Oh well, I did have two days of surplus calories 🙄 and I haven't done as many steps as last week nor have I done much in the way of exercise.

Weigh-in-Saturday
Previous weight: 185.3
Current weight: 185.3
Food:Apparently my brain decided that if I don't track or look at my food, nothing will happen. Turns out that's not accurate. I had weight loss (trend weight) early in the week, then climbed back up to where I started. I have been eating delicious food (and I stop when I realize I don't like something) and I'm happy about that, but I have not been monitoring my portions. I think I made some great decisions this week and had a bit of a trade off while I practiced a new skill.
Exercise:I only did a few short walks this week, but my average number of steps have been increasing. 5 days out of 7, I made 6000 steps and the other two made my goal of 4000. I will bump up to 5000 steps a day for the next week. And tomorrow I go on an overnight hike which I'm super excited about!
Mindset:I've been feeling a lot of stress over the last week with applying for a faculty position, getting the offer, and negotiating the salary. That has definitely taken priority over everything else. I've been putting hours into lesson planning, negotiating, scheduling, and comparing opportunities. It's been a brain slog.
I'm also considering going back into the doctorate program that I took a leave of absence from during COVID. Discounted tuition is part of the salary negotiations, and I'll make more money when I have the degree, but... I'm also exhausted and on the verge of burning out, so something's got to give.
Medical:I had a lymph node biopsy this week to check for cancer, and it came back with no malignant cells found, which yay! But the sample also had very few viable cells, so... inconclusive?
It was lovely to catch up and read everyone's messages. I rarely post or "react" to individual posts, but know that I appreciate when y'all share!

Our brains want to be in control. But they aren't. Weirdly, there's some research that gut health impacts brain health...so our stomachs have more control than our brains!
I've considered grad school a couple times but if I'm this tired not doing school, how would I ever manage to get school work done too?!? I feel your pain.
You should totally join the step challenge! You don't have to post daily or even by the day--you could just post the end of week number.
Congratulations on the positive test (even if it is somewhat inconclusive)! It isn't bad, so that's good!4 -
Today I went food shopping. When I got home I washed all fruit and veggies, cut them up, made a huge salad, pasta salad, chicken, meatballs and protein balls. Hopefully with this small step in meal prepping I will be off to a good start. Vacation is now officially done and back to work tomorrow.6

I’m recovering from Covid at the moment. No small feat. It’s been subtle symptoms at first, then full on cold/flu symptoms. Silver lining: Sometimes hitting the pause button is necessary. Unexpected, bad timing, absolutely. But all I can do is accept my current state and take care.4 -

Hi,
Weigh In Day: Mondays
PW (Previous Weight): 186.8lbs
CW (Current Weight): 187.0 lbs.
Fully recovered from Covid, yay!!! However, my body did take a hit from the virus, and I was not able to go to the Y. My energy seems to be back to pre-Covid, so hopefully I can start back with my exercise. I did try to stay within my calories, but since I was recovering, I tried not to be too restrictive.5 -

My weight is playing with my mind. It's been so hot here in TX that I can't tell if my weight is down because I didn't drink enough water the previous day.3 -
Weigh In Day: Tuesday

I have been super busy lately and still unable to exercise, so my body has felt achy from sitting so much. Still making slow, but steady progress which is perfect. Hope everyone is doing amazing.3 -
I totally skipped weigh in last week and, therefore, posting steps. So, here are my steps...
Sun 1000
Mon 6930
Tues 3498
Wed 3934
Thur 2972
Fri 3000
Sat 2898
Some of these are approximations, what with leaving my phone in the house while fighting my lawn mower, and doing half one day on ny feer training....
I'll hold off a bit on the strps post for stragglers.2 -

Not sure how accurate the weight loss is. Last week I weighed in at 4 in the afternoon with all my clothes on and today was first thing in the morning so I am not really all that excited. I have been eating healthy but it's not enough to help me lose that much. I also only went on 1 walk because I have been so busy coming back from vacation getting my house organized and being busy at work.4

All of our bolded steppers set a goal and met it, based on their average steps per day!
Well, this is embarrassing. I started this post Wednesday and saved it. I started to finish it like four times and kept getting interrupted (like now when my husband keeps talking when it is obvious I am doing something!).
We had one less walker last week and Most of our steps dropped a bit. That said, we still did pretty well. It was really hot where I am but cooled off this week....but the heat has now returned and it brought friends! Stay cool and keep walking!

I’m so excited to actually see some movement on the scale. I have been eating better than I used to and increased my exercise each day. It’s hard to keep doing it over again each day but seeing the scale move really motivates me.5 -

I was out with Covid for the first time, and finally tested negative on Thursday. Day 1, 2 were intense but gradually symptoms went away. Still feeling fatigue but doing much better. My eating was healthy but minimal. Soups and fruit were my go tos.
Wouldn’t wish Covid on anyone. Stay safe out there 🥰4
