I did my supply teaching yesterday morning and evening and took a walk in the afternoon. I felt very anxious and the walk was almost necessary not so much for exercise, but in order to calm me down. It helped me.

I just had a walk with a friend now and had a great NSV. I was able to walk 90 minutes without stopping once because I was out of breath. This is a big improvement for me.

Anyway, I'm hoping everyone is well and having a good day.

Walking is so calming. I used to put my headphones on and go. I don’t know if it was walking or just being outside but it felt good. I am glad it helped your anxiety. That is an awesome NSV.

@lindamtuck2018 I'm sorry I didn't weigh in this morning. I slept in and then had to hurry and workout right away. I will weigh tomorrow morning (and it's going to be ugly 😖).


Thanks to @littleflutterby for supporting us!

A few of us are having ugly weigh ins this week. There must be something in the water. 🤷‍♀️ Next week we will crush it!

Somehow I actually lost .2
Last weigh in 211.4
current weight 211.2
Loss of 0.2 -- after yesterday's pigfest? I'm sure I will see this tomorrow.
I didn't even record my food yesterday, just registered it as a cheat day.
Today's consumption was probably worse then yesterday's, I should have recorded yesterdays and did my cheat day for today. OH Well.

I love the weekend challenges ! They are really close to my current daily goals but with a little twist!

So anyway today was ok- except the fact I left my phone at work! And I don't have a store key!! So my wife will have to go pick it up tomorrow after she meets up with a friend. I'll be totally without my left hand, it feels like (and i'm left handed so it's kinda a big deal!)

But, it will give me time to disconnect from the phone, and maybe actually get some housework done tomorrow! There's a football (soccer) game on tomorrow that I'm going to watch, at 7.30 in the morning -_-. I will have breakfast around that time and then do some exercises before Gael get's up. I love getting up earlier- I feel i can get so much more accomplished!

Anyway it is already 11.45 and after every close, I am wound up tighter than a drum. So I am going to get some "fresh air" sign outta here and get ready for bed!

Hugs all round to everyone that needs them!

Walk: 10 minutes

I didn’t binge last night! It was so hard but I managed not to. My sleep was messed up as I didn’t take the medication that helps me sleep and I was genuinely hungry. I woke up at 2:30 am with pain and I was up for an hour. I really wanted to binge at that point as I was feeling sorry for myself. I have binged so many nights in a row that one night without a binge might not seem significant but it is huge. I will beat this and being in this group is my big weapon.

I am going to finish up here and then I am going to attempt a walk. I did 10 minutes yesterday so my goal is to get more than that. It is just under 5 weeks to our move. I am so excited! I am doing a little each day so I am not scrambling just before the move.

Almost forgot, my food scale died last night. I ordered a new one but I am going to be lost until it comes in.

Happy Hump Day!

Weekly goals
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Drink 80 ounces of water
3. Sleep 7.5 hours daily
4. No binge eating/late night snacking
5. Walk 15 minutes every day

Well done hun really.I know how hard it is to defeat those urges that seem uncontrollable but hey every day without a binge is a win.All the best.xx

Happy Saturday team.

Just checking in with my weigh in. I’m up again. 6 Lbs gain in the past 2 weeks. Sigh. This has got to change!

Well, I WAS excited for weigh in tomorrow but mother nature had other plans I guess. I have been so fatigued and just lazy today lol. Oh and SUPER bloated! But oh well, it is only temporary. I still believe that I will be lower than last week.

My favorite childhood holiday memory was baking cookies with my mom so we did that today. My mom is not in the best of health and it was actually kinda sad seeing her so weak. However, that made it easier for me to say no to all the bites that she kept trying to give me. She has a LOT of complications from her diabetes so it really puts things into perspective for me.

I took a short walk after I got home and ate dinner because I return to work tomorrow and 4am comes early! I also have 2 assignments due tomorrow that I need to get done so off to go work on that. I have a few things in the works...can't wait to share with you guys!

Maybe your bloat won’t be so bad today. 🤞 Complications from diabetes can be bad. I have neuropathy from poor blood sugar control. It is nice you got to make cookies with her. I am excited to hear you news!

Today was OK. I was up 0.6 from yesterday which was expected with the holiday meal. Today, I had breakfast, skipped lunch and ate leftovers for an early dinner. I ate less than yesterday and then tossed everything but the turkey. So, no more temptation. I ended up being just a few calories over but I won’t be surprised if I’m up a little more tomorrow too. I need to drink lots of water to flush out all of the recent sodium. Tomorrow, I will be totally back on track and hope to get a hike in if my husband’s back can take it. He’s been putting off back surgery for years and it’s getting to a point where he needs to get it done.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - my steps are

That is pretty decent after a Thanksgiving dinner. I hope you get your hike.

So... I have not been able to sleep much. I have a sleep clinic tomorrow night which I am nervous about. Something about being hooked up to wires and being monitored is not my thing, but it's good to make sure I don't have sleep apnea. My birthday is tomorrow, Nov. 29th. I will just be doing a zoom dinner with a close friend. No going out cause of covid.

I hope everyone is doing well! Have a happy Saturday!

I remember the first time I went I was so nervous. I thought I wouldn’t sleep at all. It wasn’t too bad. The gel they use to stick the wires on your head is hard to get out of your hair. I hope everything goes well with your test. Enjoy your Birthday dinner tomorrow!

Cooked 25 donation meals (lots of mini tastings) as well as our own fancy dinner. Guess I should feel lucky the gain was small. OK .... sigh .... back to absolute basics this next week; and have great leftovers to use.

Have a great week Y'all.

The main thing is that you enjoyed Thanksgiving. That is very nice of you to donate meals.

Hey Megan, that's pretty cool that our birthdays are exactly a month apart! In numerology the number 2 signifies sensitivity and 9 signifies intellect, so with the birthday 29th we are smart and sensitive! Ha ha! Kudos to us! We ROCK it!
