I was able to get away from my desk yesterday for two short 10 minutes walks. Burned just enough to keep me under. Woot! I almost see the light at the end of my work tunnel, but it's partially blocked by the oncoming holidays. 😧
Have not caught up with MUAC, I apologize. It's on my list for this weekend. 🤞 It's going to be 75 here so no guarantees that I will stay inside. 😉
The October results are up also. I will try and copy the links later, but you should be able to see them on the main BL page.
Happy Friday!! 💕1 -
@sandkp Hang in there! You've done great! So you gained a few pounds back, no big deal. You are still down from where you started and that's great! Plus, spending time with your boys this summer and finally getting to go on that fabulous vacation was more important. All of those sayings like "How many women on the Titanic passed up dessert?" May be trite but they're true. We can't stop enjoying life and the foods we love just because we are trying to lose weight.
As for the hormones I feel you there! If you are a reader check out "Excuse Me While I Disappear" by Laurie Notaro. I laughed out loud so many times my husband came to check on me. 😂 Plus I learned a few things about being a woman of a certain age. Like losing your eyebrows is totally normal. I just recently realized they were gone! I was like WTF? 🤷♀️
Anyway, I digress 😁 Long way to say start from today and move forward. You're doing great. 🥰1 -
@JbeanR0212 Hi Jenn! Great to see you! So happy you are getting use of your arms back, that's great news. Don't apologize for anything, we're just glad that you are improving and stopped by to say hello. Now I have to go rifle through my music 🎵 to find a happy dance. 🥰1

I swore I was never going to see a 2 before my weight again! I have to get out of my head and remember weight loss starts in the kitchen and not all on the exercise I can not do. I promise to be a better member of our team 😒2 -

I have a wedding to attend this afternoon & then I am back to tracking. Just saw my primary care Thursday & I have regained 20 pounds this past six months. My focus will be tracking, not eating in the car, and at least 20 minutes on the treadmill daily. Please pray for me 😭 Thank you!2 -

As you know, I’ve been on a very long slide. Your encouragement gives me hope, so now I want to encourage you. You’re such a consistent tracker & exerciser and that really inspires me to keep trying. Sometimes we do go over on our calories (which is why I mightily resist tracking), but you don’t give up. Thank you for being an amazing leader of this group! I pray you are having a great weekend! 🙌🏻❤️🙏🏻😊2 -
Hello TBBT.... I am hoping November can be a turn around of this climb I am on. The last quarter of every year is always busy with tons of celebrating and I always seem to lose my focus. Add in those pesky midlife hormones and some stresses (not normal life stresses) and this girl is fighting a mental game that I can't afford to lose because that translates to gains and a downward spiral of my achievements. Why is -2 so hard to achieve but a +5 is an easy overnight (non) achievement?
Overall I have had highs and lows as my journey started last October but Nov 1 was first day of conscious awareness of what went in my mouth. So in that regard, I am and have kept 16 lbs off in this year.. but can't let myself celebrate because at some point over this year I WAS down 33 lbs.
All I can do is refocus (again 😔) and strive to build upon my achievements and not let my mental game mess me up.
New month weigh in...
