Hi Guys...getting ready to read for a bit tonight, so just sending out my reminder email...there are two people for the week who need to report in their weigh ins. Please do so before stats start tomorrow.
As always, it's been an easy, productive week for some and a busy, stressful week for others...some are struggling...so regardless of where you are, let's all be kind to one another. Some on the team share openly, others we don't hear much from at all and we have no idea how to be supportive. I've said it before...the more you use this team for support, the more you give...the more you'll get out of it. Take advantage of this wonderful team of caring people...open up...talk about your struggles...share a thought or two...trade ideas...share your wisdom...talk about what you've learned...talk about those cravings...share a favorite recipe...send in a picture of your walk...you never know how the one or two sentences/paragraphs you share might touch others who don't speak up...
This week was a tough one for me for cravings...gave in once and was disappointed, not just in the personal failure of the "giving in" but also in the lack of satisfaction it gave me. I am hoping I will remember that next time. Today, I wanted to go and eat out...I knew what would happen. I stayed home and although my calories were a little higher than I would have liked, I was still under for the day, so I'm viewing it as a win. I DID NOT LOSE CONTROL!
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Take care all and stay safe!
Jessica

A little disappointed with myself. I have a busy week with work & received unexpected news about my former HoD & Mentor who's been a friend for 25 years was seriously ill.(Friends with his family too esp wife & daughter). Then Fri, found youngest struggling with something and yesterday my friend died.
I've basically done the worst thing & eaten my feelings for 2 days!! Something I vowed to stop doing!
So I need a dose of my own motivation! Thankfully I haven't gained but I've ruined my chance of a green month which was my goal.🙄
So take a leaf out of my book- don't eat your feelings!! It achieves nothing!4 -
back from church now & whilst forwarding the live stream I've been on a motivation search.Don't know about you but I need a kick for the week to get me refocused.
This is sooooooo my problem

This is one of my eldests quotes!1 -
I tend to head to towards "Gym time with Zac Efron"
Whatever keeps you motivated - have a good week.
Don't forget to check out the FAT2FIT May Week 3 Challenge - 'Ladder up'.
I'm going to go for daily steps.1 -
@jessicakrall8 Thank you! And good job on staying in control!
@JoDavo66 I'm so sorry! You've had one heck of a week. 😪2 -
I was doing so well at finally starting to lose weight and then we found out we were moving from California to Texas. I have completely lost all the progress I made and gained an extra pound at this point. I am so disappointed at how I have turned back to stress eating.
My problem too. Have a look at quotes for the week1 -

@DreaRN15 I used to have the same problem with my fitbit dying on me...finally got into the habit of charging it overnight, by plugging it into my computer or laptop same as I do with plugging my phone into the wall socket...doing both reminds me and heck, I'm sleeping so it's not like I'm going to need it...just a thought...hope it helps...
Also, many of us have struggled this week...dust yourself off, spend a little time today meal planning and here's to having a productive week for all of us!! I'm with ya!

Team Challenge...for those of you who track your steps with Fitbit, I will happily do some random challenges, if you'd like to be Fitbit friends...you can find me as JessicaK, email is jakrall@cox.net. Send me a note letting me know you're sending me a friend's invite, as I don't just add people at random...we can motivate each other. I'm still recovering from a knee injury so don't expect miracles, but I'm trying...

This was a rough week, so I'm happy to have dropped the bloat gain from last week and then some. I did still walk to/from work every day and got in a few brief runs on top of that, but overall I did not feel mentally in the game. So snacky and exhausted and just getting super frustrated with everything. I recognize I've been quite successful since starting again in earnest in January, but this was the first time since then that I really just wanted to quit.
I do feel a little better today. Would like to fully shake off this pity party as quickly as possible. Going to try to check in a bit more often because that should help me stay engaged when I'm losing steam...and steam was definitely lost this past week. As Jessica mentioned, a lot of us had a rough go of it last week, so hopefully we can all bounce back!
In less mopey news, I had my 6 month review at my not-so-new-anymore job and it went really well! I'm in the middle of a big project, so I'll still be stressed for the next month+ until all samples are collected/prepared/analyzed, but at least I'm in a position where I have a great relationship with everyone I work with. It helps that we're still in the startup size and there's basically only four of us lol. While I am at a place where extra effort is a general baseline expectation (e.g. I worked both days this weekend), it's nice that said effort is sincerely appreciated.3 -

Good morning @kerdil08 ...to have had such a difficult week and still pull off a great loss, WOW...WIN-freakin WIN!!! WTG!
Congrats on the great review...it always feels great to get that positive feedback and validation!! What industry are you in and what is your job? I'm a systems analyst in the Logistics section of IT and I'm in the transportation industry working for a large shipping company that sends those steel containers all over the world via ship, rail or truck. I crunch lots of numbers, work with EDI (electronic data) and am a liaison between the company the the data service providers. I was in banking back in the day and I love this so much more...never pictured myself in transportation, but it's so interesting to me getting things from point A to point B and all stops in between. Every day is a new adventure.
I agree with you, we're past the pity party and we're going to have a great week! I predict it!!!
Enjoy your day...can't wait to hear more about your job and your big project...sounds amazing!
