I spent the morning looking for jobs and calling unemployment to understand what happens soon when my furlough officially becomes a lay off.
Not sure if I sat too long but my back was super sore after so I was glad I had a chiropractor appt scheduled. I took a rest day from workout and just did a short walk with the dog.5 -

As I suspected, a slight gain this week. Not worried about it. I have had a really tough time the last few weeks. When I am home and things are routine, it is not as hard to do well. Things have not been routine for the last few weeks or more. I wasn't as active last week either. Anyway, I expect a loss next week!4 -

Things are going well! Can't complain! I have an interivew for a morning job next week, but the vibe of the manager wasn't great! hmmmm. There are a few better jobs I just applied for yesterday so even if I get it, I might not accept and wait for something better with someone nicer! LOL
Have a great day everyone!
You ROCK!

Also my current goals are staying within calories, walking 30 minutes per day and drinking more water
Hi Roz, these are great goals!
I noticed the numbers 0810. My father's birthday was August 10th so it struck a cord with me!
Great to find out more about you.
Looking forward to having you on our team! YAY!2 -
I posted the following to my wall moments ago. I wanted to post it here as well. I'll check in tomorrow (well later today), which shouldn't be so busy.😊
Hello MFP fam!! Just now really checking in for a minute. Today (yesterday) just totally got away from me!! I normally only weigh myself only 2x a week. Monday and Thursday. My official weigh-in day for posting to the wall is Thursday. Well I just felt like weighing today....Wait for it...... I am officially at a NORMAL weight for my height😂😂. Yes, it is at the very high end... But, I'm happy as a pig in, well you know, 🤣🤣. It is 1.2 down from last week. Yesterday I finished the ProLon Fast Mimicking program. It was the best reset I could have done for 5 days. It was like fasting, but I was able to eat... Anyway, I absolutely loved it, three days of the days with more sodium than I would prefer, notwithstanding!! It was the perfect, I mean perfect, reset for me. I am now so very excited to continue on with my regular plan and get to goal. I am planning on doing it again next month for another 5 days, but we shall see. On this reset, losing a little weight was a total bonus. I honestly just wanted a doable kickstart!! Well.... If you thought I was motivated for the last 6+ months.... I really have reaching goal in my sights before year end. We're talking another 20 to 25 lbs. Way, way doable by/before the end of the year😁😁😎8 -
All of y’all have awesome step numbers!!! Congratulations!
@Bluetail6 : that’s so exciting! I’m happy for you!!!
@Megan_smartiepants1970 steps for 3/23: 9,801. I was walking all over work, and then came home and cooked a bunch of stuff - so I was walking all over my kitchen. No wonder I was so exhausted last night lol
I will say I’m a little afraid of what the scale is going to show this week. Seeing what I’m eating - it looks fine (right around my calorie allotment), but I feel like I’m overdoing it. Ugh.....1 -

I am excited for this loss, I had mentally prepared myself for a gain with the birthday celebrations. Must have been the walking and workouts and mostly skinnytaste meals. This is the first time I have gotten under 183 since I have been with you and I have been here awhile. I am slowly working toward my first goal of 180 since that is where I was when covid hit I think.
Yesterday was a good day signed my severance paperwork and got in a walk with a friend and chest/triceps workout.4 -

Thank you for the warm welcome ❤️ Glad to be here.1 -
Hey All, I have a question, for the April challenge, am I to log the workouts that I do daily here? I don't have a pedometer at the moment so unable to count steps. Or is there a specific logging format to follow? Especially with regard to logging weight2

@Megan_smartiepants1970 can tell you more about the workouts. She can convert workouts to steps so you can participate in the step challenge.
As for weight use this format:
Username
Weigh in day
PW(previous weight)
CW(current weight)
I will then add the weight to the spreadsheet. I will always mark your weigh in post with an insightful. We know then that your weight has been entered.Welcome to the team!3 -

I really have to get the timings down on my walks. Yesterday, I did my cleaning before exercise and my leg pain was terrible trying to do it all in the afternoon. I need to do one as soon as I wake up before coffee. Then another before lunch. You are killing it with those steps!
@Tazaria87
It’s good to drink lots of water. Maybe you were slightly dehydrated.
@rlaskey2
Congrats on the loss! The skinny taste meal plan seems to work really good for you.
@Bluetail6
Congrats on reaching a normal weight for your height. You will be at goal weight before you know it.
@red1185
If you are weighing, measuring, tracking and staying with in you calories you should be fine. With that being said there are other factors that can affect weight loss such as TOM or sodium intake.
@iradi8
You have the right attitude about the gain. You know what caused it and are back to your normal eating habits.

I decided to do my cleaning and have lunch before exercising. I was getting ready to leave when one of my specialists called and I had a telephone appointment. Totally forgot to write it in my calendar. 🤷♀️ Anyways, it was after 2 that I got to start. I need to do exercise early from now on so I can compensate for my leg. I biked for 17 minutes and walked for 15 minutes. I tried the elliptical but I didn’t like it. I only did 2 minutes. I will keep trying it and see if it clicks. I will just walk and do weights today. My ear has been bothering me for a few days and I think it is an infection. I get wobbly when my ear is like this. I have a doctors appointment later today and it’s in my calendar this time. 😁 Anyway, my goals are shaping up for the week and I think I can hit all my weekly goals.
Thanks to @Piqueaboo @lelbarou @888Angie888 @Megan_smartiepants1970 @Tazaria87 @TheresaM787 for the great lunch ideas. I will be using some of these when I meal plan tomorrow.
Happy Hump Day!4 -

Oh boy! When it rains, it pours. I have two job interviews lined up for next week and two more applications that I sent for jobs I would really like. One interview next week is for a lower level which is the same level as my night class. Taking this class on would be easy! However, it could be not very challenging. Also, the manager does not seem-hmmm- awfully friendly. The second interview is for a very advanced class that I was having problems substituting for, but I decided to stick with it and now I have an interview for that. That one is TONS of work, but could be more interesting...and the manager for this job is nice. Then there are two I just applied for that would be great. Hmmm. Well. I can't complain. However, I am confused...LOL🤣🤣🤣 If you have any input then let me know...
I just posted this on the main page, but if anybody has any advice, please let me know.4
