Work has gotten busy/crazy and I am having some difficulty balancing some extra responsibilities added at work, my fellowship work and eating/exercise.
I leave after class Friday for a well deserved vacation for 2 weeks and plan to decompress and come back a new me.2 -

Tracked yes
Calories yes
Exercise yes
10 mile bike ride and work out with mom.
Today's positive was I had to try to do 100 jumping jacks as fast as I could, I managed a minute and a half. I remember not getting to 50 without stopping!!! Feeling better and better every day.
Also I used to love bike riding, don't know why I ever stopped. Well not only did I get on (even though I planned for a rest day) but completed 10 miles!!! Apparently once I started I didn't want to stop lol
Sunday no
Monday yes

Still don’t have my motivation back. I haven’t been to the gym since last Monday. Not sure how but I have to find the mentality I had Jan-Aug.
But until then I do have several small victories. I still have been active. Yardwork, house work, active days at work. I still have been keeping healthy foods in the house so I haven’t destroyed my eating habits. Today at work with coworkers I ordered a salad when ppl were trying to talk me into getting something unhealthy.
Weighing myself a few times a week and it seems like I’m maintaining so at least I’m not ruining all the hard work from earlier6 -

Enjoy your vacation! It sounds like just what you need right now. Hopefully you come back well rested and re-energized and ready to tackle the scales again. (hugs)2 -

Your salad at lunch is definitely a small win. That, and being active enough to maintain your weight. Hope you find your mojo again soon, Erik.2 -

Went out to the in laws yesterday, they have trouble doing yard work so I decided to go and help them...the kicker though, they made a small feast for dinner for us 😣😣 usually I will pick what to eat and what to leave but they portioned out everything for us. Thank gosh I have been weighing out my food for a while and could tell, roughly, how much of everything I had so I could track it. I ended up with a crazy, ridiculious amount of calories, way over my calorie mark.
My win though, after getting home and having the over calories number gnawing at me I decided to get on my bike and ride 10 miles (some of which was up hill) and completed a bit of exercise to attempt to work off what I ate. +3 was what I finished at lol. A win is a win.
Sunday no
Monday yes

What a great example of balancing the equation....lots of calories in requires lots of exercise to burn those calories. Way to get it back down/near zero!!! It would have been so much easier if your in-laws had let everyone dish up themselves....is there a way for next time to make that happen?2 -

@HASWLRS usually yes, they let us take what we can eat so to stop wastage but lately my hubby and I have been going there to help them grocery shop and get things done around the house. So after helping them take care of their lawn, which I know was kill my mother in law to look at, i think she just got over excited and super greatful... lol now that we have been going over more often, her over excitement will wade a bit and I'm sure we will get back to routine1
