Tracked: yes
Under: no
Exercised: yes - 4.9 miles with pooch, spread out over two walks (20 minutes running, the rest walking)
I got the munchies late afternoon and made some bad food choices. I know next time to go straight for the Protein Shake. I was +301. Hopefully offsetting that, I exercised so much that I was completely worn out by 8 p.m.
I've had some professional frustrations lately. Being a part of this group is really helping. There are things I can't control, but I feel that, though I am still working on it, exercise and eating is something I can control.
@Krysless2 - Thank you for posting the wedding pictures - everyone looks fabulous. You can really see all the joy and love on this special day. Now that you are checking in, I know you'll be able to get back in the routine.
@annabananamc - How was your afternoon in the gardens with your bestie?
@HASWLRS - I hope your husband feels better soon. You did a great job staying under calories, even with the cookies. I'm glad you still kept your appointment. I think we need to take care of ourselves in these trying times. I have my eye on a workout item to buy when I get below 140 pounds--trying to decide between a cheerful yellow jacket or two super soft long-sleeved cotton shirts in pretty colors. My scale seems stuck between 141 and 143.

I will be stepping down as co captain and taking time off from the challenge. I wish you all success in your weight loss journey. I will miss this group. Keep working hard. I will continue to work towards my goals, as well. I don't doubt that I will be back. All of you have been so supportive and inspiring. Thank you for being here for me.
I am sure that Christine @cmhubbard92 would appreciate a volunteer to be co captain or to take up the MUAC.
I will get both last week's and this week's MUAC results up by the end of the week/beginning of next week.8 -
@brandi_84 - thank you so much for all you've done for our group! I may be able to help with the MUAC - what would that involve? @cmhubbard92 - I think that may help me stay engaged and focused next month!
@richmondwriter thank you for asking - I had the best day seeing my friend in the gardens, even though the pollen knocked me for a loop. I wore my mask a lot of the day which helped with pollen too! I took a couple risks (hugged my friend once without a mask on and sat about 3 feet away when we ate lunch), but mostly felt very safe and it was SO GOOD to talk for hours face to face.
I got a lot of steps in, and stayed under calories, but it was a very carbolicious day of nutrition.
SO, I have been analyzing and re-analyzing my lack of progress. I think for next month I will try to do more strenght exercises, and also lower carbs to lower my inflammation, which should also help with reactivity to pollen.
We shall see - I'm in for next month either way.
