Agreed.1 -
I have been having trouble sleeping lately. Usually, my head hits the pillow and I am out until morning. I have a lot on my mind. Lack of sleep = cranky Wendy. I am at a heightened level of irritability and my emotions are way out of whack. I am crying at the smallest things, like writing this post...
How am I going to get through this day?8 -
Wendy, If you need to ‘unload’ your irritability on someone, feel free to send a direct message to me about what’s on your mind. I read earlier about the death of your step-son and my heart goes out to you and your husband. To me, a good cry seems completely reasonable and might be exactly what you need to get through the day. Maybe you can make some kind of deal with yourself to make it to lunch and then take a walk or drive some place peaceful where you can release your feelings more comfortably? I would probably tell my co-workers and/or family that I’m having a bad day, and ask for some patience or support, so other feelings don’t add on to your already bad day. Maybe they can help make it a little better.
If you’re thinking more about day-to-day work that needs to be done, my strategy is to list everything out and then take it one step at a time in little chunks. It’s better to whittle away at it, even if you can’t finish everything. I’ve been having trouble sleeping the last few nights, too - and it’s really messing with my ‘green’ streaks in the Habit Tracker! - but I’m pushing through this morning at work so I can make time to go rowing this afternoon. Is there a small reward you can look forward to that could help you get through the day? ... relaxing bath or something fun?
I hope focusing on one tiny step works for you. Another approach I use is to think about the big picture of the world in which we live. We’re emerging from a pandemic and we’ve survived so many days of uncertainty. So, you’re more than likely to get through this day more resilient than ever! I have confidence in you just based on your interaction here in MFP. You can do it. Hugs and best wishes today. Please check back in if you can to let us know how it’s going.5 -

I gained 2 lbs after vacation last week so this is a win in my books5 -
Good Morning all.
We are preparing for our beach trip (Thursday-Sunday).
Today I am going to take some time to develop a beach protocol to support my habit goals while I am out of my regular routine. I plan to let myself enjoy some yummy seafood and will adjust my calorie goal a bit for that.
I think my walking goal will be easy (except for the travel days) so I was thinking of doing something like.
When we stop for restroom breaks...
I will walk 500 steps.
The weather will be in the mid 70s, so not super great for swimming, but walking the boardwalk will feel awesome!
Have a wonderful day everyone.

Thank you @PatriceFitnessPal . I am eating my emotions today but getting through it. Every once in a while I get burnt out and feel like I deserve so much more but then it passes and I saddle up and keep going. I am the strong one in my family so knowing I need to be there for everyone else kinds helps me to break out of it faster. But then I am also not dealing with the feelings and I know that isn't good either. I appreciate your support and offer to listen. I think tonight I will reward myself with a nice long yoga session followed by a hot shower.

Last week's weigh in would've been 234.6. Previous weight two weeks ago was 234.8.
This week's weigh in is 235.4. Slight gain but it's been a heat wave and for me it's harder to stay on track when I am sweating away. It's cooled down now, thank goodness!!!2 -
I have been suffering from commitment issues lately…. And wondering why I’m gaining weight.
A friend suggested that I listen to a video by Corrine Crabtree. She is a motivational speaker about weight loss and OMG FUNNY!!! One of the things she said is that when she decided to lose weight, she did not do anything that she was not willing to do forever. This hit home. I made a list today… just 5 things that I can commit to.
I am ok with adjusting this list as I go, but 5 for now…
1. 64+ oz water
2. Under 1500 cal unless planned
3. +30 min exercise 3 times a week
4. Stay alcohol free
5. Get up and dressed every day!
This is not a difficult list and it gives me flexibility.

Great losses and goals, everyone!
Today we had our anatomy ultrasound appointment, and it looks like we’re expecting a little girl
of course, the kid will eventually tell us if the midwife’s assumption was right, but at least her genitals give us an educated guess. We’re not big on gender stereotypes or pushing gender-based clothing, toys or activities, but you are anonymous and won’t treat my baby differently based on their gender 
we also got a nicely round weight estimate of 333 grams.
Now it’s naptime, I woke up at 2AM and couldn’t sleep any more because I was so stressed before our 8AM ultrasound appointment. Now I have a good 2 hours to take a nap before my first work meeting - thank goodness I was smart enough to clear the entire morning so I can focus on the baby and myself for a few hours after the appointment.4 -
