I’ve had a good week. I have been very successful with my air fryer. Made some very yummy foods that the whole family enjoyed.
I’ve also been doing well with my workouts and following IF. I only had one day where I didn’t do it and didn’t do a workout but I wasn’t feeling well. Otherwise I stayed strong.
I am working on setting some goals for myself. I really need to drop all the weight if regained. I know I can do it!

You are off to a great start on losing the weight. What are some of the things you made in the air fryer?
Oooh some yummy stuff. I’ve made two kinds of chicken wings ( lemon pepper and paprika ), some bacon wrapped porc tenderloins, a whole roast chicken, steak, some quick easy garlic bread, and some apple chips for the little guy. No regrets on this purchase!!

I'm doing great on the weekdays, but totally lose control on the weekend. The trigger is emotional stress, which leads to cocktails, then snacking. It's a vicious cycle.

Amazon went well. They have this lovely almond milk that I love and have ordered several times. This time the box was crushed. The person I spoke to initially wanted me to send photos. I had them. I had taken photos of pink mail slip that state "damaged", as well as many (8) additional photos. The short of it is that the photos weren't going through to their email. So, I asked to speak with a manager. Finally, when the manager came on... She said, "thanks for being a Prime member, how would you like your refund?" She didn't need the photos!! 😀3 -

This is something that is on my mind too for when I move to 5 days prep service instead of 7. I went down to 5 days before and was good to switch things up at weekend, but it invites potential of habits returning and undoing the days before it, even when trying to stay within calories thinking oh maybe I could have this or that and still potentially lose something, but not always the case.
I'm trying to learn to accept that the numbers on the scales isn't always a reflection as so many factors outside of control could be a reason for a gain or loss, it can be an emotional see-saw at times though.
The 0.8 gain could be a number of things and maybe you haven't went overboard with cocktails and snacks as much as you think with having less than a pound gain. Not trying to diminsh feelings as I also know how disheartening it is having the scales go the opposite way. If you're just restarting your journey this year, there's still another 50 weeks where you can make a difference
Sending best wishes

Just a teaser... An example of the lunch/dinner salads I have been making. Will post my Bingo card later today. 😊
This is a salad I threw together on 1/13. I used what I had in the fridge. All of the ingredients are raw except for the quinoa. Additionally, everything is organic except for the cottage cheese and mushrooms:
1/2 organic quinoa, 158g organic super greens, 100g cottage cheese, 21g organic red onion, 81g crimini mushrooms, 100g pomegranate arils, 43g hummus, 15mL coconut aminos, 98g organic fresh strawberries, 91g navel oranges.
I have always loved creamy dressings. The cottage cheese makes it creamy. The hummus was a last- minute decision. Might not do hummus with cottage cheese... The coconut aminos I use (Dynamic Health), are loaded with potassium, and low in sodium.
The salad is HUGE! It is a protein punch as well as a fiber punch. I had less than half for lunch and the other half+ for dinner and was very satisfied. I did eat more protein with dinner. And, I had calories for snacks!
I know some folks balk at the idea of fruit in a salad... I say, "bring it on..." Except for durian... 😳😁
ETA: Correct some of my typos. Also, to add that I add organic apple-cider vinegar!!🙃

My goal for this week has to been to use one food daily in different way at least 3 times. It has to be something I already have in the house. It has gone well. A by-product has been that it gives me a moment to put a craving on hold. For example, I put dates in another salad I made. Normally, I would put them in yogurt, oatmeal, baked stuff, or cottage cheese. Not bad, just a weird sort of sticky in a salad, a little too weird, lol.
A NSV for this week... We got a ton, I mean ton, of snow today. I shoveled off the deck, so hubs could sleep in.
Since you are all teammates, I want to encourage you (us) all to take this year on with courage and gratitude, no matter what may come.
Three positive things about myself. Do I have to limit it to just 3...? Seriously, just kidding😁. I love to laugh, I'm kind, and I am courageous.
Oops, just now took photo of my finished card!!

1/13 6000
1/14 1280

688. But I got a lot of class prep done! I know. It would have been better to take some walking and moving breaks.
So happy day to all of you!! Walk an extra step or two for me this week for my birthday this coming Friday!!4 -

@sequimtrim
It can take awhile to bounce back after being sick.
@mari_moulin
Congrats on the line and all the squares you completed on the bingo card! You food looks so good. I need to use my air fryer more.
@Gwiz401
Weekends are tough. Can you pinpoint the stressor and try and find away to avoid it.
@rwood566
Love lazy days. We need them on occasion.
@peng123
I am glad your knees allowed you to exercise yesterday. Don’t overdo it and keep the ice to them.
@MeowScout
Stopping the gain is a big part of the battle. Happy birthday week!
@Bluetail6
Full card! You are amazing!
