    Pulled out 4 dresses last night. All sized 10-16. I wore the 10s in 2010! Tried on the 16 (can't zip it!) & it was a real eye opener as to how much work I need to do. I was avoiding the reality of my situation by wearing stretchy materials & layers. I remember vividly wearing each dress except the 16 b/c it still has tags. Last week I took out a tape measure to measure my waist and I know I've got to get the number down.
    I know if I can make progress, I will feel better physically & emotionally.

    Have a great week everyone!

    I can SO relate! This was one of the reasons I wanted to lose weight - I have so many pretty dresses, and hubby always loves it when I wear dresses. Some, like yours, still have the tags on them. But all I wear, even when we go out, is jeans, and a baggy shirt or sweater.
    So after reading your post - for the first time - I also took my measurements!
    We are going to get there! Just keep thinking of all those beautiful dresses you want to wear!

    Yes! We will get there. Can't wait to fit them all!

    @Bex953172 Right now this corgi is a damn mess. stay tuned.
    I usually go to the y for yoga, but there are free youtube videos all over the place. Amazon prime also has a bunch.

    1) Treadmill before work / 3 mi 49:19 / stretched :smiley: Even washed hubby's work clothes while walking (he keeps "forgetting") :D
    2) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Fitbit 13,150 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 31 floors. Pretty good considering haircut after work & evening Lenten service. :smiley:
    3) Leftovers for lunch / choose wisely at soup supper (limit breads & desserts) / net calories w/i 100 green = At supper had 1/2 slice bread and 1 oatmeal raisin cookie + 2 soups / best-guess logged & net calories -229, sodium & sugar red, fiber & protein good, 12c water :/
    4) Evening: haircut :smiley: / soup supper :smiley: / Lenten service :smiley: / 1 to-do = put away laundry :smiley:
    5) Unplug 9:00 :/ 9:30 / floss :/ tired & just didn't do it / retainers :smiley: / bed & TV 10:15 (treadmill Th a.m.) :smiley:

    JFT R 3/8 - Too many snooze alarms / listened to my body & taking a rest day
    1) Move hourly / stairs breaks at work
    2) Leftovers for lunch / not sure of supper (trying to locate recipe) / net calories w/i 100 green / monitor usual
    3) Evening: choir / wash dishes / at least 1 to-do
    4) Unplug 9:00 (seriously!) / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 10:15 (treadmill F a.m.)

    @OConnell5483 My "floors" are recorded on my Fitbit Charge HR. It only records going up, not down, and is based on changes in elevation, not number of steps...if I remember correctly from my reading when I first got it. That's why I get "floors" counted when I walk dog. Hubby gifted Fitbit to me for Christmas 2015. I don't wear it to bed, but put it on first thing in the morning, usually.

    @Bex953172 Loved your comments about our snowblowers, and driving. I guess I'm just used to it where we live. Glad you got Casey home safe and sound!

    @joan6630 and @toaljasa You and your daughters are in my prayers. (((hugs)))

    I'm behind reading posts since some time yesterday, will catch up with everyone later. Have a blessed day!

    @Bex953172 Good job on your goals! You're smart to limit it for the time being!

    @MLHC1 It's good to "hear" from you! Lol. Good luck with your presentation! I bet you are excited to be done with school! You have a REALLY busy family! Lots of deep breathing! Lol. I'm glad that you are doing well! Keep us updated!

    @OConnell5483 Good goals! Where do you find the podcasts that you listen to? I would like to try them. I need to listen to something that isn't as time-consuming as an audiobook or as random as Pandora. How are you feeling, btw? Are you on the mend yet?

    So M made me take a rest day today. I am incredibly sore from the last few days of working out heavily. I might do some mild stretching before bed and then a quick, easy yoga video tomorrow morning. But because I didn't do anything active today I will go over calorie goal. I, also, am going to have a hard time logging tomorrow night(parents taking us to Charlie Brown's) and Sunday night(going to M&M's for dinner). I'm going to try but it is likely that it will end badly! Lol. But it will be an awesome weekend of good food! I will do my best to eat smart as well as drink lots and lots of water to counteract the sodium overload.

    I have begun to mindlessly eat.
    I’m not too upset about it really, now I’ve realised I can change that and it’s definitely just because I’ve had the baby.
    I didn’t even realise I’d eaten so much chocolate until I found wrappers in my hoodie pocket :sweat_smile: then reluctantly logged them!



    So!
    Kind of achieved my goals! I logged everything I can remember and I think I’ve drunk about 5 glasses of water so happy with that!

    So goals for Friday:
    - Log all food... accurately!
    - 6 glasses of water


    @Bex ---- you made me laugh --- your comment about the wrappers in your hoodie pocket!! This sounds so like me - but my wrappers are usually stuffed somewhere where no one can see them!

    But .... I am SO PROUD of you for getting back to logging!! SO you really aren't doing mindless eating --- maybe after the fact .... but you are at least aware of what you are doing. And ... with a new baby on top of it!!

    So I can't even kick you in the butt ..... you are doing awesome!! I better get myself going - you are setting a good example. And ... with a new baby and 2 more little ones ... you should be so proud of yourself!!! And ... so happy to have you back logging and checking in with us!

    All in all pleased with today as first binge free day in ages. It really helped knowing I’d committed this, especially after the school run and after swimming. I realised my craving wasn’t hunger and that I really wasn’t hungry. I also realised that I didn’t want to eat ‘healthy food’ and so stopped my inner child making my eating decisions... that was a tough one!

    Great job! Stopping binging is hard to do .... but you are doing great. To actually stop and realize that it is just a craving and not hunger, and that you didn't want healthy food but junk food .... great job! You've got this!

    Bad day for me. Been so busy with work and family stuff and trying to do it all perfectly. Hit the wall tonight and let frustration overwhelm me. But tomorrow is a new day (kind of the point of this, right?) so I’m making peace and moving on.

    Yes - tomorrow is a new day! Somedays are like that... but the good thing is when we move on, and start over.

    @MLHC1 - great to hear from you!

    @MLHC1 how are things going with you!

    Many of you have read my status update and know I'm kinda taking a break from social media. I will occasionally "pop-on" for chit-chat updates but my counselor has advised that I steer clear of any "to-do" or daily lists. I'm in the final stretch of my pregnancy and I have to reduce as much stress and anxiety as I can.

    Just to update: I'm doing fairly well. My exercise routines have come to a hault, other than walking. My two younger boys have started baseball season and my oldest is competing in high-school track tournaments for the remainder of the next two months, Lol!! The baby is doing well. He is a big boy!! My last sonogram measured him 1 lb heavier than other babies his gestional age :blush: I present my finalized research report and poster in 2 weeks!! Then I'm finished with school until August :smile: I really appreciate everyone's support and I will try to get on here occasionally to "check-in." You ladies keep up the good work!! :wink:

    Ahh I didn’t realise you were having a break from social media. Must have missed the post!
    In these last stages it probably is best to reduce your stress, have you got everything you need for your baby boy? I’m so excited for when he arrives! Casey was my heaviest too!
    It wasn’t great for us that I was running out the day before my induction buying Moses baskets, more clothes and bottles and pumps (which I’ve not even used yet!) so getting rest now is a v good idea!

    Make sure you take good care of you and that baby! Have you had to stop exercising or is it a bit hard to do now?

    Sounds like your other boys are doing great! Are they excited for their new baby brother?!

    Yes I did. Trying to figure out how to get the other views to post. I'm not super happy with it.

    You should be very proud of it!! You did a great job! I don't know how to knit or crochet -- something I would love to learn .... if only I had more time! Please post more - love to see them.
