@jessicakrall8 @dillyg08 @izzyred9400 Congrats on placing top 3!!2 -
Monday, October 18
- Exercise: gym
- Knee push-ups: no
- Steps: 11.493 / 8.500
Good morning team. Monday was not the best. I went to the doctor in the morning. He wants to test my sleep, so I have to pick up a thingy next week and return it the next day. I don't expect this will show anything out of the ordinary. With my fitbit I can already see pretty well how my sleep is. I will make a new appointment with the doctor to discuss the sleep test and to talk about what to do after. My gym session was fine. My food was fine until I had all my food eaten by 14:00 already. Which means I had too much day left. Instead of being sensible and eating more 'normal' food, I ordered pizza in a weak moment. I didn't eat as much as I normally would, because I already had a full eating day in my stomach, but it was still a massive failure. It actually didn't show too badly on the scale, so I will just shrug it off and move on. I refuse to be in the red on Saturday!
Happy Tuesday everyone

Morning all,I didn't have a good day yesterday.I was supposed to go out walking with a friend.When she called for me I couldn't go as I couldn't find my house keys !! So I was stuck in all day & gave into my unhealthy snack cravings in the evening as my husband went out.He caught me snacking too lol.So hopefully I won't do it again & get back on it.So cross with myself.
Got to get some more keys cut today no idea where I've left them 🤯3 -
Hope everyone has an amazing Tuesday...I'm just hoping work is peaceful today...my boss has a tendency to talk "football" for hours on end, a subject which I couldn't care less about...so it annoys me. Even with my headset on, I can still hear the droning on about it...VERY ANNOYING! But, what can I do?! I digress...
Just packed a nutritious lunch and I'm gonna carry on...thank God for jazz music and ear pods!

Weigh-in Day - Monday
PW - 177.3
CW - 177.7
While not exactly happy about this week’s weigh-in, I actually hit a rather larger number on the scale mid-week and managed to get myself back under control. Feeling more in control than I have in a long time. So I’m seeing this as a win.3 -
Happy Tuesday everyone! @Pupowl - I hope you have a better day today! @izzyred9400 - don't beat yourself up! Today will be a better day!! @jessicakrall8 - I wish I worked at your office - I LOVE football (and all other sports) and no one I work with cares - maybe we could swap! How do you feel about Nebraska and working at an advertising agency???
Catching up on my steps - my weekends are full of sports watching so I need to do better with my steps!

@pupowl I had the same test done. I was told that the apparatus measures how you breathe. I think it can sense if you stop breathing while you sleep. In my case, it was able to tell that I had sleep apnea. Now my sleep is better because I wear a cpap machine.
Oh no, I know what you mean by eating too early and having too much day left. When that happens, I get hungry and eat more later on even though I've already eaten all my meals. At least you controlled it a bit and didn't eat as much. *HUGS*

@izzyred9400 *HUGS* I hope you found your keys! I've done that before. I finally found my keys at the bottom of a tote bag because I didn't empty it properly when I got home from a shopping trip.

@jessicakrall8 Thanks! I hope your Tuesday goes well too. I'm also not one for talking sports. I might watch some games of various sports, but am not so into it that I talk about them. Plus, good on you for packing a good lunch!1 -

Hi hope everyone is doing well. I love popping on and seeing all the updates and check ins.
@jessicakrall8 I’d also take your workplace. I like NFL and try to catch a game or two every week. Going to a Raiders game was a highlight of our trip to Vegas. I can see how it would be draining if it’s not your thing though. That’s me when people are talking non stop about the newest movie. I just don’t watch many.
I’ve been really focusing on self reflection lately. With my middle child away for treatment I feel like I’m finally not living in survival mode. It’s been survival mode most of the time since I left my EX in 2006. There have been many positive things that have happened. There have also been a lot of negative, just one after another after another.
I realize I haven’t let myself fully process all the things that have happened, I find myself feeling sad a lot over the past month as I look back and allow myself to really acknowledge and feel what’s happened.
The past couple days have been good and I feel a weight lifting. I’m trying hard to acknowledge and accept the hard and difficult. For those in the therapy world, I’m working on radical acceptance.4 -
ugh, I feel like absolute garbage right now. Headache, sore, swollen throat, chilled, and my skin hurts. I must have caught something going around the school. Our school isnt requiring masks this year, so a lot more germs spreading around. It isnt covid at least, I get tested for that 3+ times a week.3

Hey @GSAllumbaugh Not sure how I'd do with Nebraska weather...used to live in MinneSNOWta (no typo) and hated the "true four seasons" UGH...I was not meant to deal with cold, snow and lots of wind...I like my southern sun and humidity! Advertising sounds exciting though...I'm in the IT department of an international shipping company...I handle Logistics systems issues as well as EDI transactions (electronic data) issues. LOVE IT! Just don't care for the politics, but as you know, that's in any office, to some extent. I'm hoping that someday I'll be able to work 100% from home...
Please clarify your steps for Sunday, 10/17 before I record it incorrectly...thanks!!

