Well ill be honest when I say I thought today was Monday....I had appointments yesterday out of town so I took the day off work and its throwing me for a loop!
Today is supposed to be my weigh in day but since I thought it was Monday today I didn't weigh myself. I will weigh in tomorrow and log it.
Sorry!!!!
I frequently don't know what day it is. Or walk around saying...No, today is...because I'm sure it should be some other day. And I'm in conferences all week this week, so working remotely and that makes it SO much worse.2 -

Welcome to our third week of July, everybody! We've seen some incredible losses over the past week, and some of you have been maintaining momentum (and making it look easy!) - so proud of our team!
As for me, I'm eating leftover fried chicken for breakfast. So, I'm happy. It's Tuesday, so I am not worried about eating too many calories (lifting before work, two spin classes after), and I'll be happy to have these tempting foods out of my fridge for my rest day tomorrow.
I also wrote a blog post yesterday, while MFP was acting wonky. If you want to read it, here ya go: LINK~ Walk Around the Earth To Ease Your Troubled Mind ~
Our mighty team of eight steppers walked a staggering 493,595 steps over the course of the week - who knows what they're going to accomplish next!
Here's the leaderboard...
Over 10,000 Steps Per Day:
@kandi3570 - 88,683 total | 12,669 average
@ljdanny - 85,597 total | 12,228 average - Most Steps in One Day!
Over 5,000 Steps Per Day:
@sandielewis2001 - 66,762 total | 9,537 average
@lennoncpa - 65,094 total | 9,299 average
@annliz23 - 58,297 total | 8,328 average - End of the Week Glow Up!
@dbrinkmeyer - 55,300 total | 7,900 average
@pacsnc6 - 46,190 total | 6,599 average - Most Consistent!
@melaniedscott - 27,672 total | 3,953 average
What do we think about the current format of the steps announcement? Do we want more statistics? Less? Back to my old format? Should I drop the steps and stick more to screaming motivational nonsense into the void? Let me know what you think.
I like it!2 -

July Week Three
Weigh In Day: Wednesdays
PW (Previous Weight): 168.2 (July 7th)
CW (Current Weight): 167.8 (July 14th)
LTD (Loss to Date): 66.2 lbs
I'm guaranteed to be retaining water from overdoing it yesterday. My leg day lift plus two spin classes have rendered my calves overcooked spaghetti with pain sauce. I also have not been eating the best as of lately, since I desperately needed to go grocery shopping to get more produce and whatnot, but did not have the time or energy to make it over there until my lunch break yesterday. I also did that fun thing where you have to try all of the fun things you bought, so there was quite a bit of snacking after my return from the store.
I know I've said this before, but it's time to get back to basics.7 -

Weighing in a day early because we are leaving to go camping tonight.
I am very excited to see my whoosh finally came this week. I always need to remind myself that when the scale stalls staying consistent is the key. Three weeks in the green!5 -

If I worked from home I would be lost! I typically pull four 10s and have Friday, Saturday and Sunday off which is nice but really messes with me when I have to take a different day off.

I didn't gain and didn't lose so I can't be too upset. My sons birthday was Friday and we had guests and treats for three days straight. We were then out of town Monday for appointments so I really didn't eat the best for four days. I can tell when I need to get back on track because I feel like garbage. I'm sluggish and tired and bloated. I need to be serious about this and if I'm honest I haven't been.
I lost about 10 lbs a few months ago. My son and I got sick and I lost motivation as it took forever for my cough to go away. I wasn't sleeping so I wasn't getting up early to work out. I was only sleeping an hour or so before waking up due to my cough and struggling to go back to sleep. (Not covid) I gained the weight that I lost back and I've been stuck there ever since.
I need a kick in the pants!!!3 -

I'm excited to see the scale keep moving in the right direction, not really sure how that's happening. Maybe I won't need the weight loss clinic. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps going down but every time I lose a few a gain even more. I did read some place that meds and vitamins can cause weight gain, I have run out of some of my vitamins and haven't gone to buy them yet and I am wondering if that's the reason for the loss. I am also trying to watch my portion size and get my daily steps in but I always try to do that.4

