Back to the old grind. 😕 The good thing is that it's also back to my normal eating and exercising. I may have had too much alcohol 🍹 at the pool ⛱️. And when taking our niece home yesterday she wanted to stop at DQ. 🍦 I rarely eat ice cream but in my defense it WAS 100 degrees out yesterday. 🥵🥵
Will catch up more in a bit. Have a great day! 🌞1 -

Just checking on a couple of folks, @KimR_1986 and @Krysless2 How y'all doing? Haven't seen or heard from you.1

@JbeanR0212 Glad you are doing well today. I was thinking about you earlier but hadn't had a chance to post.
And when I get a chance I will tell you about my adventures trying SUP over the weekend.

@DaffyGirl88 I need to swap this screen out for another and get to work but I look forward to hearing about your adventure. Because of all the heat my favorite lake also has an algae bloom now just like most around here. It’s not at an unhealthy level yet but I’d rather not. If I wanna get on the water more this summer I’m gonna have to find the time to increase the elevation of our trips and brace myself for the cold snowmelt.0

So sorry for my absence. I did start tracking again today. I’ve been thinking I should drop out for a while since I haven’t been contributing.
@susanshaughnessy80 self care is important. Never apologize for taking care of yourself, ever!!! If you need a break, take it. Mental burnout (and the crash that comes with it) is the worst but don’t give up on us…. I refuse to give up on you!

Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes - PT and I did go to spin. Lasted 30 min (I had to pinky swear to my therapist that I would not use any tension or stand on the bike😂)2 -
@DaffyGirl88 thank you, I’m still present and accounted for! I am finding that I feel too deeply what my daughter is feeling. When she wants to get into pjs and call off work and cry.. I feel obligated to be there to hold her hand, but ultimately I can’t keep doing this. I need to learn some balance here, but damnit!! The 16 yr old teenager who never has time for momma and now that’s all she wants?? Can I say No? I really don’t think I can!
It is difficult though.. I’m shrugging off all my adult responsibilities so easily, just because my kid asks for a chick-flick marathon 🤷🏻♀️ Eh 🫤 whattayagonna do?
We’re gonna work on this! Strengthen back up my ties here, I think will help!5 -
📊: No
⬇️: Yes
👟: Yes
💬: My body is finally fat adapted, ready to lose weight! Happy I did it because I have zero carb cravings. Went to the movies and everyone was eating popcorn with snacks and I didn’t feel left out or tempted. Amazing feeling, now its time to get shredded lol
Your winning!! Well done
Thank you!!1 -

Yes @Krysless2 what @DaffyGirl88 said. If your kiddo needs you, you should be there. Getting her out into some sunshine for a bit might help too if you can manage it.0

Omgsh, you look 16! How do you have a 16yo! Lol I hope she feels better soon. You’re an amazing mom, with much love to give❣️ It will get her in better spirits soon! Instead of getting in PJs offer to do some fun activities like bike riding at the beach, if one is near. Getting some sun can definitely elevate her mood. Getting up early for a morning brunch out. A walk in the sun afterwards to chat. Then getting some pedicures may motivate her to be more active and have the energy to search for a new job that she likes☺️

We’ll done my friend! I know how hard you have worked for this so I’m happy to see the scale giving you that feedback you wanted. Congrats on the fat adaptation and the drop! Sorry you didn’t get more support from the keto folks on 10 Days.0 -
@DaffyGirl88 this is my 7 year old Olivia on her brother’s board. She’s been working on carrying it herself and riding solo so she can have her own next year. Landen and I would also love this so we can play without trading off her ride hitches. She has more than earned his board outriding and turning many adults. He’s excited to upgrade to a 10’. And well for fun, here’s a not so flattering one he took of me.
These shots are from our last trip. You can see the blue/green algae taking over the water. Our infamous Red Rocks park & amphitheater is in the background (if you can make it out). Dying to hear your SUP story!!!!2 -
@JbeanR0212
The 10 Day challenge was very fun! It was nice to see how the body responds to different things. The group was supportive! We supported each other with likes and that was more than enough I can’t keep up with all the postings with all the groups. I keep missing my weekly weight in here which makes the team suffer. Im getting behind in GOT and posting too, I had to let one go. I also kept forgetting to weigh myself before eating I think weekly weigh in is more than enough for now:) 2 -

This looks like sooo much fun!!☺️2 -
So that the family is complete. Here is my 12 year old Landen with his paddle converted to kayak mode (Olivia and I were in the kayak this day) & my 23 year old Jordan on lake Powell from when we visited her for spring break. She was testing out my kayak paddle after being jealous that Landen’s converts.2 -
@JbeanR0212 Wow, way to make me feel like a total loser. LOL
First let me say that I have been trying to get someone to go with me for at least 3 years now. My husband has to be drug kicking and screaming anytime I want to try something new. I had planned for us to go last year on vacation but the rental place was closed.
Then I told him all I wanted for my birthday was to do this. He investigated but never got around to booking, so never happened. Our 22 yo niece was visiting last weekend so I figured that was my chance, I rented 3 boards and off we went. Sadly there is no photographic evidence. 
We got our boards in the water and, following rental girl's advice, paddled our way over to a shallow sandy area to practice standing up. We were kneeling then. My husband fell in 3 times but my niece got up on the first attempt and stayed up for the next 45 minutes.
It took me 3 tries to get vertical. The first 2 my legs were shaking so badly you could hear the board bouncing off the water :twap:thwap:thwap: so I sat back down. I got up on the 3rd try (3rd time's the charm) but my left leg continued to shake for the entire time that I was standing. I managed to stay standing for about 20 minutes before returning to kneeling and then finally sitting on the board. BUT...I didn't fall in. 
My hat's off to you and your kids. Although kids can do anything, they have no fear AND their center of gravity is so much lower. LOLOL
BTW...I will see your algae bloom and raise you one jellyfish infestation. My niece said the only thing that kept her from falling was fear of the jellyfish.
