Hi friends! 👋🏼
So happy to see you @DianaGetsFit512 ! You used to be eyesby Diana, right? Congratulations on your little guy. 🎉
I finally remembered to jump on the scale this am and was happily down a bit. I have managed to log my breakfast and lunch and prelogged some of my dinner. I’m going to do it.
Omg you remember me!!! Yes that was me!!!!! Great memory!!!! Thank you so much!2 -

The piggies take no offense 😆 Piggies need daily vegetables, tons of fiber and lots of space to roam around and explore. I think you will make an excellent guinea pig for the study. I have had quite a few students with severe seizure disorders that are completely controlled by a medical ketosis diet! If ketones can have that kind of impact on their brain, I can't wait to hear more about the study. They all have feeding tubes and have no idea what bread tastes like so they are obviously very compliant with their diet.
My daughter had some sudden intense pain behind her ear and her kneck was stiff this morning. Long story short, we ended up at the pediatric ER. They eventually decided it was a muscle spasm that was just very intense. This was a relief because the urgent care was worried about something more serious, hence the ER referral. She is pain free now and I ended up just taking the whole day off.
I worked out this morning and I am really proud that I didn't go crazy and stress eat this afternoon post ER room visit.
So glad it was just a spasm!3 -
OMG ! Guess who was under her calorie goal today after like a year of being over "points"... this girl!! And I even had taco bell for dinner negate I was exhausted after work!

You go gurl! 😛3 -
I feel like I am losing/gaining the same 5 pounds... yet, this is the lowest weight I have been for the last 5..6 years. Today, I was diligent with calorie tracking. Hoping to be better with it, for the next few months. Especially with the holidays right around the bend! Jack and I did a two hour walk. He's my accountability coach!

That's great girly!! I'm so there with you with feeling like you can't get over a weight hurdle, but you are at the lowest so just keep going!3 -
Happy Wednesday!
Great energy bubbling up here - build on it and have a good one! Keep those goals in mind, and up your fiber intake. All will be well

😫 I did it to myself and can't blame this on anything but me. I don't know if I'm not in the right mindset or why I do this sometimes. I don't keep temptations in the house so yesterday and the day before, I went out of my way and drove to the fast food restaurant and ice cream. On the plus side, I did track all this food even though the day before yesterday I ate 2,700 calories 😳8 -
Hi WA's ...Another new member joining your amazing team ....Please welcome @alydanbeads

You did it exactly right! Yes, it was a crash and burn, but you did not close your eyes to the information, you logged it and looked it right in the eyes. You needed a little get-outta-jail-time and you took it. Now give it a good boot and you'll be feeling better in no time. One perfect day, ok?lauren_989 wrote: »😫 I did it to myself and can't blame this on anything but me. I don't know if I'm not in the right mindset or why I do this sometimes.

Grace over Guilt - say it over and over to yourself. Just keeping going for that one perfect day.
My last post was cut short because lots of little kiddos needed their water bottles refilled at the end of PE. We should all take their lead and drink our water.
I got through Tuesday at school, then started to feel symptoms. I took another Covid test last night and it was positive. Booooo! That’s twice in the last 90 days! My husband is also positive. So now we are busy trying not to infect everyone in the house. Five days of isolation again. Geez! Thankfully our symptoms are fairly mild. Like a cold.
Today my weight was down again. About two pounds. Not sure if I believe it. We’ll see on Friday.
Love those piggies @conleywoods. ❤️

Oh no!!!!! Feel better soon! We just got it for the first time 4 weeks ago. I've been super paranoid about it because of the baby, but now sort of feel relief knowing we went through it already..(I still wear my mask out)3 -
@DianaGetsFit512 @BeeHapppy101 @ashleydlevinson @alydanbeads Welcome!! Looking forward to learning about all of you.
@micki48 Bummer about round 2 of COVID. I hope your symptoms are mild. I've had it twice myself and the second time was much easier to get through. Fingers crossed!!
Brad and I have been busy.. from Sunday until this evening I've seen seven different live pianists! Work is also still a zoo, so I'm running a bit ragged. I was a bit like this pre-COVID (overextended at times) and it made it easy not to be on track. My weight was looking good for the week but the last few days haven't been as good. I'm definitely in that season - our anniversary, my birthday, Christmas party invites are starting to come out... need more on track days to balance it all out.
Step report tomorrow night!
Enjoyed catching up on everyone's news since Sunday.. lots going on.1 -
Just popped in to read comments and say ‘Hi!’ to all newcomers.
My mum flies home tomorrow night, it’s been a fabulous four weeks and I’ve already started the quiet tears. Tomorrow I will be a mess.
I’ve seen a few people saying about resets and I am planning to reset on Friday as I need a distraction. I have lots of chores and activities planned to keep me busy and occupied.6 -
@micki48 Oh not covid again 🙄 Glad it is mild and you are doing okay. @DianaGetsFit512 It is a huge relief when you do finally get through your first round of covid. I remember having that feeling as well.
After I posted last night, I was looking at my youngest at dinner and I'm thinking his eye looks really pink🤔 oh yes, pink eye for sure. We hurried off to urgent care and got there 5 minutes before the cut off time to get in. Got his meds and then off to bed late.
Didn't make my morning workout since the little guy needed tending to. Moved my workout to the evening and got it done after the kids went to bed. I was 100 calories over but as long as I am within 20% of my targets, I still get my star 🌟 and hit my macros! I already know I'm on track for a loss this week 😁6 -
@conleywoods
I really don't want to come off intrusive
but I can't help, because of what I do...to say.... please try not to go to an urgent care or primary doctor for red eyes. Unfortunately, not because they don't have the knowledge, but rather because they don't have the right equipment, they can't always properly diagnose eye related conditions. Too often I've seen patients come in with all sorts of other issues who were told they had pink eye and in fact had other conditions. Hope your little one feels better soon!! 1 -
@micki48 I hope your second round of covid isn't rough on you both. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.
I made the green tomato chutney last night after going out for ingredients. It took me 2 hours to prepare the tomatoes and onions because they were so small; wish I'd bought onions rather than using the allotment ones lol. This morning the house stinks of vinegar, and I have a feeling I'm not going to like the chutney. Hopefully OH does, as it made rather a lot more than I was expecting!
My fruit trees arrived yesterday so I bought pots whilst I was out; I plan to pot them temporarily (and sink the pots into the ground so they don't fall over) whilst I decide on and prep the ground for their final placement. OH went to the allotment yesterday morning and finished the base for the greenhouse, which means we're looking good for finishing it over the weekend.
It was weigh in day today and my weight is up again, but I had McDonalds last night as it was on the retail park. I'm glad I did, due to the effort involved in making the chutney, but it means I'm not sure how much of the weight gain is water retention etc. I'll probably have the same issue next week as, with travelling for work, it'll be fast food on Wednesday night again. I'm anxious about work at the moment and feeling overwhelmed/out of my depth. Between that and frustrations over making the chutney, I wrote chocolate x3 and biscuits x full pack on my BED tracking sheet last night for my final snack. I did have the chocolate, but didn't open the biscuits, so I crossed them out before going to bed. Previously, I'd have had all that and probably gotten up for more.
I'm tired, can't wait for the weekend, and have some underlying anxiety, but I'm in a good mood today!6 -

