Weigh in Day: THURSDAY

CW: 150.8
I had a weird weigh in yesterday, where I had dropped 3.4lbs over night, to 147.2, so I was quite hopeful for today's team weigh in, but it wasn't to be. Back up 3.6lbs from yesterday, but still some lost from last week, so I get a green check at least! Water retention issues I think, I was just dehydrated yesterday and today I'm back to normal levels.

Not a bad gain considering the time of the month (I've been battling PMS since Saturday) and what feels like a lack of exercise. I've been busy, but not with the kind of stuff that translates to any significant physical activity. Also, thanks to said PMS, I've found myself making a few less healthy choices. Unfortunately, Dubai isn't going to be an active holiday - unless I swim lengths in the sea I suppose.
What I have done well this week is my meals, particularly in the evening, despite wanting to grab fast food when I've been out (less about the food and more about the fast). Tuesday I had some microwaveable pasta with tomato sauce and added chicken, yesterday I made a chicken sandwich with salad.
I've been getting loads of little jobs done, and a couple of hours of errands/shopping each evening as well. Last night when I got back about 8.30pm, I spent until ~10pm doing chores and trying to rehab my orchid which is looking a bit neglected. Haven't gotten the watering balance right yet it seems. I saw a video on potting it up in sphagnum moss, drenching it with ~50C/122F water, then mostly sealing it in a clear plastic bag so it creates a humid greenhouse type thing. Leave it for three days, and hopefully it'll be well on its way to rehydrated when it comes out. Fingers crossed!6 -

@eggfreak You are strong, you are loved, and we are here for you. I'm glad you find moments of peace in connecting with the group chat. I really like to end my day reading the adventures, struggles and triumphs of the team before bed. it helps me reset and plan for an even better day the next morning.7

Thank you all. I was convinced it would be a huge gain today. I actually got back into my car again after work and drove to get ice cream - will take a cue from @ashleycarole86 next time and instead, throw on my garden work clothes and get out into the yard to do a bit of branch cleanup...anything, just MOVE....I know that's stress buster, therapy, and sleep aid. I sit enough at my work desk.7 -

Sorry friends. Life is a little crazy right now and I have not had time to read posts. I hope everyone is doing well and will try to do keep up soon.6 -
I'm a day late for my mid-week check-in but I'm caught up on your posts.
I've upped my water intake & prioritization this week and that is going well. I get 75-80 Oz a day. I've decided to have a pint glass (16 oz) first thing before my tea and that I need another 32 Oz down before I have my "treat" of a Coke ZERO. I know I can't have caffeine after 3pm so this helps me stay on track.
I've also been focused on protein and am appreciating how much longer I am full after a meal and some increased energy.
We went out for dinner as a family to an Italian place last night. I made sure to include a salad and ate far less pizza than I used to. I was so full. Shared a dessert later with my daughter which let me participate in the fun of the family date night while limiting extra calories and sugar. I feel a bit hungover this morning from the pizza & dessert though.
Hope everyone's week wraps up well!6 -
@jugar I'm going to be away next Thursday 23rd March until the following Tuesday so won't be able to weigh in. I can weigh in on Tuesday 21st March instead if that helps? Thanks1

Hugs to @eggfreak and @Gidgitgoescrzy What a sad, rough time you are both having. Please take care of yourselves and know we are here to support you.
Sylvia, I hope your garden brings you joy and calm as you go through this very difficult time. Holding you in the Light.
The week is flying by. Looks like I will be heading to Greensboro, NC next week to take care of the last bit of stuff at our house. I need to push back our closing to give my son some time to get settled. He is now in round 3 and round 2 of two prospective jobs. He should know by the end of the month. Asking for all good vibes that he gets an offer.
My food has been ok. Logging is sporadic. Steps are fine. Still chilly here. I welcome spring with open arms if she could stick around long enough. Weight is up a tiny bit from last week, but that was a big drop. @jugar I'll let you know tomorrow if I am weighing in on Friday or Saturday.
Have a great day friends.4 -

Hockey was fantastic, over 16 minutes at my high intensity heart rate level and 31 minutes at the threshold, but it might not be enough to compensate for some meal choices earlier in the day... We shall see what the morrow brings! 6 hours to sleep before getting up for the commute to the office. Fun fun!!

Well... My prediction was correct... The scale was ugly this morning. So I'm gonna just pretend it didn't happen and try again tomorrow. Today is the day of ALL GREEN, St Patrick's day (which I understand is celebrated outside of Ireland WAY MORE than in Ireland where it's supposed to be founded - am I right?)
Have a good Friday everyone4 -
