@jessicakrall8 @Pupowl can you please excuse me from this weeks weigh in. It's been a rough week so far. I started two new medications since Thursday last week and one of them is giving me insomnia. I'm having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, it doesn't matter if it's over night or a nap. I'm running on 3 hours of sleep a day for the past 4 days. I stopped one of the meds yesterday and hopefully it was the cause and will be out of my system soon. I'm really struggling to not use snacking as a way to stay alert.7

Feeling crappy sucks and not the way I want to lose - my stomach still feeling iffy; in addition, my son is having 2 wedding receptions - 1 in IL next Friday for her relatives and friends that couldn't make it and 1 in WI next Saturday for our side - same deal & then my mom's memorial service is next Sunday 😢9 -
@CasandraW That sucks about the medication. Not being able to sleep well has such a big impact on daily life. Hoping with you it will be resolved soon! Cool that you like the tracker. Let me know if you want me to change anything for your printed version! If I am reading it right, you aren't able to edit it yourself.3

@daffygirl88 thank you for the thoughtful reply and support
October is nearing. I did my last weigh-in for September, so looking ahead my goal heading into November is to be 180 lbs. For my weekly weigh-ins, I'd like for my 4th/last weigh-in for October to be 185-181 lbs. This would 1-2 lbs of loss a week.
I've got jeans sitting in a drawer that I used to fit in a couple years ago. They should fit soon.

@CasandraW sending you hugs. I wish you restful sleep soon and hope you are able to resolve the medication disruption soon.
@LaurieWrobo sending you hugs as well, hope all goes peacefully and with as little stress as possible. Feel better!

So it just dawned on me that I forgot to log in last week, ugh. It's been a long week. All my kids are sick, I was sick last week, I picked up a bunch of shifts, took my friend to the ER, my husband has stuff going on, I just forgot, ugh.

Great job, @iradi8! You’re almost down 50 pounds! That must feel great. Keep up the good work! 🎉🎉🎉3

@angmarie28 - I hope you can carve out a bit of time for yourself each day. Do you have any morning or evening rituals you can try?
Personally, I’m not very good at this but I’m trying to spend about 20 minutes in the morning centering myself with a cup of coffee and some little rituals — read a newspaper columnist I like, play one quick word game, look at the day ahead on my phone calendar, and check MFP. At night, I wash my face and put on some lotion with intention before brushing my teeth. It seems simple but I still need to improve the nighttime habit — though I never miss brushing my teeth!
I wonder why some habits are so ingrained and others take more work. Does anyone else have a daily ritual that is going well? — or one you want to improve?
My brother-in-law plays the piano shortly after he arrives home after work as way to transitIon to family time. Then, he and my sister cook together. They have so many positive habits! There are many things I’d like to work into my day so I’m not giving up!
Best wishes, ShapeShifters!

@PatriceFitnessPal I love what your brother-in-law and sister do. I never really had routines like that. Perhaps I'll think about creating one for the morning. As for the almost 50 pounds gone... it's so weird. I don't feel like I've lost that much. I guess because it is slow going. Tonight I put on some jeans that I haven't worn in a while because I've been wearing shorts. It's very hot where I live. My goodness! They were falling off of me. I was shocked because I didn't realize there was that much of a difference in my body:)
@Pupowl I am doing my first 100 day challenge right now. I find that it is really helping me with the daily posting of my weight. I can see the pattern of ups and downs. It gives me insight as to what is working and what isn't.5 -
Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was a wet and yucky day and I loved it. No walk, so I had to do a workout at home. I did a 10k step one from Improved Health that she recently released. -> This one <- It didn't feel too hard, but it was a bit slow, especially the last 15 minutes. I just increased the pace a bit which helped. I got 9.670 steps from the workout so it was close enough. My pink winterboots arrived and they are really cute. I love them. I don't expect we will get much snow, but I needed something I can easily pull on and off for walking Tinus or going to the store since I only have sandals besides my walking shoes. I did my gym rings workout in the evening and I decided to hang up the bug net for over my bed again. The previous night I had 6 mosquitos which made my sleep really crappy. Tinus has not been wanting to sleep upstairs with me yet, so the bug net isn't really a problem. Happy Thursday everyone

I'm sure I will ^_^ I'm not sure whether to do a 'proper' introduction now or wait until the October thread, so I figured cat admiration was a safe bet in the meantime lol6

@iradi8 What a great achievement! And a nice NSV!4 -
@LenGray welcome to the team!
@iradi8 - I love that feeling of putting on a pair of pants that are loose. Helps me realize how far I've come. I can't necessarily see the loss in the mirror. The scale has been slow going. But when I put those jeans on I can see all the progress in that moment, I find it to be inspiring to keep going. Progress!6 -

@LenGray welcome! I'm fairly new but I like this team a lot so far and already seeing good progress!
I'm developing the new habit of wearing my watch soon as I get up and about to track steps and it also shows me my estimated daily calorie burn. Watching the numbers is a huge eye-opener. Now I am getting clarity on the little habits that need fixing here and there. Like the mid-afternoon two heaps of peanut butter or just shaking the bottle of balsamic vinaigrette loaded with OIL and SALT all over my salads (no measuring whatsoever and I can go through a bottle of salad dressing in a few days because I am eating lots of healthy salads). I see I also eat in a distracted state, like while working. It's these little innocent things that land me in the OOPs I just went over in daily calories by 570, how did that happen? Throw in a small innocent handful of chocolate chip calories onto that.4 -

Thu✔️Weight 165.3Sunday: Worked out a ton
Tuesday: Over calories a tad and I think the egg foo young at the nearby Chinese restaurant uses more flour than the other ones in MFP’s diary pick-list. still trying to figure out how restrictive I want to be with my carb percentage goal. I’m toggling between 5, 10 and 15
Wednesday: Rest day. Prepared for the hurricane coming. Not too worried since we are more inland in Florida. But still.. this is the first year where we actually have an out door pool and screened enclosure to protect so we’re just a tad on edge about that. Did our best!!
Pictures of Hurricane prep🤞🤞
