By no means I’m steady through the week, but Thursday morning is the the same place/same time situation 😂. I’ve seen +/-3 while I’m going through a stressful planning; or I’m complicating things in my mind and then try to untangle them in the middle of the night , when my husband sleeps . Oh, well.
Intro: I’m 50yo, married, 2 kids , a cat and a dog, desk job, leave in No VA, and my exercise is on/off.0 -
@davors19 @davidji82 Congrats on the losses!
Hi all. I am doing what I need to do to get those blue dots. I got one yesterday and am hopeful for one today. I have a busy weekend ahead of me so I am not sure how often I will check in. Tomorrow, I have to get groceries and then go to an all-day music festival. Sunday, we are celebrating Mother's Day with my MIL and our family. Have a great day!

I am a bit surprised to see my weight stayed the same. If I had a digital scale, I am sure there would have been a small weight gain. I didn't control my eating this week as well as I should have, but then again, I didn't eat as poorly as I have in the past. My goal for this week is to restart the 21 Day Fix routine and complete it. I have restarted it so many times... I get 1 or 2 weeks in and then something happens, and I miss a day, or two, or three
@trooworld What are the blue dots you talk about? Is there a prize when you collect a certain number? Reminds me of my son's reward chart, and I am wondering if a reward chart would help me stay on track... I doubt it. I just need more self-control.

Greetings All!
Hope your day is going wonderfully! Happy Friday! Cloudy day today but it's alright. Let's get out there and make it count. Be present today in all that you do. I've been to the gym this morning and am about to do some cleaning downstairs. Let's go get it!
Are you ready?

@trooworld I just made up Thrash Thursday and Funky Friday to make my workouts more exciting at the end of the week, haven't figured out the other days yet! I bought the tahini for hummus, I don't know much about it but definitely like it! Sounds like you still did good on eating even if you didn't get the dot. Have a great weekend!
@GabiV125 I think sometimes we make things too complicated, there were times I'd wake up in the middle of the night upset I forgot to log something, better sleep is more important than being super regimented! Hope you figure things out and your planning falls into place.
@judiasverdes I'm glad your weight stayed the same when you thought there would be a gain, that's wonderful!
@askewcr Sounds like you're hussling away today, gym and cleaning is great exercise!
Hi everyone, happy Friday! So I'd asked my neighbor out and she really didn't seem thrilled so I was getting really nervous she just said yes to be polite, I kind of suspected after losing her husband and COVID she may have been having a hard time being social and turned out that's what it was, she thanked me right away for getting her out of the house then said later she didn't know how to talk to people anymore and used to be so social and asked if I minded if she drank more because she was nervous being out. I posted this on my feed but I was bedridden for 20 years and rarely had to interact with strangers, I was having panic attacks just talking to cashiers and other students at school when I started so I forced myself out each day to get over it so I could relate to that quite a bit. We ate out then hung out at her house, she's a huge bookworm too and sent me home with a bunch of books to read. I'm really happy I did it even though it caused me anxiety, totally worth it which is usually is. Did my workout and got my nephew a gift card for books for his birthday. All my ducks are in a row, have a bunch of healthy food and did my workout, heading into the yard soon.2 -
@Katmary71 I hope everything gets straightened out at the pain clinic for your back. What a wonderful thing you did for your neighbor. If anyone knows what it’s like to be isolated and out of the world it’s you. And you need to never return to that woman so taking a risk as you did is great for you too!
@trooworld Good job on still trying to get your blue dots. I hope you have a great time at the music festival. That sounds like a lot of fun!
@judiasverdes Are you doing the 21 Day Fix eating program or the workout program? I’ve done the workout program a few times. I’m a huge fan of Autumn and her style.
Hi Team! It’s quiet around here. I’ve been busy and cranky. Joe is a bit better but still feeling awful and can’t do much for himself. I somehow managed to screw up my back. Probably from cleaning the porch and moving the heavy planters by myself. My eating hasn’t been that great and I’m definitely in a slump. I bought a bottle of wine, which I plan to consume tonight, and then tomorrow I’m going to regroup and get back to weight loss. I did do a workout this morning and that felt good.

