It is so hard having sick kids. Glad they are feeling better this morning. Sorry to hear that you are not well. Stomach viruses are awful. Hope you're feeling better soon.
@Bluetail6
I am so, so glad that you are okay. I can understand why it upsets you so much if you lost your father that way.
@azkunk
Glad you like the new doctor! She sounds like she will be on top of things.
@TheresaM787 and @lcfa5317
Way to go with the bike riding!
@rlaskey2
I haven't tried sheet pan meals but love the idea. I'll have to try it. Glad your neck is feeling better. Does your chiropractor adjust your neck or is it mostly stretching?
@red1185
That dinner sounds amazing. I like to look at my weekly calorie total on MFP. Some days are high and some low, but it usually evens out for the week:)
@lindamtuck2018
Glad you took a rest day:)
@megan_smartiepants1970
Glad you are getting rid of those shoes. Blisters are terrible:) I hope you can get better ones.
@lelbarou
Sorry your stomach is bothering you:( Glad to hear that you like your students. My kids are both in college, two different colleges, with all online classes due to the pandemic, and some of their professors leave a lot to be desired. Frankly, I am not sure why they want to teach because they certainly don't seem like they care at all!4 -
@888Angie888
I would have felt the same way about that one more step! Is that all from walking or do you run? That's a lot of steps!
@mszoueb
Wow. I can't believe the mud was like that. That certainly was an eventful ride between the mud problems and the dark tunnel!
@Tazaria87
I would love to have recipes that are free of grains and refined sugar. My daughter loves to bake. She is willing to try new recipes that would be healthier!

Yes I am. And as always my weight is going up and down. What pisses me off because I wanna see real results with my effort. This Saturday I'm planning to eat pizza 🍕 with my girlfriend because we do 3 years together and we are going to re-do our first date but corona- proofed. And one of the important things is pizza. And I'm afraid of going really up on my scale that daylindamtuck2018 wrote: »

Plan out you week and try eat fewer calories than normal to “bank” for Saturday and/or add exercise and don’t eat the calories back to bank. Is Sunday your weigh day? Can you weigh in on Saturday instead this week. Bottom line, plan for your celebration and then just enjoy it. Even if you do end with a bump up, don’t sweat it. Just buckle down over the next couple of days after and it will go back down. Ultimately, we all need to figure out what works for us in the long term so that we can continue to live life and celebrate the things that matter.
Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday was quite good. My tummy is getting better. I read about something called low FODMAPS for people with IBS and IBD. Some foods have a low amount of FODMAPS which is an acronym for some pretty difficult scientific words. LOL. Anyway, some foods are lower FODMAPS and easier to digest for IBS and IBD sufferers than others. I am trying to eat low FODMAP.
@iradi8 - I'm really sorry your children don't have good teachers and that they don't seem to care about their students. I have great affection for my students and care a great deal. I'm confused why you would want to teach if you don't really care about other people. It's pretty mystifying.
@Bluetail8 - I didn't know that your father passed from a car accident. No wonder this was so terrible for you. This car incident was doubly bad. I hope this doesn't happen again. Take good care.
@azkunk - so happy to hear the new doctor is so much kinder and responsive. That is really wonderful!
I hope everyone has a good Tuesday!3 -

Finally a small loss, probably my muscle after not working out for two weeks. I am going to start a new hybrid calendar of two programs that I like today, I hope. Day is a little busy so we will see how that goes. Good news is my parents are fully vaccinated and coming to see us today after months.7 -
@lelbarou
You are really getting those steps in! Hope the new diet settles your stomach.
@red1185
Your dinner sounds delicious! Balancing your week out sounds like a good plan.
@rlaskey2
Nice loss! I love sheet pan dinners. I have a chicken one I make with an epicure seasoning. The seasoning doesn’t have a lot of sodium so that is a plus. Great news on being able to see your parents.
@azkunk
Look at all those green check marks! Well done! I am glad your new doctor is listening to you and going to investigate it further. It is so frustrating when everything disappears.
@Beautyofdreams
You have had a rough time lately. I hope the monitor can find out what is causing you to black out. Great job donating your clothes.
@iradi8
A loss is good! Put last week behind you and have a fresh start today.
@Z10Rtza
I agree with everything Andrea said.

Daily Goals
❌Steps 3,940
❌Sleep
✅Water
✅Track
Weekly Goals
Weights 2x/wk:
Bike 3x/wk
Walk 5x/wk: ✔️✔️
I ended up going for a short walk yesterday but it wasn’t enough to meet my step goal. I woke up last night last night and ended up snacking. The damage wouldn’t have been too bad but my hubby had left a chocolate bar in the fridge and I ate it. 🤦♀️ Of course, after the midnight snack I couldn’t fall back to sleep for a couple of hours leaving me short on my sleep goal. I am off to see if the exercise room is free and get my weights and bike done. I am going to skip the treadmill and walk outside as it is a beautiful day.
Happy Hump Day!5 -

Tracked Yes
Under Calorie Yes
Water 82oz

I barely moved yesterday as is evident by my steps. I feel like I did good with my water, I tried really hard not to get dehydrated. I think I only ate 500 calories, it was hard to get food down. Today it feels like my appetite is returning more so I'm going to try to be within calorie range. I have more energy today than yesterday but it seems to be coming in spurts and running out quickly as I'm trying to do things. I probably won't try for a formal exercise today, I think I need to take it easy. The rest of the family is basically recovered, so I think we'll all be great in a couple more days at the most.5 -
I try to get out to "run" at least a few times a week. Technically, I'm probably too slow to be considered a runner, but I keep trying and getting a little better at it 🙂. Odds are really, really good that I will never be 'fast' 😉.@888Angie888

Scales not in my favour today. Up to 138lbs. Has been up since my long run weekend two weeks ago. I have been eating quite well, except a couple of meals out this past week were a bit bad.3

Another solid day. Scale is a little up today but still in the 172s. Excited to get below 172 as that will be 35lbs lost. Today was a rough work day and I feeling a bit stressed. Hope that doesn’t impact the scale. I need to focus on keeping those macros dialed in.4 -

I know it’s frustrating. Remember all of the positive changes, the scale will be in your favor again. You got this!
