    @deepwoodslady @musicsax Thank you! It feels so good to finally be back in the right mindset again :smile: I'm glad to see you both seem to be doing well from your posts too!

    To ALL NEWBIES - WELCOME! I’m sorry I’m not very good at welcoming each new individual so I want to thank @EricTaladega and others for doing it!

    @playhardkf2017 WELCOME BACK! Post when you can-it’s all good!!

    @SheilaBoneham I love knowing where people live or have lived. I was so excited to meet @HoopsGuy a few years ago when we had a one night stop in Long Beach and he went out of his way to visit us at our hotel. Now where has he gone again??? Sheila, SNOW?? This weather!

    @LisaPower123 You are THE BOMB!! Congratulations on sticking to it!

    @PaulyJoMomma Thank you for your service! I’m sorry that resulted in disability. I love IF and OMAD. If I hadn’t made the yummy but not healthy choices I made yesterday, I would be so much better off! Well, it was a one off so I will carry on and get back on the wagon! I wish I had a workout partner!!

    @fmfdfa You have 2 entries for 4/14, is that an error? I, too, react to sugar. Even the “healthy” natural sugar in fruit.

    @SModa61 That's a great pace for a run with walking in it! I ran this morning too and was right around that pace throughout it. Also, I remember that awful attack, it was horrific! That 5k idea sounds like a great cause. I might look into it because I signed up for the Harpoon 5-mile race in the Seaport on May 21st. So a 5k race would be a good test run.

    @playhardkf2017 if you do sign up, let me know, and I will do the same if/when I do. Need to verify with hubby that I am in Massachusetts that weekend (which I hope to be).

    Thank you so much @musicsax . I know you have the same struggles as I have with bingeing. I can control my food triggers as long as I stay away from them. The emotional/stress triggers are harder, but it does seem to be getting easier the longer I go.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY a day early. Enjoy your day!!🎵✨🎈🎁

    @quiltingjaine Yes, it was an error. Thanks, I'll fix it tomorrow. And thanks for the comment about sugar. I, too, have to limit fruit as well.

    Christine from Burlington, Ontario, Canada 😊
    My 10th Round
    Age 53, 5’5”
    June 2005: 345 lbs (Highest known weight before WLS Aug 2005)
    June 2017: 241.8 lbs.
    Weight Beginning this Round: 140.0 lbs
    Goal Weight: 135 lbs

    This round's daily goals:
    1. Stay “Under” in MFP 10/10 days – ☹☹☹
    2. 6 cups fluids 10/10 days – 😊😊😊
    3. 10-min guided meditation 10/10 days - ☹☹☹
    4. Attend work 8/8 days –😊😊😊
    5. Gym strength training 4/10 days -


    4/12 – 140.0 lbs – Okay, I am 1.8 lbs less than I was at the start of the last round, so #winning. I am also 17.6 lbs lower than I was when I started doing these 10-day challenges on January 13th, almost exactly 3 months ago. Apparently doing things in 10-day increments is really helpful for me! Thanks @quiltingjaine! 😊 Yesterday was a disaster, calorie wise, which included giving up on logging in MFP, eating Chinese food for dinner, followed by an ice-cream cone from Laura Secord in the mall. When I got most of the way through the cone, as always, I started to feel sick (due to gastric bypass). I told hubby this, and he urged me stop eating and throw the cone in the garbage so I didn’t feel even worse. I said no and quickly went to gobble up the rest of the ice-cream but at the same time he lunged for the cone and grabbed it out of my hand. LOL! Hilariously people were watching and probably think I am an abused wife. In reality I am a dumb wife who insists on consistently eating ice-cream even though it makes me violently ill! It’s only been 18 years since I got gastric bypass, I am still learning! 😉 I have to go to Toronto today so I don’t think I’ll get all my steps in, unfortunately. I put a note in my phone to go walk at lunch, so that should help a bit. I better get my butt in gear. Have a great day, folks!
    4/13 – 139.6 lbs - Train to Toronto. Walked at lunch. Subway for dinner. Took the dog to the beach after work – I think it was his first time ever seeing a beach or a lake and he was pretty timid, but did well! He loves his rubber chickens, so we would throw one a little ways into the lake and he would gingerly go in almost to his belly to fetch it. It was super cute. We will get him used to it. 😊 But more Pitbull than Lab in that dog, I think! Lol.
    4/14 – 138.6 lbs – So, I haven’t been logging my calories for a few days now. I mean I start out okay in the morning, and lunch goes well, but then everything goes crazy around dinner time. And then I end up “deleting” the entries for the day because I didn’t log dinner and it’s not “perfect” so therefore it shouldn’t exist at all. Lol. Oops. Yes, I am a bit crazy, if you haven’t noticed yet! Anyhow, given that I haven’t really been paying attention, I am SHOCKED that the scale is down. That is bizarre. And I’m not dehydrated, because I think I did drink enough yesterday. So it could potentially catch up to me tomorrow or the next day, but hubby leaves for San Diego today so I have 12 days to work off what I may have gained while he was home. (I was actually thinking yesterday that maybe it should just be a thing that I don’t log calories when he is home, or at least don’t get stressed if I don’t log the entire day.) Today I have a call scheduled with my new running coach after work, to discuss the plan she has created for me. I am to start the plan on Sunday. I will give you updates on how it goes! 😊
    4/15 – 139.8 lbs – Well, there is that bounce-back I was expecting. Funny how even though I know it’s going to happen and I’m fully expecting it, it’s still disappointing when you get on the scale and see a bump up. Even though my logical brain knows it is fine, and normal, and also connected to the fact that I haven’t been logging, my emotional side still feels it. That is part of what I am working on, tho, is to not be so emotionally attached to what the scale says. (Down = happy for the day, up = sad.) I had my first session with my new running coach yesterday. She had made up a training schedule for me (incorporating a bunch of exercises to strengthen my knees, warmup/cool down, my strength training days at the gym, etc.). It was very nice to chat with her and she is very motivating. I was supposed to start my new schedule tomorrow but I was too excited and started today. Lol. To start out, she has me running for one minute and then walking for one minute. I was supposed to go for about 45 minutes. I thought there was no friggin way I was doing to be able to do 1:1. But you know what, I was actually surprised at how well I did! Was it perfect? Nope. Sometimes I had to walk for 2 minutes, sometimes the dog had to stop to pee, sometimes we got to a bumpy spot on the sidewalk, or it was a dark place or whatever (we left at 4:40 AM). But overall it was pretty fun and I was excited by my ability. I have spent my entire life believing that my body was “less than” and not capable. If you have daughters, please teach them that this is complete and utter BS. Anyway, I did a 80 minute route. I used my Fitbit timer function, which counted down from 1 minute and then vibrated when it was time to stop walking and start running. I felt a bit dizzy when I got home; maybe dehydrated. It was fun! 😊
