@lindamtuck2018, Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃 🦃

@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE & @azkunk,
Since a live alone & have no family to spend the holidays with I don't have to worry detoxing after the holidays. But then again, I might be tempted to get me some kind of treats over the holidays. Who knows!! Lol 😺

That would not stop me from eating pie and stuffing @Kitty2Katz I'm so glad you stayed with the group. I hope that all goes well and you find healing.

Celebrated my sister’s birthday today. Thankfully she had me make angel food cake with berries. Not a fabulous day, but it could have been so much worse. The small wins!

Logged everything (even the chips and salsa)
Water still not there yet
Ab challenge done

Yay! It’s the weekend. It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. (Am I the only Canadian in the group?) What do you have planned?

I was born in Canada (Alberta )

I’m Canadian! In Calgary, Alberta

@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE, Thank you! I hope I find healing too.

That's way I was joking about I might eat treats. It's kind of hard to stay away from some holiday foods, 🦃🥧🍰 with or without family. I especially love homemade stuffing. 😺

I am back!!!! I have had a lot going on the last couple of weeks and I thought I was getting past it but it has been one storm after another, unfortunately. However, I am not letting it hold me back anymore. I have spent the last couple of days getting back to running/working out and today I was officially back on track diet-wise. Luckily for me, with all the craziness I haven't had much of an appetite so even though I was eating like crap, I pretty much maintained my weight.

So steps for October:
1: 5,195
2: 7,404
3: 4,090
4: 7,709
5: 4,596
6: 7,998
7: 10,619
8: 10, 640
9: 10,024

Today I kicked major butt as I dropped my car off for an oil change and walked the 0.7-mile walk to work and then went to the gym for some more cardio and strength training after work. I also did a little bit more walking just to make sure I met my step goal! (Gotta say though, not very happy with my Fitbit! I hit 9,998 steps and literally walked about 150 more steps before it even said I hit 10,000 so it has me questioning the accuracy for sure but oh well!) Tomorrow is a hospital day for me so I am going to try to get as many steps in as possible AND get some of next week's assignments done for school! (I am thinking we have workstations that we roll around with us as we go from room to room so I think I will do my school work on there instead of sitting at the nursing station so I can keep moving, we will see!) So far I have a 100% in my class and definitely trying to keep it that way! I am actually kind of excited to weigh in tomorrow! Let's see how this goes!

Pw: 3 Oct 134,4 kg = 296,3 lbs
Cw: 10 Oct 133,1 kg = 293,4 lbs
Steps 9 Oct: 13.170 steps

really proud of myself today. 3 hrs drive to Scotland and still managed to get in 10579 steps and stay within my calories.

Lovely day at Falkirk Wheel.

Need to drink more water tomorrow as only got in 2225ml today.

That is great! It is hard to stay within calories when travelling. Awesome steps!

After talking with someone and giving it some more thought, I've decided to stay in the group challenge . I really need to stay as focused as I can, and. I just don't know for sure if I can be here every day, but I'll try. Don't want to let my health problems get in the way of me losing weight.

Yesterday, was a bad day and I over ate a lot so I think I'll gain and not lose weight, when I weigh in the morning.

I am so glad you decided to stay. Just do your best. We will be here whenever you need us.

Yesterday was a good day, kids were in school so I had the day to myself and was able to meet some of my coworkers for lunch. I miss them so much, hit six months of being furloughed this week. We had lunch out and was able to find entries in MFP but came home and verified nutritional info online. MFP entries I found were half right.

I think this is one of the worst things about Covid is missing friends. I haven’t been out with my friends since early March.

I think treats over the holidays are so tough to resist.

All in all, it was a pretty good week. Today, on the other hand, not so much. Did pretty okay, but this evening has been rough. I hurt my knee when I did W2D1 of C25K a couple days ago, same knee as always has issues, it's a consistent thing. I can hike 10+ miles with no issues, but running on pavement, not so much. Guess I need to schedule another doctor's appointment about it and see what I can do to try and help. I even started stretching this time around to see if that would help. We are also now dog sitting one of my sister's dogs. I didn't get much sleep the past couple nights, and then her dog whined all night long. She's a sweetheart, and I get it, it's a new place. But between feeling down about my knee, as I was shooting for a new high in miles for hiking tomorrow, and the lack of sleep over the past few days, I definitely let myself eat my feelings. Ah well, it's been a while since I ate my feelings, and tomorrow is a new day. I'm determined to get below (and stay below) 200 lbs. I've flirted with the line for too long lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. I guess a bum knee means I just get to work more on my upper body strength. There's always a bright side to everything.

Congrats on the loss! Onderland is so close. Sometimes it is so hard not to eat our feelings. I know I did it all week. I think it is a matter of finding another outlet beside food. Please take care of your knee. I had a knee replacement at 52 so I sympathize with you.

Angel food cake is such a good option when having cake.

Good for you logging everything. Keep trying on the water. I count my tea and coffee in my water intake. My dietitian said to count all liquids beside sugary drinks.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to you. It is harder to stay on track when celebrating holidays. We are having pumpkin cheesecake on Monday. I will eat it and track.

I am so glad you are back. I love your updates! It is amazing how you juggle everything and still find time to exercise. Inspiring! Sometimes I think my Fitbit doesn’t count steps as well. It will buzz saying I need 20 steps to get my 250 and I will walk from one end of the apartment and back. It still indicates i need 20 steps.
