I am sorry to say that I am sick my friends. After receiving my flu vaccination on Monday, I can down with a severe case of the flu Thursday evening. I have been sick since then, unable to eat anything and keep it down. Fever, chills, cold sweats, everything flu has to offer. Too weak to sit up let alone walk. So, don’t expect much from me this week. We will see how things go next.
I hope you feel better soon2 -
Made it through Thanksgiving Dinner unscathed. Just had some white meat turkey, a little bit of mashed potatoes and some pasta. No dessert or party potatoes. Sigh lol.3

@lindamtuck2018, @fatfifties
Please excuse me from this week's weigh-in (10/14). I will be traveling. I will be back home in time for the following week's weigh-in (10/21). I will have a longer trip at the end of the month into November, but I'll have my scale for that one. 😉

I will still be posting steps, as I will be wearing my Garmin.3 -

Awesome loss but being sick is not the way you want to lose it. I hope you feel better soon.Made it through Thanksgiving Dinner unscathed. Just had some white meat turkey, a little bit of mashed potatoes and some pasta. No dessert or party potatoes. Sigh lol.
You have great willpower. I have been dreaming about the pumpkin cheesecake we are having for dessert today ever since I ordered it.

Week in Review
5'8"
SW:168
PW:160.2
CW:158.1
Last weeks goals:
1: Prep and Plan meals
2: Run x4
only got 3 in
3: Strength x3
4: Close all my circles on my apple watch missed one day
Overall, a good week. This is week 2 of me being back to MFP and tracking which usually has a slip up and a quit. Not this week, not this time.
I slipped up on Friday, just over 2,000 calories consumed
but I was very good yesterday for Canadian Thanksgiving.
What I did Good! Meal plan and prep and sticking to it. (except friday)
What needs work! Working out on workdays. I work 7am-7pm and its dark when I leave and when I get home. I hate running in the dark by myself. This week I will try power walks on my lunch/dinner breaks and finding good cardio videos online.

Hey, @Megan_smartiepants1970 ans @lindamtuck2018 : can I change my posting dates to Mondays? For some reason I can’t get it together Sunday nights to actually make a post. I’m so sorry! I do want to be in this group.

I have been so stressed out lately: my diet and exercise have definitely continued to take a hit.
Having said that - I have had a little bit of good news. I’ve been able to work my way into a part-time job doing what I used to love and have missed terribly. I used to work at a vet clinic with the plan of going to vet school. Long story short: I realized I don’t want to be a vet, I like the hands-on work of the tech. I switched plans and went into teaching - where I’ve been the last 10 years. Over the years I’ve kept in touch with an awesome coworker from my clinic days, and asked her if I could come work at her clinic a couple days a month (she and her vet-husband own their own clinic now!) She said yes! I am SO excited!! I’ve missed that world so much! The scheduling is perfect because it will only be 2 Saturdays a month, and they’re only open 8-2: so it won’t even be my whole Saturday! Plus it’ll be extra money coming in, in the field I’ve missed with an awesome coworker!!
Hopefully this major boost in every aspect will also help with some weight loss. I will be moving around more, and it’ll alleviate some stress which hopefully will impact my diet, etc.
Anyway… again, many apologies for not posting. It is not intentional, and I certainly do not want to be removed!
Have a good week everyone.
