I need to get out in nature more, and bathe in beauty. I also need to get back on a regular eating schedule, and schedule a productive week.3

I had homemade pastry for lunch, and will until they're gone. This is not a healthy thing, but I'm on "vacation". I had to cancel the two I was looking forward to this year, and that sucks. I'd love to see Tennessee and Oregon sometime in my life, but COVID is having its way. Instead, I'm going to see the inside of a sfogliatella, and it's gorgeous! I've been wanting to make these for 15 years, and took the plunge! Today's neighborhood flower selection is a "fried egg" Matilija poppy since I'm doing a food-themed post. Have a blessed week, all!

@Be_theBest_Me I’m gonna try the smooth tea today4

Horrible weather had us up all night. The Southeast US was hit pretty hard. We hunkered down in our basement for about 4 hours - Still filled with fans and dehumidifiers from last week's water leak.
We are lucky. 5 were killed by a tornado about 20 miles west of us. I wont complain about no sleep since their family not only have no home, but are making multiple funeral arrangements.
Miniscule bad news - I stress ate everything. I am about to try to remember everything I shoved in my face last night...
Good news - the water mitigation company is coming today to get their equipment. My house will be quiet again. Now we can start the repair process.10 -

This is a highest I’ve been in several years I was supposed to help my team by losing a pound at least and I gained 3+ I’m sorry. I feel so like I’m letting food take control I need to get it back.

I've posted a gain for the first time this year. I'm giving myself some slack, as these are bizarre days we live in. Between the cold rainy days and pastries, I'm still optimistic for long-term loss. I'm gaining some muscle and took measurements over the weekend. I've lost more than 10 inches, which is a game-changer. I took a long walk yesterday, finding some new territory (and flowers) to explore. Today's flower is our state flower, the California Poppy. Incidently this is also my Mom's fave. She lives in WI where it only grows as an annual. Be well, people!

I just read in the news that instead of toilet paper, hair dye and other personal grooming products are now flying off of the shelves. Here is a new F2F group challenge. We want to see it all from you, the success stories, the greying roots, the crazy beards, the long bangs, the tussled hair. Post photos of your grooming successes, challenges or fails relating to you, your family or your pets. Maybe you have discovered your inner hairdresser or pet groomer? Maybe you went a little to crazy with the scissors? Maybe your roots are in high contrast right now? Show us what is going on!
You can post photos and commentary at the thread link here:
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10792163/the-good-the-bad-the-really-not-good-grooming-photo-challenge#latest
Have fun and we will keep this challenge going as long as you like!4 -

I everyone! Would you please put me on vacation, or something similar? I'm overwhelmed with life right now and need a break.
Thanks! Pam4 -

Sorry team I gained this week. I blame it on one too many jellybeans.

I spoke too soon! Went to the basement last night to squish in water again. Thinking about turning the den into an indoor pool...5 -

They look like beautiful lupines to me, and jelly beans as therapy aren't the worst option. Pastries are, especially the flaky ones that have been smeared with lard and filled with a luscious ricotta filling. Sfogliatelle are cheaper than a therapist but still costly on soooo many levels. I'm not even sure how many calories they are, but there's not much good nutrition in them. I'm still taking daily walks and DVD workouts to burn through a couple of bites. Today's flower is a dahlia that survived the winter and wanted to show off. Are we all grateful to be alive, eager to see the sun again? I'm looking forward to casting off all of this restraint!

Hi Beka, I wish to be taken out indefinitely, until I am ready to commit to the process. If you need to completely remove me from the team, I do understand. I can always reconnect with y'all when I am ready. Thanks!!4 -

Hugs to you @Pamela_Sue
How is it already/only Wednesday? Genuinely dont know which one of those is true but do know I'm exhausted, with too much to do but also needing the weekend to come round to catch up with this *kitten*.0 -

I agree! I feel like I'm in Groundhog Day- and it's perpetually Monday, or Sunday night and I've stayed up too late. I barely got through my workout today without giving up, and I think my neighborhood walks are saving my sanity. Today's flower is some sort of pretty sage. It's nice to see something besides the inside walls of my house.

Okay.... come on just need to keep my head and lose a lb in the next 7 days.... getting back into the 170s will hopefully give me the focus boost i need.
Currently suffering with toothache without the option of a dentist so I'm self managing it quite well but it's taking away my desire to eat all the time which is a win!
Steps were way down yesterday as work was insane, but staring at a screen insane, and the weather is grim this morning with another lonnngggggg work day on the cards so not really expecting am improvement on that front. But not dwelling on that, trying to focus on the positives!
Take care one and all2 -

Good Afternoonish.
Sorry I have been MIA a bit. I am completely exhausted between my 2 jobs.
I ended up taking the day off my main job tomorrow to try to get back into a better head space. I am down a little bit from last week but its better than a gain.3 -