Well today was a weird one...quite busy all day, so it went by fairly quickly...woke up early...got up and did a few things around the house, even had time to update the spreadsheets before I left for the office...packed a nice lunch, played with the kitty...took a book to read during my lunch hour...awesome, right?! NOT! Got to work and since I missed bosses day last week due to several people being out of office, today became the day...we always buy breakfast for him...luckily I got to coordinate, so I talked everyone OUT of fast food (gold star number one)...then, I chose IHOP so that it accommodated one vegetarian and gave lots of options...cancelled my lunch and ate what I ordered for breakfast as my lunch. I got a large omelet with lots of veggies...it was delicious, filling and I enjoyed it. (gold star number two)...skipped my lunch and saved it for tomorrow (gold star number three)...came home and ate a loaded baked potato as my dinner and stayed under my calories for the day (gold star number four!)
All things considered, even though I will likely not meet my step goal for the day, it was a good outcome.
How was your Tuesday?!

Hi Cassandra,
I’m glad you’re taking some time to contemplate things and process your emotions. It’s amazing what the stress of keeping it all bottled up does to your mind and body. Hang in there and know that we’re all here if you ever want to let some of it out in a supportive place.2 -
Steps for Tuesday, Oct 19: 11.970 / 8.500
No proper check in today from me, sorry. Will be back tomorrow. 1 -
What a beautiful cat! Also, what is that board game, it looks interesting！
It's called Targi. It's fairly new to us, but we've really been liking it. You're supposed to be a nomad collecting salt, pepper, and dates and turning them in for other things before the "robber" makes it all the way around the cards on the outside. It looks complicated, but it's not hard to set up and fairly quick to play.
Do you play board games?1 -

This used to happen to me! The last straw was when I couldn't find them right before I was leaving for the airport and had to figure out how to get there at the last minute. This was before Uber and taxis are unreliable where I live so it was very stressful. Since then I rely on my Tile device. I have one on my keys and one in my wallet and I can call them from my phone and vice versa because I misplace my phone a lot, too. As long as you're within a few hundred feet of them it's really good at finding them.
Hope you find your keys soon. I know how frustrating that is!

Yesterday was miserable, I tried to go hope early sick, but my boss wasnt answering the phone, so I was stuck at work, got home and my dog escaped out my window (he is smart and knows how to open it and occasionally likes to sneak out it) I found him and then went home and made dinner, then right to bed I was so freaking sick. Not 100 yet, but I feel so much better today thank goodness as it is my daughters birthday, so we have big plans after school. my diet is on hold today and tomorrow for Birthday fun, and back on track for Friday.7

I'm glad you found your dog. Not something you needed when you're sick.
It's awful that you weren't able to leave early from work too. It sounds like you're on the mend now though. It's tough being under the weather!
Happy birthday to your daughter!1 -

* HUGS* to those that have been through a rough couple of days this week. Keep at it -this too shall pass.
@Arc130 - a special shout-out to you for taking the time to read posts and comment, so nice and thoughtful of you 3 -
I did NOT have a good day today...coworker talked me into eating out at breakfast...I'm so swayable...still ended up doing ok for the day after I retooled my plan. Work was hectic and non-stop. Had to pick up my grocery order after work and had purchased baked chicken and my side was going to be stove top stuffing, which I adore and had looked forward to all day...wouldn't you know they were out of the twin packs, but did they substitute the single packages...NOOooooo! They gave me nothing. I was so pissed that I nearly went through a drive through, but I thought about it and did not...had already had one treat today with the sausage on english muffin this morning, so I ate a baked chicken breast and a small baked chicken wing and some steamed mixed vegetables. I'm under on my calories for the day, so it worked out ok.
Still...why can't the simple stuff go right?!! UGH! Some days are just painful...WHEW! I'm glad this week is half over and next week I'm on vacation. I plan on walking, reading and relaxing...
