Tuesday
PW: 102.3 kg (225.5 lbs)
CW: 102.8 kg (226.6 lbs)
I don’t know what happened this week. Last week I lost 1.8 kg (4 lbs) and became 2nd for the week which made me really happy! But this week I gained some of them back. I hope next week will be better…4 -
@lolakinks Annoyingly, weight loss isn't as straight forward as we would like it to be. Sometimes the number goes up despite doing the right things. This also happens a lot after a big loss. Don't worry about it too much and just keep going!3

Good morning Shape Shifters. I went for a longer walk yesterday morning and had a really good time. It was super quiet in the forest as well and I saw some fun things. In one area the trail was really wet and there were tiny baby frogs everywhere! I was careful and hope I didn't step on any of them.
Tinus started wearing his cupcake jacket. The velcro of the other one wasn't sticking very well anymore and I don't want to risk him escaping, so it was time for the next jacket. In the evening I mowed the backyard. It was a pretty good day, except for too much food. Happy Tuesday everyone

Thanks for the comment! You’re totally right, I thought that too but it is still annoying. I should focus on bigger picture.@lolakinks Annoyingly, weight loss isn't as straight forward as we would like it to be. Sometimes the number goes up despite doing the right things. This also happens a lot after a big loss. Don't worry about it too much and just keep going!

Hello Shape Shifters. It took some effort because I was just tired/lazy/not in the mood, but I managed to pull myself together and go for my walk anyway. Sadly my food was a mess again. I got a package with some new books pretty late in the evening, but I took the guide book to read in bed for a little bit. The other one is a fantasy book and I also got some new weight loss journals. I will save those for when I start weighing in again, probably in September. I was hoping to be back in August, but I still don't have control of my food and I am really upset with myself. Happy Wednesday everyone

The daily card:As humans, we often find it much easier to focus on the negative than the positive. It is so easy to overlook the good things in our lives, especially if they are a constant. List all the good things around you and you may be surprised at how many you can come up with. Do this regularly and you will find your mindset swtiching from noticing the negative to the positive in every day.

@Pupowl - Thank you for posting the daily card. I think today’s card offers us a very concrete step to shifting our mindset. I’m trying very hard to take positive actions in my local community because a wider lens (e.g., country & world) is depressing me. So, this is a good reminder for me to list the many positive aspects of my life and concentrate on small steps that build understanding, dialogue, and relationships with one another.
I can definitely relate to the shame that we often attach to our food struggles. Whether it’s binge eating, emotional eating, or some other manifestation of an underlying issue that causes us to stray from our healthy nutrition plan, I think we can all agree that shame is unhelpful and only adds to our discomfort. I’ve been dealing with some feelings of shame because I couldn’t maintain my goal weight, and then I moved back into the over-weight BMI category for my height. I’m refocusing on the few pounds I need to lose so I can get back to the ‘normal’ range, which feels more manageable now When I feel overwhelmed, it leads to a negative cycle, intensifying the bad feelings. I’m confident that I’m back on track now but the periods of shame and uncertainty are so difficult and I wish I could express those fears when I’m dealing with them instead of trying to overcome those hurdles alone. I’m trying though! — I’ll expand on that more later.
Best wishes, everyone!

~ I’m working on cleaning up my Note templates I use for these challenges. Did some extreme overestimating for Sunday’s carb and calorie counts because I really didn’t log that day…and I feel like watching my daily average go down encourages me to push forward.1 - Net Calories ( 5720 / 10500 )

@Krysless2 I don't see where you signed up at the beginning of the month. WTG on your efforts this week, but let's wait until the first of August and remember to sign up right before the month begins, which will be on Sun, Aug 4th. See you then!

Hope everyone is having a good week, I've been keeping up with my workouts, but still struggling with my food intake. Been hot lately, so the kids and I have gone swimming a lot. Also been doing that alot because my son has surgery tomorrow and won't be able to swim for a couple weeks. I'm super over the hear though. I k ow it's mild compared to some places but I'm in Montana and the 95 to 105 temps sucks bad, lol3

Hello, Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report —
Name: PatriceFitnessPal
Weigh-in Day: Thursday
PW: 148.5
CW: 147.2
SW: 168
LtD: 20.8
Ultimately, my target weight range is 125-130 but my current goal is 140 pounds, which will bring me out of the ‘overweight’ BMI category into the top range of the ‘normal’ range. I know the BMI measure is not right for everyone but it feels accurate for me. So, it’s the easiest gauge for me to find a number that complements the way I feel. I also use my ‘jump rope test’ which sounds funny but helps me measure progress.2 -
@PatriceFitnessPal I am glad the card yesterday was helpful! I feel the same as you about the bigger picture. I stopped checking the news online years ago because it really affected my mood in a bad way. I also sometimes think "it doesn't matter what I do, it doesn't make a difference anyway" but that isn't true either. It makes a difference to me and I do what makes me feel better, even though my contribution is small. And a lot of people doing something small, will make a difference.
Weight loss is hard. I don't think there are many people who lost weight, made it to goal and stayed there forever on their first try. I have bounced up and down a few times. Undoing all your bad habits takes a lot of practice and vigilance. It is really easy to beat yourself up over it, but I also try to put it into perspective. Gaining some weight back isn't the worst thing in the world, it doesn't make you a bad person. Other things in life are so much more important. And we also have the knowledge that we have done it before, so we know we can do it again! 2 -
Hello Shape Shifters. Got another morning walk in yesterday, surprise. I am glad that the walking seems to be turning into a habit again. I just really need to be out of the house in the morning otherwise there is a 99% chance I will go to the store and buy a lot of food. Having a good walk first thing, sets me up so much better for a great day. It is going to be really hot here tomorrow and Saturday, but I should still be fine going for a walk. I did hang up the shade cloths again to make sure it doesn't get too crazy inside the house. I also went to the grocery store to stock up on salads, I did some gaming and reading. Happy Thursday everyone
