Weight lost/gained this week: -2.7

Successes/struggles this week:
Struggles: Lots of stress (I don't stress-eat any more, but I can tell my body hangs onto the weight when I am stressed... blasted cortisol!)
On the 'Successes' side: I've been mindful about managing my stress - walking, knitting, hanging out with my goofball dog - and, as a result, I got the 'whoosh' I've been waiting for! (Which means Onederland for me!!!)

Yaaaa Onederland, Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weight lost/gained this month: 1.8 lb

Successes/struggles this week:
Good news: did really well with exercise this week and it was fantastic. I even opened myself to exciting opportunities such as hiking through a national park. I struggled with the steep inclines/declines but not nearly as much as I would have with the extra 30lbs! I have invested in some hiking boots (dual purpose as winter snow boots) and already planned next weekend's hike!
Not so good news: My mood has been very low and while exercise helped a little, I gave in to emotional eating and drinking which was caused by self-loathing. My focus this week is soul-nourishing activities and productive thoughts. My self-loathing thoughts are unproductive, ruin my weight loss efforts and do not help me be the loving, compassionate and hardworking person that I want to be.

Weight lost/gained this week: I'm checking in a bit late. Yesterday I had only lost .6 but today my weight dropped to 148.6 which would be a 2 pound loss.
Weight lost/gained this month: As of today, about 4 pounds.

Successes/struggles this week: I'm not sleeping well. For a brief period of time, I was falling asleep early and waking early with no problem. But now I am falling asleep by 1am, later than normal, and waking up between 4 and 5:30 and not falling asleep again until for an hour or more. It's wearing me out.

Good morning to each of you!!
Yep, been missing - only one reason that happens: I AM EATING AND EATING AND EATING!!

Since Saturday Morning I have gained 4 lb. Do you think maybe all of my emotional, stress and sugar graving eating has made a statement? Yep it sure has
And I didn't even get to post that great new-low weight Sat morning
