@Garbagegang - I'm proud of you too, hard enough to resist favourite treats, but when DH is eating them !! You are a star.

Thank you! It was hard but it really lit a fire under me to keep it up!

@Garbagegang ugh my bulging disc is something I will have to address in the future. [/quote]

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. Do you find the pain gets worse then eases and gets better? My first experience with the radiculopathy was in November. Talk about a shot in the butt! Yow!!

@jspecies11 - so sorry to hear your sad news, it must be very difficult for you to not be able to travel to your family, sending comforting hugs

deepwoodslady

@jspecies11 I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your BIL. I hope that you and the entire family will find some comfort in the memories of him.

My condolences @jspecies11 I can imagine the distance and the circumstances makes it doubly difficult. Sending hugs and good energy 🙏🏾 to you and your family.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 260 (my 190th). So grateful @Quiltingjaine for another round.
Goals for this round; to lose! To be consistent and lose something; to get back into the 130s, should be able to break that 140 barrier now! Strive to have a feeding frenzy free round😊. Good luck everyone for success.

Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 260
5/16 140 – (trend 140.3) 10.75 miles walked, all exercise calories eaten back.
5/17 141.6 – (trend 140.5) no structured walking, child minding little DGS.
5/18 140.8 – (trend 140.5) 8.24 miles walked, just over ¾ exercise calories eaten back
5/19 140.4 – (trend 140.5) no structured walking, 400 calories over. Spent the day at theme park with little DGC & their parents, so on our feet all day, we all had a brilliant day! Special memories >3
5/20 140 – (trend 140.4) 15.21 miles walked, but to be honest the last 2 or so miles were gardening ones! Planting, weeding, re-siting some plants and watering, less than 25% of exercise calories eaten back. Halfway through the round & at the end of last round weight.
5/21 139.2 (trend 140.3) 9.17 miles walked, 42% exercise calories eaten back. Endeavor to keep hold of this number ‘til the end of the round.


5/22 139.2 – (trend 140.1) 9.13 miles walked, 40% exercise calories eaten back.
5/23 139.2 – (trend 140) no structured walking yesterday, heavy rain all day ☹, within calories.
5/24 140.2 – (trend 140) no structured walking, child minding little DGS, calories over. Disappointed with this number, but this is what happens when there is no structured walking for 2 days, at least it is due to that and not a binge. Treating todays weight as the end date for the round as this morning we leave for a dance weekend in a hotel. No control on food preparation but will endeavour to make sensible choices & there will be lots of dancing, over the Bank Holiday weekend.

@Garbagegang my back is complicated and I’ll spare you the details but yes, that stupid disc never exactly heals and flares up if I’m not super careful. My profession as a gardener is brutal on my back.
I’ve worked with my spine Dr and a physical therapist on my movements through the day, literally from how I get out of bed in the morning to how I drive a car to how I sleep at night.

I work super hard on my core strength. My back is the worst if I rest too much. We say “motion is the lotion and too much rest makes me rust”.
Even with all of this I can tell my disc is deteriorating and the flare ups happen more often.

I will share that the absolute worst back pain in my life was a few years ago when my primary put me on a statin. I got to the point where I was laying on the floor crying in pain several times a day. Turns out that in some cases statins can exacerbate spine damage. I felt better within days of going off the statin.
This is actually when I originally started my weight lose journey at 242lbs, to get my cholesterol into the healthy range. This last February as my weight was creeping up again so was my cholesterol. Again this motivated me to work on my weight to control this.

Lol this the short version of my back pain journey!!!!
My advice is to get regular X-rays and MRIs to monitor. Find a specialist who understands you and a physical therapist who can help you live your best life!

Instead I’m going to work for two hours and then take a break to go to my favorite boot camp class. And I promised my husband I would be done working, showered and on the boat by 2:30 so that we can enjoy a beautiful afternoon.
This is huge for me, prioritizing myself!

Mission: Continuous improvement of daily habits that strengthen a “Healthy, Strong & Fit” identity.

