Those negative thoughts were like a bomb going off. While not sure that have completely dealt with the cause have cheered up by refocusing on goals and taking a look back over the last 2 years. Celebrated my 2 year anniversary today by cleaning out my closets and dresser then donating the clothes, shoes and books.
Could someone please tell me how to start a new thread using an iphone? Haven’t been able to figure it out since MFP updated?
Will resume intentional exercise tomorrow now that the clutter is out of my mind.3 -

I will move you to support! I will check with you before the April Challenge.1 -
I will read all the post tomorrow. I did a quick scan but didn’t read them. I made a good choice at the restaurant. I picked the grilled chicken fajitas. The menu said they were 710 calories. Not sure if I trust that but I didn’t eat it all. Night all!3

I shoveled snow for 30 minutes, moderate yesterday, but have not recorded intentional exercise despite being active cleaning and running errands. Will resume tracking exercise tomorrow since have personal business and negative thoughts taken care of Weather has been weird here as it was 65 degrees Saturday, in the 30s Sunday and had a tornado Sunday night, then snow on Monday which melted today.
Figured out how to post in the Success forum. It is up if anyone cares to read it. Apologize for it being long and rambling as still feel grief for Kevin and kind of lost it while writing.

Sorry I’ve not posted lately.
I weighed myself last Saturday and got kind of discouraged. Plus I’ve had bad headaches lately. I had to go to urgent care today and get a shot of tordol in the butt bc the headache was so bad. I know I can do this but it’s hard. I honestly don’t know if I’m eating enough or too much. Just confused and discouraged.
So @lindamtuck2018 I did weigh myself last Saturday 3/5: 156.8
And @Megan_smartiepants1970
2/27 8,665
2/28 7,682

Good evening everyone.
Check in for 3/8:
Steps - 11655
Calories - about 1850. I think I missed a snack but I can't remember.
Exercise - walk in the afternoon. 4miles in 1 hr 15 min. I needed a lemon and orange for tomorrow's dinner so I walked 2 miles each way. I walked past 5 other grocery stores so I could get in more steps.
On a good note, I got my consult approved for skin removal. I get it March 28.6 -
@lindamtuck2018 I am in Nairobi now, city 14. I don't consider taking a nap as self care so I will be doing it tomorrow.3
-
@Beautyofdreams It sounds like you have been having a tough time - I'm so sorry - it's so impressive that you have been able to regroup and focus on your goals2
-
@rwood566 So impressive that you went to the grocery store that is farther away so you could get those extra steps in! Please tell me more about the skin removal and the process you need to go through to have that done. I'm starting to feel like there's going to be a major tummy tuck in my future...2

I tried our last meal from Hello Fresh last night. It's been so fun cooking their meals. I have about 7 recipe cards that I can fall back on if I'm in the mood to try them again.
Hello Fresh is my favorite so far. Green Chef was cool and Martha Stewarts was HARD (for me at least).
Do any of you have favorite grocery meal box deliveries and which one do you prefer?
The weather maybe bad but you got Blake Shelton. 😂 I love Blake! I have never tried any of the meal services. I did consider hello fresh. I was worried about the serving size. My husband is a big eater. He is a construction worker so I think he burns a ton of calories.2 -

Do you think getting close to goal could be contributing to the thoughts? I think it would be scary having to start a new part of your journey. Congratulations on sticking with your weight loss for 2 years. I will read about it in the success thread later.
Sorry you are not feeling well. Maybe you can eat at maintenance until you are feeling better.Sorry I’ve not posted lately.

That’s dedication to walk to thr supermarket further away to get more steps. Glad you got approved for the surgery. Also, I think a nap is self care. If you are tired, you are listening to your body and having a rest.2 -

Pool was a great temperature yesterday. I was later getting there and I my the pool workout part was pretty vigorous. I decided to jump in the hot tub after and do so stretching. Bad idea. I got really dizzy and felt nauseous. So lesson learned: go earlier or eat before working out if late morning!4 -
