@CassieGetsFit2013 I agree with @Cafelelia and @jugar You really need to get some help when you feel this way. We aren't professionals and also aren't located near you so we can't give you the help you need. I am glad you feel calmer than you did earlier but I think when you start self harming, you need to reach out to someone. I am sure your family would rather have you talk to them than hurting yourself. If you aren't comfortable talking to them, you need to reach out to a counselor or a hotline that have professionals that can help you. Maybe your counselor can help you make a plan on what you should do when you feel like this. I think you should see if you can get in with your counselor earlier than Tuesday. Please call 911 if you need them. Hugs .2

Happy with 2.6 down this week. Haven't worked out at all- on top of the UTI, I came down with a head cold and I can't take any medicine this close to surgery so it's been a rough one! lol I meal prepped chili for the week and have been having waffles for breakfast and sandwiches and popcorn for lunch (not my usual, but easy!) so I'm staying within my calories every day. I did have 1 day when I literally had the urge to snack on everything- I realized I was just bored and I knew I would regret it if I did, so I just found something to do and made it 'til dinner. Victory! lol
I'm out of town until Monday, but I'll be reading along. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Salty take out food last night & some Baileys. I should know better to do that before weigh in day, but it was a long day with my little one being sick. Well, this gives me more resolve to stay the course during Christmas week! My little guy is home again today and I hope that he gets better soon.3 -

This post is a bit late. Yesterday in the weekly challenge, we were to think about what our 2020 goals will be. Today, we think about the “how”. So this is the “what” of my 2020 goals:- Get to goal weight (at 14 lbs, this is very realistic).
- Revise and update my wardrobe with new sizes/styles (I have already had to buy transitional clothing).
- Create/live a maintenance plan that is realistic and that I do for the rest of my life.
- Create/follow my new post-injury fitness plan (Is it centred on running or not? do I want to go for a half marathon this year? A 5k? Can I? Should I?)
- Dress nicely each day (I work from home and unless at meetings, it is easy to revert to yoga pants, sweatshirt, no make up & a hair band)
- Travel for fun more (we started in 2019, and love this).
- Find more creative outlets (this is something that I really let slide with a busy life. Not sure what I want to do, but will try out a few things).
- Create a plan for the next phase of life. (We are not retiring any time soon, but maybe want a place somewhere warm, which we could buy before retirement. We need to do research on this).

Friday 12/20 check in
Food:not logged but not bad
Water not enough
Exercise: PT and stretching
Finally a loss! I did well with meals yesterday. I just had a few drinks and some chocolate. I am not too worried about it. I do need to get back to following my plan though. All the little things add up here and there. I really want to maintain or lose during December and if I keep this up, I will gain. I have to run. We are going to see my Mother in law and then I am going to work out. I am not sure if I am done shopping yet, I am pretty sure I want to make sure I didn't leave anyone out. I also have to start wrapping. I hope everyone has a great day!
I have to really give some thought to today's challenge. I will hopefully post it later. I like that we are taking the time to think of our goals for 2020 instead of rushing into them.
@nstephenson01 Still a good loss! What an awesome NSV too!! I am going to do the same thing. If I indulge, I want it to be worth it. Not just something I will have everyday.
@amytriesww You are doing awesome, even with feeling sick! I hope you enjoy your time away.
@Cafelelia I am sorry your son is still not feeling well. When do you leave for your mother in laws? Hope everyone is feeling better by then!
@lennoncpa Nice loss! Awesome steps too!

The holiday week is almost here. It is time to start thinking about a plan. Do you want to maintain, lose or maybe even you don’t care if you put on a few pounds? Of course, there is the stress of the season as well, so a plan can include how to find some time for yourself and take care during the holidays. Here are a few lists to help you out.