@TeresaW1020 I’m sorry that Joe has a stomach bug, glad he is a bit better. You need to look after yourself❤️ . As you are enjoying that bottle of wine, I say cheers to you 🥂 !
@Katmary71 after being bedridden for 20 years, how very brave and compassionate of you to reach out to your neighbour and follow through. Your strength is inspirational!!
@trooworld i have to say that your “go get it” attitude is admirable!! Enjoy your Mother’s Day celebration
Just a quick check in today. I had a great Thursday and Friday morning woke up with a wicked cold. As my son said to me “ Mom you need to go find your immune system!” You need to go find your immune system“, which is so true! I just had that stomach bug and then two days later got hit with this cold. I am definitely feeling better today than yesterday, but this is ridiculous.3 -

@judiasverdes Staying the same is definitely better than gaining! Congrats on that. Blue dots...I am on WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers) and if I only eat within my points range for the day, I get a blue dot. It's a way for me to track how well I'm sticking to WW. It has nothing to do with this group, sorry for the confusion! I would highly recommend a reward chart. I have one of those and I find it motivating!
@askewcr Great job getting to the gym and I love the positivity!
@Katmary71 Well, I love it! I did eat well. All week, I have. Thank you, you too! I'm glad you got your neighbor out. I can only imagine what that is like to lose a husband and then go through COVID lockdowns by yourself. I'm sure she appreciated it. Sounds like you are doing great!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! Yes, the music festival should be a lot of fun, we try to go every year to this one. I'm sorry about Joe not feeling well and you hurting your back. Enjoy the wine! You've got this.
@laurelfit57 Aww, thank you! Oh gosh, sorry about the cold. I hope you feel better soon.
@micaroo4 You really are doing great in maintenance! Congrats on being steady.
Hi all. After I drink my coffee I'm off to get my groceries and then later this morning, we go to the blues festival. I can't wait! I hope you have a great weekend.

@laurelfit57 So sorry you have been sick and I hope you recover fully very soon!
@trooworld Have a great day at the festival.
Hi Team! Well, the wine probably wasn’t the best idea since I was in such a terrible mood that I ended up giving in and eating a ton of garbage and waking up feeling like crap! This morning, I did a lot of reading about the Never Binge Again intensive program. It’s pricey and I didn’t want to go down that road because I thought I could do it myself. But you know I don’t think I can. I’ve been a binger for most of my life and these habits aren’t that easy to just stop. I need real help to get to the bottom of why I keep sabotaging myself. The program starts on Monday and I’m excited to throw myself into it and see what happens.

@micaroo4 wow! Good job on maintenance!
@trooworld congrats on the loss! Hope you had a great time at the blues festival today!
@TeresaW1020 thanks Teresa, happily I got better just as quickly as I got sick. If I have more than one drink, my eating goes out the window! I have had to absolutely come to terms with that and over this last year, alcohol has been ALMOST nonexistent in my life. There is no way that I can drink and eat sensibly. Years ago I used to be a smoker and the final time I quit smoking, I had to also give up alcohol for two years. That dang booze gets me into all sorts of trouble🤣🤣🤣. I know that you are going to find the ticket!
@digger61 congrats on the loss!!
I woke up this morning feeling about 90%! I was able to get in a spin class at the gym and then ran out to a small town about 45 minutes away from here. One of my agility trainers had entered a senior dog of hers and I wanted to see how a real pro did it. After the gym I raced home, took Vannie for a quick walk then we headed out to Cardiff. When we got there, I found out they were running an hour ahead so I had missed seeing Rebecca and her dog. She said “no worries they were doing it again, two hours later”🤣. So we stayed out there until 430 and now my legs are screaming at me. Going from a spin class to sitting for four hours, hmmmm…not the best thing to do😜. It still was a very enjoyable morning and afternoon. Watching the seniors and the “specials” do agility was super entertaining! Some of them would dawdle, others would just do whatever they pleased. It was kind of like watching tiny little kids do an activity that is way out of their league, super entertaining lol2 -
@TeresaW1020 I'm so sorry to hear your back is acting up, hope you feel better when you wake up and feel less grouchy. Pain and grouchiness are great bedfellows! I can totally see how drinking wine snowballed, I notice when I drink now I crave carbs but I don't tend to any other time. Congratulations on starting the Never Binge Again program, I hope this is just what you need.
@laurelfit57 I hope you feel better soon, talk about getting whammied! Just saw you're doing better today, I'm so glad. Your day sounds like fun but long! I know exactly what you mean, I worked out then went to the garm and sat scooting down the rows, I tried to get up and my hip flexors cramped, stupid body!
@trooworld The blues festival sounds fun, have a great time!
Hi everyone! Did my workout this morning with my new weight bench I got off the freebie app, I dragged it in front of my computer and it was really fun to do something new. I was at the food bank farm for two hours, a bunch of high school kids were there as today was a community service day and the high school sent them over. I've been pretty tired since I got home, my brother asked for Skinnytaste Greek Pasta Salad for our get-together for Mother's Day and my youngest nephew's birthday so I made it tonight so the flavors could settle in. Off to read my Susan Mallery book, obviously the couple will end up together in one of hers but I have to see how it happens! Have a great Sunday and Happy Mother's Day!1 -

