    Goals/Comments: Daughter got called to play softball. Not enough girls. Volleyball hasn’t finished yet so I’m pretty much on the road every night with her sports. I’m not allowing anything during the summer. I need a break. I really need to figure out a way to find time to start working out again. I miss it so much. No time for myself right now though.

    The enemy really tried to bring me down today so went to get a mani & pedi today and was humiliated in the salon they refuse to service me cause of my weight. This was disappointing but it was the way they handled that upset me the most. Instead of pulling me to aside, they were talking about me loudly in there language and had me sitting there for over an hour

    Holy cr@p this makes me SO MAD and breaks my heart!! I am so sorry you had to endure this kind of disrespect, especially in a moment of celebration.

    I too know this pain. At my highest weight I was invisible and treated poorly by strangers. I remember going into a clothing store, and the sales lady immediately ran over and said "There's nothing in here that will fit you. We don't carry your size". She seemed in a hurry to get me out of there and didn't even consider I could be looking for a gift? Or for accessories? Or for inspiration? Or for whatever flippin reason I want?? When I replied "oh that's okay, I'm just looking", she stepped in my way and blocked me from walking into the store. She said "I'm sorry but I can't let you try anything on. You'll stretch out the fabric."

    At that point I just walked out... and then cried in my car the whole way home. W.T.F!!

    People can be so amazing and beautiful and wonderful and generous and awesome. They can also be pretty darn awful sometimes, too.

    SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU GLORIA!!

    Urgh I’m so sorry for you both, things like that are awful and dehumanising. Neither of you should have had to go through that.

    It happened to me once too at a clothes shop where the sales assistant came over and asked me to leave because nothing was my size. I looked her dead in the eye and said “sorry I don’t think I can fit through the door again, I’m just too FAT but if you want to get your manager I’ll talk it out with them”. They let me browse after that.

    Tracked - Yes
    Under calories - No. I’m so disappointed. My power went out due to emergency repairs for a few hours yesterday evening so I couldn’t use my cooker or microwave to reheat my frozen meal planned food. I don’t keep much else in to stop me from lazily eating a sandwich instead of what I’ve prepped so I had to go out and eat. And all I could afford nearby was McDonald’s so I went well over :( oh well back on the wagon today.
    Exercise - Yes. Managed to get my 10,000 steps (though my feet are killing me) and I played badminton

    That is outrageous.... they most definitely should have accommodated you for a manicure and pedicure... customer service is so horrible in those places though--- I have walked out of many salons for having ridiculous wait times, etc.

    You did the best thing for yourself today by not letting bad vibes from others effect your determination and progress👏👏😇---congrats on choosing the positive path ---AND 58 lbs lost🙌 is AAAAAWESOME!!!! Congrats Gloria!!

    Thanks for your encouraging words this was a very grimy situation but just glad that my confidence was not shaken by other people like it was before or this would've really set me back as it was right in between what use to be my favorite fast food restaurants chine and e and Kennedy frued chicken.

    Hi Gloria

    First of all, I think it’s amazing that you’ve lost 58lbs so far, that’s definitely something to be proud of. I’m sorry to hear that you were treated in such a disrespectful way today, there is NO place for that kind of behaviour. I know that those kind of hurtful comments can sometimes discourage people but I hope you continue to stay positive because you are doing amazing! Tomorrow is a new day. I hope you get to treat yourself to something nice tomorrow. Stay strong 🌟 🤗

    Thanks for the encouragement. Oh yes I will continue to be strong and focus on my progress. Today will be a better day. What sucks is this was my first outing for the year. Unfortunately today is my rest day and don't know if I'll be getting my nails done anytime soon I'll just wait till I hit that 75lbs mark

    That happen before too. I remember way back when I first lost weight I revisited the store again and said "REMEMBER ME you kick me out for being to big, well look at me now but you lost this business bye" I remembered the look on her face but it felt so good. I might just do that to them as well maybe. . .? Anyway thanks for your encouraging words and I'll try to keep my focus on the positive people.

    Wow don't you hate when you plan & prep and the power goes out do there goes your day. That happened to me in Denver Co I was there for a week at the resort for my Master's degree graduation and my sister just left as she only stayed 3 days but had prep 5 days worth a food and the power went out that day. I wound up ordering in. So yes these things happen but just get back on the wagon.

    I love how you turned the tables on them. I was too emotional and didn't want them to know they upset me to the point of tears so I just kindly text my cousin and when she finally got there she let them have it of course they try to cover it up and say we weren't rude but she wasn't having it. Mind you that was her nail salon that I travelled all the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn for but we still had a good time afterwards.

    I knew TOM would screw me up.... I was really hoping for a loss. Even a tiny one. But I guess a tiny gain will mean a big loss next week. Hopefully. I still want to get to the 140s by the end of April.... even if it's 149.99999... hahaha

    this week went pretty good. i didnt get much meal prepping done but when i did eat out i looked at the menu first to keep my calories low. I also ate before going to an event that i knew would not have the best choice.

    Goal for next week: meal prep and not eat out for lunch

    • Comments: Did not have time for lunch because of work. I did not want to binge to make up for it so I left the day with 1200 calories remaining. (2200 calories short of maintaining weight). I will need to find some healthy snacks to keep at work for when I do not have time for lunch. The short term weight loss is nice but it will hinder my future results.

    Ok so I must confess I tried to sabotage myself last night.

    After I completed my diary I ate a bunch of jelly beans and some chips. Don’t think I went much over calories since I had plenty left but I was way over on sugar and carbs. Sigh. My TOM is approaching but that’s not an excuse cause I just have to work harder to control myself! I’m not one for throwing stuff away or restricting what’s in the house, I rely on my willpower to keep me in check BUT those jelly beans are now in the trash!!
    We are the master of our own will! Let’s stay powerful!!

    Hi Slimsons!

    Hope you are having an excellent day!

    Working a lot here but in the fitness groove. Hope I can keep it up! Started resistance and weight training today at my gym. It’s out of my comfort zone - since I’m such a soulcycle gal - but trying to whittle down the leftover fluff here! No pain no gain right?

    Daily check in : 4.4
    Tracked - yes
    Calories - under
    Exercise- 45 min lower body Blast - focused on bum and outer thighs. 20 minute insane Abs - ouch.

    Goal - keep hydrating tonight - make my 96oz goal, get projects finished and good sleep for a long day tomorrow and then repeat!
