Work from home again today.
Not much else to report.
@RangerRickL. My small victory today is getting everything done I intended. Walking, tracking, my usual bodyweight exercises, language lessons, sim flying practice, work task list, etc...
I try plan out what I want to do at the start of the day. Literally plan out the inches. All are steps in directions towards small victories. It is rare that I get 100% done per day before midnight.

"The fact still remains that 55% of those who lose weight will not keep it all off, 20% will return to their previous weight and 20% or so will gain even more weight then they lost. That leaves 5% to win the championship and make a true lifestyle change."
@MadisonMolly2017 - I can't agree with you less. Hopefully, as we inch forward, all these technologies at our disposal will help us increase this 5%.
@w8goal4life - You are very encouraging. Thank you. We can all feel your support.
@RangerRickL - Thanks to you for all the posts. Each morning I look forward to it as I sign in, I use it as an indicator to know whether I have signed in for that day or not.
If it a new image/post, I know I have not signed in to the group. Talking about the group, thank you for all your hard work of creating and supporting it. Thank you for your comments.
@joinn68 - From my experience, weight lost and maintenance is a conscious effort. Going on "recess" is not an option. It must come from within. Nobody can do it for me. I choose the things I eat. Food is my body fuel. My body is too precious. I deserve the best. I do not deserve/want to make the junk food companies, etc., rich at my expense. This is what I say to myself each day. I make that choice. I do not feel sorry for myself. This is going to be for life and I have embrace it.
There is hope in new researches---

I guess we are already using one of those tips here. 6 -
I didn't log today, but I didn't eat too badly. Still feeling a bit overwhelmed by the word of the kidney stuff but left work early and had a long drive to think about it all, then a nap because I didn't sleep well last night. Jiu Jitsu class in the evening was the best though. After warm up and drills, we rolled for a good hour. I tried to pick people who would be a challenge for most of my rounds and walked away feeling so much better! There is nothing like a good session to sort out your emotions. Ready to start the next step in the process... and back to logging tomorrow!9

@RangerRickL My small victory has been our schedule. This house gets a little hectic and with work getting a lot busier... It's been a small miracle that we have stayed organized these past 2 weeks and nothing has been forgotten.
