    Goal for next week: 217.6 slow and steady

    I had a horrible night. I’m bloated, in terrible pain. Sorry to be such a downer. I appreciate having the outlet. I wish I could be unconscious for a couple days and try to ride this out.

    @Cornanda Happy Sunday! Yes you can do this, got that right!

    @megnolia82 Huge hug, prayers you're feeling better fast.

    @lrjogger1 @shaunarlr83 @laurelfit57 The leaders of the pack, you get down with your bad selves! Way to go!

    @trooworld Way to go on getting exercise in, it's hard on those days but you did great!

    @19shmoo69 I'm guessing to drink water but I'm not positive what Chris meant.

    Hi team! Had semi-relaxing day aside of going in the yard to see another section of fence is about to go, so frustrating. I DID work out, read, took a long bath, cleaned, did laundry, etc. Week is going to be busy, I may go to the food bank farm greenhouse tomorrow to drop off some stuff and plant more seeds then need to do a grocery trip. I joined in a rainbow challenge and haven't been to the store in two weeks so while I have lettuce that's still good I'm out of everything else. I have to do a seed order too for myself, I can't wait for spring! Have a great Monday everyone!

    No Zeros
    -did workout challenge (and weights and stretching)
    -ate well and under calories
    -drinking a lot of liquids. I realized I was slacking a bit because of the cold, I need to get another big tea carafe.

    Hey everyone. I’m back after being on vacation with my family for the past 5 days. Sorry, I haven’t checked in for a bit as I was busy with family and friends I haven’t seen in a while.

    While on vacation I worked out only 1 day, but I did manage to have no zero days by keeping up my water drinking and logging all my food every day. I stayed under my calorie goal 3 of those days and 2 days over goal (couldn’t resist the baked goodies my mom made). I might be up in weight tomorrow, but hopefully not too much.

    Tomorrow is the start of my 3rd level of nursing school, which comes with lots of stress. I know I’ll need to have some healthy coping tools so I don’t stress eat, which I’ve done a lot of in the past. Staying hydrated and taking walk breaks are two ways I’m planning. Any other ideas?

    @shaunarlr83 my heart goes out to you and your whole community and of course that little girl. The town where I live had a horrific kidnapping and murder of an 8 year old back in 2008. Her remains were found several months later. This many years later and the community is still affected. I’ll be thinking of Athena tonight. I’m so sorry.

    Today was a very difficult day. I had really bad nausea and threw up a few times. I decided to push through and do my 16 reps which was a big mistake :( my daughter came home from
    School sick today too but it was sore throat, headache, fever. I am just praying no one else catches my c diff.

    Sigh. Here’s to a good night and a better day tomorrow.

    @shaunarlr83 I'm so sorry to hear the little girl is most likely not alive, that's so sad. It sounds horrible from what you're hearing. I love hearing all your family time! It sounds like you all are really enjoying each other and you're all being healthier which is wonderful. Even if you don't have time to reply people come and let us know how you're doing when you can. Congratulations on the divorce being final tomorrow, woohoo! I hope your husband knocks off this harassment.I know it wasn't easy to leave but am so glad you did! You're being amazing all over the place, it's reminding me of a meme that says to bloom where you're planted as you're blooming and blossoming in so many ways. :) Way to go on 170s!

    @trooworld I hope you had a great workout! That chili looks awesome, yum! I love the Martin Luther King Jr. quote, that's a favorite of mine.

    @lrjogger1 Welcome back! I'm so glad you managed to stick to no zero days, you sound like you did really well on vacation which is always hard. I think walk breaks will help a lot with stress, working out is one of the healthier ways I cope with it. If you'll be very busy perhaps meal prepping a bit? If you're stressed at night there's great guided meditations and relaxing music on YouTube too.

    Hi everyone! I was going to go to the greenhouse at the high school today but the gate locked me out, I can't walk far so I just stayed home and did things around here like workout and clean then Walmart pickup though a few things I wanted weren't in so now I have to go to the store. That seems to always happen, at least the cat food was subbed. I made a big seed order last night and ordered my brother's birthday gift so that's squared away for this weekend. Bill is coming Saturday, he wanted to stay into the week but I told him to leave Monday because I get too far behind as I break things down so I can do them and have to spread it out vs. doing everything in one day. I'm only sleeping a couple hours a night and it's hard to be around people constantly when I feel real bad and it's raining constantly lately. Honestly I think we're beating Seattle on rainy days at this point! Thanks for letting me complain, have a great Tuesday!

    No Zeros
    did my cardio, strength training, and stretching and with the higher weights
    ate very well
    doing good with water and tea

    lrjogger1- I'm an RN and did nursing school in the 80s. It was stressful then, and I'm sure it's more stressful now. Sending you strength so that you can find an outlet for the stress that is not food. Sending you extra brain power too!

    Sorry, no time to read & catch up. But yay! New low! Yesterday was day 1 of a 45 day activity challenge for the youth employees at my club. My team, Cardio 4 Tacos, got 34 points the first day!!! We are going to kick butt and beat the other 12 teams if we just stay consistent. (For reference, if each of 4 team members works out at the club an hour in a day, the team would have 20 pts. I and another gal worked out twice, and the other 2 teammates came to a class with me and we earned bonus points.)

    Wow! Great losses this week! And so much positive energy. I love it! Yesterday was a slow day. I came off of nights and stayed up to actually enjoy my day off. So u dragged butt. I did manage to eat well drink my water and get half of my step goal in. But other than that just spent some great time catching up with my sister whom I don’t talk to near as much as I’d like. It was a beautiful winter day so my hubby and and I went for a drive. We do that a lot actually in the summer just to be together. I was in bed by 8 as I was zonked. I’m off today as well and it is housekeeping day.
    Hope everyone has a great day!

