@askewcr Every ounce does count!
@Firefly743 Great loss this week!
@trooworld Nice loss! Especially coming off the couple of weeks of eating out a lot etc. You'll get back in the green very soon!
I have my own cutting machine, a Silhouette Curio - my sister has a Cricut. I prefer the Silhouette software!
@jactop Awww how cute! Funny thing is, my boy actually likes dancing around most of the time - just not with me apparently lol.
You're so right about the sleep, I've been working on that a lot too!
@Cornanda Yay!! Great loss!!
@TeresaW1020 Yeah, throwing a ball around was much more fun for him. And rolling a toy tyre around too.
Good luck on the DDF this month!
@mlhopp93 Sending hugs!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not a lot to report here. Had pizza for dinner last night which saw a jump on the scale this morning thanks to the sodium. I was well over on calories, but not that much that it would cause a significant gain.
This afternoon I will sit down and plan out my meals for the week and hopefully that will get me back on track tomorrow ready to go back to work.
Is anyone else getting excited for the Olympics to start? Here in the Eastern part of Australia we only have a one-hour time difference with Tokyo so it will be great for us to watch things live!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No unplanned sugar

Exercise 5 x weekly
Well, I stayed the same this week which surprised me. I was looking for a good weight loss. I have increased my exercise by riding my bike! It feels great to be back on my bike again and have been able to do that consistently for 30 minutes to an hour a day. I have stayed right on track every day, besides one slightly off day.
I am definitely feeling stronger and feel like I am gaining control of my body again! Another non-scale victory, fitting into a few more tops that I couldn’t get into in a long while!! :-) :-)

@Jactop That's a good realization. Try it out again, maybe it will help. That's great you've already dropped 3 lbs. I would have a hard time working around chocolate, too.
@Cornanda @TheGlwUp Congrats on the losses!
@TeresaW1020 I had company for TWO WEEKS! I went back to work last Monday.
Keep working hard!!!
@TwistedSassette Thank you! I will! Oh that's right, I forgot you had the Silhouette. I needed a cake topper for a friend's birthday next weekend and I stupidly bought it on Etsy instead of figuring out how to make it. I could have so easily made it! I had pizza for dinner last night, too. I won't dare get on the scale this morning.
@laurelfit57 What a great NSV, congrats! Woot woot!
Hi all. I'm going for coffee with a friend in a couple of hours. I strategically picked a coffee shop by the boxing gym so I can stop in the gym before or after. I just want to see what it's like and get my questions answered.

PW 140.6lbs (63.8kg)
CW 138lbs (62.8kg)
LTD about 37lbs (16.8 kg)
GOAL weight 121lbs (55kg)
Thanks for all the kind words about challenging my snacking. I found one perfect solution this past week...
I've been unwell after for over 10 days but finally getting into recovery. I totally stopped snacking.
Apologies no update weigh in last Sunday.
Ate little as no appetite and funny enough, no desire to have chocolate or anything sweet.
The only urge I did have, I had comforting custard warm instead.
Being drinking fruit juice to upkeep calories when not eating with being unwell. Only drunk tea at breakfast and no coffee for a week.
Bumper harvest of pototoes and peas at my allotment. Enjoyed pea and potatoe soup and a batch of chilli pototoe salad. All high carb so need to portion control.
Here's for a better week ahead everyone.
GOALS:
1. Drink tea only at breakfast
2. Go to sleep listening to podcast than grabbing a sugary hit.
Smiles🥰

