3/3 ?? LOL
I am putting this down for 2/4, if this is not correct, please let me know..
Lol oh dear! Gosh I’m out to lunch. Yes you figured correctly. I have no idea where 3/3 came from. My brain has been pretty foggy lately. Ugh.
Tomorrow we head back for a second injection for my son. He’s going to be 4 next week and he has been diagnosed with Juvenile arthritis since November. I thought we were having a reprieve after his first injection in December but it’s popped up in his other knee and possibly elsewhere. He’s doing extremely well and is in great spirits but it’s hard on him, he doesn’t like to eat and has a hard time sleeping due to the pain. Here’s hoping that tomorrow’s appointment brings some lasting relief and some answers as we will receive blood work results.

How is it only now I'm noticing MFP FINALLY made pic uploads available through the Andriod app? I noticed the icons were there for a while but were completely non functional the last few times I tried it. Anyway here's breakfast. Doing a protein challenge this 3 days this
week and taking advantage of the fact that I telework this morning to eat a substantial breakfast.

Meg - so sorry to hear about your son. If you don't mind me asking, what is he getting for an injection. I am not sure if you know or not, but that is where I work - adult Rheumatology. I'm lucky that we don't see the kids here, they go to Pedi Rheum on a different campus...
Hope all goes well with the appt. tomorrow...
Prayers for you guys!

WORKOUT WARRIORS
As you can see by the tags listed above, we have a pretty good size team - approximately thirty (30) challengers - here in Workout Warriors.
What makes this challenge effective in helping to encourage, motivate and inspire each of us is the sharing between each other. It is very important that EVERY challenger on each team participate as often as possible. What this means is that we (The captains and moderators) ask every challenger to post on their team threads. Keep in mind that probably 40-50% of the posts are just from the team captains and motivators.
It is very important for you to share with your teammates. It is this "sharing" that help to motivate, encourage and inspire each of us (including ourselves). In addition, when you share your struggles, failures, challengers, etc., it lets others know that they are not alone in these challenges and that other people go through the same failures, the same struggles, etc...
What you should share - ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! Share your victories, accomplishments, meals and meal preps, fitness plans, workouts, before and after photos, even whether you are having a good day or bad day. Share your failures, struggles you face in your fitness plan, challenges, tell us about those silly little 'Pepperidge Farm gold-fish' you can't stop eating (ok, that's my bad)... Literally anything.
Simply put - PLEASE, don't just post when you are posting your weights. It is important that you post and share often, even daily if you can. This helps everyone, especially yourself (because we are all here for you as much as each other)...
Thanks
Steve

In the interest of getting the sharing ball rolling, this week I’m proud of myself for not having even one of the sodas that were brought into the house. It might have partially been because none of them were my preferred, but I’ll claim the win. 😸 I also battled and beat the pasta monster last night. It’s the first time I can remember that I didn’t have even a little bit more spaghetti. It is one of my binge foods, but last night I finally managed to say no I’m not hungry I just want it because it’s there.
Today is being a little frustrating because it’s my husband’s birthday and I planned for it days ago because he wants to order in and I made him cheesecake (his and my favorite). I planned around what he said he would want to have, no problem I figured out what I could have from the place he picked and fit a slice of cake. Well the weather here isn’t that great, the roads are slick and he’s now reconsidering what he wants to have. I’m trying not to be a little annoyed, but it’s the third time this week that I’ve had to change my day around and hope I don’t go over. He is very supportive of the weight loss, but I’m having trouble getting him to understand that I plan out my day to not go over my calorie goals. I know that I’ll be able to make it work out, I always do, I just wish I had to figure it out less often.
So there we go, some good, and some struggle.5 -

I so understand that struggle. My wife is not following any fitness plan and though I feel she understands (sometimes), she just does not get it. It is easy for her to say let's go out to eat, but she does not understand how hard eating out is when you track your calories, your salt, your sugar, your fat and your protein.
She gets a little frustrated when I say I am not ready to order yet because I am looking up foods on MFP. In any case, I take the added time and look up foods using the MFP database and try to order something that is not going to throw me way over... Your right, it's a battle when both people are not on the same path.
Super at-a-boy on the nsv. Great job staying on track! Try to remember today how good it felt and fight to do it again. One day at a time...

