Thanks!

Hi everyone. Was just planning to read and go to bed but wanted to say hi first. @vegan4lyfe2012 I want to come over and have a good cry with you! Hugs my friend!

Hi, I am on this team but fail spectacularly at spreadsheets. No change this week 134lbs.

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I've been to the pity party many times and I feel for you. Logging on here was a great idea. Hugs!

@AustinRuadhain Thanks!

@vegan4lyfe2012 That's a good idea to move the temptations out of reach, WTG! I'm glad this group can give you some comfort and support.

Hello everyone! It was sprinkling when I got to the lake yesterday but I decided what the heck, I'm going to walk anyway! I walked a bit but not as much as I had planned. For lunch, I made a nice big colorful salad. I weighed and measured everything out, it was perfect. I even made croutons with my leftover sliced french bread in my air fryer @Katmary71 they came out really good!

My best friend told me about these super-soft PJs she bought off Groupon and told me I should buy some but when I looked at them, they only went up to 14/16 and I wear an 18. I was disappointed and kind of mad at myself and told her I couldn't fit in them but then I decided to order the 14/16s since I am losing weight. I don't like to buy clothing in smaller sizes like that because it usually ends up going to Goodwill but since I am having success, and it's so close to my current size, I figure why not?

Friday
Calories: over/under: over
Water: over/under under
Exercise: walk around the lake AND walk in the neighborhood
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: walk in the neighborhood, 52+ oz of water

I have a friend that started WW so I thought I would give it a try for a few months to help support her journey. I am still learning the process but I love the smart points and fit points. I did not track my food I. Mfp yesterday but am going to keep doing so because I believe calories play a big part.

@vegan4lyfe2012 My heart goes out to you. Just hang in there.

Check-In
FRIDAY: 🟢/🟡

Saturday check in and Friday catch up!!

Sadly, I didn't go on the bike ride yesterday - bike was good but the pal was not available. We'll go the week of 15June, I'm going to be at the coast all this coming week. Home of the Sketchy Scale. I've decided that this is just a thing - a hunk of glass and gizmos - and I have given it too much importance. It's one of many tools, nothing more and nothing less, and I am using this time to work on embedding that perspective firmly in my mind. So I'm going to manually log whatever the SS has to say to me each morning and let that be the end of it. Good, bad or indifferent. Wish me luck on enlightenment, pals!!!!

Friday - cals over by 332; not over what was allowed by exercise calories but over the 1300 goal. I made a decision before chips and cheese that I was ok with that. => Water over and 2 good walks as well as a busy day with lots of moving so the steps were good.

My food is all planned and pre-logged for today, that was something that I did not do yesterday. I'm ok with yesterday but I can also see that I didn't plan well...I navigated around it but it's good to recognize a first, tiny blip that has in the (sometimes not too distant) past led to chaos. It didn't and won't but as I continue to watch my habits - being my own coach and my own detective - I see it and give it a nod of recognition. When I am done with this post, I am going to log for tomorrow, it's one of the best things I can do for me!!

Pretty excited for the kayaking tomorrow! We're alI ready and will go early to beat the wind. I was a little worried yesterday that the sciatica was going to maybe make it a painful time but today has been much better; seems the car ride yesterday was aggravating. @Katmary71 I bet you know exactly what I mean. I'm quite lucky that it isn't a daily thing but it is edging up there and I'll need to start back with the chiropractor.

@gwamajtw91 excellent weigh in, way to go!!
@AustinRuadhain I love the candy story! YES - taking those small steps were the foundation of the excellent job you did in self transformation! You have a pretty amazing story, yourself, and I have really been watching how vigilant you are with food, tracking and keeping the habits doable and consistent. I think that has helped chip away at any notion I may have had about 'finishing' the Project of Me. Yeah - gonna continue to be a work in progress.
@2020shih @justkris_gettingfit @cornanda we all have these weeks - I, myself, had several between April and May. Just wanted to mention that, provide some solidarity thoughts and let you know we're all behind you!! =>
@cherrymajoni and @digger61 congrats on hanging GREEN, guys!, way to go!
@mrmcgrath I call this a good weigh in!! I'd probably do the same with the cals logging - I'm thinking what a neat opportunity to really be able to delve into the points/food as bumped up against calories! You'll have such a finely tuned perspective that will be invaluable when you use it with all of your other data! One thing is for certain - when you keep data and then take the time to review it and analyze it, it will show you areas of success to continue or areas of improvement needed.
@trooworld so happy for you for the loss but I get the disappointment, too. You have done so many great things for yourself and consistently showed up like a boss! The noodles will come and go (and hopefully always be tasty) but the water they cause will go away shortly. =>
@vegan4lyfe2012 chiming in on the 'hang in there, friend' as you know you can get into the boot and kick BOOTY!!
@camillasmith1987 no spreadsheet skills required! If they were, I'd certainly be in sad shape! If I haven't already said it - WELCOME!!