@TheGlwUp Congrats on your loss this week!
@19shmoo69 Hang in there!
@laurelfit57 Wow - great, consistent effort! That really is the key and it's great you're seeing results!
@trooworld The cake toppers are a little time consuming, but worth the effort to make. I bought one once and thought the same thing - why did I buy this when I could have made it! I hope you don't have as much water retention as me after your pizza! Let us know how the visit to the boxing gym went.
@apple852hk Sorry to hear you've been unwell. Warm custard is lovely!
@renaegry Nice loss! I hope you had some fun at the lake!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I had a nice, relaxed weekend at home. Yesterday my sister and I walked with my son to a nearby park, where we played with a ball, played on the swings and had a go on the flying fox. There is a very unflattering video of me on the flying fox that I will not share, lol. But it was loads of fun. The toddler must have had fun too, after his afternoon nap he kept asking to go for a walk! So I think I will need to take him for a walk more often, even if we can't go to the park after work as it's a bit late.
I can't remember if I mentioned that I am going to start taking the toddler to a kinder gym class once a week. Apparently the parents don't go in the studio with the kids and the class goes for an hour so I'm hoping that if he likes it, I can go to the gym that's just around the corner for a while each week! I just have to see how he goes this first time as he's never away from me or his dad so there may be some separation issues - I'll sit in the lobby and read a book just in case but if all goes well then from next week I can get some gym time in while he's occupied!
I got myself back on track yesterday. Ended up a little bit over on calories but still with a good deficit, was only over because my blood sugar dropped too low mid-afternoon and I had to eat something to bring it back up. Otherwise I would have been right on track! I spent some time in the evening planning and pre-logging my daytime meals for the week, so I'm hoping to stay on track this week!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

@apple852hk Congrats on the loss! I'm sorry you were sick. I hope you feel better now. Have a good week!
@renaegry Did you have fun? Congrats on the loss.
@TwistedSassette I'm still avoiding the scale lol. I think I will avoid it until Saturday's weigh-in. I stopped in the boxing gym...more on that below! I'm glad you had fun with your sister and the toddler. That's a great idea to go to the gym while the toddler has his playtime! I do my best pre-logging my meals, it really helps!
@19shmoo69 @davidji82 @TwistedSassette Congrats on making it on the leaderboard! Way to go!
Hi all. I did it! I stopped into the boxing gym and I asked a cr@p ton of questions all patiently answered by one of the trainers. I saw a woman my size and I talked to a woman my age and by the end of it all, I felt so comfortable that I went home and signed up for a month! I also registered for 3 classes, next Sunday, the following Tuesday, and the following Thursday. I had to dig my old boxing gloves out, here is a picture of them. I had a good dinner last night and pretty much stayed on plan all day.

Good Morning!
I had a super day yesterday. Cleaned house and cooked. We had fresh collard greens, chicken, potato salad, and baked ribs. I didn't overindulge.
Another niece and her friend visited for a long time. I haven't seen this one in a while so it was a great visit. I do plan to walk today even though it's a rainy day in Georgia. Blessings to you all. Let's go get it!!!

Hi, Happy Monday- had a reasonable weekend, just caught up on all the posts! Surprise! My parents are coming to visit this week- from Wisconsin. They pulled it all together a week ago. They will just be here for a long weekend, but that means more eating out than usual most likely. I am trying to hit the exercise hard before they arrive, and will work on portions/good choices while they are here.
I've not seen them in 18 months due to Covid, so it's going to be nice to have time together!

