Oh yay! I finally got back in here! It was telling me community wasn't available for a few days.
I'm Kristi 43, I live in Washington state. I'm married with 3 kids and the kids are busy with sports right now. I work part time as a school occupational therapist.
I restarted my weight loss journey in May and Im getting close to the 30lb mark. It's time of the month so not sure the water weight will be off by tomorrow's weigh in.
I'm doing a 6 week challenge with my weight loss coach. It's pretty competitive, so I need a perfect score to win a share of the prize money. I'm 2 and a half weeks in and I still have a perfect score. I just need to workout still tonight. I don't want to but I will anyways.

@YinxFed how exciting to know your son and his wife will be visiting soon. It will be hard not to count down the days!
@Gidgitgoescrzy oh my goodness that is STRESSFUL! It seems like you're coping well but I would be so peeved if my boss did something like that and expected me to fix it. Oof. On the plus side you're doing so well and it's been inspiring!
@maddawgmadsen it's a bummer you're not feeling well. Working with a migraine is awful. Hopefully you're feeling better before your bowling tournament.
@conleywoods that competition seems really motivating! How awesome to have so much support and encouragement.
Some things went well today and other things could've been better. I had a kinda big breakfast so I got an Avocolada smoothie from Tropical Smoothie cafe with protein powder added to serve as my lunch. I felt good about choosing a smoothie with veggies and a decent amount t of protein, but after I started drinking it I realized I forgot to ask for no sugar added 🙃 those smoothies have sooo much sugar anyway, it seems excessive to add sugar imo. Anyway, I limited myself to half the smoothie to limit my sugar intake.
I did go for a short walk today. I tried doing some weights at home but didn't last long. I was tired from poor sleep and had a stressful day at work so was emotionally drained as well. I hoped that if I got started doing weights it would motivate me to keep going, but it didn't.
I had a bit of a sweets craving so I chose half of a homemade protein muffin instead of one of the Little Debbie's my mom left here when she babysat the kids. I'm proud of myself for not giving in to the desire to stress eat. I've asked my mom countless times not to leave stuff like that here but she does it anyway 😒 oh well, more opportunity to practice coping with cravings i suppose.

So all things considering, on monday the scale said 157 after a particularly bad weekend, I am very happy, week 1 in the green … Done…
In regards to the Bonus thing, to me that wasn't really a big deal, it was only a few hours and it was an honest mistake, I personally found it kinda funny. I think that is why they ask me to do those type of bad news things, is because they know I don't let that type of stuff get to me, I think I am one of the only people in the office who will admit to making mistakes, everyone else wants to blame someone else, and *kitten* and moan, and I'm just like, ooops I'll fix it and move on… I was not always that way, it's a new thing, I used to care alot more, take everything personally and expected perfection.
Anyway, yesterday was good, I did not meet my step count, because it was stretch day, so yoga doesn't give very many steps. But food was good. Husband comes home tonight so this becomes the hard part. I did take some chicken out, and I bought peppers, I had the intention of making fajitas, but I think instead I will make a casserole of some sort, I'm thinking chicken, peppers and rice. Or I might make some chicken enchilada soup, but I am not sure it's cool enough for that yet.
Have a wonderful day !

Darn! I was hoping to get the extra water weight off. Almost made it!

@ashleycarole86 Great weigh in this week!
@Gidgitgoescrazy Hooray for your awesome weigh in too. I know you were pretty mad at your scale earlier in the week.
@YinxFed How fun to have your kids come for a visit! That will be so fun!
@jguldi11 That's so frustrating when you order food and think you did so good, just to realize you forgot to ask for less sugar.
I'm so glad it's the weekend. Work has been fine but the kids sports schedule has been extra busy. It just feels like a lot of running around 🤪 I know these days won't last forever.
