Midday food update. I did better than I thought so far. Ate 1 piece of cinnamon toast, all of my smoothie, lunch leftovers but only 1/2 the salad and saved the cornbread. Hoping to have both of those in a few hours before hitting fast timer. Did I mention I also brought 2 lemon cookies? Hoping to eat 1 of them shortly. My lunch was delicious. I am optimistic that I can survive the rest of the day.

Check in for Thursday
Food Ok but went off plan and had a snack
Water at least 64 oz
Exercise 45 minute walk. Pt, strength and stretching.

Not bad, 2.4 pounds this week. I had a pretty good week, not perfect. It feels good to feel like I am finally back into a routine. The girls and I had to get blood drawn this morning for the Covid antibodies. I am interested for the results. I probably won't get them until Monday since it is the weekend. Since we were out, I ran some errands too so that is why I am off to such a late start. Hope everyone is doing well

I also am sending friend requests out to our newer members. If I missed you, please send me one. I am behind with this.


@Mrsbell8well Good idea to have healthy snacks available at work. Looks like you are covered for any craving you may have!
@nstephenson01 I don't know why what you said clicked in my head this time. I am a fast eater too and I do notice that I am stuffed after I eat a lot. I think I am the same way you are, I eat it so quick that I don't realize it until well after I have finished. I was starting to stop 3/4 the way through but lately I haven't even been doing that. This is something I know I need to work on but never put it together with eating so quickly. Great goals for May! Let's have a great month!
@lennoncpa Another loss! You have been doing great! Your son and Sunny came right when this all started so this quarantine is new for you. I hope you can settle into a new normal for the rest of the time we need to stay in. Maybe the rescue place will call again or you can ask to be put at the top of the list for when the next little foster dog comes in. Hugs!
@ljdanny That is basically a maintain too. If it is your TOM, I am sure you would have had a loss this week. I still think you are due for a drop soon so hang in there. It will be interesting to see what happens with work. This is the perfect time for your bosses to explain that they need to be strict with the rules especially returning 24 hours after an illness. I bet your hair looks great. I couldn't pull off color in my hair. I love a lot of the colors out there. The only one I don't like is this one green color. We are lucky with the pool water. Ours goes down the driveway and down the road to a drain. Hopefully your neighbors will be understanding. It will be nice when it is up and running.
@hope002 Looks like you had a great week! Great job! Thank you for all the information. You have been so helpful, I am learning a lot. I also went today until after 12. Normally I would have been obsessed with food waiting that long to eat. There is something about having that window that really helps. Nice loss this week too!
@Cafelelia Sounds like you had a pretty active day, no wonder you were tired. It is nice to have everything clean so you can relax and enjoy the weekend Next week is a new week so hopefully things will get better on the school front with your son. Did he have a lot to catch up on after he felt better? Hopefully the boys can relax and recharge this weekend too.
@CassieGetsFit2013 I hope the TMS treatments become more tolerable as you go along. I really can't help with the fitbit questions. I must have had a different one. I never had to put in walk. It just counted my steps for the day. I would be careful with the MFP calculations with exercise, they over estimate. I usually don't eat back my calories so I just enter 1 calorie no matter what MFP says I burned.
@taylorsjostrand Nice loss! Looks like you had a great week! Awesome start to May!
@bburrer30 We all have those days. Besides, you kicked butt the following day! Great job!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Parenting doesn't get any easier, it gets different Lol! If that makes sense. If not now, it will. It is awesome that they both have a drive to excel and they are looking into things on their own. Btw-tell your son to check out Villanova in Pennsylvania. They have an awesome basketball program. I went to school there and worked in their health center for a while. (Then he would have a contact person here if he needed too ). Hopefully your back feels better and no rain tomorrow so you can walk on the beach. I hope you don't "wake up dead" either Lol!
@nstephenson01 Awesome day yesterday! Sounds like you are heading for another good one today. Enjoy your planting. That breakfast looks delicious!
@Mrsbell8well I hope that your back starts feeling better. I hope the chiropractor opens up soon. I would think walking could definitely make it worse, especially if you are walking on pavement. I think trails or pathways are a little less of an impact. Hopefully you will be getting your pool open soon and can do some exercise there.
@lenka1 Nice loss! You are off to a good start this month!

The weekends don't seem like such a big deal anymore. Hopefully for some of us it is at least a break from schooling and work. It also may be a time we are doing some virtual happy hours or brunches. I like these simple tips to stay on track. I was actually looking for this to post the other day. Not only is this a good reminder for the weekends but also with being quarantined. Some of you are kicking butt with the quarantine but some of us aren't. This is a good place to start.

So far so good hitting my steps target thus week although Sunday looks like it will dip but managed to exercise more this week.

Great Sunset above the beach tonight but not a lot of social distancing going on. Obviously My husband and I kept our social distance. On Friday Los Angeles is going to start to move into phase 2 with retail opening for curbside pick up. Malls are not included. Some hiking is opening but you must wear a mask. Some beaches south of LA opening but only from 6am -10am and you have to be active (walk, bike, surf but no sunbathing) our beach is still not open.

Finally getting good walks in... started back on a new sleep routine. @sleepymom5 you are correct that I had created a good routine before stay at home was put into place.

My doctor is having me stay in bed for only 7 hours and go to sleep at the same time and get up at same time. He said it will take 3-4 days to get into a circadian rhythm. So I’m getting in bed at 10:30... meditating to a sleep meditation... asleep by 11pm... up at 5:30ish and go for a walk at 6am.

Off to meditation!.

Jilly, This is beautiful. It's so nice to see where you live. In Toronto, we're also moving to the same retail plan. Unbelievably we're having snow, which is so rare in May. We won't have to worry about the beach being crowded.

Weigh-in:

Weigh in day: Friday
Previous weight: 155.9
Today's weight: 156.9

This one pound feels like about 10. I'm glad I made a plan last week because now I have something to follow next week. Right after my last weigh-in, I came down with strep throat. I was on antibiotics and I feel much, much better now, other than feeling like a heavy slug. Onward!

@CassieGetsFit2013 I think the calorie burn has more to do with your heart rate than anything else. If I just select "workout" no matter what activity I'm doing, I'll have a higher burn for Hiit than I would for weights or yoga.

Okay, what if I don't select walk? Like, I didn't select walk today and did almost 3k steps and it still shows that I burned 434. I just want to make sure that is right or close to right, not completely wrong. 😊 Perhaps doing TMS made my heart rate sky rocket so I burned calories doing that. Hahaha, idk!

Cassie, If you've got it set up correctly, and you probably do based on what you're saying here, you won't have to tell it you're walking. That should just happen automatically about 10 minutes into a walk. Mine even guesses what I'm doing, for example cycling outside. I guess it knows based on my heart rate, the GPS says I'm moving, but my arms aren't swinging. It used to be funny when my granddaughter was a little baby. She could only go to sleep if I rubbed her back. If she was at my house, she'd be in a portable crib so I had to lean way over to rub her back, which wasn't easy and it was a workout. This could go on for over 20 minutes. My fitbit was really confused and decided I had been on the Eliptical. 😂

Well my son Max and little Sunny just left to go back to his home in Chicago. I knew it would end eventually but I am really sad and almost wish I could break out in tears so I would feel better! I feel so grateful that I was able to spend over a month and a half bonding with my son and watching Sunny do all his cute little puppy things!!!

Oh, Sheryl. You will miss Sunny. He's looking right into the camera at us here. We'll miss him too. 🐕
