I am hoping the scale will be forgiving this week. I haven't been bad with food (maybe not eating enough?) but exercise has been off;( Its baby time at my little farm and I haven't had more then 2 hours sleep in a row for over a week! 2 sets of kids (goats) and one set of lambs are in my house being bottle fed. Mothers with more then twins I have no idea how you do it! haha I did get a little break and work some horses yesterday afternoon, but i looks like snow again tomorrow:( uggh
Have a great healthy week everyone!1 -

Ahhh that is amazing! You're a good soul for taking such care of them! Lack of sleep and stress is not good. Hang in there.1 -
@Djou11 and @wyhorzegal Thanks for the advice and encouragement. I normally always meal plan breakfast and lunch but then I have a weakness for trying desserts in new places or snacks that I normally wouldn't "allow" when I'm home, and that's where I fall off the bandwagon. I definitely just need to treat being away as if I'm still at home, and yes @wyhorzegal, I will make an extra effort to walk a ton! Thank you!2

What a day yesterday! We had this big ice storm. So many trees snapped. At least the temperature was more on the + side than the - side. This morning, most side walks are clear. Hopefully spring will be here soon.

@JulieAL1969 thank you!
I love all my little animals, even if it sometimes stressful! One more Ewe and I am done lambing this year;)
@WA_Teacher Hang in there, remember the scale doesn't always tell the truth. I do measurements once a month too.
@koirakoira nice loss this week!
Ice storms are horrible! I hope the sun comes out and starts to melt things.
@stacybaker707 Great job on going to the gym! I am just learning to love the gym. but now the weather is getting nice and feel myself not wanting to go so I can play outside.
@bisonpitcher - sodium gets me alot too, and its always the weirdest things that are packed full of it:( uuggh Have a great week:)

I am sitting here in my office watching it snow:( yesterday was beautiful I even did a extra short walk around the place before dark. Then the wind came up and bang...snow
Only have one more ewe left:) yay...and one little mini goat but she is 6 weeks out so I will not get to excited about her for a while.
Have a great day everyone!1 -

I dont like excuses but here's mine, lol. I spent 4 of the last 7 days in the Hospital. I gained 10lbs of fluid in that 4 days from a few IVs. I got out monday and I know it will come off as its water weight but I really, really, really hate seeing that number go in the wrong direction. Unfortunately I will not be doing much exercise this week either as I am still recovering but I will do my best.

Good morning everyone, sorry again for being a little behind on schedule this week. Been a bit of a crazy week over here .
I want to take a few mins to congratulate each and everyone of you for participating in last week.
We came in 3d place overall !!! YEAH!!!
A big shout out too to our top 3 losers
1st - @stacybaker707. - 3.07%
2nd - @12774. - 2.08%
3rd - @wyhorzegal. - 1.61%
Also @stacybaker707 was THE BIGGEST LOSER pounds wise with a whooping 7lbs
Congrats and keep up the hard work !!
and here is me catching up on posts (again sorry for falling behind on these)
@miltonbuddy Awesome loss girl. Training does challenge the body quite a bit and eting the right food at the right time may be exactly what created this amazing loss. Keep it going
@lar25473 See you didn't needed to be scared, although it makes it even more rewarding when we see a loss we didn't expect. You're doing amazing, keep smiling!!
@stacybaker707 great loss again this week!! how is the keto treating you? Did you get any keto flu symptoms ? how is the energy level ?
@SavannahS2016 Being sick totally sucks, hope you feel better soon. But yeah for a 2 lbs loss!!! and I could be wrong but I'm assuming that the April 30th (and April 29th weigh ins) would actually fall under the may week 1 will dbl check on that for you.
@dheliason have a great week my friend hope all is well with you !!
@NationalCapital You have yourself a wonderful week too.
@Lesscookies12 starting weight this month was 139.1 good job, keep it up
@wyhorzegal thanks for stepping in to cheer up everyone, and I didn't get a msg from you. did you sent it in the email/direct message part of mfp .... can't see it ... I will msg you if you want to reply on that.... oh and my new program is starting officially on the30th but I'm in prep mode right now ... I decided to go back to something that has always worked well for me in the past and it's beachbody's workouts ... no sales pitch here just my experience with the workouts have always been positive ... I'm starting the "80 day obsession" one soon... in the meantime that my challenge group starts on the 30th I have been doing "A little obsessed" it's a 5 day prep for the big 80 day one and let me tell you I have muscles hurting right now that I didn't even know existed lmao .... sore is an understatement !!! Oh and btw I'm admire you're dedication to your farm friends, I have my own little animals (3 small kids and 2 big kids to look after) but it takes someone special to care and love them ... Kudos to you!!
@JulieAL1969 You my dear are awesome !!! always the right words to cheer up your teammates !! Thank you !!! and I haven't had a chance to look at your food dairy for yesterday but got a good chuckle at your post ... hope you didn't steel your students snacks today either
@WA_Teacher don't get discouraged maintain is better than gain!
@koirakoira good job on that loss this week and yes we got hit with that ice storm too my internet was down all Monday morning and has been hit and miss ever since.
@bisonpitcher oh don't you ate that when you're retaining water just the day that you have to post your weigh in when it was better a few days prior ... and yes sodium intake might be contributing to that but here is link that I found on different minerals also affecting water retention https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-ways-to-reduce-water-retention#section5 hope this helps
@12774 good consistent loss here whatever you're doing is working ... keep it up !!
@nebslp have a great week and don't worry too much about that little increase
@leni1us it's too late for the week 2 results but I'm putting it on the spreadsheet for your total results for April. Yes accountability is key on this journey !!
@jamesfamily4 Oh no hope you're feeling better now, feel free to reach out for help. Family and friends don't always know how or what to do to help. It's important to recognize that we can use some help and ask for it. Things might not always be done the way we would but as long as they're done that's all that matters. Rest and get better my friend, good positive vibe going your way
Ok sorry guys this was a long one .... I promise not to do that again
Love you all and hope you are all having a wonderful week

@Djou11 & @wyhorzegal
Thanks for the encouragement. It's report card time so I don't have a lot of time for working out. So, instead of beating myself up I've decided to focus on my water intake.2 -

That's a busy morning! Great job getting in a workout.2 -
So I haven't logged a full day in awhile. I start out with good intentions then if I know something will put me over then I stop logging for the day because I don't want to know how many calories I ate. Well today I am proud to say I logged every single thing and stayed in my calories. I'm also potty training my very stubborn little girl who says she wants to potty but sits for hours before she finally potties. So needless to say I haven't had much time for snacking. I am desparate to lose some weight before our vacation on June 22nd. I have to start taking this more serious. I made it under my calories today and I don't feel deprived and I was never starving. I need to keep in my mind that I will still live without a bedtime snack. We will see how the scale looks on Friday.5

@aganey one day at time! I know I do several meals all day! Mine takes a little planning but I am never hungry and sometimes I have to make myself eat all my food. Great job tracking, make yourself track even if you go over, so you can go back and see what you did:)
@mlhopp93 Yay! you can finish April strong!
@Ecowles675 great week! whatever your doing this month is really paying off:)

I know I haven't slept for a week, but I have been under in all my stuff on MFP and I have exercised even did extra walks, came to work early and did extra workouts! Drank my water.....I guess it wasn't in the scale this week:( sorry team!
It was my week to do my monthly measurements and I did loss another -7 inches this month, so I that is good.
Me talking to myself "I will stay focused, I will still meet my goals, I am working towards a positive lifestyle change, I can do this!" haha ok some what better now!
Hope everyone has a great day!2
