@Cafelelia Happy Anniversary! Great pic. You have the best smile, your husband is a hipster, and your son is a love. I think there may be a Toronto news update today. I'm actually hoping we don't open up to soon. There's no room.
@jedaschultz Happy Anniversary! It's going around
Enjoy life and family and good luck getting back into it on Wednesday!
@KristieJC Happy Camping! After that workweek, you deserve it. Enjoy hiking, biking, and chilling with the family.
@tryingagain5 Whoa! You're an inspiration. I agree with baby steps but when you do the stairs those are big steps!
@melaniedscott Hahaha. I'm glad your hubby liked the Pooh Bear meme. You remind me of my daughter. She has a lot of ailments and we were told they were the result of a genetic mutation, but there is no stopping her. She's strong, like you.
@minstrelofsarcasm Just one word. (ahem).
@Mrsbell8well Great china! Umm...may I suggest trigger warnings on the glorious food. I'm so hungry lately and am bound to end up turning my kitchen upside down at any hour of the day to replicate this gloriousness. But I'm serious too. I l.o.v.e. your kitchen conquests and am a little triggered by them too.
@ljdanny I feel you. I think I'm plateauing again. You know, there is a lot to be said about not going in the wrong direction. There is so much to do in life with children, grandchildren, jobs, and houses to maintain. We are doing great. Don't forget that. We're going forwards and not back, and we will hit our stride from time to time and then we will plateau. We have each other. I'm so happy to hear you're going back to Zumba.
@pacsnc6 I hope this week is going well for you. Your weigh is great and I see that you have some small side effects now. It's amazing how strong you've been and how your body has been so resilient up to now. Hang in there. You've got your family and community, including us. Big hugs.
@hope002 Way to go! You're so close to losing 50lb and are so sleek and toned. Awesome!
@KUMEcyclingteam Great loss and keep the humour coming. You crack me up (in the best possible way)! Are you sure you're not Canadian?
@lenka1 Wow! Welcome back to the 150s. Thank you for your post about pizza and balance. I really needed that.
@bburrer30 I hear you about plateauing. I'm entering into that phase again and it's normal. Maybe mix it up a bit. There's a counterintuitive school of thought about having a day a week where you eat up to maintenance level to trick your metabolism into thinking you're not starving. When I do it, I carve off some calories from the other days to eat up to that level. I'm not sure that's even necessary. No matter what you do, forgive yourself, it's not willpower. Then shake it off and shake it up.
@kirsten11872 You're rockin' it! Love your enthusiasm as you hit your stride.
@Zumba_Luvah Yay! Great loss and even more awesome pic. You look fit and happy.
@timibotkin I love how you said, "I don't think it's as bad as it looks." And you are so right. What a healthy relationship with the scale. Thanks for that. You're doing great!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Loved your Pigs in Mud cake. It would have had little effect on me. When I was little, I used to say, "Chocolate makes me gag." Hahaha. I've come to like it more but it's not a trigger for me.
@CassieGetsFit2013 Great attitude on the maintain. Do you feel better after feeling so unwell the other day? Were you able to see the doctor? Stay well.
@annliz23 I just picked up some lemon curd yesterday. We're in a heatwave and lemons are not seasonal at all here in Canada. I hear you about the belly fat. I think I need to switch it up and add some cardio into my workouts.
@twyla77 I feel like my weigh-day quote might have been meant for you. You're doing so well and going in the right direction. Progress is victory!
@brown6267 I'm inspired by your step totals! Now if I could only get moving.
Congrats to @kirsten11872 @tryingagain5 and @Mrsbell8well on your leaderboard success this week! Inspirational!5 -
@1theresamcvean I understand about the triggers. I can easily get carried away. I think there is a way to post optional viewing for those that would prefer not to peek. I will play with it. Or if anyone knows the answer?1

@mrsbell8well - I realized this too with posting photos of my baking. I am proud of my creations but realized I may be tempting people when they are hungry. Last time I posted my son’s birthday cake, I used the spoiler function so that the photo is hidden and you have to press on the spoiler to see it. That way, if people are feeling hungry and don’t want to view, they don’t press. The spoiler function is above the post box in the “backwards P” drop down. You simply post your photo in between the two spoiler words in square brackets. Hope that this helps. Love your food and photos, but I understand if some folks are tempted.0

Stress eating hit me hard yesterday, so I'm curious just how my weight will be affected in my weigh-day tomorrow... I'm tempted to log everything I ate, but sometimes peanut butter shouldn't be measured by the tablespoon, but by the heart.5