✅🏋️‍♀️20 min/ day or 30 min 4x per week. RECORD DETAIL.
✅ 🙏📝 🧐60 min 5x /week (Pray, journal, and research)
✅🥩110g -120g of protein

NSVs/Journey Reflections…. 👇🏻
********************************
👇🏻Review since my first R231

1. ✅Avg. close to 10k steps per day for 8+ mos. Not bad. It’s no longer a “daily goal” because it’s now a daily healthy habit - 👏🏻🤩
2. ✅Healthy Habit: 🙆‍♀️ I stretch daily and that has greatly improved my attitude & confidence.
3. ✅HH: I play 🎾about 4-5x per week.
4. ✅HH: Z2 💕avg 60 min/day
5. ✅HH: zero to 10g of net carbs/ day
6. ✅🥩MAD 110-120g Protein (Mostly Animal Diet-CLEAN)
7. ✅HH Naturally IF 18/6. Eating window=noon to 6PM.
8. ✅💦80oz daily
9. ✅Alcohol limited to rare occasions.

Tremendous progress since last July, but still “skinny-fat”. I want 🏋️‍♀️to become a healthy habit too. … 🏋️‍♀️20 min per day or 30 min 4x per week. I need to continue to journal📝 and to strive to ID unhelpful habits & replace with helpful ones.

Staying in the present moment is key to mental health and healthy choices.

In my dreams, I want to be 130 lbs with a HARD body… 😎 But let’s face it, this could be unattainable and/or unsustainable, but I’ll give it my best … It’s a 🥕! I don’t know how long it will take. Also, consuming 110g to 120g of protein per day is now a non-negotiable.

Let’s do R260 !!🙌🏻

Slept like a rock last night. 😀Groin is better but still not 💯. I’m hoping it to be well enough for 🎾tomorrow. I was able to walk five miles yesterday. A little 🏋️‍♀️. Read several hrs yesterday. Again, I recommend Atomic Habits (Clear), the Habit Mechanic (Finn) and a new release “Good Energy” by Casey Means, MD.

Cant believe 30, THIRTY rounds! I can honestly say that I’m energized again… And looking forward to digging in this round! I can also say this is the first time in my life, my entire life, feeling safe and secure on this health journey. I know in my soul this is who I am. I’m no longer the gal that has struggled with her 🎢 weight and choices her entire life…. I am a new person DAILY prioritizing health and fitness. Wow! Kinda hesitant to write that down…. But…. ONWARD! Ok ok ok, gotta see it, B E L I E VE it and work it! Let’s go! 💪🏻🏋️‍♀️🙌🏻

Pulling for all of you! Will continue enjoying coffee ☕️ with you each morning!

Good day. Interesting fact read in “Good Energy”: brisk walk 10x per day /6 min is = MORE benefits than one, one hr walk. Same for🏋️‍♀️. Called “snacking”. Will try today!

Haven’t seen 129ish since late 2023. I think it’s from inactivity & an incredible night’s sleep. Instead of one long walk, I walked four times yesterday to reach 5 miles. I enjoyed it.

🏋️‍♀️”snacking” didn’t work because of an emotional interruption… 🤬🥲 I’m determined for today to be positive. I will stay in the present moment and listen to Norman!
(DH is gone for the weekend with a handful of his high school buddies… They do this once a year… He always has a wonderful time!) Major thunderstorms today. Planning on challenging resistance band sessions & 🏋️‍♀️ throughout the day & steak tonight! [Oh, my groin is a little better, but it is still limiting my movement a great deal - can tell it’s getting better each day. ] This is the longest I’ve gone without playing tennis in at least 10 years… Hoping to LIVE and enjoy a really good day today. Come ON! 💪🏻

Good things to share:
1. Yesterday I started off gung-ho and then I got caught spending too much time surfing Amazon/piddling but I was able to get in two 10-minute 🏋️‍♀️ “snacks” and a 4.5 mi walk. How? I just let the day pass by and finally after my 4 o’clock steak, I asked myself who the heck am I? And I literally responded to myself… “Fit, healthy & strong”. What would a “healthy, fit & strong” person with a groin injury do right now? … A long brisk walk! I literally embraced this new identity… It was a wild feeling! Akin to WWJD? What would HFSD?! My new inner-voice of encouragement. It was such a mind game… Going back-and-forth between slouch or HFS? While walking, I just gave myself so many affirmations. It was empowering & uplifting.
2. “White Noise” App. A friend of mine recommended this app weeks ago, and I’ve been putting it off. Several nights ago I started listening to “Rain”. For the last three nights, I have slept like a baby… Nature Sounds. There are a gazillion apps similar to this… This one’s very basic and I’ve hit a jackpot.
Unfortunately, my groin is still bothering me so I ordered a compression strap to see if it would help and I’ve started icing it several times a day… some relief. I have a tennis match scheduled for Tuesday and I’m concerned I’ll have to cancel it…
Have a disciplined day!