    A little gain for me this week but based on my food logging and lack of exercise it totally makes sense.

    Nice losses @shaunarlr83, @laurelfit57 and @happysquidmuffin !

    All - Thanks for all the tips related to coping with stress. Great advice!!

    @Katmary71 – That super sucks about your fence. Is it not covered by your insurance? And it’s a good thing you were locked OUT at the High School instead of being locked IN, right?
    @shaunarlr83 – Oh that poor little girl. So sad. But I’m glad some arrests have finally been made. Good job on sticking to your meal plan! And how nice that you were able to make a new connection with your cousin! Sounds like a lot of positive healing going on in your family.
    @lrjogger1 – Nice job during your vacation! Good luck on your nursing school. Not sure if this would help or not to keep snacking at bay, but I love veggie broth. Make a cup of broth (veggie, chicken, beef…whatever your fave is) when you’re feeling snack-ish. Usually 10 calories or less for a cup.

    Well, yesterday was my Birthday and I am now in the final year before being half a century old. Hoping my hair makes it at least another year with no gray :smile: Although I do think I spied a tiny bit of silver on one strand the other day Anyway, spent the day eating too much food (although I’m still within my “bites”) and enjoyed watching M3GAN. It was very predictable, but still fun. If anyone is a fan of Black Mirror, this would be your style.
    My niece got me a NUT’R for Christmas. It’s hilariously adorable! Makes plant based milks. I gave it a try the other day and made oat milk that I added to my chai. I flavored the oat milk with a date and my home made vanilla extract. Delish!

    @megnolia82 good morning!

    @trooworld Yes pain is up from weather and have insomnia, sadly I'm taking the prescription version of 4 Benadryl so it's frustrating. When I sleep decent I feel better in the morning. Glad you had a nice day off!

    @Becoming_a-Butterfly Love the meme and yes!

    @happysquidmuffin Way to go on the new low! I hope you beat the other teams!

    @tammymccrady6278 It sounds like an awesome day and great time with your sister and husband which is wonderful for mental health. Have a great day off and blast some fun music while cleaning!

    @lrjogger1 You got this, I'm sure it will be back down soon!

    @shaunarlr83 Congratulations! I know it must be a little sad too but you've been doing amazing.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 I've had dreams about being locked in bookstores or libraries but in a high school would be awful! Happy birthday my friend! Wow you don't have gray hair at all yet? I envy that, I started graying at 17, congratulations. I like Black Mirror but think I'll wait for M3GAN to stream it. Oh your NUT'R sounds so cool, my friend was telling me about something similar, I'm sure it will be fun to use.

    Hi team, hope you all are doing well! I had another night of not much sleep and had to drive to Sacramento which was about 25 miles, doesn't sound like a big deal but it is when your legs suck. Got my mammogram over with, came home, and conked out for a few hours. I worked out but am still super tired since my sleep's been bad for awhile. The fridge repair is tomorrow and I forgot about cleaning so that's up next, the ice maker drops water instead of ice every once in and awhile so I'm going to have it looked at now before it's out of warranty. Have a great Wednesday everyone!

    No Zeros
    worked out (no weights since it's leg day and I'm too worn out but cardio and stretching)
    Ate well and under

    That reminds me I probably wasn't under last night, my blood sugar was low and I started out well just ate a little too much healthy stuff waiting for my body to realize it had been fed.

    Still under 140 and I ate a lot of food this past week. My best friend sent me a fruit cake which is nothing like fruit cake, it has pineapple, cherries and walnuts. I usually save one slice for me and give the rest away, but this year I kept it and tonight I will be eating the last slice. Tomorrow I will go and pull weeds in the cactus garden. I had planned to do that today, but the doctor's office ran 1.5 hours late this morning, and then she decided I needed my cholesterol checked so I went downstairs to the lab. I really needed to go to the market after lunch, so the weeds just have to wait. It just stopped raining today too. Hopefully I can get it all done tomorrow if I work fast.

    I think everybody is amazing and doing so well. Well wishes to the people who are sick. My friend just got over covid. My throat was sore for a couple of days and that scared me. But I'm fine.

    I'm sorry for little girl, and happy for the divorce to be final. And I'm proud of everybody who tracked a few days and made the right choices under stress. I found a way to make my radishes last longer, I twist off the tops and store them in an airtight container.

    Don't you feel happy when you've bought a bunch of produce and fruit and you manage to eat it all before it spoils, I know I do.

    Hey y'all, just popping in real quick to let you know I'm not flaking out again. Yesterday (Monday) and today I have really focused on my food choices. I have done good.

    I tried to throw away those darn cookies, but my husband freaked out a bit. So, I put them in a smaller container since there isn't very many left. The big container taunted me, I barely notice the small one so, I haven't touched them. 😀

    I didn't exercise for a couple of days, Sunday I had unexpected company all day. Monday, I took a lazy day. Today, I FINALLY packed up my village. Tomorrow, the living room will get another thorough cleaning before I put the pictures and knick knacks back on the tables and shelves. I'm going to try and do some exercise tomorrow.

    I have been trying to work on changing my "lazy girl" hours. I need to start getting up earlier because I sleep so darn late. So, have been really tired. They say it takes 21 days for something to become a habit. Boy, when my hubby was working everyday, I would get up between 4:00-5:30 am 5 days a week. Since he has been on disability, we both have become late sleepers. One of my goals for this year is to start getting up earlier.

    I am super tired so good night y'all. 🙂
