    @lindamtuck2018, you are correct about my previous and current weight loss. I copied the wrong number from my notebook.

    With the meals, at least if you decide to stop the service, you'll have ideas for how much to eat and different meals to eat that you can make. I can see why you feel that with the money you pay for it that you don't want to have to buy more foods. I hope you'll give the company feedback on that. Any exercise is worth doing. It doesn't always have to be intense:) Nice loss this week.

    Thank you, yes I've provided various feedback to them on their posts.. it does seem they do take them on board to create meals from my and others suggestions but, yet to see an improvement on vegetables portion increase etc.

    Yesterday after some discussion with a family member I decided to go down to 5 days a week for next month starting next week. I can always go back up to 7, stay on 5 or do own thing after next month. Within the conversation it contained some valid points about cost, giving a break from the meals so not having a repeat of the some of the meals previously had two days prior to the weekend. Also, gives chance to start to bring back homemade meals in a healthy way in small steps.

    Whilst I was fine with going for another 7 days a week for a month for the set structure and whatnot, I am also conscious of not becoming long term dependent on a service in way for example how you have to look at food as syns on SW or points on WW and leaving that system. Of course the meal prep service is more my way of thinking with being calorie focused but I hope that sentence point made sense..I will need to still be mindful and measure for calorie counting so I don't overeat the work done before the weekend.

    I think it's just a case of seeing how I feel towards the end of each month on what I go for and work from it. It's great that I still have focus and determination above all else, weight loss journey is going good so far this year.

    I am having real trouble sleeping with the APAP. Usually I can manage 5 hours, but last night after 2.5 hours I was up and couldn't sleep. I cleaned. I cooked. Then I went back to sleep in the morning for a few hours. I hope this improves.

    Made more of my lentil soup/stew which I find really good so that's a bonus.

    Awesome loss! Have you tried calling the place you bought your APAP from? Maybe they can make an adjustment. I hope it gets better for you. You have been making lots of different soups. I really got to start making soup and freezing some of it for lunches. Do you make extra to freeze?

    Exercise Rest Day

    We spent the day at my parents house. My mom just bought herself an instant pot so I've been making dinner with it on Sundays to help show her how to make stuff. Last night I made roast with potatoes and carrots and then you use the liquid after it cooks to make a gravy. It turned out soooo yummy.

    Today I have my nieces again so my workout will have to wait until late, but I'm sure the kids will keep me active haha. It's gonna snow all day today so my son's preschool even got cancelled.

    You just gave me my next meal to make in my instant pot. I think taking care of 4 small children will burn a ton of calories.

    This step challenge is really motivating. I was close to my 10,000 steps last night, but I was not going to make it. So, while my husband, my daughter and I were watching a TV show, I walked around the perimeter of the living room and kitchen until I hit 10,000. They think I'm crazy. Ha!

    @jimboden3
    LOL, please Jim, let's not repeat 2020. Glad you saw the scale go down this week to reflect all of the work you've put in! I love the graphic. So very true:)

    @shortyjmorgan1
    Sorry to hear that. Take care. We'll be here when you come back:)

    Keep that motivation going. It is great you are finding inventive ways to get those steps done.

    I didn’t get my workout in, my day got away from me. A lot of items on my meal plan this week have been hard to find so that has been annoying. Had to shuffle things around but made it work. Dinner was chicken enchilada skillet which I have made before. My daughter is getting pickier lately which is also annoying. She threw a fit at dinner later night.

    Again having all the kids got my steps up, just hopped on the treadmill at night to finish them out. It's still snowing here so my son's preschool got cancelled again today. Gonna try and have a fun day indoors with the kids.

    I have been sick for a week, now, and my steps consist of letting the dogs out and just the necessities. I can't wait to feel better and exercise more. I wish being sick took away my appetite, but that never seems to happen to me! I'm reading about a lot of people with sniffles - tis the season.

    Food logged.
    Under calories.
    Drank 96 oz. water.
    Exercise: Shoveled snow for 30 minutes.

    It snowed from 5pm last night to 11:15 am today. Depending on where the drifts were, the snow started at 6" and went up to 18". My brother-in-law came with his skid loader and cleared the driveway. We cleared the sidewalks, stairs and shoveled a path to the bird feeder. We get 6 to 8 pairs of cardinals at the feeder.
    Had a late lunch with Kevin's oldest daughter. We talked about what she was doing with the estate, her hopes to buy his house, her children, her siblings and job as a correctional officer. It was a pleasant visit and didn't end until after 3pm when the schools get out here.

    @lelbarou, my cousin just got a bpap and she is not getting much sleep either. Think it is because you had hours of poor sleep before the apap and your body got used to minimal sleep. The sleep you get with your apap is deeper so your body thinks it needs less. It should resolve with time if you are properly fitted with your device.

    @363days On scales-I have a Renpho. It was around $30 on Amazon. Weight shows on the scale itself, but it also pairs with an app on the phone that tracks all kinds of other stuff too--weight, BMI, body fat, visceral fat, muscle mass, bone mass, water, protein. I know I have seen it mentioned here before.

    Wow, I checked it out and for the price, this seems like a good place to start. I think I'll get one soon. These scales seem like they would be extra motivating.

    Happy Hump Day!!

    Great news! Mike and I spent our evening researching, measuring, etc and we decided to go for it! Our home gym has been ordered! As delivery is so pricy, we decided to do one time delivery day so all will be delivered at once mid-May. It’s ok. Gives us time to prepare the room 💪🏻❤️👍🏻. I never thought I would be so excited about a home gym ❤️ We were able to order everything on out wish list. Once it’s all here and set up I can end my gym membership. I’m ending mikes already as he hasn’t gone in months and still can’t without a prescription. So the money we save from his membership between now and May will pay for the shipping. Win win

    Also, I’m excited this morning because my weight is finally moving down! With muscle pain I had gone up to 199 last week and weighing in on Saturday at 198.2. Today I’m at 195. Slowly but surely getting there. I sure hope I can keep this down until next Saturday.

    This morning I will be cleaning house and laundry, afternoon appointment and then hoping to have Luka baby sit Sam while I go to the gym for my session. I hope it works out as I missed Monday and will also need to miss Friday. Making up for those 2 days today and Saturday if I can.
