@AustinRuadhain Yay for throwing out something not worth the calories instead of just eating it because it was there!!! Yes, self-care went pretty well yesterday, thanks! The image you posted: sooooo good!

@TeresaW1020 It went pretty well: I DIDN'T glue my eyes to politics all day, instead I put on the 1st Wave station on SiriusXM radio. It is a sort of new wave/progressive 80s music station on satellite radio. It kept my mind off politics while I worked. I started drinking water early yesterday and drank a lot of water: over 75 oz! I also took a nice nap after I got off work and I texted with a couple of friends to check in with them. So, self-care was a hit yesterday! I'm sorry your back is acting up. It would be a good idea to break up your decorating, I hope that helps. Woo hoo for being down 2.5 lbs!!! What an excellent weigh-in. You are so inspiring!

@adhmrh Thank you! Yes, I did a lot of self-care (see above to @TeresaW1020 for details), it was very successful I'd say. I was practically swimming in water by the end of the day lol! And you had another great day, too! Wow, consistency is wonderful. Enjoy the Indian restaurant tonight. What do you like to get?

Hello all! I'm going to continue to strive for self-care today. I won't obsess about politics, I'll drink enough water, I may exercise and meditate BUT if I choose not to I won't beat myself up (that's part of self-care, too, I think). Have a great day, everyone!

@Cornanda – Poop Poop Poop. That dang TOM! I’m sorry. At least you know why, though. Hugs!

@davidji82 – Awesomesauce on the loss!

@davors19 – Hugs!

@trooworld – Nice job on the water

@TeresaW1020 – Woot Woot on the loss!

I have been doing great starting each morning with a hot grain cereal breakfast and making sure to get a walk in each day. Yesterday I had quite a few calories left over and was feeling hungry pretty late. I made a salad…lots of greens and veggies…and topped it with a vegan chik patty and home made tahini dressing. Before bed, I logged everything and was all like, “Dang, Jennifer! You’re doing great! Still have 60 calories left.” I went to bed and my eyes popped open 30 minutes later and I said, “Dang, Jennifer! You forgot to add the patty!” This morning, I added it and it put me over calories by 110. Still well within maintaining, so I’m not even going to fret Normally, I would’ve really beaten myself up over it. But not this time. I still went for my walk today and am still making good choices.

Thanks for being here, all you awesome losers!

@TeresaW1020 I noticed your avatar right away then scrolled down to respond and have to say I love your hair! That shirt looks great on you too! I hated it but I learned a lot when I was in Occupational Therapy like moving things with the weight at your core. I always have to remember to move with the vacuum cleaner like a dance and not just shove my arm around.

@trooworld Not beating yourself up is definitely part of self-care, I hope you did a good job of it today.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Don't you hate when that happens!? There's always something I forgot to log, I'll remember it in the middle of the night or the next day. It's usually just enough to go over too!

Check-in
Calories- under (I think that's 4 days now!)
Exercise- arm cardio (trying a little), core, stretching

LTD about 45.8lbs (20.8kg)

Gained - not eating properly and just eating chocolate instead of meals. Things happening meaning I don't have access to a kitchen or prepare my own meals.

It is lockdown this coming week so not sure if I'll be good and not eat chocolate but least buy a sandwich to eat instead.

I did go for a pub desk and maybe that's why I got on a bad train of eating bread and potatoes instead of more nutritious protein.

GOALS:
1. Eat a meal instead of chocolate
2. Drink less coffee and tea

Have a good week ahead🥰

Chocolates or any sweets are my weakness. I know how you feel. The lockdown doesn't help either, last lock down I was making different desserts everyday. Just for having weakness I have given up chocolates for a while and decided next dessert I will eat is around Thanksgiving. If I crave something I will have protein bar that actually helps with my sweet cravings. If you like you and I can do one on one challenge who makes the entire week without sweets! We can post it on the group chat on how we did?

@Cornanda I know, right? I could use one this week, too! Hugs to you.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! You are doing so well, WTG!

@TeresaW1020 I LOVE your new hair, it looks so good on you. That's cool that you like that music too! You look great in your new photo. The photo in the Quad Cities shirt, you look so sad and kind of frumpy, but in the other one you just beam! I love that you did that.

@Katmary71 Thanks, I did do self-care and I didn't beat myself up.

Hi all. I don't know why I feel the need for self-care, but I am feeling an extra need for self-care right now. I think the weight of the world and all the fighting and hatred is getting to me. Then, on top of that, I gained at the scale. That was just a kick in the pants. Yesterday, I didn't glue my eyes to politics like I did the first day of the election (and the 2nd). I listened to more 80s new wave/pop/progressive music while I worked. I didn't work too hard, as I finished a big project and celebrated by relaxing a bit. As usual, I didn't sleep well, so I took a nap after work (this isn't usual, the not sleeping well is usual). I'm making a hug in a bowl today: turkey chili in the slow cooker! And might take a nice relaxing bubble bath later. Take care, everyone.
