@raleighgirl09 Congrats on the loss. Hang in there, life seems busy and flies by, but it's good that you can be there for your mom.
@Katmary71 I'm glad to hear your pain is a little better. Thanks re: my pain level...I'm going to make an appointment with a pain management specialist. Yesterday, my doctor prescribed me the equivalent of Ibuprofen and of course it didn't help!
What are you studying in school? I will be thinking good thoughts for you.
@AustinRuadhain That's great that you aren't eating sugar to get through, congrats! Thank you re: the pain level. I hope it improves soon too.

Tomorrow is move in day. (both kids- off to college) Sometimes I'm happy and excited for them. Sometimes I'm sad for me. There are several things I'm looking forward to once this is done. I skipped some weight lifting and cardio videos this week- took walks to think through my feelings. Did some journaling. Didn't log or pay much attention to food. Looking forward to getting back on track next week. Have a good weekend everyone!4

@Cornanda I wish you and your kids the very best as they go off to college. It will be good for you to get back to focusing on yourself.
@GretchenReine Good job on doing an hour on the treadmill and getting in all your steps. If you just keep doing it you will find that exercise will become a real habit that you will want to do. embrace the What I’ve gained in strength and flexibility is my motivation to embrace the sweat and sore muscles.
@AustinRuadhain First off I had to Google Mexican Coke to find out what that is. Reviews say it tastes better than American Coke. Could be a nice gift idea for a friend of mine who is a Coke enthusiast.
Good for you for not giving in to the sugar calling your name. I LOVE Topo Chico!! My DH came home today with 10 bottles of San Pellegrino for me because the store was having a really good sale. Normally, I just get plain store brand seltzer, so this will be a nice treat. :grin
@Katmary71 How are the cats doing today? Can’t say I’m surprised to read that the tiny female is the boss. :grin What are going to school for? Sorry if I should already know this.
@raleighgirl09 Wahoooo on keeping your weight under 170!! And hey, you don’t worry about replying to us all right now. You have a ton going on and we are just happy to see you pop on and share your life with us.
I hear you about working lots of hours. I did 50+ for years and then went part-time at the church to only going in one day a week due to COVID. I admit that I’ve gotten very used to being home so much.
Hey Team! Sorry I wasn’t around yesterday. I ended up working extra at the church because my Pastor took us all out to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant and then I had to go back and do a bunch of stuff. I’m teaching children’s church this week and also needed to figure that all out. I’m excited to get to hang out with the kids again. I haven’t been with them since March! I was surprised to lose weight after eating Mexican yesterday but that was really all I had. I came home and announced that I would not be cooking dinner. DH had gone out to lunch as well, so he just went and grabbed my mom a sandwich from Subway. Today, we are going out to Chinese as a special treat and tonight I might have a couple of wine spritzers. I did do a pilates workout this morning and cleaned the house.
Have a great weekend!! *This kids face kills me!

Hey gang!
Friday check-in
Exercise- arm cardio, abs, resistance bands for the splits
Calories- slightly over
I'm studying data analytics, I have my degree in psychology (loved experimental psych) but when I started doing better returning to go to grad school was out so I decided to take something to make myself more marketable. I started with straight IT but it wasn't a good fit and discovered I liked data analytics in my business Information systems class. I couldn't get two of the three classes I needed until now, I wouldn't have been able to physically go to college with how limited I am so Zoom is the only way I'd have been able to take them.
Cats are doing good, still some minor power struggles. Their "gotcha" day is next week, it will be a year. A year ago I was by myself just feeding the ferals and now I have two cats, am seeing someone, and have his two cats here when they come over. I'm going to celebrate their day with all the cats here so it's a party. Yeah, I don't have kids!
I was going to give up on the splits but dreamed I was able to do them so I'll have to keep fighting, I haven't improved much this month! That's what happens when you forget the person who told you 2 months is enough is 20 years younger!
@GretchenReine way to go for making it to the gym! The sweatier I get the more I earn my shower! I have essential oil soaps and lotions so I make it a whole reward, I pick what fits my mood post-workout. Keep rocking it!2 -

