I have to say I did have a fun weekend. I didn't do great,but it wasn't too bad either. I did do a little mindless eating but caught myself, I didn't always make the best food choices but I watched my portions and did pay attention to the hunger scale. I also had only two drinks each day which was great because there was a lot of drinking going on. Everyone is here on vacation and I can't afford to be in vacation mode every time someone is down. I am back on track today and I do not have any regrets for the weekend. Now to work on cleaning up my eating a little when people are visiting .

@cyndiesstuff Sorry that I was MIA . I was not expecting that. I should be good for a bit now. Lol! Hope your pain is better today. The heat is bad enough but having pain on top of it makes things worse. I am not surprised that you are stressed. Take one day at a time.
@kirsten11872 It is Vegas time already! Whoo hoo! It is ok to weigh in Wed for this week. Make the best of the time before you go and have a plan while you are there. Hope you have a great trip!
@amsandos Congratulations on passing your test!! I am not surprised though-you worked very hard at it. I think a plan for the week is a great way to start getting your eating under control. Maybe you should think of making a plan for stressful times too and maybe what you can do instead of eating. Planning is key! I also broke the pact yesterday. I wouldn't mind restarting in August if you are interested.
@hope002 Yes that is so true, they do say that most weight loss is the diet. However, you did have an active vacation so just think if you didn't. Give yourself credit for all the exercise you did while away. That isn't too bad of a gain for being away. Sounds like you are doing a good job getting back on track, you had a good day Saturday!
@ljdanny Ugh! It is just too hot. Pool day sounds perfect to me!
@Mrsbell8well I wanted to give you a hug when you when you were counting your blessings. Life is good! xoxo
@DananaNanas The scale is still moving in the right direction. How are things going? Are you getting to the gym? I forget if your husband goes too...Check in if you need anything. Hugs my friend.
@carlsoda I am glad you are feeling better. I know even off the Whole 30 you eat super healthy so I know your eating plan with be awesome!
@CassieGetsFit2013 I am glad you got your batteries finally I know you do well when you log your food. Maybe make a plan with your food and exercise. Just do something simple that you like for 15 or 20 min and increase it a little each week. You just need to get back on track. I know you have a lot of other things going on but take some time to take care of yourself physically too. Let us know if you need anything. We always love to hear from you!

Hello Team! Haven’t been able to check in as its been a chaotic couple of days. Detroit got hammered by a big storm. My flight from Detrot to Harrisburg was delayed several times and ultimately canceled and I was forced to spend Friday night in Detroit. The entire airport was shut down for hours. Hotels were booking fast but I was able to find a room and made it there around 1 am. Rushed back to the airport first thing in the morning as I was rebooked on a morning flight but sometime overnight I was bumped to a flight scheduled for late saturday night. Delta and Detroit airport failed miserably. What a nightmare. You truly see the best and worst in people, mostly the worse, during times like these. My heart just broke for so many people especially the elderly, handicapped and those traveling with children. I had it relatively easy. I kept thanking my body and mind for the stamina, energy and calmness it provided me LOL. I was able to get on an earlier flight but it was also delayed multiple times. Finally made it Harrisburg late Saturday afternoon and my husband and I were able to go out for dinner as planned. We spent a lovely day together yesterday but its too hot to do much. A short visit was made that much shorter.

Eating and water the past few days have been horrible. Today’s food and water will be better. I fly back home tomorrow. Retaining water big time from all the sodium and the heat. As soon as I return home plan will be to get off this sodium train and get my digestive system back on track as well. Think I will spend some time today planning the week’s menu so I have no excuses. I have a hard time kicking salt once i start consuming alot of it. We have a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon so maybe my husband will be in from work early. Doubtful but a girl can dream LOL.

Been trying to keep up on posts but its been hit or miss. Congrats to all the successes and hugs to those of us struggling. Wishing everyone a great week!

Yesterday was a pretty good day over all. Went to my daughter's house and had a nice boat ride around the lake (her inlaws have a pontoon and they are neighbors), had fun with baby Owen - oh he is such a happy boy. He's 6 months now and we were sitting down, him on my lap, playing with his toys and he kept looking up and smiling at me. He was happy! We're also started planning a visit with other daughter who lives 6 hours away for a long weekend. Adeline (who is 3) and I plan to make some healthy paleo cookies when we come to visit them. So we were talking about what we would put in them. She had some good ideas...bananas and chocolate chips LOL! I think we'll have lots of fun making some cookies!!

Yesterday I also did Day 1 of C25K!! Breathing was great - I haven't lost that but my legs definitely are weaker! So tonight it's yoga for me and Tuesday I will tackle Day 2! I haven't ran in like 2 years

@nstephenson01 - oh my goodness what an experience you had! Detroit isn't the funniest place to be either. Glad you did make it albeit a shorter visit.

@sleepmom5 - hey great job this weekend! I know it's hard having visitors and trying to stay on track. That's a challenge in itself!!

@mrsbell8well - ok I'm going to check out that site too. Sometimes I get stuck in a rut with fruits and veg and it would be nice to be able to do more! Thank you!!

@twyla77 - cutest puppy every!!!!

Hello and happy Monday everyone. I had a great weekend on my canoe trip and although I didn’t eat my normal food I was able to actually lose weight. I always think I can’t make it if I’m out of my routine, but I think that’s just some negative thoughts that go through my head so that I can talk myself into eating poorly!! It’s all a psychological game isn’t it!!

@cyndiesstuff I actually have a plan for today and I am really going to try to do that all the time.