Yesterday, I had a stark reminder of how lucky I am.
I was complaining (just to myself in the security of my own little head) that it didn't stop raining and therefor I couldn't go biking, couldn't go diving, couldn't fire up the bbq - it's supposed to be summer, right? But then yesterday morning, torrential rains suddenly led to flash floods and rivers overflowing everywhere and a large part of the country (and some other countries in Europe, like Germany and The Netherlands) just became a war zone: houses collapsed, ten-thousands households are without electricity, people are still trapped in their attics and unfortunately around 12 people died and a lot are still unaccounted for. So today, I'm just grateful that our house is warm and dry and all my loved ones are safe and sound.1 -

Steps 54852
A little frustrated because DH wants to ride our bikes in the morning instead of walking so my step count is down. 103 here in the afternoons so getting the extra on my own has been tough. I'm trying to adapt my schedule the best I can.
I need to apologize to this team too for my food choices at night. I am clearly making emotional choices. I have a tough job and my business partner is being a real *** right now. I have 3 pregnant daughters. I seem to be in trouble with one of them at any given time.
I know, champagne problems, so I am sorry for not being better this week.

That's rough. And you don't have to apologize to us. We know how hard it can be to make wise choices when stressed. How much pregnant overlap will there be?melaniedscott wrote: »Well ill be honest when I say I thought today was Monday....I had appointments yesterday out of town so I took the day off work and its throwing me for a loop!

How is the conference going?
The conference is really good which really impresses me about a virtual. I've been struggling with vertigo so I haven't been able to do any of the social stuff, which I'm missing. But when looking at the screen for 30 more seconds (let alone an hour and a half) is the difference between being able to function (hopefully) the rest of the evening or lying on the floor in the bathroom for four hours...well, I shut the screen off. I barely made it through my 3 hour session before the dizxies took me down. Up side: the last dizzies were Wed pm. Maybe I'm out of it. Fingers crossed.
I've also been fighting some pretty ugly headaches, which could also be a side effect of the vertigo (maybe that is the crazy barometric shifts we're having) and don't want to go away.
So that's why you haven't seen much of me this week. I need to pop off now to give my eyes a break before the last 5 hrs of conference.2 -
I’ve been having a hard time keeping up, between Reno’s and just overall life business is it possible to be taken out of the group for a while, when I’m able to really get back into it I’ll be back if that’s possible!3

We could move you to the cheer squad. Would that work? Then you pop in if you want but weighins are optional.0 -

Week 3
Pw 161.8
Cw 161.8
I seem to be stuck at this number! I should be happy with it…my food choices lately have not been great. I need to get back to logging. And all this rain has kept me from my runs, but there are other workouts I could do instead and I haven’t.
It’s a new week and I’d really like to try to get the scale to a new number. I’d love to get into the 150s. New goal: get into the 150s by Aug 1st! I think that’s totally doable.3 -

PW 175.5

Steps 64005. I couldn’t find my Fitbit for 3 days this week. So my steps are not accurate.
Back to bouncing around this number I thought I was getting back on track but my body refuses to go any lower. I started going back to the gym so I don’t expect it to drop anytime soon. My goal is 168, so I can say I lost 100 pounds. I don’t know if I will ever make it. I’m starting to lose hope. I’ve been around 177 since January. Well anyway I’m going to keep trying. And I’m content with where I’m at. It’s just a goal to say 100. I guess 92 may have to do.7 -

I didn't really have time (or energy) to read your blog post until today. That is super cool.

This my weightloss this week.
Great hair, Melanie! Reminds me of this. So popular when I was in grade eight
Trying to decide if that is good thing or a bad thing...Is that Mary Lou Retton?
My hair is too...everything to be as smooth and flat as that pic. I think it (hair) is excited to not be heavy and is aiming for floofy. We'll see.
It's not just a good thing, it's a great thing. It's Dorothy Hamill, an Olympian skater from the 70s. I had to have her haircut then and it's trending again now. Great hair style!!0 -