Feeling strong but back to 4 hrs sleep. I listened to a babbling brook instead of rain… going back to rain tonight! Keeping positive!

Actually picked up a tennis racket and played for about an hour yesterday. I think I’m good to go… I feel like I’m about 98%.
Excellent 🏋️‍♀️✅

NSV: I’ve been naturally not eating till about noon every day… (water & coffee when I wake). Enjoying ☕️ now…. Keeping my eating window from noon to 6 PM continues to work well. I pretty much eat the same thing every day… Fresh Eggs/avocado/sometimes cheese @noon- Throw in a little bacon every now and then, then, some kind of protein and maybe high protein greek yogurt & a few fresh berries later (around 3pm), a protein shake and then more protein at 5:30pm. Zero calories from liquids. Boring is good. Actually, I can then spend time with other priorities … I spend a whole lot less time at the grocery store and planning meals…. I don’t know if I’m gaining muscle or not but my clothes continue to feel loose. My identity “HSF” starting to click. Mindset is “present” and positive (for now anyway). ONWARD!

Solid day but surprisingly, I was actually hungry all day… Quite unusual & didn’t drink my usual water. Had a vodka /soda at bridge last night. Didn’t sleep well again. My DH is taking my DGS and friend camping 🏕️ tonight at local state park for end-of-school year boys night. My hubby is brave. They’ll have so much fun! So glad they are making memories. Cant wait to hear the stories!

⚖️ uptick can’t be from what I ate… Steady uptick this round not sure why except it’s my “range” I can only surmise it’s from not sleeping…. Listened to “rain” again last night, and it worked till about 3:45.

Honestly, not a bad day yesterday just not a good+ day… My energy levels were down with several mood swings but all in all it wasn’t bad - just not able to create a level of positivity that I want.

My consulting role is pausing for three months (summer break). I really enjoyed it and so I will miss it. Client is understaffed with a stagnant culture. There won’t be any improvements unless their culture changes … What you do /prioritize every day is who you are and things won’t improve unless habits change/improve. Sound familiar? Daily habits AGAIN!

I’ll make today a good day! I have a tennis match early this morning (it’s been 17 days!!!!) and then I will pump some iron 🏋️‍♀️immediately following! Hopefully groin will survive 💪🏻. DH coming home mid-day after the camp out! Let’s finish 💪🏻💦!

So I ended the last round with a nice little drop, which gives me a challenge to better it in this round. I am surprised this morning was not higher due to my mini binge last night on totally inappropriate snacks.
Today’s challenge? Rotary meeting lunch is lasagna and bread sticks. Sheesh. If I am smart, I will just have a big plate of salad.

5/17: 222.2
/logged; exercised; not enough “drank”/
There is a reason. Yes, I ate the lasagna for lunch, but not a big portion. Yes, I went to Culver’s for supper and had a Tenderloin Basket. DGS 7th birthday celebration yesterday. DS made a cake “from scratch” for the birthday.

Overall calories were maxed out, not over. But worse was the salt. And, I got up at 3:30. Couldn’t sleep……

I am smoking a pork shoulder or two this weekend. We have 16 people coming over for dinner on Sunday evening. All I can say is the weather better be good so we can expand to the outdoors. Thinking about smoking some mac’n’cheese too. I have never done that at home, but have had it at a restaurant.

5/18: 220.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
I need to bring water more to the top of my mind. Today we get picky about the house and yard in preparation for our dinner party tomorrow.

5/20: DNW
/Nope; Yes; ?/
Big day yesterday so I didn’t pay attention to logging. Got plenty of exercise.

DW hid the bathroom scale from our guests so I couldn’t do my normal routine this morning. She is still sleeping as I write, so… just as well. I think I would be weighing everything I ate in the last 24 hours. Too much Information I know.

