    @deepwoodslady Hooing today finds you in a better place.i do feel for you trying to survive a remodel. I did my kitchen and all 3 baths right before the pandemic hit. I had a great crew and they hit the schedule on the nose. Even so, it was very stressful and very difficult to try to eat in a healthy way. I was very happy with the results though and hope you will be too.

    4/30 weight: 188.0
    May goal: end the month lighter than I started

    Lessons learned in April:
    - processed carbs (including rice and oats, not just gluten items) don't work for me
    - need to consistently drink more water
    - need to find ways to be more active throughout the day
    - be mindful during the weekend!
    - daily weigh-ins and the accountability of this group definitely help me stay on track!

    4/30 F - 188.0
    5/1 S - 189.4 why??? beats me. no gluten or grains yesterday.

    Run plan for the week: run 13m, walk 2m, 3 rounds
    5/2 S - (run) 191.8 ok so I know why, gluten'd myself yesterday. Working today, run, and take the dogs on a walk.
    5/3 M - 188.8 rain today so will walk on the treadmill
    5/4 T - (run) 189.4 running today. The run went really well Sunday so am looking forward to it.
    I also agree that the weather can help or hurt my desire to be outside moving. The dogs don't seem to understand that concept ;-)
    5/5 W - (zumba) 190.4 Yesterday's run went well, discovered that a slight uptick in speed helped...who knew... Zumba today and hoping for a walk as well. Rice last night. I really hate the water fluctuations, so frustrating. Need to fully commit to no processed carbs.
    5/6 T - (run) 190.2 cold and rainy today, that helps nothing at all. But today I'm going to work, and then run.
    5/7 F - 189.2 last night's run didn't go so well, tired and leg cramps. I'm thinking 3 workouts in a row makes the 3rd suffer so I'm going to change my schedule.
    5/8 S - forgot to weigh

    Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
    5/9 S - (run) 187.8 not sure how I forgot to weigh yesterday, but I did lol. Lots of rain today, which makes my old leg/foot breaks ache. Still planning on a treadmill run this afternoon but it may not go well. Guess I'll find out though! Happy Mother's Day!!
    5/10 M - 191.0 yep, gluten yesterday. Yesterday's run went well but had bad leg cramps on the last round. Will keep at it.
    5/11 T - (run) 190.4 running today, would love to get the dogs out for a walk at lunch too if weather cooperates. Baked a turkey last night (yes I know, it's not a holiday of any description, but it's cheap meat!) so turkey for dinner again, probably all weak
    5/12 W - (zumba) 192.0 gotta drink a ton of water today. My run turned into a walk yesterday, and no dog walk.
    5/13 T -
    5/14 F -
    5/15 S - (run)

    Run plan for the week: run 14m, walk 1m, 3 rounds
    5/16 S -
    5/17 M - (run)
    5/18 T -
    5/19 W - (zumba)
    5/20 T - (run)

    You are certainly not invisible. I cannot begin to relate to your situation but I can offer you a high-five of encouragement. <3

    As an alternative, I can think of moving your arms and stepping in place when you can't go anywhere.

    January starting weight: 152.2
    February starting weight: 150.4
    March starting weight: 149
    March goal: 147 - same as February's;)
    April starting weight: 150
    May 149.2
    Ultimate goal: 143

    I'm back. Haven't logged into the app or this wonderful accountability board for a month. I just seem to keep in the same weight range (148-150is). But at least I haven't gone much above that. I need to log my food every day and post my weight here. I'd really like to lose that last 5 or so pounds!

    May 12 - 149.2
    May 13 - 150.2 - Not surprised. Eating has been off lately, the gain just caught up today.

    Week 2:
    Starting Weight - 164.7

    May 8 - 164
    May 9 - 163.4
    May 10 - 163.4
    May 11 - 163.4
    May 22 - 165.
    May 13 - 163.6

    Staying on plan, just minimal results so far. BUT ... I do feel better, have more energy, and fewer aches and pains.

    Going out of town for 2 nights ... first time since January of last year! Going to a horse show to cheer friends on (my horse is rehabbing from an injury, so I am not riding). Am packing breakfasts, lunches and snacks for the two days, so should be able to hold the course.
