Yesterday was a beautiful day 🌞 a little chilly but, very nice. Enjoyed some time outside by myself. My right kidney was hurting more yesterday than it does this morning, so I only got around 2,000 steps in. Was told to drink more water, was drinking around 67 fl oz already, but increased to 144.9 fl oz,. I'm going to try to drink one gallon of water daily, (128 fl oz) starting yesterday. Hopefully, this will help flush out my kidneys and they will feel better. 😊
Hope everyone has a good day/night. 🏵️5 -

Friday Weigh-in

Well that's the wrong direction. Not surprised though because Wednesday became a total boredom/frustration/napping-prompted binge fest. I ate pretty much everything in my cabinet and fridge. Alas. Must be better next week.6 -
@jugar,
Letting you know that I won't be logging into mfp again until after the holidays.
I'll still be trying to lose weight and walk as much as I can, but my main go will be to enjoy the season of celebrations that's coming up over the next few weeks.
Relaxation and peace will be what I'm going to be concentrating on over the holidays with less stress and more fun.
Wish everyone much success on your journey and that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃 🥧 and a very Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🤶🎁 and a Happy New year! 🎉🎊7 -

This was actually yesterday’s weight. I won’t have access to a scale today.
We moved into Edmonton yesterday to be closer to our son’s hospital. At first we were driving back and forth but we had two really bad winter weather trips so we will be staying at his condo for now.
His condition has improved a little but they still can’t locate the source of the infection and until they do he can’t be discharged because it is continuing to spill bacteria into his blood stream.
Next time I’m home I’ll try to remember my scale.7 -

We'll miss you! I will put you on the "support team" so that you can still drop in to read messages and post if you feel like it, and then when you are ready to start up again, if you'd still like to hang with us, all you need to do is post an "I'm back!" message and you'll be ready to go. Any time. Have a lovely season of celebrations, and enjoy everything that comes your way.
I'm so relieved you won't be doing so much driving in the bad weather - and thank you for letting us know how your son is doing. A little improvement is good news, but I sure hope they figure it out and find a way to help him get well soon. Many hugs to you - and don't worry about the scale. If you need an "excused" any week, just let me know.CanadianGiraffe wrote: »We moved into Edmonton yesterday to be closer to our son’s hospital.

I'm having "meh" day - for the first time in ages, I started a workout and actually packed it in after a few minutes. Just did NOT want to do it. I did some Pilates and stretches, but there was no strength or anything happening today. At least I started! That is usually the hard part, so I am happy to just let go of it for today. It's Friday the 13th after all...
Wishing you all a lovely day anyhow

@Terytha it can get really old always focusing on weight loss. You are getting so close to your goal weight. What a great time to practice maintaining over the holidays. You can get back to it when the mood strikes you. I think the season changes and the shorter days can really impact the mood 😌 Hang in there and snuggle that kitty 😺
@canafiangiraffe Sounds like a few improvements for you guys even if small. Hugs to you
@jugar I have days like that too. I do think starting is the hardest. If you aren't feeling it, take a break. You will be at it again soon.
We have gotten a decent amount of snow and we're out of power. We have our generator going and the wood stove is doing it's thing. Helped my husband clear snow this morning. Lifted weights this afternoon. I'm lifting on a 5 day schedule. I lift tomorrow and then have Sunday off. Hopefully everyone is having a good day!6 -

