@Rejsgirl, so glad the echo showed everything being normal!
@Kenda2427, so sorry for your furbaby! I hope that the medication does indeed make him comfortable. *big hugs*
@danelutza19, glad the day went well for you overall. The movement of the scale is definitely not always predictable!
@terririchardson112, sometimes, we definitely go with our habits. And really, nothing wrong with lemon drizzle cake--perhaps just a smaller portion than in years gone by?
Very sorry for your friend's loss.
@mari_moulin, glad the cleaning is going well even if the regular workouts aren't possible. I'm sure all that work doing the cleaning is burning lots of calories! Hope your little one feels better asap!
@MonicaA2013, I hope today goes more smoothly than yesterday for you!
Happy Thursday, everyone! I'm looking forward to the weekend (getting a bit ahead of myself, I know). I've got what promises to be a very long and not very useful to me meeting this afternoon, but I should be able to walk outside at lunch again today, and the weather has been slowly getting warmer, which is great. It's really starting to feel like spring!

@kenda2427 I feel for you our dog is old and has been acting goofy. I swear she has dementia with the things she is pulling. Her vet appt is in June and I keep thinking will I be coming home alone? Her last appt they told me to just enjoy the time I had with her. I am pretty sure I am done with pets for a while if something happens.
Moms follow up appt went well.
My grandmother is in hospice care. It's just a matter of time.
I have to get my act together this morning I have a dentist appointment before work. What was I thinking.1 -
@kenda2427 I am sorry about the sad news. May you enjoy your time with her, and may she be comfortable, and know how loved she is.
@MonicaA2013 I blame it all on ToM this week, plus our weather is being wonky (not unusual for May.)
@2020pinktogo I hate dentist appointments no matter what time of the day it is.
@fitphoenix I have a boring, not useful meeting to attend to today as well. Unfortunately, mine is across town in rush hour. Ugh. So there is at least 3 hours of my day gone.
Yesterday, was an okay day. I hate it when it is ToM, all I want to do is eat everything in sight. I ate a lot, but managed to stay within calories. Not sure how I did that. Gave up on the no sugar and decided to try again when I am not fighting ToM.
I really love this group. It is so helpful to have a place to do goals, and see how everyone is progressing. I was looking at our group progress for our last weigh in, we were at 18% of our goal, 20% of the way in. That is so great! I love seeing our progress with the people who are working towards their goals. I also like, that the people who joined in the beginning can come back at any time and jump right back in. @kenda2427 you are wonderful!
Yesterday's Goals:
UNDER CALORIES
15000 steps
Gym time
Lunch walk Even got one of my coworkers to come for part of it.
Hogwarts Challenge
No Sugar
Focus @ work
not even close
Pay insurance
Today's Goals:
Under Calories
20000 steps
Gym time
Roller skating

Insurance

Have a beautiful day Flowers1 -
Good morning and thank you everyone for your kind thoughts.
@jdelaroy sounds like you had a pretty successful day, the noon walk is always a nice break from the work day.
I am so out of sorts being in the camper without much in the way of utilities, etc so feeling very grubby, food is all out of whack, tired, overwhelmed and sad. So my goals right now are just to keep my sanity
Today my goals are:
get through the work day
spend some time outside with all my critters
try to get some fluids in me
take dog for a short walk
early bed
Have a good day everyone!0 -
Good morning!!
@Kenda2427 So sorry about your furbaby!! That is so hard, especially when you are trying to live out of a camper. I say your goal just to keep your sanity works for now! Hang in there!
@RejsGirl I'm so happy your echo turned out ok!!
@fitphoenix I'm looking forward to the weekend too! I hope you get your walk in during lunch. That should help with the long meetings!
@2020pinktogo Just think how clean your teeth will be bright and early!
I hope you're grandma is comfortable. Sending hugs to you.
@jdelaroy Way to go with staying within your calories yesterday! Sometimes you need to call that a win and start again with the no sugar on another day!! I love this group too. I don't always have time to check in each day, but you're all in the back of my mind & it still keeps me basically on track because I don't want a big gain for the group total! (at least that's what I say Ha)
It's been a busy week/weekend with my parents in town. I've tried to make good choices with food, which can be hard when they are all eating bread pudding & I'm eating an apple!! I have been hitting my water goals everyday, so that's a plus! They left last night, and now my sister is coming tomorrow to go to the Garth Brooks concert. I'm so excited!! It's going to be a tough weekend because we are also having a party on Saturday night. Hopefully I can burn some calories cleaning the house & catching up with laundry today!!
Goals for the rest of the week & weekend
Drink 10 glasses of water everyday (I'm on my 4th now)
Try to log food everyday, or at least try to make good choices
Catch up on laundry
Get the house clean & ready for Saturday
Get in some sort of exercise
Drink water between every drink on Saturday
Remember that it's just a day & doesn't mean Sunday is a free day if I overdo it on Saturday
Take some aspirin before bed on Saturday night---ha!
Keep up the good work everyone!!

Good morning flowers!!!
Sounds like your day worked out great @GrandmaJackie !!! It's great when you have enough calories to indulge without guilt.
Nothing freaks me out more than loosing a lot of weight in a short amount of time. I have lost about 2.2 lb since Monday. Despite the positivity of the scale weight, I like it better when my results are predictable. I was concerned yesterday but then I did some digging and solved my dilemma. As it turns out, the progestin pills, can cause a big whoosh because they balance out estrogen. It's somewhat magic for women who are estrogen dominant. Excess Estrogen can cause fat accumulation, raise insulin, lower leptin (the satiety hormone), and causes water retention. When estrogen becomes balanced with progestin all those pesky side effects go away quickly and a big whoosh can occur
Now I can actually enjoy my new weight and feel good about it.
Yesterday was really accomplished, got all my goals done including the steps and the gym swim time.
Goals for today are: eat within calories/macros, train, chin-ups, steps, water, sleep and the monthly progress pictures.
Let's have a fabulous Thursday!!!0 -
@fitphoenix In days gone by I would have had seconds, and then some lol! I hope you enjoyed your lunchtime walk
@2020pinktogo Glad mum's app went well. Enjoy the time with your grandma making/sharing memories. I don't have pets because I would crack up when they go. Too stressful.
@danelutza19 It's a great side effect, so now you can enjoy the drop. Well done on the goals.
@everyoneelse Your positive outlook is inspiring. You all seem to be coping well with all that life throws your way. Keep on keeping on...
Doing fine on my goals, and looking forward to the weekend. Next week my schedule will be a little less hectic. Looks like our Spell off warm sunny settled weather is about to break. Ireland has 40 shades of green for a reason Lol!
Gotta go and finish my steps for today and do some yoga before bedtime. Enjoy whatever you have planned for the rest of your day. 1 -
I only have 11 more days till the end of school. Trying to plan my days while I am off. I think I will have a gym days 2 times a week then I will walk in the mornings or water aerobics and keep up the planning and the prep.2

Catching up with a few posts from yesterday and today as yesterday I was just in for a quick stop....
@fitphoenix - Yea pretty much everything on MFP quiets down around this time of year. New year fever is over and and people are just wanting to go out and enjoy the nice weather. It will get busy again once we start nearing summer I think. People are gonna want their beach bodies ready!

@jdelaroy - Sorry you had a rough day. I hope you are feeling better. Those days will happen, what we do with them is the tricky part. Hang in there.
@Kenda2427 - I am so sorry to hear about your fur baby. I have a 15 year old at home myself and hate thinking he is very near the end of his life as well. Sending you lots of love to you and your family during these difficult days.