Sorry I forgot to weigh in yesterday. I have been feeling like crap and then had to work late last minute. I had to also stop at the store because I was in charge of making sweet and sour meatballs for today. By the time I was done with the night I went to bed. Today we had a potluck and it was pajama day. My favorite day. I'm supposed to go out tonight but I'm really comfortable and that could change my plans. Not staying out late because I'm up early tomorrow to get my hair done. I ate well at the pot luck, I didn't really eat a lot. Big plus in my book. I'm now on vacation which I need.5

Thursday 12/19 check in
Food: logged and on track
Water: 56 oz
Exercise: 15 minutes on treadmill
I had the chance to either come in early or work late. Since Thursday is my volunteer night, I said I would stay late. There were a total of 3 of us who stayed. There were a few testers that kept breaking down so they needed the one that I was on so my OT for the day was 30 minutes, instead of the normal 2 hours. When I got up my back was sore, which seems to happen when I sleep well. If I don't sleep well it doesn't seem to be an issue. I basically just walked on the treadmill, not fast or slow, just kind of in between. The more I moved around the soreness lessened. Volunteered with those cute little kids and then went off to work.

Friday 12/20 check in
Food: logged and on track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: none
I got out of work at my normal quitting time. I hadn't planned on sleeping so much this morning since I'm not working tonight or for that matter not again until the 26th. I'm happy for my little mini vacation. Hoping to get a lot of rest while I'm off. I didn't sleep well but did sleep until early afternoon. Then I had a chiropractor appointment. I told him about my back being sore when I sleep well. He asked about my mattress. I reminded him of the new one. Have had a couple of months now. He thought I should have gotten used to it by now. I did tell him that once I get moving around the soreness goes away. He didn't really have an answer. Also, my body never does the "normal" thing.
After that I ran a couple of errands and then took my friend's dog out for her. She went to the other side of the state to babysit her granddaughters overnight and will he back tomorrow early afternoon. I often watch her dog and cat when she goes to see family. A lot of her family is on the east side of Michigan.
I was still tired so I napped for a couple of hours and then took Jack, the dog, out again. He's fine overnight so I don't have to go back over until the morning.3 -
My goal update for week 3
Goal: 4 fruits, 4 veggies, 64 oz water 4 days per week
Fruit:
1 day: 4
1 day: 1
5 days: 0
Veggies:
1 day: 4
1 day: 3
2 days: 2
3 days: 0
Water:
4 days: 64 oz
2 days: 56 oz
1 days: 48 oz
Met my water goal. Not so good this week with fruits and veggies. Going to have to work harder on this. Pretty sure it has a lot to do with potlucks and other Christmas get togethers. Also, working so much overtime didn't help. Was tired a lot and that's when I don't always make healthy choices. Going to my sister's house tomorrow, another party on Christmas Eve. Not sure what I'm doing Christmas Day.
I see I have missed a lot of posts in the last couple of days. I'm going to do my best to catch up/respond tomorrow and/or Sunday.3 -