Hi guys from a very cold and chili day here on the mountain. I am hunkered down as Marcie does not want me driving into town for my SW appointment or my Nutrition appt. so here I am. So anyway @cinfidentraven wtg on the NSV's and Happy B Day to your spouse.
As the Chef in this home I prep everything for meal consumption here at home and her lunches for the week. I partially use my Bariatric meal plan for her so I am not making anything I don't want her to eat. She may or may not realize it and if she does she goes along with it so I am not derailed. If how ever Marcie want something special she'll ask me to prep it for her for 1 or 2 days of lunches. Being a school teacher she may or may not get her lunch as she should. Kids in at lunch time for make up or catch up work. Discipline issues which she handles in her own room so on and so forth. So most of her meals are easy peasy for her to eat and some are grab and go. She hates sandwiches, tolerates some salads, and despises fried food at work. I have about 50 menu items that I can make for her so it gets changes every week.
Well there you have it. that's how we roll in the Anderson Hacienda. The weekends are for grillin. We grill our protein for the week, which may include fresh Alaskan Deep Water Cod& Halibut, or for her Salmon from the copper river. I have family who owns a Black Angus Cattle Ranch in Montana and Minnesota so our1/2 side of beef is sent to us from them, and once a year we buy a pig and then we have our pork for the year. I can't stand grocery store meat or from a meat market that I don't personally or professionally know. So I use family and my contacts at the canneries in Cordova Alaska and get my protein as fresh as possible. it's much better for you and my Ostomy.
Well the headache is back and my eyes are stinging. Thank god the Surgery Consult is tomorrow. So off to the couch and lay a ice pack over them for hour or so and then I'll be good as new.
Take care team and HHD

lots of shoveling!1 -
NikMar steps Tuesday: 10,612
@steplaj - thanks for keeping me under scrutiny! Had a decent dinner (my husband - ate all the extra homemade bread that he had made, as he knew I'd eat my body weight in it otherwise! - bless him) and kept away from chocolate.
Today was ok as well! Went to the gym tonight and had a planned meal for when I returned, which has kept me on track!1 -
Sooo....i don't post much about me because, well, not a lot happens in my life bubble that I feel anyone would be remotely interested in. But I will give the sharing thing a go.
This week has been pretty good I suppose, worked out on Monday (stayed within calorie limit) pottered about yesterday (stayed within calorie limit) and spent 9hrs travelling today (definitely did not stay within my calorie allowance).
I'm pretty cool with going over on my calories, i have a week of strenuous activity in the mountains so i will need some extra energy.
I am spending the week with friends and there will be lots of food and drink around.....heck, I might not even log it.
I guess I am fairly chilled about my weight loss.....it is going well and I am happy plodding along with things.
Go Warriors!!!! You got this, team!

Awesome! Now remember, one day at a time - tomorrow, let's keep it to the same thing... Plan your meal, no cheats, stay on track - let me know at the end of your day!
You got this!

OK, to help the 'ball keep rolling' now that I've caught up on all the posts.....We've been trying different fruits this week and have quite liked having sharon fruit (persimmon) on our morning porridge. We are now trying pomelo - even though you seem to chuck away most of the fruit, there is actually loads left.
Now looking at different ways of enjoying pomegranate, which may go into a crab and avocado salad. Unfortunately, the avocados have gone off, so we'll have to shop for these again!
I did manage to calm my after dinner sweet tooth tonight, by having some homemade plum clafoutis (made with egg and greek yoghurt), which actually is really nice.
Apart from thinking and eating food (hey, that's why I'm on MFP), I have been to my body combat class a couple of times this week - once to keep me from thinking about our recent family bereavement and today, because its something I really enjoy doing and keeps me sane!
It's my turn in a couple of weeks to cook for my girlfriends (previous teacher pals - where we compare the different aspects of teaching in different schools -well, it is actually a chance to gossip and catch up!). This is something I really enjoy doing, as it gives me a chance to cook something new. Rather than going for a particular cuisine, which I normally do, I'm going to go for a 'retro' night instead...I've got as far as prawn cocktail with marie rose sauce and baked Alaska. Just got to decide on a main course - could be coq au vin, beef bourguignon or duck a la orange! Cheese and pineapple on cocktail sticks could also be a bit of fun!
What are your favourite childhood food memories?0 -
I haven't posted much but I am enjoying reading along!
Getting workouts in is generally not a problem for me - I have 2 gym memberships and I play tennis 3-4 days/week. Plus we have a treadmill at home so I really have no excuses. This week tackling the ice and snow on our driveway has been my main workout!
I try to track food but always seem to cheat in the afternoons. I gave up desserts in January, mainly so I'd make better snack choices, but now it seems peanut butter has taken the place of the sweets I used to crave in the afternoon. I'm trying to be more mindful of it, but days like today when I had a bad night of sleep and am more tired, I overdo it. I'm continuing the no desserts and limited alcohol into February for now. But I have 2 trips coming up later this month so I'm sure there will be more eating and drinking involved then.
Have a good night Warriors!0 -
