Tuesday 12/3 check in
Food: logged and on track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: Just stretching and PT

I might as well just check in now. It worked! I lost the urge to eat after I was on here earlier. I did overeat at dinner even though I was within my calories. I was hungry and that point and just ate too fast without thinking. I don't like that feeling. Otherwise I had a good day. Decided to make it a rest day but got in stretches and PT. My steps were low though. I really feel like I am getting close to my hip and knee being back to normal so I am really trying to be careful. I haven't had a rest day in a while so I figured this would be a good time. Tomorrow is my Mary Kate day so I won't have a lot of time in the morning. I really need to go food shopping and I have been saving it for when I take her. At least I get something accomplished while she is in there. I hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!


@nstephenson01 I am sure this time of year is especially difficult with missing your friend. It is hard but it is so important to grieve. When my dad died, once everything was over, I just tried to go on like normal day to day but I didn't want to go out or to talk to anyone. My niece who is a psychiatrist told me I wasn't grieving. She recommended some books and every night I would spend time reading and thinking of him. It did take a while for me to get back to normal. I wish I could remember what books but I think they are all about the same. Not everything applied to me but it did kinda guide me if that makes sense. That also isn't helping with you being motivated. I didn't want to do anything at all, just what I had to do to get through the day. I am sure you are feeling that way too. Try to make a plan you can follow. I know it is not your normal routine but do one that will work with your husband being home. Just try to get back by making little changes back to what you were doing. You don't have to kick butt at first but just start where you are at and make small changes. You will get there. I like your goals for the month. It looks like you had a good first day getting back on track. I remember phase 1 of the project! Lol! I just wish he was home in nicer weather instead of the winter to do it. What is phase 2 going to be and will that be it or does it depend how far he gets? I also think you may have found another meaning of hangry -hungry and angry OR hasty and hungry right?
@Mrsbell8well Wait...you have a rowing machine! That is awesome! You are going to have such toned arms! Good luck with the canary-your Mom is going to be so happy! Thank you too! . Love your motivational Monday post. My maiden name was Price.
@tryingagain5 Thank you! Hopefully I have some nicer professional ones to show later. Some days your body just needs some extra rest, my guess that is what happened at the gym. I hope you got some extra zzzs in before work. I love your tips too. I totally agree with both of them!
@amytriesww Thank you Wow! I didn't know you have lost over 90 lbs! That is amazing! Has that all been since June? You have been doing it all and losing too. Being a Mama, a student plus taking care of yourself and kicking butt! You are amazing!
@lennoncpa Nice substitute! I go through phases myself. I hate when you are over one and not quite sure what is next lol! I am starting to not love my chopped salad so much anymore. That has been my go to dinner since the summer at some point Lol! I guess it is time...

Ok...I have a busy day so off I go! Have a great day everyone!



@hope002 Your workouts are amazing! You never cease to amaze me!! I can't even do a hula hoop at all. Lol! It goes straight down I am struggling with just 14 hours with IF. I would rather not eat at night than weight in the morning. I had to wait 45 min this am and it has been tough lol! One of the reasons I love this team is because we share everything. I do remember that it wasn't easy for you either but you persisted and look at you now!
@DanielleInProgresss Welcome! Thanks for jumping right in and introducing yourself! This is a place that you can share everything. Life happens and quite frankly everything effects weight. So much is mental. So share whatever you are comfortable with, we are a very supportive and helpful group. I have learned so much with the awesome group of ladies
@tryingagain5 It took me years to figure that out but I feel the same way. I did the strict, depriving diets and tough workouts and it just wasn't something I could keep up for life. I know it works for some people but I am not one of them. Get some rest my friend!

@DanielleInProgresss welcome! Love the intro. You will fit right in to our supportive group!

@freeglerock Welcome to our group! Your health journey/weight loss is off to a good start!

almost done with Christmas shopping. Just a few more goodies. I am going to start wrapping tomorrow night.
Day 3 of cleanse-today more acai berry juice, dandelion root detox tea, carrot juice, cold pressed green juice and mango juice. Tomorrow I start transitioning to raw organic fruits and vegetables.
@sleepymom5 Molly bought the rower last year but developed shoulder pain. I was looking for something for my winter routine and thought I might as well use it. I am excited about it. My new routine is 2 days of rowing 2 days of running and 1 day of walking, with yoga every day.

@Cafelelia I just saw your post about your FIL. I am so sorry. prayers to your family. Hang in there.

@Cafelelia sorry to hear about your father in law
Welcome members.
The snow has finally stopped, we had a lot of digging out to do. It's a short work week for me. I'm off Friday so I can do my Christmas shopping. Im also taking Monday off so I can wrap with noone bothering me. My granddaughter started childcare today. It's nice that she's at work with me so I can stop in to visit. I haven't done a lot of exercise this week besides shoveling so I don't think the scale is going to go in the right direction unfortunately.
