THURSDAY

Good morning, I bet my little walking trips wouldnt get me very far in these races! But then maybe that's the motivation.....

Many people who got the flu shot had the sore shoulder before work end instead of the next morning - fast acting stuff!! Yes, I did just roll my eyes.

We have to decorate our Supervisors door for some stupid competition - note it is not voluntary - you will do it and you will have fun - wow that sucks. Immediate Supervisor yesterday got to help me with the extremely weird claims that were over $5k and even he said that it was unequal how they distribute claims in our department. So today is a free for all and I will hide in my cube and work as many as I can. Lurking as I do so.

Younger Gentleman I have met is Roman Catholic and I have a book on Vienna (lived there briefly lifetimes ago) and will suggest he find himself an Austrian wife.......Austria historically has been predominantly a Roman Catholic nation.

Wave to all who follow. Make it your best Thursday.

One blessing to the job I currently have is there is none of that voluntold stuff that is supposed to help with office morale. Just me and one staff member. I buy him a coffee every morning and we talk things out. We have a good team just the two of us.

I am confused by the claims, is that insurance claims?

Hello Ladies~~

Once again having a not-great day. Just out of control here in NYC, ordering Chinese food etc etc. I got so little sleep last night; just couldn't shut down. Then the construction banging down the block started at 7:15AM.

Naturally my flight today from NYC to Raleigh NC was cancelled and re-booked for tomorrow.

I will read your posts tomorrow, if I get a good night's sleep tonight.

Everybody hang in there~~

@Tilliesmommy1 .
You can do it!

Lana - hope all is well when you get to NC

Sara - good job on the no potato chip week!

Temps dropped dramatically here - 80s yesterday, 50s today. No heat in my office building either. Brrrr....

Plans for this weekend include a surprise birthday party for a friend and baking cookies to send off to my sister for her birthday. Also, we are starting to get estimates for new flooring throughout house and new kitchen cabinets & countertop. I'm wincing just thinking about how much that will cost.

No walking/running today. I have too many errands to run this evening. I have managed to exercise 3 nights this week, so I don't feel so bad about skipping tonight.

Hi,

First time posting on this forum. Just wanted to say I'm screwing up my success and I see it. THIS time around I've lost 47 pounds fairly quickly via counting calories and walking 6 days a week.

I needed/wanted to lose 35 more pounds to reach my goal. Well, I got stuck at one weight for about 2.5 weeks and since then I've been on/off diet for about 3 weeks? now.. I am regaining and I've gained 9 pounds back I believe.

I decided to take today off and tomorrow and start again Sunday, (trust me it's a mind thing where I have to set a start date and pig out before)

Hopefully I can keep it up for life like I just was able to these 4 months prior to lose these now 44 remaining pounds and then to maintain.

Anyone else like me? How did you finally do it and reach your goal? Any other pointers?

Thanks

I have been like you twice lost the weight fast and then managed to get it plus some all back on. This time around I am taking it much slower in the hopes that I don't get burned out from doing to much. The only suggestion I have is don't quit. If you don't feel you were successful one day, try again the next! Everyday you try is going to be better than not trying.

Good luck

Hi all! Happy Friday.

Successfully did my StrongLifts and couch to 5k workouts today... did some extra walking too. Covered about 3.3 miles! Happy with that.

Still working on that pesky snacking but doing better.

It’s been another long, busy week and I’m exhausted. Hope to check in more tomorrow. Hope all are well!

It is SO GOOD to be back home in NC. I completely stunk while away--completely off program and eating like it were my last week on earth.
Back on track today, I hope. I need to get my planning done.

Waving to Sara and Tracy and Sarah and Eryn and Kathryn and Missy and Dawn and Tracey and Lynn and Runa. Where is Tess? Has she been around, or has the Washington Swamp Monster eaten her for lunch?

I really wish they would do it on almost any other day than Monday. That's our busiest day, always... ugh... anyway, if interested, feel free to check it out... Thanks for your support!

SATURDAY

Good morning,

SarahPink - can any of your food be frozen for later? Later can be next week.....

Regular errands with spa day for Miss T - boy is she needing one. I almost typed "ready" - she is not ready, I am.

Pumpkins are on sale at one of my stores, so will see if I can get one for the kitchen window.

Freezer full of meals, so no marathon cooking which is a nice change.

Wave to all who follow.

Didn't think about freezing. Definitely can do! I ate junk today but stayed under 1200 calories.

Sunday !!
Even though I am now retired, there is still something restful about Sundays and anxiety-inducing about Mondays. Hmm.

Sara - Every morning I make my coffee, and I sit and have it at my computer, while I come to these boards and check in with my daily weight. What I must incorporate with planning is to then go to the daily planner (be it MFP or, for a short while, WW) and face that day and write in what I intend to eat.

Now that I have written that, I should investigate whether I can get myself to be a day ahead. So today, I should be planning out both Sunday AND Monday, and then tomorrow I would be planning/tracking Tuesday.

Well, it's an idea. Who knows, maybe it could eventually lead to (at least scribbled in pencil) roughing out an entire week. I'm visual - I need to be able to look at something.
Sara - you already do your planning by cooking on Sundays and portioning and freezing. That is an amazingly great thing you do for yourself.

Waves to all who stop by later~~

Finished my virtual race yesterday!! Very excited about that. My map shows all the distance I would have walked if I had actually been in Moscow. Got new shoes... my knees, legs, and back hopefully won’t need so much recovery time in between long walks.