2 messed up days here, meal wise.
Thursday night with what I thought would only be a nibble. Slept bad, had a hard time waking up and been cranky most of Friday morning .
Friday afternoon picked my 14 yo and drove to my sister . I missed her so much, and it’s been so great just spending time with her .
What I have forgotten is how bad my brother in law eats, and obviously he’s the only one that doesn’t gain and has abs and such. So I had mixed Chinese, and icecream, popcorn, peanuts and wine. Last one , was the only one in moderation 🙂.
Now my eyes are all puffy, my fingers are like sausages and I am planning to have a meal just of mangoes and apples tonight at home.
I’m happy though, happy I came, happy they are fine, happy to see my daughter talking and laughing with them.2 -
@katmary71 holy cow - I just got around to watching this, I had it queued up from forever ago when you posted it. AWESOME!!!!!!!!! I am subscribed and shared with my son - he's going to love this!

WEEK FOUR starts tomorrow! Only one more week to finish up the month with a bang.We need some fresh and fun challenge ideas! This week's has been serious and reflective, last week was fitness bingo, what should we do this week? Please go over and post any ideas you have, no matter how incomplete or silly they might be --

@Cornanda I hope the move-in goes well. It sounds like you are doing what you can to take care of you re: the journaling.
@TeresaW1020 I hope you enjoy the Chinese food. I love Chinese food!
@Katmary71 That's good you were able to make school work for you.
Hi all. I'm happy to report I'm feeling about 70% better. Enough to cook dinner tonight, I think. This is good because I haven't been able to cook and we've either been eating takeout or whatever my husband feels like throwing together which may or may not be healthy.
I hope to kick it up a notch next week and have a loss of some kind. I have to turn this ship around!

I am so angry with myself and disappointed in myself. That doesn't help things to beat myself up so I need to stop it. I need to do better starting with the next something-or-other that goes into my mouth. I'm only hurting myself.4 -
@GabiV125 @trooworld - in the same boat as you guys. Started the week good and by Wednesday it just all went downhill. Work has just been crazy and the heat unbearable where I don’t really want to move🥺. Trying to try and rein it in today - let’s see how it goes.
Has anyone here heard of this app called Achievement? I guess it pays you for tracking steps? I was reading all the comments and people have actually gotten paid (in the form of gift cards). Sounds like it’s $10 for every 10,000 points so I’m assuming that’s 10,000 steps. Good incentive don’t you think?
Have a good weekend everyone!

@anido1 I have not heard of that app but it sure would be a good incentive if I could get paid to walk. :grin
@trooworld OK, you know that it doesn’t pay to beat yourself up so knock that off. I am positive that you didn’t gain that much actual weight in one week. You’ve too much sodium, which is what I’ve done the last two days and why this morning my scale was up 4 lbs and will be up again tomorrow. So, we get back on plan and drink water like it’s our lifeline. We got this!!
@raleighgirl09 Holy Moly that Wolf Totem music is incredible!! Lyrics and that dude’s voice not so much but the music is so good!!
Hey Team! Well, my mom loved the Chinese restaurant we took her to yesterday. I thought the food was fairly bland although I still managed to eat way too much of it. We brought home a bunch of leftovers that I made for dinner today. Two days of high sodium carbs will have my weight way up tomorrow. I plan to get back on my fasting and clean eating tomorrow. I want to finish this month with a loss and not a gain!

@TeresaW1020 all thanks to @katmary71 !! Some fun things to hear below that I like - and realize I don't listen near as often as I used to!
I just love all kinds of music and - for reasons I do not know - find I really like music that is not in a language I understand. I listen to the college station in town that has a lot of music I have come to really like such as techno, Indian (from India) and African. I love Asian music and sometimes they play Korean music.
When I lived in Okinawa, I came to love Okinawan folk music, played all day at all of the little shops as you walk down the streets. Some of that below - not for the faint of heart, I guess, neither husband I've had enjoys it... =>

I love the Shamisen - example of this wonderful stringed instrument below.
https://www.senzoku-online.jp/TMDL/e/02-shamisen.html
Some of my favorites are the drums, Taiko and traditional Okinawan drums - when you are at a Taiko drum performance, the earth shakes and you feel every hit to the drum from your feet on the ground up.....sensational.

I am still on a low fiber diet from my diverticulosis. Not great for dieting. But this week I can start eating more fiber again.3
