My apologies for not checking in more today. I worked a lot, lost my bank card, and tried to console my mother who is feeling lonely in her nursing home. It’s hard for her to know what’s going on in the world in the time of Covid. We are all so far away other than my sister, who I also spent an hour on the phone with. She has had her eight-year-old grandson with her most of the summer so his mom can work. He’s usually in sports and camps. So much rests on her shoulders. What a time we are living in. My hope is that we all become more resilient and balanced.

Hang in there everyone.

Weigh in
Last weeks weight - 165.4
This weeks weight - 161.4
Loss for the week 4 pounds

So I’m not sure why such a big loss this week. I definitely am surprised. Hopefully it slows down this upcoming week. I only want to lose 2 pounds a week. Side note - might be my imagination but I feel like I’m losing hair by the handfuls. Weep weep.

I got a new phone and it’s not ‘finding’ my Fitbit so I will report my steps later today hopefully.
I hope everyone has a good Saturday!

I really need to figure out how to get back on track with dinners. I splurged on chips and chips and salsa as soon as I got home then left and picked up fast food for dinner. I did stop at the gym on the way back home. I have one more week at work then a mini vacation followed by a staycation!

Check in for Friday
Food-not logged, probably over but not bad
Water-64oz
Exercise-none

Could have done better but not too bad yesterday. I stuck to my plan for the most part but ended up not having dinner because we had snacks in the afternoon. Then was hungry later, had too much cereal...I wish I just went to bed. It is kinda a crappy day today. We are getting ready to go to "breakfast" that will be my lunch. Daisy is sick too. I have been up since 4 am with her. I am a little afraid to leave her for too long. I did take a 30 min walk already today. I am hoping to do that at least one more time. I would like to do something else too but we will see how the day goes.
Next week I am going home Monday-Wednesday. I have a vet and a groomer appointment for Daisy. I also want to clean the house that hasn't had a good cleaning in about 3 weeks now. I really want next week to be a really good week. It will just be me at the shore, at home I am not "entertaining" so I should still be able to focus on me. I am actually going to plan dinners just for me and if they aren't interested, they can be on their own. This may be what happens when I get home for good too. I need to develop better habits if my family is with me or not.
Got to run! Hope everyone has a good weekend!



@Melzz19 Sounds like you have a good plan for next week. Enjoy your friend's visit!
@Mrsbell8well I have never even heard of watermelon radishes-they are cute! The salad looks delicious. Hope the rest of your day and your doctor's appointment went well.
@kirsten11872 Hope your hair turns out the way you want it. Whenever I am ready for a change, I chicken out Lol! I also hope you decide to do a date night this weekend. I am sure your husband doesn't get off from both jobs very often. Enjoy whatever you end up doing.
@timibotkin Nice loss! What a great week you had! Dinners are rough when it is only for you. Would your husband eat something that you can have too? I am going to have my first week of cooking for myself this coming week (well,starting Wed). I was pretty good cooking for the two of us. I got a little george forman grill for outside and it made it a easier than using the big grill. I am making a menu for next week and forcing myself to cook lol! I am happy that your six month visit went well at the oncologist too. Hugs! Good luck this last week of work before some well deserved time off!
@melaniedscott I was thinking the same thing with the radishes Lol! I wish I liked them too.
@hope002 Another amazing loss! Hope all is going well!
@1theresamcvean I agree with Casey, no need to apologize. You are right, what a time we are living in. Hugs!
@GingerPwr I saw a gif this week that made me think of you. I wish I knew how to repost. It was captioned an actual teacher at work this week and the video was of a person on the wipeout course. I thought of you immediately. You must be in good company. Hang in there. Sending hugs.
@goingape Awesome loss! What do you think is up with your hair? Are you stressed? Maybe something hormonal? Hugs!
@Zumba_Luvah Hello 150s! Congratulations on this big milestone for you! xo

Sorry to have gone AWOL for a couple of weeks. Both weigh in above I have not yet recorded with you guys. First week slight loss. Unfortunately towards the end of that week my phone died. Lived without phone for about a week - was very strange! But one of the downsides was that I was without things like this community (and my laptop version kept glitching), my garmin app, my withing scales app, libra and Les Mills workout app. Needless to say, looks as if I depend on technology to keep me going and motivated. Having fallen from the wagon, getting a new phone has yet to get me back on. I have gained a few more pounds since Wednesday (not helped by more salt that usual!).
But.....
As of today, I am back. Think I needed a couple of weeks off, but from today I am back tracking and exercising. Although I was off the wagon, I did not totally revert to old ways, so that is encouraging. Hoping by being back now, I may be able to have an OK weigh in on Wednesday, but we'll see!
