Well...things didn't go as planned but still not a bad day...until the evening. Jim ended up coming down the shore a day early so we went to dinner. I did GREAT at dinner! I followed the plan and watched my hunger. I followed my drinking plan, one before, during and after. Then I blew it when I got home. Not too bad but I had some candy because I wanted something sweet. I do have a 100 cal protein bar that is sweet that I will have next time if I really can't say no to myself. Live and learn... Note to self-throw candy away...

I am moving slow this today, that is why I am on here so late. I really don't have anything planned. Hope everyone has some fun plans this weekend.

@Cafelelia I am a day behind but your post about things not always going as planned hit home for me today. Good idea to prep for the upcoming week, especially since things are picking up there! Nice loss for the week too!
@jedaschultz Yes-new month! Let's make September our month!
@1theresamcvean I had to look up what shawarma was. Sounds yummy! It sounds like things are starting to get back to normal for you too. Even if it is busy. I love the pic of the town of your ancestors, how beautiful!
@goingape Nice job getting the first week of C25K under your belt. Hopefully your husband is able to catch up at some point. Maybe if he goes at his own pace at first? Or maybe its just not for him. Seems like you hit your groove with everything this week. Great job!
@tryingagain5 I can't speak for your state of course but my daughter has been going to the gym and said people are respectful of social distancing and with cleaning their machines after. She said although she would rather not wear the mask, it isn't too bad. I hope you have the same experience. Will you be starting up with your trainer again?
@Melzz19 I have a problem with that too. Though all of this I notice I eat AND drink fast. Maybe that will be the next thing I work on after the hunger. I love hearing about your job, it sounds so interesting. Hope you have the weekend off and you can make the trip to the badlands.
@mainebeachbum Those are the real lobster rolls up there by you! Sounds like you have been hitting your stride lately. Keep up the good work!
@KristieJC Omg! It has been a hectic few weeks for you! Sending prayers and hugs! I hope that you are able to get the hotel you want, a kitchen will make it easier to eat healthy.
@kandi3570 I wish there was something low cal that can hit that chocolate craving. I have yet to find it...I was lol ing with the fitbit and bra story Lol! Have a great weekend
@GingerPwr It is such a challenging time for teachers. Sending hugs!
@lenka1 Nice loss! You are doing awesome!
@debbiewsharpe Congrats on getting back under that magic number! You have been working hard! I am glad that you found that fruit hits your sweet tooth for the weekdays. Then having a baked treat will be so much more enjoyable on the weekend. Please don't feel that you have to comment everyday unless you want to. I don't want you to become overwhelmed. It is so nice having you here.
@pacsnc6 Sounds like it was still a lovely day even though the flea market was closed. I did cross stitching when my two oldest were little but once the third child came, that was the end of that. I found it relaxing. I also think because I have the worst handwriting when everything came out so neat and perfect, I found it satisfying.
@podperson1 I am still a work in progress with sweets myself but I am seeing a big difference. Well...not including last night Lol!
@lennoncpa I love the pink house! I liked it in blue too but wow! Looks great! What a beautiful house you have!
@annliz23 I love that post!

Week 1
Pw: 154.5
Cw: 152.4

Ltd: 19.6lbs (since May)

Lenka, Here I sit in a haze. Stunned by just 8 hours with my 3-year and 15-month-old grandchildren. My normally easy grandson is getting molars and was not himself at all today. This is a big reminder of just how much you do each day (and night). The willpower it takes to put your goals anywhere near the front of the line is Herculean. Well done on your loss this week and on almost 20 lbs this summer. My hat is off to you!

@annliz23 thanks😀

Yay! I get a 3 day weekend! Seems kind of silly to get excited about that but since I've only had 1 day off for the last few weeks having 3 days off is great!

It was a really nice day. I went for a long walk with one of my neighbors so that was my exercise for the day. Too much on the food and not enough on the water.

Work is having an "attendance incentive bonus" for the next 5 weeks. According to my boss 29% of the employees at the company overall don't show up to work.😯 That's something I don't understand, I can't imagine not going to work. You have a job, you go to work. I guess my work ethic is different than the folks not showing up to work. For the incentive you can't take any time off, paid or unpaid to get the maximum bonus. It's kind of a tiered thing. Week 1 you get "X" amount, week 2 a little more than week 1 and so on. The max amount you can get (before taxes come out) is $750. If you are off for any reason you don't get that week's incentive and the next week you start at week 1 again. I could really use some time off but will wait until the incentive is over. The extra money will be helpful.

@lennoncpa Your house looks beautiful both ways but, boy, do I love the pink! It brightens up the front porch so much and I love the shade variation on the top two floors. That must be one big attic/third floor.

Weigh Day

Username: 1theresamcvean
Weigh-in week: Week 1
Weigh-in day: Thursday
Previous weight: 147.5
Today's weight: 147.2
Loss to date: 30.2

I am hovering on this weight. You'll see me lose weight a number of times each week. I'm weighing every day looking for the weekly average and to learn about the day-to-day gains and losses.

I am smaller than when I first landed on this weight. As I've said, I'm in a body composition-change situation right now. I'm happy with the way my clothes fit...or don't fit because my measurements are going down (or up if it's a musculature thing).

I still think I should break through this plateau. Any advice is welcome.


Thanks,
Theresa

@debbiewsharpe thank you!!

@lennoncpa love your house!

@1theresamcvean Aww thank you so much for your sweet words. It’s hard but I do have to say I’d never be able to do it if my husband wasn’t such an amazing guy.

He’s been mostly working from home and he loves cooking lol Plus he was cutting for summer too so we both We’re cooking healthy meals mostly.
He did tell me though he can’t believe I am working out as much and as hard with so little and bad quality sleep. I guess women are powerful creatures after all

My 5y started kindergarten this week and I already feel how much it will help me to keep going more Reaching my goals and Be better organized. She’s goes in person 830-230 5x a week and she loves it and I do too lol we all needed this. Her to be around other kids Her age and us to catch a break lol

John (my husband) has started his winter bulking Though lol I will be more tempted around here - but I know I can resist. Fingers crossed lol