Off to the eye Dr. this morning. Yesterday I experienced a sudden “floater.” Still with me this morning. Kinda big, so I am having it looked at.

5/21: 218.6
/logged; exercised; 78 oz water/
I will gladly take this fluke reading.

Well, the “floater” in my eye is just that. A floater. Too much detail to go into here, but when they took a look inside, they thought it best to see a retinal specialist. There was no sense of alarm, just concern. Meanwhile, I need to learn to live with my new companion, the floater. Perhaps I should give him a name. No way to eliminate him. We need to learn how to get along. I think they can break them up with a laser, but they are not eliminated.

I think I will name him Nemo.

5/22: 218.6
/logged; exercised; 78 oz water/
Going to travel four hours to see my 34-year-old DD for a couple days. Her birthday is today. Can’t believe she is that old already. When she was a little girl, I used to ask her on each birthday if she would please just repeat another year without getting older. I saw this coming.

She was born on the year of the 17-year locust. So weird. So this is her third emergence (though she can’t remember the first.) Where she lives, south of us, they are out. They should be hitting here soon.

Anyway, today we will eat out twice, and then a couple times tomorrow. Tonight is a favorite tapas restaurant, which means you only eat a little bit… of 20 things.

5/15: 219.8

Great time with DD. Regarding my under 220 goal… “missed it by that much.” I need to get smart.

Prev Days:(added Cliff’s Notes):

• Thu 5/23🟢166.2; +.9lbs
  ~ Post TMI was 164.6(that was cool seeing that proceeding 4… I haven’t seen those numbers in 1.5 years!)
  ~ Survived my brother’s grad-night dinner and I’m sure the sodium count caused the bump up. I stayed away from alcohol and still had a nice time.
  I counted the hours of walking all over the parking lot and the fair grounds stadium stairs as a total of 30 minutes of exercise + plus the 30 mins of ACTUAL exercise in the morning.
• Wed 5/22🟢165.3; -.7lbs
  ~ Got a couple of those “did you lose weight???” exclamations when I went to my strength training class at Planet Fitness. Either I was wearing the right outfit or I hit that threshold where people start to notice. Either way, felt nice to have my efforts to being acknowledged. #feelingencouraged
• Tue 5/21🟢166; -.6lbs
  ~ Ate more than I should have but still stayed under goals .. barely. Had a small smidge of a gummy which probably contributed to my appetite
• Mon 5/20🟢166.6; +.9lbs
  ~ Needed a rest day yesterday
• Sun 5/19🟢165.7; -.7lbs
  ~ The poker game was successful and the food wasn’t tempting in the slightest .. and there was a good salad option. I drank 6 or 7 Mich-Ultras last night. I logged ahead and overestimated (just in case) I also stayed on my treadmill instead of my couch, while I binge watched a tv show. (Roughly 3 hours)
• Sat 5/18🟢166.4;-.9lbs
  ~ I tossed and turned, trying to go to sleep last night.. considered a snack but ultimately decided not to sabotage my weigh in this morning. So proud of me! ☺️
  ~ Today I have another poker game and the food will be questionable. I’m going to tryyy not to drink alcohol but it’s so hard as it helps calm my nerves at the start of the game.

2. Walk 6k+ steps
3. Daily food logs

5/17 222.4
5/18 223.4 late night meal wasn’t such a good idea

5/19 223.6 it’s not a loss but I’m okay with this. Lower activity yesterday and I realized yesterday that I need to up my water intake. I’m only drinking half what I thought was. I have a new goal for the next round.

5/20 223.4 graduation festivities are over. Hoping to get on track for some solid weight loss the rest of the month.

5/21 221.6 yesterday was a good day. Hoping to replicate today.

5/22 222.2

5/23 222.0 happy the trend is down and not stable or up. I have to keep reminding myself slow and steady = lifestyle changes I can maintain.

5/24 221.8 If this trend of .2 pounds a day continues, I'll be happy. Only one more day of this round and it looks like I'll finish with an end weight lower than my start. Given the up and down of the scale, I'm good with the result.

I’m sore this morning from weeding yesterday, but I’m headed out for more. The fun never stops!

