Second week in a row I’ve moved in the wrong direction. Didn’t think this week was that bad! I ate pretty good and biked 90 miles.

Oh for Pete’s sake! The last pic I posted was fine. I tried to edit but couldn’t click the gear. Guess the real estate on my phone is too small. And I’ve still been having problems logging on. And my last message didn’t post. So I guess we’re stuck with my upside down mug. You’ll have to turn your device around to have a look at me, lol!

This is actually Friday’s trendweight - my scale won’t sync to include today’s weigh in for trendweight calculations and honestly I can’t be bothered to check what the issue is, I’m too busy resting and recovering from the weekend.

This has been a major holiday weekend here since it’s Midsummer, so I’ve been away from my iPad. Friday was Midsummer Eve so offices were closed. We had a barbeque party with some friends, and had an absolute food overload with seemingly healthy stuff. Of the three friends 2 are vegetarian and 1 had wisdom teeth removed last week so preferred softer foods. We grilled fish and lots of different veggies, had lots of wine, went to the sauna, us girls went for some traditional midnight flower-picking magic while the guys were in the sauna.

There are still some restrictions to prevent the epidemic (it’s almost wiped out here), one big one is bars and nightclubs forced to close at 10pm. The side effect of this is that the night buses aren’t operating. As a result, our friends couldn’t get home without paying for an expensive cab, so they all stayed overnight on Friday. Yesterday we did a brunch outside and and spent the whole day in the park just hanging out in the sun, playing board games and eating. Food was again pretty healthy with loads of fruits and berries. My husband put sunscreen in my back where I couldn’t reach, and he once again put too little and missed spots. My entire back is lobster red, especially the left side, and there’s even some blisters from the sunburn. He’s done this before, and I have to probably buy some sunscreen with dye on it or something so he sees what he’s doing and doesn’t miss spots... I didn’t sleep too well because touching the burnt skin hurts, and now I’m thinking I’ll wake my husband up to help put lotion on it. He does feel really bad especially since this isn’t the first time I get a bad sunburn on my back because he fails to do it properly. My dad had a part of his earlobe cut off because he got skin cancer there and I have a similar skin type with him, so using sunscreen isn’t a joke or trivial for me.

Today’s plan is to get back on an eating schedule instead of all-day snacking and brunching, and to go for a nice long walk if I can find some clothing that covers my skin but doesn’t hurt when it touches. I’m already anxious for tomorrow, I have to go to the office with my laptop, I usually use a backpack but there’s no way in hell I can put a heavy backpack on my back right now without screaming.

Boy, everyone has been quiet today. I hope that means you were with your dads celebrating Father’s Day.

Sunday night confession:
I had a really stressful week last week. It was the toughest one in a long while. Changing nothing, my heart rate jumped 11 BPM and I’m scared to check my BP. All stress. As of Friday night I was proud to say that I didn’t eat my feelings and I was still sober. Well, I’m still sober 113 days to be exact. As for eating my feelings - well in 2 days I’ve probably eaten as many calories as in the last 5 before. Yep, ate my feelings. And ate the feelings of everyone else around me.

Now what?
Well, tomorrow is a new day! A new beginning! A new opportunity to start fresh.
I have my protein latte prepped - just add coffee. I have my regular coffee ready. I have lunch ready. Dinner has been prepped.
Tomorrow I am back to my modified IF and my regular calorie count. Am I going to cut my calories to make up for the weekend? NOPE!!!!! I’m just moving on like it was a normal day. I’m not going to punish myself for being human and having emotions.

I bought a 2 day ticket for the struggle bus, but it has expired and now I must go back to my tried and true methods!

If you have experienced similar, please know you are not alone. Please know that everyone has hiccups along the way. It happens. How we deal with them after is the true test of character!

Hugs to you, my extended family!

Good morning!

I did eat my feelings, feeling stressed - my son and his fiancee are probably postponing their September wedding until next August b/c venue will only allow 50 ppl; plus, fighting a migraine for the past 2 days so more carbs to curb nausea 😔
Hopefully. I will get rid of it - I did a Beachbody workout w/weights to see if it will kick it....
Trying to stay on plan today💥💥💥

Thanks I needed that! Back at it today!

Congratulations @JOYfulNoise89 and @Arc130 !!! Great achievements!

Sounds like lots of us are in a slump. Me too. Trying not to eat but - well - 'nuf said.

Some of my problem is that normally I would be biking biking biking - my 300 mile September trip was cancelled - I can't find a weekend supported ride that's not cancelled - my riding buddy apparently doesn't want to be my riding buddy anymore - my bike shop cancelled its weeknight rides.... I did go back and forth to work a few times last week which was good - but it's getting depressing riding by myself all the time with no big ride to look forward to. I might sign up for a tour this fall but can't decide which one. I wish hubby would get his bike out of the shed but he just won't and I gave up asking.

So there's my slump. Then I tell myself that my problems are nothing. My family is all healthy, although one daughter is dealing with a husband with addiction problems - so that's weighing on me. I did have grandkids overnight last weekend which was wonderful. I need to focus on the positive and not let myself be dragged down by the negative.
