    @sandkp - πŸŽ‰ Congrats on the loss, that’s great! I’m so happy for you.

    @DaffyGirl88 - You did great! Eating out always makes those calorie goals feel so much harder to contain. Your husband sounds like my Dad although he won’t eat at any place that serves seafood because he thinks it β€œmakes all meat taste like fish” and he detests them πŸ˜‚.

    MUAC Daily Post: Thursday (8/11)
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes - Gross Under / πŸ’§144 oz.
    Exercise: 20 min. Tai Chi

    Goals/Day/Comments: Weight fell a bit yesterday and today all though I’m not sure why. Diet is getting boring & old. Had a smoothy day, still waiting for relief but getting better in other aspects. Sorry no quote, slammed at work.

    @krysless2 life gets crazy, don’t beat yourself up. And that wasn’t the pic I was expecting you to share.

    @Krysless2 πŸ₯° You made that! I almost thought her hair clip was a pager πŸ˜‚. With the styles that are coming back that was easy to picture. My son has discovered Nirvana and the Stone Temple Pilots which just makes me giggle. You’ll have other days of firsts in your future (even if unrelated to academics) but a bittersweet moment for sure. All I could think on our back to school clothes shopping trip was thank you Stranger Things πŸ˜‚

    Krysless2 Posts: 2,131 Member
    @DaffyGirl88 I got those and the yogurt at Costco, I noticed the yogurt at Walmart as well! I’m OBSESSED with this combo

    @JbeanR0212 I KNOW RIGHT!?! who’da thunk it! Please just don’t bring back shoulder pads, that’s all I ask!
    Thank you for the encouragement and your sweet words! It is definitely bittersweet..

    πŸ‘Ÿ: Yes
    πŸ’¬: Feels nice to lose some weight for a change. GOT is really keeping me on trackπŸ‘‘

    Awesome, well done on the 2lb loss!!

    Thank you! I’m looking forward to hour week fast! :)

    I wonder if there is an app we can keep tabs durning the fast together

    I use Zero app to track my fasts, not sure if you can add friends on there, need to investigate. There is also the life app I did have it but deleted it, that one I'm sure you can have a circle of friends to share your fasts with. Life app is good for longer fasts as some of the others only limit you to recording 72hr or 7 day fasts at a time

    I have Zero too. If you want try life when the time comes, let me know☺️

    I have reinstall Life now so lets use that, new phone so more storage space.

    Update: Wed 10th Aug
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Was under, fasted for 16hrs 34mins.
    Exercise: Yes - 23554 steps, 5 mile run and 3.81 mile walk

    Update: Thu 11th Aug
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Was under, fasted for 23hrs 5 mins
    Exercise: Yes - 31145 steps, 3.38 mile run and 8.37 mile walk.

    Goals/Day/Comments: It does get tiring weighing and logging food but trying to keep up with it. If I don't log it's usually because I've eaten out. Most places don't have the nutritional breakdown but have the calories only

    @Krysless2 Your daughter is beautiful! Time flies, doesn’t it?
    @JbeanR0212 Those clothes bring back a lot of memories, especially the side ponytail! πŸ˜†
    @DaffyGirl88 Just reading what your husband ate caused me to gain three pounds. 🀣 I applaud you for making better choices! πŸ‘πŸΌ

    Thursday August 11
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under (barely! 😬)
    Exercise: Short walk and some stretching
    Goals/Day/Comments: Plumbing woes galore! Ooofta. Upstairs bathtub faucet leaking, downstairs newly installed toilet smells like sulphur and rotten eggs! Googled it and am hoping for just a wax ring issue. The sewage gas explains a lot of mysteries, though: smoke alarm going off with no smoke, my days of severe dizziness and bad headaches. Going to call a plumber in the morning!

    Ick @therealbluenote plumbing issues are never fun and made even worse when you don’t feel well. Sending hugs your way and hoping they tackle it soon.

    Good morning and Happy Friday y'all! 🍹🍷πŸ₯³

    I want to apologize to you guys. Y'all have been great posting every day but I have NOT been great keeping up with the MUAC spreadsheet. πŸ˜” Work has been crazy lately and I haven't had time. And when I'm off work the last thing I want to do is sit at that same desk and look at another spreadsheet. πŸ˜• Normally I can monitor it during work, your tax payer dollars hard at work there 🀣🀣, but not this week. πŸ˜•

    I feel bad because I've seen a lot of posts that I wanted to respond to! Anyway, keep up the great work and here's hoping next week will be better! πŸ‘

    @krysless2 πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ I think it just has to be used by the Sunday deadline for weekly minutes.

    Even catching up on 3 days of my newsfeed last night it appears this week has been hard to follow along for everybody in the MFP community. Myself included. That’s why I only keep friendships with my challenge peeps or true Accountability partners. I do prioritize teammates in Community Challenges though.

    @advegan the fast food chains have made it all around the world but no American steakhouses? It’s a thing & delicious! My Dad and kids get excited when I make cinnamon honey butter for the holidays.

    I finally have some good news! I exercised Sunday, Monday, and Thursday. I tracked Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and plan to keep that going. I was over one day and under calories the past 2 days. I even dropped 2 pounds, so I’m encouraged.

    Thanks for being there, everyone, and I wish you all well today & throughout the weekend.

    MUAC Daily Post: Friday (8/12)
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes - Gross Under / πŸ’§160 oz.
    Exercise: Took a little 45 min. walk

    Goals/Day/Comments: Feeling a little better each day so trying to build more movement in before returning to GoT next week (and to free up my innards). Taking it SLOW and easy so I don’t feel quite like I’m exercising yet. I almost want to try an intense session but then I imagine Sue shaking her finger at me and it helps to stay the course. Sorry no quote again, gotta get to it.
