Saturday check-in. Today has been a good day. Most everyone is fasting for Ramadan here so that helps me not to overeat during the day, but at night it's very difficult because of all the food. I have managed to avoid sugar and flour which is my main goal but I need to get back to tracking my food since getting over sickness. Tomorrow is a new day.
Glad you're feeling better. Yes, tracking is huge for me. Do your best! You can do it! I know you can.1 -

Day: I left the house a little after 8 to catch the bus to Walmart to get my Flonase and a couple of other items. I got back and took a nap. I have taken a couple of naps today. On my way back we had a girl in crisis pop into a group where I am an admin. So, I hopped off the bus early and walked a couple of blocks to get home earlier to have access to all of my crisis resources. Unfortunately, she stopped talking and haven't heard from her since. I have continued to eat despite not having an appetite to ensure I keep up my nutrition giving my body all that it needs to heal and recover. My scarf I was working on I had to frog so I am looking for another pattern I can work with.
My Day
1) My rent rebate finally came in meaning I can get my car up and going
2) I found a nice scented lotion I could afford.
3) I allowed myself to nap today, giving my body what it needs to recover.
Myself
1) I am compassionate and want to help others
2) I am dedicated to taking care of myself, even if that means not exercising for a change.
3) I like my Irish nose.0 -

Tomorrow starts the weigh-ins for our week #4 No Gain challenge! There were 9 of us that accepted the challenge. I sure do hope my flub up last night didn't ruin all my week's hard work! I did great today!!
@MaelynMayhem ~ I'm so glad that you are taking care of yourself. Excited that you can get your car up and running, too. Have a good rest of the night and hopefully you hear from that gal soon!1 -

I was hungry, irritable, and tired. --- umm… signs of MID-TOM or TOM for me. It’s hard to tell since I’m perimenopause.
So with all that said. I’m not beating myself up anymore and I do feel better. Thank you for letting me post. Here is what I learned and can continue to do to stay on plan, but heal self:
When hungry, irritable, and tired….- 1. If I’m THAT hungry in the morning, recognize it and eat a small snack. You were at the store!! Being too strict doesn’t pay off, it leads to a binge!
- 2. If fighting the urge all day, again; look at your pre-logged MFP diary and figure out a snack, even if it to give into that darn ol’ candy jar! Log and eat just one caramel. 60 calories are better than a binge!
- 3. Go for that 10-minute walk you intended to do. JUST DO IT! Yes, knees ache a little, but you have ibuprofen in your desk. GET out of the office!
- 4. When getting home stick to the routine, even if tired!! Change clothes. Change Attitude. “Home. Sweet. Home.”
- 5. If that tired when getting home, rest before eating and sip your tea. Calming and filling.
- 6. And when you see “his snacks” or not-so-healthy food; make a plan. You did that the other night, you managed a healthy dinner and exchanged fires for other carb and added a hot dog to dinner instead of a snack. So you know you can do it and have balance.
- 7. Eat mindfully and slowly. When that tired, sit at the dinner table.
- 8. When you’re hungry, tired, and irritable you need to be kinder to yourself. Maybe a bath would’ve been in order; then he could have also played his music.
- 9. It’s like you had a hole burning through you all day, you need a healing moment or two. So exercise while he was gone to the store to get out the frustration and burn off some rage and then a bath to help your body aches and soul.
- 10. Then be sure to get on @RTM and read for inspiration and encouragement, offer support; and journal your day.
Again thanks. That purge felt good. It felt like a conversation over coffee. @jwall309 @j0d13mcc Didn’t we talk about sitting on the kitchen floor having deep moments before?
Okay… enough about me. Onto your posts, AFTER I take a walk. I feel like I need to get the blood flowing and now purge any lingering emotions from last night and this morning's reflection. A time of HEALING for myself. Plus get some endorphins into my system to have a good day! I'll be back soon.
🤗hugs🤗
Hahaha yes we did, I was talking about my best friend and I always end up chatting in the floor.... for hours at the end of a bottle of wine lol.....2 -

One thing I did well: Bounced back the very next day after a binge. Phew!
One thing to improve: Have an extra snack packed, it’s better to have a mini-indulgence of 25-60 cals; than binge!!

Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Got my 6 days of exercise in this week. Took today off.
Goal/Day: Not much going on today. Went to church, soaked up some sun on the deck, then had a chill afternoon. It was nice. I'm proud of myself for being back on track today with food intake. I am very worried about my weigh in tomorrow as I had a couple of not so good days this weekend with drinking and eating. Ugh. I will keep it honest though. I'm expecting a 3 lb gain, but lets hope not. I drank a lot of ice water today to drain my system. We shall see.2 -
Hey guys, I’m just home late and have weighed in at 183.86lb. I’ll update fully in the morning... I just didn’t want to miss Sunday...1

Track: Yes
Calories: Under; Limit 1500/Actual 1381
Water: 36 cups (all these antihistamines are making my mouth dry)
Exercise: 0
Day: It's been an alright day. Found what I needed at the store and had enough money to cover it, which is always nice. I weighed my backpack when I got home as I stuffed it full of the purchased groceries to not have so much to carry: 23.2 pounds. At least I didn't have to carry the pack very far. I tried to do my laundry at 3 and found a neighbor down there taking up all the machines because he was tired. It frustrated the heck out of me. I have been sick for awhile yet I still keep my courtesy towards others. I ate mostly soups and crackers today. I will fix something else tomorrow. I was going to try to do yoga tonight but I did laundry instead.
My day
1) I didn't need to put money on my laundry card.
2) I got to rest some more today.
3) I really enjoyed the flavors of the the soups.
Myself.
1) I'm courteous, usually.
2) I'm willing to make a commitment to do something to improve
3) I try to support others.0 -

The sun isn’t shining and it’s still raining! 😝 I’ll have to remotivate myself to get my day started with some indoor cardio instead of a walk! I found some videos yesterday that I can easily do in the space I have - a 15min walk and a Zumba fitness steps guide. I'll look for more as time allows. But, I have improved/increased my exercise over the last few days and knees aren’t so sore. Hope to see the scales keep moving down. Lots of posts to get to this morning, that should help motivate me to keep on being positive and get the exercise in, too! Because you are all aMAYzing!! So let’s slay this Monslay!
@jwall309~ So happy to hear your attitude. Glad you had good days with your mom. I thought of you when I did the 15 min 1-mile walk video yesterday. And l👀k at you in the top three for week #3! 👏 Whooop! Whooop!
@jupdyke ~ Thanks! 👊 I was surprised. Yah for Sunday! Yes!! Back in the saddle. 6 days of exercise… wooohoooo! Here’s to being honest! 🙌 All we can do is live and learn.
@ajaia2001~ You got in exercise and ate according to plan. Some times, that’s enough. 👍 Especially on a Sunday and after a few days of being away.
@Toyota100~ Awesome! 👏 You had another loss!
@j0d13mcc~ I recorded your weigh-in. Look forward to the full update. Hope you are out and about and no longer bedridden. And congrats on being our top loser for week #3. Whoooop Whooop! 👏
@skullsandskeletons ~ Yeah! You tracked. 👍 You did the best you can since you are away from home. And you were honest with yourself. 🎈Yeah you!
@MaelynMayhem~ Yes those antihistamines sure do dry ya out. So glad to hear that you are taking the time to get well. 👍 Sometimes it’s hard to do the right thing, but you are. And you will back at it full force in no time. Dang! Your full backpack was like carrying a child on your back. 😂
@JammyPea~ oooooh! Another loss! You are having an aMAYzing month!! Whooop! Whooop!👏 And you were in our top three for week #3. Awesome!
Okay @RunTrackMinds, we are nearing the homestretch for this month’s challenge. Let’s finish strong! You have been motivated enough to be here and be part of this challenge. Now let’s dig deep and turn that motivation into determination. What can you do for the next 13 days to finish strong!? Can you eat 100 fewer calories or exercise for 5-10 minutes more per day? Or if you haven’t been, perhaps complete the mini-challenge for the last week or two weeks of this month. We all have good days and bad days. Life is sometimes hard and isn’t fair. But we do control what goes in our mouths, we do control making the choice to get up and move or get out the door to exercise. So let’s make some really good choices and intake a little less, burn off some extra calories, and get off some LBS to finish up the already aMAYzing month we are having!! You can do it!!
