You can use the same numbers as last week. I'm sure I gained this week but I haven't weighed myself. I went to the ER this morning and had to have surgery bc I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and had my left tube and baby removed. I'm not sure yet when I'll be getting back on track with my steps but hoping I can get back on track with my calories as long as my emotions don't get the best of me. I'm an emotional eater and this is a hard month for me
I'm so sorry to hear this. Will be thinking of you and sending you virtual hugs. Take care of you.0 -
I had an issue connecting to the forum, so I didn’t post for 7/10.

We had our annual audit from our biggest beer supplier so my day was ling and non-stop. No time for the gym. But my goal was to be accountable this week even if not perfect. I still came in under calories as well.
Sun: yes
Mon: yes
Tue: yes
Wed: yes
Thu: no

I am also going to get these days out of the way cause I know what’s ahead. If anybody is familiar with Yuengling, this weekend is their breweries 190th Anniversary celebration. My company is sending me and my wife overnight for two nights to the local casino and we get to attend the festivities and concert. We also get a VIP area with an open bar and food. I know there is no way I will be under calories and I wont bother tracking. There will be lots of walking around both days, so that is a small win 🤷🏻♂️

Oh that sounds like the PERFECT fun weekend to let yourself slide on the tracking. Sometimes when I have happy weekends like that, it all balances out because of lack of stress and more walking. Hope the same for you!

Today was not a strong day, but I made the decision that I am putting my two weeks notice in at work. It is written, signed, and ready to be sheepishly handed over to management tomorrow. It will give me one week to move before starting this new job, as long as everything goes smoothly with the paperwork(hopefully no hiccups). If it takes a little longer, at least I will be able to take that vacation to Maine with my boyfriend during the first week of August!
I didn't meet my step goal, and I didn't stay under my calories(ridiculously unnecessary meal at BK led to skipping dinner to absorb some of those calories). I am calling tomorrow a fresh start, and hitting the gym in the morning before I head to work. I do need to cut myself some slack, but it is hard to, sometimes. I try to be pretty strict with myself!3 -

It's been too long since I checked in, and I'm sorry. Things are off the wall.
I test on Monday for my HR Cert - right now I'm failing my pre-tests. Not be a lot, but I should be comfortably passing at this point.
I moved a year ago to a whole new region to be with my husband - his job takes him on the road for long stretches of time - anyway, he's in the running now for a new job in a new region which ... would be really excellent for him, but we'd be geographical bachelors again. it's not the end of the world, but it has knocked the wind out of my sails a bit.
And work is insane. HR is never dull.
Anyway. That's the less nitty, gritty version of events.
By the end of the month my goal is to be tracking my food and seeing the scale pitch downward. And be back in the water regularly.
@HASWLRS is a gem. Thank you for checking in on me. No lie, there is guilt that I bailed, but I don't feel judged and really appreciate the pings.2 -

Sounds like a fun weekend for both of you. My husband loves Yuengling and was so happy when they started selling is west of the Mississippi. I know you’ll have a good time and get back on track Monday.1 -

Major decisions can certainly have an impact on our ability to stick to plans, but knowing you I know you’ll get right back on track. Hoping everything works out with the new job.0 -
Weigh in day and full confession:
As co-captain of the team I have access to edit the spreadsheet (an “advantage” I didn’t realize I would have initially), but this allows me to enter any weight in that I want without posting on the board. For the past few weeks I have been just carrying over my weight because it has steadily been on the increase. Not sure why my focus has not been where it needs to be, but after stepping on the scale this morning I decided that I needed to make a change. I will no longer just enter “a” weight into the spreadsheet. I will post on it on the board, good and bad, and be accountable for my actions. I think it’s the only way that I might be able to regain my focus and actually start losing weight. My clothes are uncomfortable, my joints are hurting again and I feel winded just doing my normal activities. I have to make a change for myself and my family. So here it goes - I apologize in advance for bringing the team down this week and I will do my best to get it going in the right direction starting this weekend.
Previous posted weight (not actual weight from last week, it was higher than this): 226.6
Current weight: 231.02
