I am happy for a loss ... but the only reason I lost was because I barely ate 1200 calories yesterday ... I was definitely not hungry yesterday ... I had a salad for lunch and a bacon sandwich for dinner and my ice coffee after dinner ....

I let it get too late last night and didn't feel like working out at all. Good thing I've got this group and all these amazing people to report to! You guys got me off the couch haha. I did some jogging/walking intervals and got the rest of my steps in after 40 minutes.2 -

Wow I really didn't think I was going to get my steps in today! I was feeling so rough today- mix of emotionally and physically (after yesterday's poopy day I guess lol) So at 6 I decided to do some dancing. WELL. After that I found some energy! I showed my wife how to do some things on the wii fit (which I'm jealous she can do cus I still can't workout on it yet because of my weight) and we did a 10 minute free-step together, I put some dance music on and I stepped to the side of her. It was fun!
I did weigh myself on the wii fit today- and it works! But once I put on my workout clothes and have a glass of water, I am too heavy
So give it a few days I guess!
I am going to try and do some exercise in the morning again- even if it's just for half an hour- see if that's why I was feeling so bad, maybe I was just having an off day. We shall see.
Tomorrow I'll have to do some cleaning too, I didn't do much at all today. Even though I did get out of bed before 9am! I was even in bed by 11 last night, but I was tossing and turning til nearly 1am! Hopefully my sleep will improve.
Anyway so I am officially enrolled in school! Paid and signed up today. I only signed up for 1 course to see how I go. There's a compulsort Mathematics module- Introduction to Statistics. I signed up for that because I was actually going to do a BSc in Mathematical Sciences years ago but the foundation year threw me- I had to do a lot of engineering modules (most of the foundation year students were going into engineering so it was mostly catered to them) and because of those modules I failed. But the maths stuff I was great at- always enjoyed the subject. So once I finish that course, I will maybe go to another one or 2. Just need to get a routine going there. I'm scared AND excited!
Anyhoo, the wife and I are going to chill and watch some TV before bed.
Stay safe all

12/3 steps 11,8132 -
Logged food:
Over calories today(including exercise calories) by 170
Drank 120 oz water
Lifted weights for 30 minutes, walked on treadmill for 40 minutes at 3.3 mph pace
Put on Christmas music to listen to while exercising. Was still not feeling like exercise today. Just felt really heavy but know it is stress. Had an argument with a family member. Normallt, this would get me down but realized it was their issues and not mine. Ate way too much at dinner when dining with others. Need a strategy to prevent overeating when in social situations.
Wishing everyone a safe and happy weekend.4 -

Weigh in Day is Fridays
PW: 211.2 pounds
CW: 211.2 pounds
Loss: No difference
Weight when starting this journey was 260 pounds
Overall Loss: 49 pounds
I started MFP: December 20, 2019 weighing 228
Overall Loss since starting MFP: 17 pounds
I did test positive for covid. No wonder I haven't had the energy to do much of anything this past week. Mine seems to be mild compared to many... basically sinus issues, which I have every year anyway, but with that extra fatigued, mild headache, back and neck ache, not really pain just nagging ache. No fever though, at least not yet. Each day I feel more icky, so ready to start feeling better each day.
My son, has a good day then the next day feels like crap.
I also found out my uncle tested positive and he went to the hospital for issues with breathing, but is now home.
Thanks to those who sent well wishes and checked in with me. I don't expect to have hard issues with this, it definitely isn't going to help with my weightloss journey.5 -
oh and today's steps are awful only 896 steps. 3

So, I have to read through the posts and respond to some.
I got a book yesterday and I am just flying through it. It's called " The Love Mindset".
Wow! It's really good. I came upon some of her quotes and then I got the book from the library and it's excellent. Mainly about self-love and love in general.
I finally got an interview for a job coming up this coming Thursday. I have been getting more supply work, but it's just not enough.
I hope everyone is doing well and wish you a very happy Saturday and weekend.

Eating when with a group is tough. If at a restaurant ask for a takeout container and put 1/2 your meal in it before you start eating. How is your boyfriend?ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »Scorpiogirl70

Yesterday I did my Christmas shopping for my husband. He is the hardest person in the world to shop for. I was over 3 hours shopping online. I won’t get a walk in today as we grocery shop this morning and the pain gets to bad.
Have a great weekend!3 -
@ScorpioGirl70
I'm so sorry with your testing positive for Covid. I'm glad your symptoms aren't too bad, but probably a lot of rest and fluids are good right now I imagine. I hope you have a speedy recovery and that symptoms decrease quickly.
@Beautyofdreams
I think that's really amazing that you exercised though you didn't feel like it. I know when I feel badly that I want to eat. Not sure if you are the same? Anyway, glad you realized it was the other person's issue. It doesn't sound like you overate by very much going out. But maybe a good strategy is to get the menu online ahead of time and plan exactly what you will get.
@littleflutterby
Hell Tanya. That is wonderful that you worked out even though you weren't really feeling it. It sounds like it's becoming a real habit. Congrats starting your courses! Math is my least favorite subject! But I'm happy to hear you like it and I imagine very good at it as well. I should be a fun course for you.
@Tazaria87
WOW! That's three people in a row who didn't feel like exercising but did it anyway. I am seeing a pattern here! Wow! Firstly, I think it's great that you feel accountable and supported. I do as well! I imagine it is also becoming just a part of your daily lifestyle.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Amazing! Your walks are so astounding! It really is impressive. I think it's great you lost some weight and that amount does not come just from one low calorie day. I think it comes from all your hard work in terms of working out and eating well. So, congratulations and enjoy! Yay!
@scribb and @28Haveitall2020
Both of your are doing outstanding work in the area of your steps and fitness.
That is really inspirational. Great job!
