Not on my game at all ... 🤷🏻♀️
@RaeWats I went all the way back to pages 1-7 of the August chatroom looking for your steps for July 31st and Aug 1. Do you have those I could get? I'm WAY behind on announcing our July winners. Please let me know by Saturday if possible.
Thanks!

Life has been super busy. My wife is working now and I am picking up a lot of household chores. We also sent one of our kids off to college. I've started going to the gym as well to make my walks a little more bearable and stary some tougher strength training. My weigh in tomorrow is likely not going to look great. Ive noticed some weight gain due to the soreness from strength training. Probably going to have my first gain in a few months.3 -

He is being transferred to Ottawa where they will drain some stuff and then surgery where he may lose either another toe or a foot. There are lots of people with major stuff going on in there lives on here. Cancer, tumours, accidents, viruses, deaths, surgeries (major minor and mouth). So I will pray for everyone on here for strength and peace.
@jennifersusanmcdougall I'm saddened to hear this about your dad. I hope he pulls through this (his surgery and hospital stay) as well as possible. You are right. There's so much bad things happening to so many at this time. 😟2 -

Went camping for my anniversary, so of course I gained 2lbs.
Good news, im down to working under 40 hours, only 3 days a week and on the 24th I will be back at my other job and back to being more active on here. Im so burnt out on my summer job, cant wait to be back at the school. Although this year will be interesting with Covid and all.
I'm glad you have some good news. I know you've been working so hard what with two (or more) jobs. I don't know how you do it!2 -

Seems like a lot of folks having a really tough week this week and my thoughts are with you all.
I also having a bad week. I scratched my eyeball on brambles earlier in the week and then my poor, scared rescue dog bit my neighbour on Friday. The dog was air snapping to try and get away from him and caught his arm. I feel devastated that I didn't protect either of them by telling the neighbour to back off when I knew the dog was already stressed by the car journey.
However if there is anything to teach people from this it is that don't lean over and rub a dogs head or ears when you've been told it is stressed (even if you've met the dog before) and if a dog growls at you, stop doing what you are doing to it. It's trying to communicate it is unhappy, without confrontation. If you carry on the dog may have no option but to resort to something far worse!
Sound off completed. Sigh. ☹5 -

With the emotional week I've had, my biggest challenge was on two completely opposite sides of the spectrum...I had days when I couldn't eat at all and it was difficult to do so...other days, it was a struggle to not consume everything I could find...so my challenge can be summed up under "emotional eating"...I had to really think...am I hungry and do I need this A LOT this week...
Hoping for a better week. I got to talk to my cousin Christi for a few minutes this morning. It was SO amazing to hear her voice...weak as it was...I got to tell her I love her and that made my day!

So my biggest challenge this week has been finding time to get every thing I need to do done. My wife has been working long hours. That has left me doing my work-from-home, cooking dinner for 7 people, running dinner to my wife at work, getting a kid off to college, grocery shopping, house cleaning, laundry....ugh....the list just goes on and on. I'm about to go off on my 'kids'. I say 'kids' because they are all old enough to help out, but have been so freaking lazy lately. Today, I decided to go on Daddy strike. I'm not doing anything.6 -
There were not too many challenges for me last week. The biggest one would be keeping away from the sweets, ice creams, and various chips that were being shared by all in the house. I ate some of it, but for the most part was able to refrain. I kept telling myself that I already had a gain in weight a couple of weeks ago and still needed to lose the rest of that. I ate fruit or drank water to stave off the munchies.3

It's been a really tough week for me.My brother John who lives alone had not been answering calls or texts from family members.Which was worrying as he had cancer.Unfortunately no one had a key to his house so after calling at his house & no response to knocking,shouting etc.We had to call the police to gain entry.To our great sadness the police found him on the floor of his front room with an injury to his head.He had passed away & the sad thing is he was alone & we don't know how long he had been lying there.He was shielding because of covid.
So eventhough I admit I drank a bottle of wine the night we found him.I could have comfort ate all week.I was dying for chocolate,cake etc but resisted it.I feel proud that my food was still logged & I stuck to my goals.9 -
OK, my challenge was that we went away for a long weekend as we had to cancel our family vacation earlier in the summer. We pretty much rested, ate and drank all weekend. Totally fell off the wagon. Got home today and jumped back on! This coming week will be a challenge to get some physical activity in. Just have to figure out how to do it. Regardless, aside from this weekend, I have been logging my food pretty diligently, Here;s to a better week ahead!1

This week has been another struggle. Several days ago my mother had a seizure and she’s back in the hospital. As most of you have heard, she had a small stroke in January, a bigger one in February and a traumatic stroke in March. I kept hoping that somehow she would regain some functionality. But she hasnt, and with this seizure we are being told that it’s time to have a Pallative plan in place. So I have a meeting tomorrow with her care team to come up with her end of life roadmap.
I have eaten badly, drank too much wine and don’t really care about either.
I’m sorry that this week sucked for most of us.
Maybe we can let this week end and find our mojo again next week.1 -

@izzyred9400 My sincere condolences to you and your family for the death of your brother. I believe that no one dies alone but are surrounded by angels and ushered onward. May you be comforted by memories of better times and may your family and friends stay close as you start to grieve. It's never easy...talk to us too, we're here!
Please take care Izzy...