5/17 - 196.8
Oops. Snacked last night. Will try to do better today. 😁

5/18 - 197.4
Double oops. Didn’t do better yesterday, obviously. I’ll try today.

5/19 - 197
A couple of hours weeding and transplanting in the hot sun yesterday actually reduced my appetite. Maybe I can lose my winter fat now! I thought I’d share a pic of my happy clematis. It’s beginning to look a lot like summer!

5/20 - 196.6
Wow, we jumped straight from chilly rainy to hot and humid. Flowers are happy, weeds are happier! Happy Monday, all!

5/21 - 197.6
That’s lunch out yesterday. Oh well. Healthy menu planned today, plus at least a couple of hours of garden work.

5/22 - 197.4
Mostly healthy food yesterday, but DH asked for cake, so I baked a lovely strawberry cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting, and of course I had to be sure it was up to snuff. It was! 😳 🍓 Menu for today is healthy, low-calorie, and I’m taking pieces of cake to friends, leaving just enough for DH. Off to agility class with Charlie in a bit.

5/23 - 197.6
Ugh. Oh well. Just keep on keepin on. Hopefully I can still end the round even or down a little.

05/23 -185.6- (Trend weight186.9) I was expecting an uptick today. Although I stayed within my calories (eating up part of my exercise calories) my carbs were over by about 10 due to the pasta/lasagna. I have leftovers for today (for lunch) so I don’t know if it all will finally catch up to me or if I can get away with it. I plan on making sure my dinner is lower carb to offset it all. Probably bacon & eggs today as a breakfast for dinner. I’m trying to use up some of the food in my freezer. Or shall I say “Freezers”. I have 3 of them and they are all over-full. There is no reason I can’t be mindful of my macros and still eat food I already have. I’m usually careful about my shopping choices anyway. I will have to pre-plan and pre-log for sure. My weight is slowly going in the right direction and I don’t want to compromise that.

05/24 -183.4- (Trend weight186.6) I’m not sure that I completely believe this 2.2 lb drop overnight. I have dropped that much in a 24 hour period before but it seems extreme to have two large drops in the same week. I did burn a lot of extra calories yesterday with a workout video in the morning and then an hour of raking and hauling leaves but it is still questionable. I have another scale that does not give me as much information so I tested that one too. It’s usually about .2 to .4 higher than my daily scale but this time it was .8 more and at nearly a pound different I am definitely questioning today’s reading. I guess tomorrow will tell. Wishing you all a great weekend. Be safe, have fun, and remember our fallen heros and those we have lost and love.

05/24 - 147.7 - Hovering here and that's okay. Yesterday was busy. Had to cut workout short halfway through due to elbow pain that got worse (we were doing arms so I just stopped and walked on the treadmill while BF finished the workout alone). Then rushed to get ready so we could see our Godson graduate Kindergarten! Then busy busy busy with work the rest of the day. Today we skipped the gym since BF left this morning to go to the meetup spot to get the kids for summer. After this post, I'm going to research some at-home booty exercises (Fridays are low back/hips/booty) I can do as a little work break through this afternoon so I can at least say I did something. I did walk the dogs earlier and I'll likely go again after lunch to enjoy the weather. Very overcast but no signs of rain/storms. It's warm, though, and helps keep me a bit more awake/focused in the afternoon if I take a lunch walk break. Dogs love it, too, when it's not too hot. Meals planned for next week and grocery list made - going to get groceries after work today since I'm off a bit earlier (8hr day) and that way I don't feel rushed tomorrow since BF and kids will get home in the early afternoon. I have meals planned/logged for today, tomorrow, and Monday already to meet my macros! I'm feeling pretty dang good. Monday may be a wash if my macros get adjusted but my lunch is a filler - I'm not sure if we'll do lunch together or not so I just put something in there in case I'm on my own I have something pre-logged. Feeling pretty confident I can get through this adjustment period with the kiddos while still staying on track.

