Yes x 3
Looking for the positives in a crappy teaching day and struggling to find them. Today took all my coping strategies to not go for the snack box but I did it and went for a nice cup of tea instead. I think that is the positive.
So ready for this school year to be over!10 -

Turned myself into a guinea pig and entered a potentially year-long COVID vaccine trial. First shot was this afternoon. Started the day off with weights then ended it with stretching.

No winners circle for me this month. I’m gonna kick booty in May.
Also, tonight in class I was getting winded using a 35lb kettlebell for split squats and I started thinking - I’ve lost almost two of them at this point. No wonder I was tired and sore all the time. 🤦🏻♀️
…Yeah, let’s be honest I’m still tired and sore all the time 😂🤣7 -
No exercise today, but ate well and logged. Still pretty tired...
Back to the doctor tomorrow, maybe we can figure this out.8 -
Today was difficult but I’m glad it’s over. Morning run and work were both good but I’m the evening I had to break up with the man. I know a bunch of you followed the start of my relationship with delight so here’s the update. He is a nice guy but despite that, I’m just not in love with him after three months. I know he has stronger feelings for me but I can’t stay in this just for him. There are a couple of other aspects that played a role in my decision and I have prayed about it and could never find peace in staying with him. He took it reasonably well but I know it hurt him and I’m sad about that. Looking forward to getting back to my own routines that didn’t work with him around, so despite a week away, May should be a really good month.10

Lots of walking and getting ready activity, plus active stretching; walking and working with a happy horse. Today, all I had to do was point him up the horse trailer ramp and he walked on without being led.

I had a total meltdown yesterday and I can’t figure what triggered it. I’ve been eating over cals since vacation but within a maintenance range and not gaining weight, so I haven’t been concerned. But yesterday I went nuts. Chips, sweets, repeat. I didn’t even track it all, just completely abandoned everything. I’m not panicking or beating myself up, but I do know I need to get a handle on it before it becomes a problem. There were no stressors, nothing emotional, nothing unusual. I wish I could identify what caused it to help me avoid a repeat. It’s been a couple months since I’ve had that kind of meltdown.
@biketheworld I’m sorry to hear this. Always odd when we can think of no reason...
It took me a couple of years to figure out excess SALT stimulates my appetite!! I’d known for a long time sugar did, but salt was a surprise. (Part of it was some foods have a ton of salt - and I never knew. The latest surprise: sourdough bread & Campbell's chicken noodle soup (bought at beginning of covid to stock up.) I had that today to finish off... shocking really. I know I need to keep the water going & be Really Careful tomorrow. Also salty foods trigger my sweet tooth...in case that helps.
Americans eat an avg of 3,400 mg salt per day.
Recommendation is < 2,300
Older folks < 1,500
2018 avg 1,444mg
2019 avg 2.022
2020 avg 1,840
2021... 1,803
I only have one kidney so I’m careful. Blood pressure is great NOW. I was in lisinopril when I was heavy & eating out all the time.
“The Past is passed.”
I hope something here helps someone.

Yes, yes and yes
Walking and stretching
@MadisonMolly2017 That is interesting about salt being a trigger. I am going to pay attention to this. I don't eat a lot of processed foods but I know I avoid processed soups because I find myself wanting to eat like crazy a couple of hours later. I always thought soup was supposed to fill me up but instead I found just the opposite when I eat soup out of a can.
@RangerRickL I am not in the winners group but I still think April went fairly well. While not perfect, it has been good practice for maintenance.4 -
Yes, yes and yes

@znaoiec
Yes, and I always craved dessert after Chinese or Mexican (SALT!)
I’ve wondered if the obesity epidemic is a sugar & salt epidemic. Fat at least fills me up!1 -

I've listened to episode #479 of the Half Size Me Podcasts twice now..... there's just so much good stuff in there!
(or maybe I'm just a little slow!!). Episode #475 is a really good one as well.
@SModa61 LOL about your nightmare! What a fright!
@SummerSkier I love your new profile pic!!
@Dory_42 Sorry things didn't work out with your man. I've certainly missed you and your fantastic stories! {{{HUGS}}}.
I have used 3 passes this month, so as long as I don't do something stupid in the next few days.... no, let me change that......... I EXPECT to be in the Winner's Circle this month!!
