@DaffyGirl88 and @mooreshelly09 Thank you for the endorsement.
Sue, I knew you wouldn't care about the competition part of this challenge, but it is valid to be frustrated when someone says they will show up, and they don't. That's why I thought I would ask.
@JbeanR0212 Thank you for your kind words. I am really doing okay with my mother's passing; It was far better than the alternative.
Okay, so here is a brief intro. I am Lisa, 56, from Ontario Canada. Married with two grown sons; one in town and one that lives in Prague, CZ. We have a family farm supply business that I work at very,very part time, filing invoices and stuffing monthly statements.
I have been with TBBT on and off for YEARS!! But about a year and some ago, I just couldn't function very well any more. I never really recovered from Christmas, and then my parents decided that they should move into a retirement home. A very good decision, but a lot of work selling the house and packing up any belongings that the family didn't want (it is just my sister and me) and that they couldn't take with them into a one room unit. I essentially gave up on having any sort of quality of life...I gave up on me. I was eating anything I thought I wanted, and copious amounts to boot, and movement (other than when I was at my parents' house) was between my computer and my kitchen. Because I had decided that I wasn't worth putting effort into, I was in essence punishing myself, and scolding myself on a daily basis. Definitely not a good head space!
On Saturday, though, something clicked. I just started logging my food and making good decisions. I am on day four. Today at work I was using an available office to do up some labels on the computer and that is the office where the Christmas treats are kept for anyone to help themselves. There was an opened box of chocolates. I must have peeked inside three times, but I never took one. And one of the reasons was because I would have had to guess how to log it! The other reason is because I am just beginning this journey, and I have no idea how having a chocolate will affect my brain. It might push me to have more than just one (especially if I am having to guess at calories anyways). And the final reason is that chocolates are not unicorns...I know where to find them if I really really decide I need one!
Sunday: logged and under and a 29 minute walk cutting down our Christmas tree (14,775 steps)
Monday: logged and under and a 34 minute walk (14,487 steps)
Tuesday: logged and under and a 32 minute walk (TBD)
On Sunday I weighed in at 204.6 lbs.

Happy December everyone!
PW: 148.5 (I think?)
CW: 149
I feel like I have been stuck unintentionally maintenance in this couple of pound range for months!
In my mind I know I want to lose this extra 20lbs but I'm just so tired of the endless quest of weightloss.
Baby is STILL sleeping terribly (5+ wakes a night for the last hmm.. 11.5 months? She is 1 in 2 weeks time) which I'd taking its toll on my willpower. I get out walking with her and the dog every day (average 15-20k steps daily) but it's all o can bring myself to do.
In the new year she will go to nursery for a couple of hours in the morning for socialising and exposure to Spanish/Catalan (I only speak English to her at home and I don't want her to struggle with language when she starts school, so thought it would be good for her to interact with other people/babies in those languages). My plan is to take advantage of those hours of free time by getting back into running. I haven't run since I have 5.5months pregnant and I really miss it, but it's impossible for me to get out as I have no one who can look after her when I go.
I will visit England for Christmas and so my plan for December is to end the year feeling in control of my habits and not give myself even more work to do once the calendar page turns!
So here we go again team! Although I don't post much, I love reading how supportive and caring everyone is. We are not in this alone xx1 -

@HASWLRS so sorry about your mom, how's your dad doing? Your son with the possible break up, is this the local one or the one overseas?
My son had a GF for a short time last year but it didn't last. I worry about him being across the country on his own and getting lonely. He has friends that he does things with but still goes home to an empty house. COVID sure has changed the dating scene that's for sure!1 -

Had a touch of the stomach flu yesterday 🤮 so that helped keep me under. Also kept me away from work since no one wants me to share THAT! 😲 Better today so an going in, but will keep a socially distant buffer around me. 😁😷 We're in a very large conference room so isn't an issue.
@therealbluenote I hope your headache passes soon. Those are the worst!
@JbeanR0212 Yay for getting out of quarantine! 🎉 Hope you can get back to PT and that you didn't lose too much ground. Amazing how you can work for months, then miss a week and it's like you are starting over. 😟 Say hello to Lisa and Jordy! Did you meet your new caregiver yet? Hope it goes well. 🤞🥰1 -

@mooreshelly09 I hope you enjoy it. I love my bike, although I didn't ride it as much as I should have this year. I have a road bike, I'm not much of a trail person. Thinking about getting a hybrid. Maryland has several rail trails and those are gravel, my skinny little tires don't do gravel. 😐1
