GW - 170 I already forgot what my adjusted goal was for the wedding. I am sticking with my "big goal"

Sara - glad to hear of your good testing results!

Waving to all of you ladies~~

Off for a morning walk before the temps get beastly.

Tilliesmommy1 - Your supervisor is not a very helpful person at all from what I've seen. Hopefully you find a State job soon and it's better than anything else you've been doing.

Lynn - I can't believe how fast the days are ticking off now. I was texting with Kaitlyn last night, she was a little anxious about all that's left to do. I told her to buckle up and hold on, because it's going to be a fast ride now. 1 month today!

Twiley - That is so true, this is such a positive group.

Today I am working on some more tags for the wedding, I made 104 yesterday that were very easy, I just had to keep loading paper into the machine. Today I need to design some wording and figure out how to get it to print and cut properly. It will be a challenge, but I'll get it. I then have my swimming lesson tonight which is good because it's raining again, so no chance for a walk. I am so thankful for the rain though, it will help with the wildfires.

I am struggling getting my weight back down from the weekend. Too much alcohol and chips. I hope it drops soon.

Good morning!!! It's Friday! Even though there's a busy weekend ahead, Friday is a good thing.

Please let me know if you get tired of me posting my results.

I have a wedding to go to next weekend. (We seem to have a lot of weddings in this group. ) My goal was to be at 155 by next Friday. Well, I got there today--a week ahead of schedule. Now, I am adjusting next week's goal to 150. It may be attainable since I have another Kickstart challenge starting Monday. Usually, a 3-day Kickstart will net a 3 lb fat loss for me. Add a couple more and voila! five lbs.

We can all do this! Find a lifestyle and a way of eating that works for you. I found mine.

Have a great Friday, everyone, and enjoy your weekend!

FRIDAY - TGIF

I will have to email all people involved at work that these gaps in communication and resources needs to stop. Also include the Manager and Director. I document at home and leave there. So far it is nothing official on paper etc. but I need to state my demands as well.

Did not run to food last night which was a nice change. Had such a large lunch that I actually did not have dinner.



Wave to all who follow. Have Immed Sup at desk in morning, but will lurk later.

Sara - It sounds like a good idea to write email to everyone summing up what is going on and what can make things better. Find the perfect words and get it out there. 🤗

Tracy in TN - Please continue to post away! The whole purpose of this place is to do and say whatever necessary to help our own journeys go better and to help each other. 💪🏻🙏🏻

Waving to Dawn and Missy and Kathryn and Tracey in Edmonton and Lynn and Meghan and Suzu and Laura and anyone I missed and all who stop by later on.

TGIF Happy Hour is this afternoon!

Sarah - it sounds like you are in a precarious position at work. I know how that feels, I hope things turn around soon.

Tracy - I gained an inch when I had my first bone scan in the fall. I don’t know how I would have handled losing an inch. What is the Kickstarter program you spoke of?

Lynn - sorry to read about your Dad that will be a big lifestyle adjustment I imagine.

Hubby is home from work today due to rain and it’s messing up my routine. I’m trying to convince him to use this free time to do my bathroom door, but he doesn’t seem to budging. I need to get the door and drywall out of my hallway and hung before company arrives. I hate not being able to do this myself, I despise waiting on people and usually figure out how to do it myself. This is something I physically can’t do myself though so I’m stuck. Hopefully he comes through for me so I can stop nagging.

Last night I had my swim lesson and I was taught how to dive. I did it twice and then he told me to step off the diving box, I did that too and didn’t panic when I touched the bottom of the pool. I was quite proud of myself.

On the advice of my doctor, I eat low carb/high fat (keto). The group I follow on Facebook called Push for Your Better is run by a certified Ketogenic meal planner, Amy Smith-Hightower. She developed a Kickstart program to put you deeper into ketosis or reset your body to begin losing again after a stall. Stall is defined as 3 weeks or more with no scale or inch loss. She also says you can do it once a month, just to give your body a break.

I have done the Kickstart 3 times in the past 3 months and lost 3-5 lbs of fat each time. It does stay off for me.

It is rather restrictive and very minimal calories (less than 1000 per day). However, I do not feel hungry or deprived in any way during this program.

Sorry if that was more information than you were expecting. I am quite passionate regarding this new way of eating. It has literally saved my life.

The three-day program is below. Hopefully, MFP won't eat the image.