@travelingalone1 Wishing you a wonderful stress free holiday season. Remember all you have learned. Do the best you can each day and enjoy your celebrations. See you after the holidays.
@CanadianGiraffe So glad you are not commuting back and forth. You have enough stress to deal with and you need to rest and take care of yourself too. Glad to hear your son is doing somewhat better. Praying they soon find the source of the infection.
@jugar Even the best of us can have a “meh” day. You are a mighty woman and certainly entitled to a day like today. I have absolute faith in you that tomorrow will be a better day.
@conleywoods You always amaze me with how well you roll with whatever comes your way. No power...again? But look at you all self sufficient and stuff. 😘😉 Just the same, I Hope you have power back soon.
Didn’t log throughout the day but filled in my log at the end of the day. I reached my 9k step goal and took a 34 Minute walk. Overall, I think the week went pretty well. I haven’t been near the scale so we’ll see where we are tomorrow at weigh in. I did give myself a little self care under eye bags treatment tonight. I have no idea if it helped. 😂 But they were pretty gold colored eye masks. Planning a morning walk with my former teaching partner in the am.
Have a good night all!5 -
@travelingalone1 enjoy your holiday season!!
@CanadianGiraffe glad you are able to be closer to your son!0 -
Steps today 10,724
We ordered stuffed deep dish pizza for dinner and I ate lunch from the work cafeteria instead of bringing from home. So, I had a very unhealthy and super sodium packed kinda day. But, if I factor in my exercise adjustment I should still be within my calorie goal today. Drinking lots of water, and I do have leftover pizza for tomorrow but I'll make sure all my other choices are healthier.4 -

I am happy with that, last week was a big loss for me (2.6lbs) so staying the same is fabulous... In past experiences, normally I would have went up a bit, so in my eyes this is just as good as a loss...lol...
Today we are going for our blood tests, then a random road trip/adventure... but somewhere in there I have to do strength training and get 10k steps... I've earned my sticker every day this week, cant stop now...
Have a great day !!!7 -

I never saw your post from last week, but good news! You have lost 3 pounds since 2 weeks ago!0 -
Greetings team!
Things are looking good this week - if the last few weigh-ins are OK, then we have improved some from last week. If not? We learned stuff!
@Gidgitgoescrazy
Where do your stickers come from? I might need some!!3 -

Still not back where I was before my big gain week, but heading in the right direction. Went on an hour walk this morning with my friend. I still feel my metabolism up. It’s a cleaning/tidying kind of day.
Hope everyone makes it a good day.8 -
@jugar, I'm back!
It appears the holiday celebration I was going to have has been cancelled long before it even started. Looks like I'll be spending the holidays at home alone instead of with others. Bummer! 😟. I wish I'd found out before I mention anything on here. Oh well! Life goes on. 😊6 -

@micki48 and @MandiSaysHey Thanks for wishing me a nice holiday season, but plans got cancelled. Disappointed, but there's nothing I can do about it, just continue on here with my weight loss. 😊6

@travelingalone1
You know you are welcome and I'm glad you are sticking with it, and us. It is so hard to have the holiday plans go out the window, and many of us here will be missing family something terrible during the next couple of months. We'll help each other out, and keep on more than just our weight loss paths. 6 -
Well that was quite a Saturday so far! Our colourful bird visitors are still with us (unusually we have a red-bellied woodpecker here for the past week) and energies are kind of all over the place chez nous.
I went on a rant walk - as fast as I could for 5.5 miles - started off into the wind with light snow, but I was sure nice and warm by the time I turned around and the snow had stopped! Sometimes it just feels great to stomp along in the wind. I was happy to be greeted by one of my fave dogs on the way home. He is a gorgeous big kind of scary looking guy who is on guard but super friendly once he knows you're just passing by. I always like bumping into him for a quick moment.
Last 3 weigh-ins due for this week:
@krcapone78
@SMcFall0215
@spyro88
I forgot to mention it, but it's a good thing @travelingalone1 did not leave us after all - a 5 pound loss!!! We have a shot at the big time this week... Well done!6 -

Happy Saturday 😊
Today I participated in a calorie burn challenge for the weekend. I almost didn't do it because some people pledged like 3,000 calories 😳. But, I got over myself and pledged 600. I burned 540 today and tomorrow is my rest day. I will either take the dog for a short walk or play with the kids outside tomorrow. Maybe some people count the calories you burn just breathing and stuff. IDK🤔
Stayed in my calories and I am getting more protein in too. Went sledding with the kids and did a weight training session. Took my doggie for a walk on the logging roads on our place. At the bottom of the long hill, he saw deer at the top. So...I got a free tow to the top🙂 We have about 8 inches but it's melting. Made sugar cookies and decorated them with the kids! What a messy fun activity. Even doggie stole a cookie.
