So messed up as I went to a Mexican party and ate cookies. I chose every thing, carefully avoiding tortillas and then the Mexican cookies came out and out the will power went out the window.
I'm sorry to hear that but just be encouraged I've had that happen to me many of times, that's why I'm still struggling with my weight but the key is not to give up, today's another day go forward with that1 -

I keep waking up bloated. I think that's effecting my weight. I have to start paying attention to what I'm eating at night to make sure it's not salty
Oh no I'm sorry that's happening to you, I'm sure you'll figure out what's going on but even me time don't despair everything is going to be okay as long as you just keep pushing forward and don't give up1 -

So I didn't wait in last week and I kept my previous weight but it turns out when I came back from vacay I actually gained 5 lb cuz I weighed myself the day I came back but I am pleased to say since Tuesday evening I have lost which is great it means I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. I don't know if I mentioned it before but I joined the healthywage that actually was talking about so I'm betting against myself to lose 199 lb and then next 18 months. So here's my results so far in the picture above and it's a great way to verify your weight so which makes it even more perfect as honesty is the key to losing weight you're only cheating yourself.
I love healthy wage. It really helped me focus when I needed to and it lead me down the road of discovering what foods worked for me and what didnt. And I made 600 bucks so that helped too.
You go girl!!1 -

Congrats on your NSV starting off the WEEK 3! (NSV today!! I used to be a runner but have not really truly ran in over a year. Today at the gym I ran 20 minutes before my spin class to warm up, and 40 minutes afterwards to see if I could complete a 5K without walking. I did it!! I had to stop running due to hip es but I felt great! which probably help you with this week's loss Congrats again!!

To Our team CAPTAIN, Ashley, @AB0215, is on the money motivating everyone! Quick to answer questions and even make suggestions.
Once again, I have to mention her very inspiring post to end our week 2 and start off week 3: her success since 2017 truly inspirational and thanks for sharing.
I also give KUDOS for those who have participated in the QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What is your favorite Olympic Sport? It was a toss up between Figure Skating and Hockey but it Looks like HOCKEY WON HANDS DOWN. . .LOL!! Looking forward to the interaction in this week question!
I am so happy for the interaction this week; as you can see this week we had a switch and we had a lot of second place winners instead of first place. Hopefully there will be much more interaction this NEXT WEEK in the optional mini challenge! WE ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK TO GO! LET'S keep tunneling through and put our best effort forward THIS UPCOMING WEEK 4 & DO NOT GIVE UP! WE GOT THIS!
TO ALL OUR TEAM MEMBERS:I've been reading your posts and notice some of you are still struggling BUT YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP! I WANT TO CONTINUE ENCOURAGING YOU GUYS TO KEEP ON PRESSING FORWARD EVEN WHEN THE SCALE IS NOT IN YOUR FAVOR! YOU GOT THIS! We cannot give up when it looks like we're not getting what we want in this thing all we have to do is just hold on a little longer and we will see the results because we put in the work and so the results must show up SOON! I hope I encourage just someone a little bit to keep on tunneling through. YOU GUYS ROCK!
I REPEAT: SOME OF US HAD A REALLY GOOD WEEK, OTHERS HAD STRUGGLES BUT WE MADE IT!

New week to get myself refocused, get back into the workout routine. Also found out why my dog (the bichon) was peeing blood, but gradually it went back to normal, so originally the vet thought it was an UTI (she has a history of them) but did an ultrasound to double check like we usually do when she gets like that and he found bladder stones, since her breed is prone to those. We have just lucked out so far. She’s going to be 8 years old in May. So he put her on a strict, special diet formulated to help dissolve the stones and to help them pass on their own without surgery (hopefully). She’ll be on that diet for the next 3 months and then a recheck. Needless to say it was a stressful week. Hoping and praying this works. Don’t want to have to put the little girl through surgery because that carries it’s own risks in itself. But hey it’s stones, it’s treatable and isn’t cancer (which peeing blood is also a sign) so it’s not the end of the world or anything like that. Just don’t like seeing my little fur baby in pain.
Anyways, I hope everyone else is having a great weekend! It’s raining here and we’ve got an open house to attend today (we are also looking for a new house in a more rural area than the suburban area we live in now, miss my privacy from when I lived out in the rural part of the state).
I completely understand. It IS super stressful, I have 2 cats who are both proned to stones/crystals and one has been on this track lately of getting them once a month despite the preventive measures., and the other since we put him on prescription food years ago has been crystal free (knock on wood). I love them both and my husband thinks I'm crazy because I just get up in the middle of the night and change the sheets like its nothing, but they are my babies...
Don't forget to take care of yourself in this stressful time, you need love too

I'm working a lot right now, so my exercise time is really limited but I'm making a real, focused effort on the calories intake to balance that out. I'd like to do it all - but for the next couple of weeks at least, this is probably the best I can hope for!0 -

It's very true, while activity is good for the body, it's not the most crucial part of the journey and you are on the right track. Keep the positivity, it goes a long way!!0 -
Thanks to @AB0215 I have joined a challenge in Healthy Wager. I seem more motivated when money is involved lol.2

I'm so glad to see you guys getting into that. It REALLY helped me. I hope it helps you. You can and I would encourage you to do the weekly weigh ins there too. It gives you a visual representation of your progress toward your goal. Good Luck!!1 -

Another day gone and I have to say I did good again as we end this night. Even with all my pain that I'm going through I am proud that I'm getting up to eat on time except for dinner I have to squeeze dinner in more often otherwise it's going to be my downfall. Although in my defense at least for tonight I was waiting for my neighbor to come back from Walmart because the Lean Cuisines there is only $2.50 so which is a bargain because it cost $6 at the supermarket buy me. So I didn't want to over eat or anything negative lately so I was waiting for my food. Oh and it didn't come until 8:30 p.m. too late to eat my last name is 745 p.m.

Today was hard. I had a weird reaction to giving blood. One I’ve never had before. My tooth was getting stabbing pains. I have a dental appointment but it seems to be fading as my blood and iron levels return. Nothing worse than tooth pain in my opinion (this coming from someone who’s given birth 3 times!). Hopefully tomorrow will be better as I return to my exercise classes.

Oh no Jen I'm sorry to hear that. I know you love donating to just be in pain afterwards must be very uncomfortable and I know all about those two things it's nothing like a tooth pain!! Hopefully you feel better tomorrow0 -

Happy Sunday. Weekend is over but not the weight loss. Had a great b-day celebration in AZ but, had to turn away a lot of food that I just did not want to eat because it would have put me over my goals. I wasn’t disappointed in the least or missed any good food.
Track: Yup, even the beer I drank and the restaurant food as best I could.
Exercise: nope, truck did all the work again this trip.
Water Intake: I had at least 2 x 30 oz travel mugs of water during the trip plus more3 -
