Considering how bad this week has been, that's ok.
Husband and I had a tearful Feelings Talk early in the week, and then he was rejected from grad school again, and I got sent into WFH again because of how bad Covid is again.
So. What I'm saying is we ordered cake through Skip The Dishes on multiple nights and other snacks and I kind of... don't care. I still really want to lose 20 more pounds but I also really don't feel like I care about anything.
I've been trying to keep my spirits up but its such a struggle.6 -

@PlaneMonkey Wow!!! I love your progress photos. You have done an amazing job!! You should be so proud of yourself. You look fabulous. Well, done.
@KellyBgetsfit HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY!!!! Sorry you weren't feeling great, but you can celebrate all month.
This week was kind of a blah week. I didn't get my exercise like I wanted (I did do three days of short pilates - 11-13minutes each). My food was meh. Way too many mini donuts early in the week and one take out dinner that was nice, but doesn't feel good afterwards. My body has gotten use to. my OWN cooking. I don't think I hit my 9k goal one day this week. @gak71 You had. me beat by Friday this week.
This coming week is going to be busy. Dr. appts., workers on house, and a trip with my whole family to my son's house at the beach Friday - Monday. But, I need to reign myself in. Drink plenty of water, take walks and get those 9k steps. Friends on fitbit, look for a challenge invite. Let me know if you don't get it. If you are new and have a fitbit, let me know your email and I'll add you.
Don't forget to get those steps in. Looking for Friday and Saturday for @Steph1498, @YinxFed (whole week) and @mbakhtiaruz (Mon-Sat).
Make your day great!!
@micki48 I overdid it this week so I’m taking today as a rest day. I’d like to average 8k per day but I think I may need a couple days per week to let my ankles, knees, and hips rest.2 -
Ohh @Terytha, hope things get better for you soon. Sending long distance hugs. (and wishing there was skip the dishes cake in my area!)
Covid has been such a hurdle3 -

Just wanting to share a small achievement, my partner and I decided to quit any sort of restaurant food (minus a couple exceptions) for the month of April to help with our wallets and waistlines. I can proudly say we made it through our first weekend (and almost at 7 days)! I found this cool app that records streaks for quitting stuff which is also pretty useful!

If I don’t have a loss next week, I may take another break. I don’t have the competitive spirit now. 🙄4 -
Greetings team!
We did pretty well this past week - came in #3 - but not as great as week 1. Let's not fall into a week 3 slump if possible - watch it on those cakes and follow @AshenMoon in cutting back on something that is not helping if you can. This wave, too, shall pass @Terytha - and giving up on your goals and great progress won't help it pass faster. Hang in there
I have been remiss in reminders - so here's a quick one for the remaining Sunday folks, and all the Monday people:

Monday morning - my week in the office - we got word we'll all be back in June 1st and I'm actually glad - it think it will aid in my eating. You're right @jugar, 'obsessively' is not the way to go, but ...I DID prelog last night before sleep and I'll work off that menu today. I will also try to get going on the walking & 1/2 running again - I dropped that cold turkey in January after singing the praises of my evening walks.
@PlaneMonkey Great to see your progress photos - what a good feeling I bet!!
Busy busy weekend of garden stuff and also did a BJ's run and am stocked up on lots of veg and healthy options.
Monday, here we go!

Feeling like I can conquer anything today ! Lets hope it lasts ! Alarm didn't go off this morning so I am running a bit behind, but I did get 20 min video in. Should be a busy day at work, but Im planning to get my walk in regardless...
Have a great day everyone !5 -
Happy Monday. I ate like crap all weekend and the scale agrees. 😥 I snoozer by alarm for 10 minutes, crawled out of bad, and heard the baby crying. Today was supposed to be first workout since getting sick. We have a busy week with baseball and volleyball so I won't be able to do anything after work either. I am going to give my eating 100% and hope the scale was just carb bloat.
@terytha sometimes you gotta eat cake. I am sorry for Covid anxiety. I truly believe exercise is the best thing you can do for anxiety. Can you go for a walk or do some jumping jacks?
@gidgitgoescrazy woo-hoo! Way to rock your Monday!
@ashenmoon I love habit trackers! Cuttig back on eating out has so many benefits. Way to go!3 -

Give your eating 100% - yesss! After stress, surviving a family bug, having millions of things to do, the #1 thing to do is to get the eating fixed up. I have also had a run of overly carbaceous days lately, so today will be the one perfect day for food. Putting one of those under your belt usually provides enough inspiration to keep going, and when there is not enough time for exercise, everyone needs that! We're with you!3 -

Today is an anxiety day. It's super windy out and there's a telephone pole in my front yard we have discovered is rotted straight through. It's wobbling in the wind with the only thing holding it upright being the wires themselves and the weight of the pole on its broken base. I've called it in to the phone company but I'm pacing the house to look out the window and watch it sway. If it let's go, it will fall on the neighbour's roof, not mine but the bottom could kick out and damage my vehicles and the wires will strike my roof. It's just phone wires, not electricity, but they're beefy. The paperwork of an insurance claim is not something I'd like to add to my plate at the moment.
So needless to say I keep finding myself walking towards the kitchen... (cause that's the window facing the pole, right?) Gotta resist. Food won't make the wind stop howling....

Good week...I am feeling motivated and just got back into keto so expecting a lot of water weight to go this week. I am also going to start taking daily walks very seriously6 -
Morning all, a new week is upon up.
@KellyBgetsfit happy belated 40th, hope you and the family feel much better this week
@PlaneMonkey hope everything turns out okay... sounds scary
@eggfreak We might be going back in June as well - just waiting to hear. In some ways I think the structure of being in the office will make certain aspects easier too, but for me the re-introduction of post-COVID social pressures that I've been avoiding will be interesting to navigate.
I went on two long walks yesterday and did yoga and I'm feeling a bit tired, so will keep my activity simple today. I have my first round of golf of the season coming up this Saturday and intend to walk the course with my clubs on my back!4 -
Weekends are tough for me! If I could string a few great weekends together I could have a good loss but I struggle with the holidays and birthdays. On the bright side I’m eating significantly less than I used to!4
