Well done!!! The soreness will be gone in a day. We had it too.4

I got vaccinated today!!
My arm hurts a little now, but the needle itself was so tiny I didn't feel anything. Overall I'm about as sore as I'd be after lifting some heavy weights, so not really that bad at all.
I've been advised to abstain from pregnancy for 4 weeks.
That's great - I had the same reaction. My arm felt like I had been doing one-arm deadlifts, rows, and flys for a bit, but it did not last long. I'm looking forward to the second one and to have it all done with. And yeah, bummer about the pregnancy!!! It's your anniversary, after all 3 -
Hey! I’m just stopping in to say hi. Still trying to get rid of this stubborn virus. Sounded like a bullfrog this morning when I woke up then it gets better until the sun goes down. Closer I get to bedtime the more annoying it is. Oh well. It will be gone soon.
Not much accomplished today except dinner. I cooked chicken on the grill with I marinade I made. It was yummy. Tried two new recipes. Also smashed crispy potatoes.
Hopefully I’ll feel up for Pilates in the am. None today.
So glad to see @evangsimmons170 back to join us. It’s been crazy. But hurray for your better health, a new job, and a remarriage on the horizon. Congratulations 🎉4 -

Me too
My arm is fine at the moment - I'm aware I got jabbed but it's not uncomfortable. I did feel the injection but it wasn't painful; deliberately looked away and the nurse did it quickly. I suspect the sore arm/head will kick in later; probably just in time for finishing work. I hope not though as I want to get a walk or run in this evening.
Kirk (the unwell cat) is at the vets awaiting an ultrasound of his bladder. He's urinating well, but the last sample still had blood in it. I want an explanation, but I'm hoping it's not stones again - if it is, this implies it's the really bad kind because he's on specialist food which ought to dissolve the less-bad kind.
I hope you're feeling better soon @micki484 -

I do not trust that number. It was 145.4 on Monday. I did not do anything amazing between Monday and today, so....5 -
Happy Wednesday!
I'm behind on my nagging, so I'll get that out of the way quickly
Wednesday weigh-ins:

I hope you are all as surprised as @KellyBgetsfit !
I am having some weird digestion issues, probably caused by my reckless abandon over last week when I ate many things I usually avoid for good reasons. Reason was definitely not happening
I am sure everything will settle back down soon, but while it's happening it is sure easy to eat less... Today is a perfect day for making the rhubarb pie I still have not made yet! I will not be tempted by it in the slightest. Rhubarb compote or sorbet maybe, but certainly not pie. 
Enjoy the Wednesday!1 -

ooof.
I had a great long weekend for my mental health, and not really that bad for my eating. I spent hours floating in an inner tube soaking up the vitamin D with a good book. It was paradise. Then Tuesday hit and I went back to work, had a mini emotional meltdown on how did I get to this point in my life, and ate my feelings in the form of enough spaghetti to feed a family of 4.
So here I am.
The pity-party is over and it's time to get back to it. Today will be a good day, I will stay on track with portions. I will not sabotage myself and give up all my hard work and how wonderful I feel in my new size because I can't walk away from the false comfort of food.

@YinxFed - you’re looking great in your new shirt!
@ellz_runs - glad to have you back!
@terytha it’s so fun to go through your closet and get rid of things. It feels productive and rewarding!3 -
I'm making crockpot pulled pork for dinner today.
I realized as I was dumping assorted things in that this is what I like about cooking. Look up a recipe, realize you don't have most of the ingredients, randomly replace or remove as needed. Plus add whatever else you like. What I'm actually cooking looks nothing like what I based it off of, ingredients-wise. But it will still taste good.
Today's sauce: ketchup, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, mustard, paprika, liquid smoke. Wish I'd had tomato paste to thicken it but I forgot to buy some. Oh well.
Pork is fun too because you think it'll be terrible for calories and then 50% of it cooks off, leaving you with much more reasonable numbers.3 -
Last Saturday while I was out for a run I got an urgent call that my daughter fell off her skateboard and just wasn’t “acting right”...
Turns out she had a serious concussion and a cracked skull. It’s now five days later and things at our house are almost back to normal, Thankfully! Helmets for life. The
During this time I’ve either fasted for too many hours or eaten without abandon and randomly during these days and tracked absolutely none of it. Id like to say that I’ve figured out my diet and what to eat but when it comes to stressful situations I completely fall apart and just try to get through the situation.8 -

That's so scary! Don't worry about a few days of stress eating - you'll both be feeling better soon, I'm sure. I always found it worse when my kids got hurt than when I did. I'm sure all moms do

I think that's normal! A few days of doing anything you can to survive minute by minute is pretty typical as far as stressed people go and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Most people would fall apart a little bit.
I'm really glad your daughter seems to be doing better.5 -
Oh @Steph1498 I can totally relate. It’s all you can do to deal with the situation at hand. Eating under stress or duress still gets me too. What a scary call to get. I’ve been on that end too. My son broke both his elbow one skateboarding and one snowboarding. And a concussion at a trampoline park that was caught on video and made me nauseous watching it. So so glad your daughter is feeling a bit better. Take it slow. With an injury like that it needs some time to heal.
@planemonkey What’s past is past. You’ve got this. It is so hard when we are pleased with where we are even when we are not done losing. Hang in there. It sounds like you listened to your body and did just what you needed.
@Terytha Your BBQ sounds great!! Like you, I use recipes as guides from which to do my own thing.
Spent quite a few hours outside today. First in the garden then with my granddaughter having water fights. It was a scorcher today. We had tacos for dinner. Now I’m listening to the noisy birds as I sit on my screened porch. My mat is out but no Pilates done yet today.
My son and daughter have submitted 6 and 2 applications respectively today. Praying something good turns up fast. My husband half jokes that we will add a big addition so they can all live here. 🤪
I am finding logging on Fitbit to be more work since I am not used to it. So back to MFP. I need to get myself back in a losing mindset. However, my birthday is coming up on the 8th and I will have cake. I know it. I’ll go get it myself if I have to. Strawberry creme. Mmmmm. Then that’s it. The following week I have to have a biopsy on my tongue. I have what looks like a wart on the side, but it’s new so my dentist will remove it. I have to admit, I’m a bit nervous. He told me it will hurt. I want to call back and ask how often he does this? I may want someone with more experience. Such a baby, I know.

@micki48
The cake sounds amazing, but the tongue thing might put a damper on eating for a couple of days! Everything on the tongue hurts, but luckily, they heal really fast too. You are probably right to check on how experienced your dentist is, though - oral surgery is a specialty and maybe he has it, but maybe he doesn't. Check up on him! I have had several eye surgeries, and I am ridiculously picky about who does them - that is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Make him fill out a job application to be allowed to work on your tongue!
I hope your kids have luck with their applications, too - or you'll have to put them on the building crew. Get on that mat, now - pick one of the short bedtime routines 3 -
