I just found myself drooling over your brioche French Toast. I haven't had decent brioche since I as in Northern France, years ago... Anyway, it is helping that I've started focusing on getting movement in earlier and earlier. Glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day!!1 -
@rlaskey2 i don't know what has caused my numbness, unfortunately. i have had it for several years. when it started i just thought it was due to getting fatter and fatter. i wasn't diabetic or pre-diabetic. i hoped the feeling would come back as i lost the weight but no dice.
grats to everyone on coming in 2nd on the green team.
check-in for 5/9:
steps - 9821. i'll get more when i pick up the kid from work later but this is close enough.
calories - 1614. i may have a small slice of angel food cake with frosting as a mother's day dessert. i had a small piece this morning when i sliced off the bottom to make it flat for icing.
exercise - 4 mile walk right after dinner. 1 hr 17 min. arm exercises this afternoon with 15 lb dumbbell.
i wound up staying home today. i texted my friend and told him i couldn't make it today because i hurt my back. unfortunately it was a lie. i've never been comfortable having get togethers at people's houses and not being in anyone's house in over 5 years didn't help. i got all queezy planning my trip today. i guess it's something for my behavior therapist in a couple months. hopefully i'll be able to meet him someplace public before he leaves. i've hated myself for doing that all day.
on a more somber note, i attended a memorial this afternoon. today was "national lost sock memorial day". it was very moving, mainly in a circular motion, but some of the attendees were missing. guess we'll be having another one next year.5 -

Look at all of those high step counts! When I saw your post, I immediately thought of Rocky Balboa running up the Museum of Art steps in Philadelphia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@rwood566
Cheers to the movement today! The 4-mile walk and the arm exercises with a 15-pound dumbbell 🎉🎉🎉 Plus a low calorie day. You were on a roll.
Please don't be so hard on yourself. If you heard someone here had a similar experience, you would be one of the first people to support her/him. Those are great suggestions that you had, talking it through with your BT and phoning your friend, to possibly meet him before he leaves.
That holiday a day calendar sounds like a hilarious way to make lasting memories. It's too bad that it wasn't a sock donation, it could have freed some house elves.2 -

I actually expected worse results after taking our youngest son to a soccer tournament in Kansas City, KS. The team's choice of restaurants were pretty disastrous with the healthiest vegetable options were the choice of potato salad or coleslaw sides but I didn't want to be anti-social and at least the BBQ was really enjoyable. At the end of the weekend, our team came in second in the championship game (we lost to a team that's ranked 187 in the nation for this age group) and I got a few more steps in than I might otherwise so all in all still fun. Anyway, I'm glad to be back home so I can get back to some sense of normalcy. I rowed for 10 minutes to get back in the swing of things - I need to work on extending that to 15 min but I tired quickly this morning so something to work on.4 -

Hi all, here for Monday check in.
Now hit 30.2 pounds gone so far!!
I'm starting to move closer into the amount I lost first time round, I vaguely remember it being in the 35 pound+ amount. I'm finally making progress into the amounts that seemed so out of reach to me last year. Granted, I still fluctuate like everyone else.
Thinking about it, the sense of reward I'll feel when closer to goal weight, knowing I started from a place that was harder by 42.4 pounds (3 stone) at 259.4 in comparison to my previous highest weight (217 pounds) is rewarding prospect to look forward to rather than feeling so bad about where I could be now instead if I didn't gain so much. I wish I could find photo evidence of my highest weight now and then, but no luck so far.
Still got some of the bakery items left, but my plan is to still have small chunks through the week if I fancy it. I have no idea on calories, but in the grand scheme of things it isn't something that will derail me long term, so need to remember to be gentle to myself with such food.
I did just over 20 minutes of weights at home this morning. It's hard to know if it makes any difference and whether I'm doing it right, but will keep at it.
It's one of my friend's birthday and regular virtual pub quiz on Thursday so may end up having some homemade alcoholic mojitos on a virtual meet. I very rarely drink, I don't think I've had alcohol this year so far, if I have I can't remember.. I can take or leave alcohol to be honest.
If the weather improves I may be able to get out on my MTB this week, but it's rained a lot recently.
Have a great week everyone, loving how active and supportive we all are!4 -
Can someone tell me what happened this night?
I think someone opened my belly and put rocks inside 🪨

@lindamtuck2018 I don't know how, but today's weight 132,7 kg = 292,5 lbs1

@TheresaM787
I am impressed you still biked. It would be so easy to brush it off when you got little sleep. What a wonderful Mother’s Day you had!
@rlaskey2
Jiggs dinner is salt meat or riblets boiled with cabbage, potatoes, carrots, turnip, potatoes and parsnip. I prefer riblets but we can only get the meat in London. I soak the salt meat and change the water twice but it still causes me to retain lots of water. Another thing I would add to the pot if it was available would be turnip greens.

Hi all! I hope everyone had a nice weekend! Mine was busy and fantastic! The kids and hubby sent me on a scavenger hunt for some gifts spread out around the house, it was fun. They gave me new workout clothes I desperately needed. Today my nieces are here so it should be a fun filled busy day. This is also my son's last week of preschool, graduation is on Wednesday.

@rwood566
Awesome steps and exercise. Don’t be hard on yourself about meeting your friend. You are working on that area with your therapist so that’s a good thing.
@TheresaM787
Great plan for the day!
@Z10Rtza
I am with you as I am up almost 5 pounds this morning. For me it is related to the sodium in last nights supper. I was slightly over for the day but I don’t think that was a factor. The scale can fluctuate 5 to 6 pounds a day. It can come down to what and when you eat, drink, exercise and sleep.
Congrats to @roz0810, @missysave0612 and @rwood566