@Cornanda Enjoy time with your family!
@trooworld I'm so happy for you, I can't wait to hear how you like your first class!
@askewcr So glad you had the chance to see your niece and her friend.
@TwistedSassette The kinder gym class sounds cool and that gives you a chance to hit the gym, win win!
@apple852hk What kind of tea do you drink? I love tea, I drink herbal teas all day, I made Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer with a huge handful of pineapple sage and spearmint and ginger, I'm scared to try it! I just started a batch of kombucha which is basically fermented black sweet tea, I used mango black tea from Trader Joe's. I just tried one that was Chai and it was so good! I'll have to try that next time.
Hi everyone! Had a busy weekend, I keep having female issues which I'm on medication for and it's not helping. I had plans I couldn't flake on so I still went but I'm having a real rough time. I helped a community organization with weeding Sat morning then went to a psychic fair and casino with my friend. I was ready to stay in bed Sunday and my family decided to have a BBQ because they're leaving soon to visit family in WA and my Dad and I can't go because my aunt's house has a ton of stairs. Today's taking it easy but being off Cymbalta has been really hard.2 -
@apple852hk I am so sorry that you have been sick! I hope you start feeling better very soon.
@TwistedSassette That is great that your little guy will take his gym class and you will be able to take yours. I know you are nervous for him and he will surely have a few issues with being away from you and dad, but just keep up the encouragement and help him see that he is a big boy who can do fun things with you. My fingers are crossed!!
@trooworld Wahoooo on joining the boxing classes! You are going to have to much fun. Push yourself as hard as you can and back off when you need to. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
@krea4 Nice job on staying on track this month! Just yesterday, I told myself that I better pick up the pace so I can fit into my fall clothes that I bought on sale over the summer.
@askewcr Glad that you had a nice visit with your niece and her friend. Your dinner sounds so yummy! Way to go in not overindulging in such good food.
@Cornanda That is wonderful that your parents are coming for a visit! Enjoy your time with them and whatever happens on the scale can be managed when they leave. But getting in some extra workouts and watching your portion sizes is a great plan.
@Katmary71 So sorry that you are having lady problems. I hope that gets better soon! Will your dad be left alone at home? Your weekend sounds fun but difficult with the weeding. I don’t know how you do it!
Hi Team! Sorry for not posting yesterday but it was a long day. After church and lunch, hubby and I drove an hour to meet up with my staff and their spouses at a place called Top Golf. If you don’t know what it is, it’s a fun place where you hit these electronic golf balls off a high platform into an enormous green space that has different size holes that you try to get your ball into. I am NOT very good and came in last place every time.
Afterwards, hubby and I decided to splurge and have pizza at one of our favorite places called Your Pie. I’m done with the carbs and really plan to get my act together! Tomorrow, I have a physical. It’s the first one since I had pneumonia over four years ago. Hubby is making me go! 
Goal Weight Challenge: EYE ON THE PRIZE!
Data Driven Fasting challenge Received my trigger today at lunch. It’s set at 88 and will start to steadily drop. Hunger training has begun!!
Tracked calories/macrosI pre-tracked my two meals and stayed under my calories and hit my macros.
No Sugar No sugar
Workout (includes church cleaning): 6 Weeks of the Work…by accident!!
I thought it was 4 weeks of the prep and was half way through it and dying when I finally realized what I had done.

Congrats all on second place!!
@trooworld That is awesome news about the boxing gym!! I hope you really enjoy it!
@krea4 Great loss this week!
@askewcr Good on you for not overindulging on the dinner, it sounds delicious!
@Cornanda Wow that's amazing news about your parents coming to visit!
@Katmary71 Ooooh tell us about the psychic fair and casino visit! That sounds fun! Sorry that you couldn't have your sleep in on Sunday, sounds like you really needed a rest.
@TeresaW1020 Thank you for the kind words of encouragement! I actually think (hope) that he will be fine. It's at a dance studio where he goes for playgroups once a week, so he's familiar with the environment. And the lady who runs it is a former colleague of mine who has a little girl only two weeks older than my son, so I'm sure she will be all over it. He's a pretty independent kid most of the time and loves playing with other kids so I'm hoping one of the slightly older kids will take him under their wing and he'll be fine!
Top Golf sounds like a lot of fun!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Not much to report here! I had a good day yesterday, stayed under my calories and did a short step class video on YouTube which was kind of fun and definitely worked up a sweat. It was only 25 minutes as I wasn't sure if I could do a longer class, but I handled it ok so I think I will try a longer one next time.
I have decided to stop doing the Body Boss program. I was kind of enjoying it, but I don't like having a set schedule for what I'm meant to do. Like on Wednesday I might feel like a nice yoga session, but first I have to get through a HIIT session and it makes me procrastinate on it and end up doing neither. I guess I can chalk this up to a lesson learned about myself - I will rebel against a program!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi all! Checking in. So I mentioned with my Friday weigh in that my weight loss has slowed - most likely due to my laziness. I haven't lifted in 2 weeks. Physical therapy is doing a number on me and some days my back hurts so bad. PT has requested that I get an x-ray to rule out any compression fractures.... And if nothing on that then they will request the MRI. FINALLY! But... That was Wednesday they sent it to my doctor, and surprise surprise, no response yet🙄. So I'm working on not being lazy with the workouts. My back has been messed up thru this whole losing process and I only recently started using it as an excuse. Done with that nonsense. I'm still doing the squat challenge. Today was day 17 and I had to do 93 squats (ugh). I also managed to talk my sister into coming over and lifting with me 3 days a week. That will definitely help get me back into it. She's never lifted, so I started over on the Stronglifts 5x5 with her so we can be doing the same thing and still be giving my back a bit of a break with the lower weights. Today was squat, bench, and row and I took a short walk afterwards. Feeling pretty good, I love lifting. Not sure how I got so unmotivated, but ready to get back to it!2
