Weight No More - September 2020 Team Chat

Yesterday was treatment day #4 with keytruda. This drug makes me itch - I have hydroxyzine for that - it's a strong form of benadryl. The day started out well as my labs were done at 8:30 and I was out of the doctor's office by 9:35. Then came the 4 hour wait for the treatment to begin. CanNOT believe it took that long to get the drug from the pharmacy! Am waiting on a return call from Patient Relations to file a complaint. The nurses on the unit are wonderful and I know it's not their fault when things like that happen.7

Friday 10/2
Food: a little too much
Water: 96 oz
Exercise: none
My boss said there are "a couple of openings" on 1st shift. When he asked if anyone was interested in transferring only 2 of us raised our hands but sounds like several others talked to the boss later in the night to add their names to the list. It would be nice but I'm not going to be disappointed if I don't get to go.
My doctor's office called and said my bloodwork results were normal so now I'm just waiting for scheduling to call for the ABI appointment.
Since I was told not to workout right now and rest my leg, I need to find my upper body workout that I had from a couple of years ago. I did look up a few seated upper body exercises to do so I plan on doing some of them.
We have to work tonight. My boss said we would be working all night but there wasn't a lot of work when we left this morning but that could have changed since we went home.
Will have to catch up on posts later.3 -

Friday check in
Steps 8107
Water 48 oz
Walk nope raining here and never managed to get on treadmill
The cravings continue so I tried a new cake recipe, over 500 calories for one serving (real buttercream frosting 🧁!) So I had 1/2 a serving. Verdict: not sure if it was worth the calories....
Hopefully I’ll be able to check in tomorrow. We are headed to NH for our anniversary weekend, and it seems whenever we are in NH, we have poor cell service. We should have WiFi at the hotel though.

Quick check in, it's late Saturday night here and I'm exhausted. Went for an 8.5km walk today, along the coast again with cliffs and beach. Timed it for low tide so we could use the beach part of the way, but that meant we were walking this afternoon when it was quite sunny and hot. I've been thinking about bears ever since they were mentioned in here... even dreamed about them one night (!) but the most ferocious creatures we encountered were some ducklings and a couple of stranded starfish. Unless you count pigeons and gulls lol. Nothing here ever tries to kill you! 🙃
I was also out shopping this morning and saw an exercise singlet in a cool colour. I automatically grabbed an XL. Hubby was with me and after 20 years I know the looks he gives me. So I put the XL back, grabbed the L. Another look. "Maybe you should try it on" he says. I hate it when he's right, but I did walk out of there with a medium!
@lenka1 She is so adorable! My kids are so far past the baby stage now, but it also seems like just yesterday!
I love lifting. I've been lifting on and off since 2002, but seriously between 2013 - 2016. I only started back into a regular routine a few months ago, but I do break the routine if I have to because of migraine or too much pain from old injuries/nerve problems. In theory I do a 3 days on/1 day rest cycle with a focus on hypertrophy. All my sessions are 3 sets of 10 reps for each exercise, and sessions are Day 1) Legs & shoulders, Day 2) back & biceps, Day 3) chest & triceps.
@kiane50 We move the chat to the October group from Sunday, and your week one weigh in will be Thursday next week. The 8th I think.
@Melzz19 Nice loss! Hard work does pay off!
@mainebeachbum Cake is so horrifically calorific! I don't always find it worth it either. Enjoy your time away.
@mxlaw90 Welcome!3 -
Morning!
@1theresamcvean holy kitten that sounds like one big messed up situation! I hope you're able to get it resolved soon.
@tryingagain5 I'll be thinking about you on the 9th! Good luck!
@pacsnc6 I'm so sorry you had a stressful treatment. Hugs to you!
Okay, y'all. I'm back, finally. I'd also like to get back on the team for weekly weigh in. My day used to be Wednesday, but I can change that if we need to.
The story is the usual: too much sitting and too much unhealthy food. Gained 4lbs. Not terrible, not out of control, but the holidays are coming and I'd like to lose 8lbs to give myself a holiday buffer zone.
The plan is simple: more movement, more water, less snacking.4 -