Monday check in
Food - on target, also on target for alcohol limit for night out
Water - 2l
Exercise - 30 min walk
Thanks for the anniversary wishes everyone. We had a really nice day and evening. Back to reality to today and I am doing some IF today. I just received my first “back to school” marketing email from a clothing company. Omg, this is surreal on a number of levels. It feels like summer just started, but I guess we are in the later part of July. Plus, we won’t know what “back to school” looks like until a about a week before back to school. Everything is just wonky this year.
@minstrelofsarcasm - I am so with you on the peanut butter. Don’t worry too much about one day of stress eating. Today is a new day and you can leave that behind you. Maybe hide the peanut butter today too!
@mrsbell8well - I love your new craft supplies!
@twyla77 - Nice maintain and hope that you are doing well now that you are back at work. I read in the news about some COVID spikes in Alberta and hope that you are staying safe. It happens here in Ontario too, and I guess it is our new reality.
@annliz23 - Outstanding day! I am so impressed by your steps!
@tryingagain5 - Good day again! Resistance training is and weight/body weight exercises are so important. I am trying to incorporate more in my own routine. Good luck with the book!
@1theresamcvean - I am with you on Phase 3. I feel no rush to get there. Phase 2 feels like a nice balance of things opening, but still having safe limits, particularly with our mask by-law (which is not in place in a lot of the province). The owners of the restaurant that we went to last night are from France, which is ahead of us in reopening. They said that in France, many owners are finding it hard to maintain safety standards inside bars and restaurants, so even though Phase 3 would be theoretically good for their business, even they don’t really want to see it happen just yet.3 -
@1theresamcvean
Yes, the stairs are definitely big steps. It's hard for me, which is why I'm doing it. Same as the running/jogging on the treadmill at the gym but since they're still closed where I am stairs are what it has to be for now.1 -
@pacsnc6
It's ok so far but if I don't finish it I won't feel bad about it since it's not holding my interest yet. The books I like the best are the ones that hold my interest from the first page and I don't want to put it down. I'm not finding that with this book.
Some of the others in my club that have finished it said it started off kind of slow but got better as they continued to read so I'll keep going. I now also have another week to finish since the lady who hosts it had a conflict with the date we had scheduled so it's been changed to the following week.1 -

Happy Anniversary!1 -
@lenka1
That's a great screen shot. There's definitely a part of weight loss that involves the mental aspect. Everyone is at a different place in their progress, either on the scale or in the mental aspect of it. Some of us (me) forget that any progress, scale or mental is progress. I tend to look at how far I still have to go instead of looking back and seeing the progress I have already made. Others always point out to me what I have done and tell me not to forget that because what you have done is just as important (or possibly more important since it shows that you are able to do it. That's not to say it won't be hard because it will be but as the saying goes "anything hard is worth it")
I guess that's why my trainer has to remind of the "progress not perfection" and " baby steps" all the time.2 -

Please don't overly worry. I love your pics! I may have been sensitive yesterday and wondered whether it may affect others that way too sometimes. Of course, not every dish is like this. You create so many healthy foods and I often get my inspiration from you. It's just the decadent ones that get me sometimes. Big hug.
Also, did you know that Angela Liddon has a new cookbook coming out? It's "Oh She Glows for Dinner: Nourishing Plant-Based Meals to Keep You Glowing" I love her food and she reminds me a bit of you. She's a foodie and also weight conscious.2 -

Do you want to come over and clean my house.😉
Wow! 25 minutes jogging on the spot! That's great! I may have to add that in as one of my workouts.1 -

I love cleaning it burns so many calories and jogging on the spot doesnt hurt my knees as much normal jogging.🙄3 -
Tuesday 7/21
Food: under
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 30 minutes high intensity bodyweight exercises
I wasn't very hungry so I ended up under my calorie limit. Of course, before I had supper I drank about 32 oz of water. I'm sure that helped me in not eating as much today. Hopefully that helps with my weigh in tomorrow.😁
I'm going in to work early tonight so the extra on my paycheck will be nice. Now that they've moved so many people to other areas we don't have enough people to do the work so now we're allowed to work overtime up to 10 hours per week.3 -

I'll have to remember that cleaning burns a lot of calories. Maybe it will help me get my cleaning done.🤔2 -

Wow, your jogging on the spot is sheer dedication. I mean, I've done 400 steps or something for my Fitbit total but phew! Good for you. 0 -

Aw, Shelli, I hope things look up for you soon. Come by and say hi sometimes, no need to keep up with everyone's posts. Just say hello and we'll cheer you up if we can. Lots of hugs.2 -