Congratulations on all the successes!!!!
I have been in a stupor the last few days. Thursday I went home and slept a few hours then had to force myself out to a meeting. Brutal when your sick. Yesterday I had a 9:00 loan meeting and as soon as it was over came home and crashed. I have slept round the clock. Feverish, achy stuffed up. I broke down and took NyQuil and DayQuil. No yoga. Molly brought me some delicious drunken noodles from takeout. I haven’t been on the scale for almost a week. This morning Back down to goal. I had no concept at all of what I weighed. I just didn’t care. Saltines, juice and lots of citrus.
Still moving very slow. I am too sick to attend Christmas party and can’t make it to Skylynns birthday party.
I was so determined not to get sick. Alas, humbling to see I’m still human.4 -
Friday 12/20 check in
Food: not logged and ok
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: Stretching and PT
I did ok for the most part yesterday. I am snacking a little which I need to stop. I have been eating healthy otherwise. I didn't have time to exercise yesterday but will today. I plan to do it first thing once I am off of here. I also am getting away from planning which isn't good for me. It leads to me getting overwhelmed. I need to sit down at night and plan the next day out and what I am eating again. I was doing that until I started getting crazy with the holidays. I also haven't been checking in the evening here like I was. I really like getting on MFP in the mornings and evenings to keep my head in the game. OK, today there is no going out anywhere so I am going to concentrate on the basics-making a plan, logging my food, at least 64 oz of water and at least 6K steps. Little things add up! I am going to be successful through this holiday season! Let's have a great weekend everyone!!
@pacsnc6 Maintaining isn't bad, especially this time of year!!
@Cafelelia I don't know why I feel so behind and unorganized this year. I really appreciated the Christmas tips and the self care post. Sorry I haven't been around as much as usual. I am having a hard time getting back on here in the evening.
@hope002 You are doing great with the IF! Wow! Don't let that gain upset you. Weight is not always the best indicator of how well you are doing however I know how motivating it is to see that number get lower. Keep doing what you are doing and the scale will catch up. I promise!! Any fun ski trips coming up during the holidays? I live vicariously through you as I don't ski myself! Lol! I love seeing those pics!
@lennoncpa This is a tough time of year. Try to make a plan for eating when you have events. I agree, the scale going down is certainly a motivator!
@ljdanny Nice weigh in! Especially for the holidays. I can certainly see how being comfy coming out of pajama day would keep you in. Especially when it is so cold out. It is freezing here so I can imagine what New Hampshire is like. Great job with navigating the pot luck. It is funny. I never put thought into anything like that until the past year or so. I would just go, over eat and feel like crap the next day. I hope you are feeling better today and can enjoy getting your hair done and the start to your vacation.
@GingerPwr I am having problems too. I have been on MFP since 2012 and never have seen so many issues until the last year or so. Hope you are on vacation from school now and can enjoy the Holidays.
@tryingagain5 I was thinking about what you said about your back. I am wondering if when you sleep soundly, you don't move as much. Maybe being in one position for so long bothers your back? Idk, just throwing it out there. I think it is awesome that you volunteer with those little ones, especially with what a busy schedule you have. I also love that you enjoy it so much. Looks like you had a pretty good week. I haven't been doing as well with the fruits and veggies either. I was eating a big salad at night and now I am not so I need to make a point of getting more in. I am not 1/2 as busy as you and I have just been a scatter brain the last few weeks...
@Zumba_Luvah Whoo hoo!! Congratulations!! Good bye 190s! It is awesome that you did it this time of year too!
@Mrsbell8well Ugh! I am so sorry you are sick. Sounds like you are doing everything you need to. Rest and fluids. Hope you are feeling better soon so you can enjoy the holidays. xoxo

@sleepymom5
I was looking back at all my weigh-ins here on mfp (been a member since 2015) and I noticed that during the summer months I gain weight and during the winter I lose weight. Which is strange, it should be the other way around! Lol2 -

Friday check in
Food - logged & on target
Exercise - 7 k steps
Water - 1.5 l
Now the holiday busy stuff starts. We leave on Monday and are back on Friday. The majority of packing will be tomorrow. It is a lot to pack up the family Christmas. I have been doing it for almost a decade (since my FIL became sick). This may be the last time we do it, as we will likely change our traditions next year as my FIL has passed. I would love to stay home for one year at least! I also have to engineer Santa visiting our house with the big presents tomorrow morning, plus we have visitors coming this afternoon, and I have to take my older boy to an evening hockey game. Deep breath. It is going to be ok, and I need to focus on what really matters! I don’t have a lot of time to respond to everyone’s posts this morning, so I will try this evening.
Happy Weekend!!3 -
Week 3 Challenge - Friday Look Around
For the weekly challenge, on Friday, we were to look around and contemplate how we could meet our 2020 goals. Here is my “how”:
I have a lot in place already to meet my goals. I may need something different for my exercise routine, but I have to see what my PT says in January. If running is still limited, I may get one of those Peloton bikes & a subscription. For most of my goals, what I need is time and a little more energy dedicated to myself. I am in what my mother calls the “busy years”, where so much focus in on my kids, their school and their activities. What I need in 2020, is to dedicate more time to myself, not just for exercise, but to be still, be creative, dream and plan.

Some more holiday tips, there are some repeats. What I like to remember over all is that none of these tips are difficult. We can do these little things and they will add up to a successful holiday season!
I also know that I have been talking Christmas...Are there any other holidays we are celebrating? If we have Jewish members, Hanukkah is tomorrow.3 -
@Cafelelia Wow! I am having trouble getting ready for Wednesday and look at you! Enjoy today and tomorrow morning after Santa's visit (not the packing Lol!) . I really have been thinking about my goals and the challenge but haven't had a chance to sit down and write them out. I need to because I love how this challenge laid everything out so we don't make hasty goals that aren't well thought out and planned.1