Hello all;
Last week 159.4
Current weight 155.8
Loss of 3.6
Total loss 63.6
So I’m having the big tom drop in weight I had last month. I’m thinking there will be some bounce back over the next week. But I’m very happy to have some distance from the 158 - 161 range that I’ve been stuck in.
I’ve been reading everyone posts even if I’m not great at the commenting..
@Lenka. Love that sweet baby face. My kids are all big now so no more baby cuddles for me.
I’ve just purchased some new running shoes. Super excited. This is my first running pair. Tried them out last night with c25K week 5, day 1 and they felt good. I also got a Nike sports bra which is very form fitting but I wanted to keep my chest from bobbling around. Wrestling my way out of that thing after getting hot and sweaty is a treat.
I’ve researched some new exercise classes and hopefully will be able to get in the ones I want and have lower class numbers. My current yoga flow class is just me and the instructor which is nice.
I’ve also been talking with a dietitian about my calories intake - I’m needing to wrap my brain around the notion of eating more so I can make muscle but I want to still keep burning fat. I will up my protein as I do know I’m low in that area. Anyone in the anyone circumstances as me? My goal is 130 at least. Might go lower. I’m only 5’1. I’m in the beginner level of weights and I’m still getting comfortable there. My gym routine is a mix of weights, squats, lunges, crunches etc.
Welcome to the new members and take care everyone!!3 -

The Day Before We Move!Keys for tomorrow:- Declutter. Don't even pack the things (habits) that aren't serving you well.
- Moving day box. Make sure you have easy and immediate access to your water, work-out gear, and healthy, delicious food for the new month ahead. This isn't beer and pizza day.
- Move your hardest room first. In other words, organize and execute around your most important priorities, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you.

Saturday 10/3
Food: too much
Water: 48 oz
Exercise: 15 minutes upper body only
Since I worked last night I slept my morning away.😁
I didn't do much with day, just pretty much sat around. Doing laundry now and am going to bed as soon as that is done.
It sounds like I will be going to 1st shift. There were 5 of us that wanted to go but 3 of the others backed out because of family issues. My boss wasn't sure when. Probably a couple weeks yet. It will be different, lots more people and I won't be doing as much as I do on 3rd shift. For 3rd we move all around the floor. I'll be on a line that I haven't really done on 3rd. (I've worked on the testers on this line, just not end of line inspection. Most of my coworkers have, I'm just not very fast at it and it makes me a little stressed. They had me work on that line last night and I'll be working on it again tomorrow.
It will be nice to sleep at night again.

Sorry that I haven't been commenting this week. I had two days of long meetings then a lot of computer work to do after the meetings. I have been reading and have seen lots of progress. Well, I did it yesterday! I baked a chocolate pie from my mama's recipe book. Oh, it reminded me so much of my dear mama, I will always cherish those memories and I definitely inherited her love of baking. NOT cooking, but baking! I did manage to stop with one piece, yes it was a good size piece. I guess I should use my southern words and call it what it actually was, a SLAB of pie. Larry and I will probably finish it off today. We were just thinking of going out to dinner this weekend, until I saw the news that our president and many senators have Covid. They have the best security, medical care and testing every day. Our local elementary school also had to close because a kindergarten child tested positive. It doesn't seem like there is an end in sight. We will continue to cook and stay at home. He is not a cook but is very helpful with the grill and the clean up.
I did manage to do well with my walking this week and I think pretty good with my little bit of strength training. I only use 3 pound weights due to neck and back issues but maybe one day I will increase it.
Today is world communion day so if you take communion today, I am there with you. Y'all have a great day today, stay safe, pamper yourself, and KEEP ON KEEPING ON................4
