January 17
Exercised?: Yes. 6km in 46 mins (hills)

Late walk before dusk after another busy work day. Expecting a hot day tomorrow so will try get out early.
Tomorrow is last work day before a week's holidays.
Looking forward to doing an aerial obstacle course (tree surfing) wth my teenage daughter on the holidays. Will also try roller skating for the first time in ages (used to compete ice skating, so should be OK there).
@GoBlue1981. Thank you. Should still be online daily throughout the holidays. Will have an internet connection and like to stay in touch.

Weigh in week: Week 3 (I think?)
Weigh in day: Wednesday
Previous Week's Weight: 222.4
Todays Weight: 221.8
Continuing to yo-yo. Looking back at my update from last week, I've decided that Wednesdays don't like me. I hit 218.6 last Saturday and 219.4 on Sunday but I'm up again. Not sure if it's because I actually work out during the week but not on the weekends or if it's water weight (have REALLY cracked down on my calories but have started Starting Strength lifting program).
On the bright side, *last* week I'd said that I had hit 221.8 as a low some time the week before and now I'm weighing in at that low. Hopefully I'll be checking in at 218.6 next week!5 -

FINALLY GETTING BACK ON TRACK AFTER A DIFFICULT START TO JANUARY.
NEED TO LOSE 0.7 POUNDS TO GET BACK TO THE WEIGHT I WAS ON DECEMBER 27TH.
SOUNDS DOABLE.
JUST HAVE TO STAY THE COURSE.
@MoyMG
Thanks for your sympathy on the loss of my godfather.
My dad and I went to my godmother's house with roses on the day we found out.
Went to visitation on the 7th then visitation, funeral, and reception on 8th.
Since then been supporting her via phone chats and offering my help wherever she needs it as I know from experience that people are often around right when the person passes away and for the week or 2 after but then most people go back to their own lives and the grieving person can be left feeling alone so I want to be sure she has someone if and when that time comes and then I will go and visit her when her schedule has less visitors and outings.
@craigo3154
You are correct that it is normal for our weight to go up and down due to emotional and seasonal triggers. I was on a downward spiral after going through the first Christmas without my mom then losing my godfather not long after that as well as all the Christmas Holiday gatherings full of too much food and treats and my weight kept going up but I am slowly getting back into making some better decisions for my health. I have also made sure to give myself some down time.
Thanks for your condolences.
@GoBlue1981
Thanks for your response regarding the death of my godfather.
I appreciate you saying that I can let the group know how they can help.
I am happy that I have to check in weekly with my weigh ins as it provides accountability for me and I hate posting gains so that often helps me make better decisions and had I not been checking in weekly I may have kept gaining weight for more than 2 weeks in a row but instead I am trying to get back on the right course and accomplished a good loss this week.
@typeitdaily
Thanks for saying you were sorry to hear about my loss and for saying the group is here for me when I am ready. I do know that taking care of myself also includes taking care of my health so I am back at it.
@phoebelayla
Thanks for your comment about the loss of my godfather.
I am doing the best I can to take care of myself.
Some days I wish someone else would take care of me though, lol!
It's nice to be pampered sometimes.4 -

@inshapeCK. Great to see you back on track after such a difficult time. It's a hard road, but we are playing the long game of keeping yourself healthy for life.
You will get back to Decembers weight (and below).
I have faith in you.