I am so behind. I can't keep up. October was insane for me and I am ready for it to be over!!!! My weight stayed about the same all month. I really need to cut back on snacking if I want to lose weight.
Also, my field trip to the Pumpkin Patch was canceled. We had horrible winds on Sunday and several of their tents broke. They had to close Monday for repairs4 -
So sorry to hear about a new bout of covid @micki48 and about your cancelled trip and crazy schedule @KellyBgetsfit - it sounds like wrapping up October is a good thing for sure.
@conleywoods I hope the little guy feels better fast - you are amazing for getting the workouts and macros right in spite of it all.
@DD265 you are getting there with the allotment! I cannot believe the amazing work you have put in there. I relate all too well to the green tomato chutney story, though. I made a colossal batch of green tomato relish last year (an amazing recipe with turmeric - nothing tastes better on a grilled cheese sandwich!), and it will never be finished. There is way too much and I can't give away more - it is something used in moderation, and even though it is delicious, there is a limit! I did not make any this year - but luckily had very few green tomatoes this year as well, so I did not feel like I was wasting food. Start planning lots of lovely visits with friends and giving away jars of your chutney if you have too many!
I'm having my first visit with a new trainer today. I have been wafting along without one for quite a long time, and it is time to get some advice and inspiration. I always do my Pilates and a decent amount of moving around, but I need to keep the muscles strong, which gets harder at this age. My hit-or-miss approach is not cutting it! I hope this guy is good - he comes highly recommended by my physiotherapist. It feels good to be taking some steps and trying something new, at least.
Time for chores and other excitements - have a good one!6 -
Good morning!! New here... just joined yesterday to start the November challenge. My name is Cristy. I'm 48, married with 2 adult girls (19 & 23). I started off 3 weeks ago at 165 lbs and am now down to 157.2 with a goal of 145, but would love to get closer to 135 if I can. I'm struggling with pre-menopause and all the fun that goes with that including the menopause belly and difficulty in losing weight. After getting my lab results from my Dr 3 weeks ago that indicated I officially have high cholesterol after being borderline for a while, I decided it was time to get my life together. I don't want to take medication if I don't absolutely have to, so I changed my diet, starting taking natural supplements, and exercising. I'm going back to the Dr in 3 months to run labs again, so I'm hoping all of these changes will make a difference. I'm looking forward to getting know you all and being part of a supportive group. Thanks for letting me join!7

@DianaGetsFit512 Thanks for the tip. They have 30+ cases of pink eye at my sons school which started about 10 days ago. My husband teaches there and it's so bad. I have a really great eye doctor and vision therapy team for my other son who definitely has complex vision stuff. He is doing better already. What do you do for a living?4 -
Thanks for the well wishes. I’m doing well enough that I went outside and pulled up what’s left of my tomato plants. My garden is at rest. Hubby is running a fever and has an impressive cough. I have no fever, but definitely feel like I have a bad cold with an odd little dizzy here and there. @ashleycarole86 thanks for letting me know you had it twice. I was feeling a bit like a pariah. My symptoms are a bit more this time, but I am not taking paxlovid this time.
I’m happy to say I am holding on to that loss so far. I was 209.8 this am and yesterday. I have also been logging my food. That’s a pretty big deal because I can’t remember the last time I did. I know it’s an important piece of the puzzle for me.
@jugar So exciting to have time with a trainer. I totally believe having something new in the plan helps keep up the motivation/determination. Can’t wait to hear about it.
@conleywoods Sorry to hear about your little guy. Our class has had a couple cases of pinkeye. We also have two littles in the other PreK who are hospitalized with RSV. 😞
It’s a gorgeous day here. But not sure I’m going to be able to get my steps in being isolated.
@ashleycarole86 i will post my steps on another post below. No worries if you are done the results. Just add them to the month. I totally forgot in this mess.

Just found out that our department at work won't be forced back to the office more than twice a month for the foreseeable future so I am doing my happy dance! Great timing on finding out because I was about to shell out for IT equipment for my home setup that I can now forget about
Happy dances burn calories, right? 😉5 -