Previous Day's Comments

05/16 - I'm guessing a TOM-related blip. I felt really bloated this morning although I got rid of many of the other (more annoying/painful) pre-TOM symptoms so I won't complain at all! Hopefully I'm now on the recovery side of things and I can resume normalcy in the next day or two. Arm workout this morning. Lower weight with higher reps due to already having done a smaller bit of biceps on Tuesday and triceps yesterday. More to push lactic acid and get some muscular endurance. I'm not sure if I'm going to go tomorrow- BF was talking about knocking out squats but then trying to get in on the hydro-massage to help with his shoulder (he had injections due to partial tears he's trying to heal from. Surgeon said to keep working out within reason). Since his alarm wakes me up anyway, I may go and, if I'm not feeling up to it, I can walk on the treadmill or pedal on the bike until he's done. The hydro-massage isn't a guarantee so it could be a short visit anyway. Last day of fully prepped meals. I have one more lunch for tomorrow but dinner will be improvised. I pre-planned for fish but we shall see what BF is feeling so I can log that and lunch to figure out snacks to meet macros!

05/20 - Recovery from TOM and the weekend - I didn't go crazy, but I wasn't as disciplined as I am during the week. I did end up going to the gym on Friday and felt better for doing so. Today I wasn't so sore and fatigued so I pushed hard and was able to increase weights a bit - progress! I haven't gotten my check in responses from Coach yet, so still waiting to see if macros or other goals have changed. We get the kiddos at the end of the week (they'll be home Saturday) so there will be more movement and a tad more struggle when it comes to macros (no meal prepping dinner so will have to plan as best I can ahead). It's worth it, though!
05/21 - Bumped back down despite feeling oh so full yesterday. This is good. My Coach adjusted my macros so I'm reducing carbs and fats (and subsequently calories) a bit more to get into a good cut based on my feedback (that I'm noticing my muscle growth now that I'm getting enough protein, yippee!). I'd love to lose a bit more of the fat layer so my muscles shine through a bit more (get that toned look) before the beach but that's in a bit less than a month and I don't know if I can safely and reasonably lose that much fat around my tummy, hips, and legs in that time. At least there's hope for my birthday when we take an island trip. I can look good then if nothing else!
05/22 - This is okay. I'm feeling day 2 DOMS from Monday's leg workout (increased weight) and I can feel the soreness which means I'm sure there's associated water retention in my muscles. I ended up skipping dinner and replacing it with a couple smaller-volume protein bars which got me nearly perfect on macros in replacement. I simply was not hungry at all and barely managed the bars - at least I had those on hand. Hoping today is better - I have no room in macros for any snacks but lunch and dinner leave me so full I can't fathom a snack anyway. If today leaves me feeling like yesterday, I'll need to split my dinner into 2: a portion as an afternoon snack so my dinner portion is a little more tolerable. I've got some tentative plans for next week and pre-logged what I could so far. I'll continue working on that so I know my basic 2 meals (and maybe breakfast if I've got enough wiggle room). My macros may change again Monday morning (after breakfast) based on my Sunday weekly check-in so I'll be sure I stay mindful

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.

Comments pertain to previous day

SW RND 260 133.5
5/16 134.5 Not surprised - those Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches after bingo are making me a fat girl - just kidding (only once a month)
5/17 130.5 Also not too surprised. This is what happens when I have a really good day. Drank at least 100 oz of water plus coffee and 1 Coke Zero.
5/18 133.0 Had very salty ham for OMAD “brunch” then went to “work” at DD’s school.
5/19 133.0
5/20 133.0 Worked at the school yesterday and will again today.
5/21 133.0 Support staff prepared lunch for teachers and others-first pasta and garlic bread I’ve had in about 7 years. Back to the library today.
5/22 134.0 Result of pasta and bread? DSIL brought lunch from Chipotle. I got a salad with barbacoa, cheese, guacamole-not sure 2 green pepper strips really count as fajita veg. Tomorrow night we’re going to an Italian restaurant with friends. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Back to the library today to finish up.
5/23 132.5 The library is done. Italian dinner cancelled and DH and I have a lun-net date with our friends who like Golden Corral more than we do. 🤦‍♀️ Fasting until then.
5/24 134.0 I’m okay with that blip. Chicken, pot roast, meatloaf (no ketchup). What I’m not okay with is DH saying he can’t remember anything and can’t do this to every thing he tries. Last night it was setting up his new computer. I’m feeling super stressed right now and I know that isn’t working in my favor for weight loss.