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms!

Hi, I'm Lisa from Florida. I'm married with two young adult children. My daughter is still in college, my son just graduated and moved back home. I've struggled with weight since the freshman 15, gained and lost with a few different methods over the years. It doesn't get easier to lose as you get older. I've been in this group for a couple years now and the support is very beneficial to me. It's helped me identify and clean up several bad habits.
I've been on vacation last week, but I've read all your posts and have been thinking of you all. We had a really nice time with our company. It was just what I needed to lift my spirits! My eating was pretty good while they were here. Now we are spending some time with the kids and there has been more restaurant eating, etc. I'm going to be challenged for the next couple days as well. Will at least get back to workouts starting tomorrow and be back on track by the end of the week.
Happy Mother's Day!

@TeresaW1020 Thank you, it was fun! I'm sorry about the binge. I'm excited to see how the intensive program goes. I hope it helps.
@Digger61 @amioc Congrats on the losses!
@laurelfit57 Thank you, it was fun! I'm glad you are feeling better. I'm glad you got to see the senior dogs do agility. That sounds like fun!
@Katmary71 Thank you, it was! Yay for a new free weight bench! I hope you enjoyed your book.
@Cornanda I'm glad you had a good time with your company. Have a good day.
Hi all. The blues festival was so much fun but my eating and drinking did not go as planned. I'm kind of mad at myself honestly. I had a plan and I just blew through it. But oh well. Today's a new day.
Speaking of today, if this is your special day, then I hope you have a good one. Mother's Day is painful for me, I may have mentioned this previous Mother's Days. I didn't have a good relationship with my mother when she was alive and never felt loved by either of my parents. I don't have children. This day is kind of a big dagger in my heart. I stay off social media for the day because all of the "Happy Mother's Day"s are too much for me. If you are like me, well, hugs to you. I see you.

@trooworld - I'm sorry that Mother's Day sucks for you. I think there are more people than we realize that are in the same boat as you are. Hugs to you!
@laurelfit57 - Nice loss this week- you are killing it! You must be very close to goal.
Happy Monday to all. Had a big dinner yesterday. It included cake. Now there is leftover cake. I do have to plans to minimize the cake damage. Getting back on my step today and strength tomorrow. My daughter is here until Wed night, so meals are a bit different than what I usually eat. I tried to plan them to minimize damage since I had a vacation last week. Time to go exercise and get caught up at work.

Early day at work for me (5:30am), due to needing to connect with our remote IT guy to process the 2021 year end close. Everything closed OK, as expected. I always breathe a sigh of relief when the year is closed and all the before and after reports are in balance.
It's a cold day here in NH. We had a frost last night. It's supposed to get up to 60F today, but the cold start certainly put an end to my plans to bike to work today.1 -
