Good morning team. It was gym day again. I saw on Tuesday that it was really quiet at 10, so I moved my reserved hour from 8 in the morning to 10. I feel like my body works a bit better at that time as well, so I plan to go at 10 or 11 every time I go instead. I did not have a great night and my body is pretty sore at the moment, so will see how today goes.3 -

Yukie86 / Step goal: 5k
9/15 - 5382
Had a late start to my morning today, so i missed morning stretches that I've been doing daily this week (as part of the ladder up challenge). I"ll be making it up by doing stretches in the evening - don't want to break my streak.2 -
I like that so many people are putting in daily notes now...sounds like from what I'm reading that everyone is on track this week and feeling strong for the most part! Myself included!! Was really glad that last night's unexpected overtime didn't knock me off my game...made fairly good choices and ended the day with a nice walk to hit my step goal! Not bad...today I'm working from home...nice and quiet...spent my lunch hour reading and cuddling with my sweet Hazel Joy (cat)...she's so sweet. She's still learning to trust me. I don't think she's had an easy life. She was the oldest cat at the shelter when I adopted her (4 yrs old)...she's the most gentle cat I've ever met.
Back to the reports...and I have one piano lesson to teach tonight...then I can finish my current cozy mystery! Hope you're all having a phenomenal day!

@jessicakrall8 Great job on hitting your step goal after a busy day yesterday... Today sounds like it will be nice and easygoing (love it).1

Happy Friday!
My office is closed today because Typhoon is about to hit my city in an hour.
I'm learning more about nutrition and fitness while being relaxing on the couch.
This definitely was needed because I have been so tired for a few weeks.

I got my head back on straight and this week, I've started off strong. Calories under control, water intake is up, exercise is good, feeling positive...even walked OUTSIDE in the heat at work today (very hard for me to handle humidity)...trying to do 25 miles this month of INTENTIONAL walking...besides my daily 6k steps. Doing well so far...over half way to that goal. 12 miles to go and it's only the 14th. No doubt that I make it...last month was 22, previous 20. I'm edging up slowly each month because I don't want to re-injure my knee.
Please watch for messages where people need you on this team. Even Captains need a little hug once and again. A posting you make, words of encouragement, even a meme or cartoon you post, can make a difference for someone just waiting to hear a few kindnesses. I really love this team...but we all lead busy lives...try to post a few days during the week...even if just to ask a question...you might just generate a discussion that someone else needs as well! The more you give to this group, I guarantee, the more you'll get out of it!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Take care all,
Jessica
I feel bad! You're here for us we should be there for you. I added a calendar reminder for me to log in every other day and check what's going on.

Good morning team. I was feeling really sore (I think from the stairs for the ladder up challenge) and tired, so I decided to skip exercise. I did some housework instead which was also nice.
@jessicakrall8
Shelter cats are great! My Tinus is also from the shelter. I used to be a volunteer there, which was pretty rough sometimes (mostly mentally). I hope she warms up to you a bit more.2 -

So now that I'm in the second trimester I've been gaining about a pound a week😭 if this keeps up, next month I might ask to just cheer everyone on and not join in on the weight loss every week.
But I'm super excited because we found out yesterday were having a GIRL!! I have two boys already and we were hoping for girl!7 -

Good Morning Everyone,
I have been largely absent this month. So much going on and I fell (hopefully temporarily) into old habits. Between dealing with my mom’s ever-worsening dementia, to living in a province where Covid is now at its worst levels ever, I am really struggling. Last night I finally snapped out of my stress-induced fog and really noticed what I was doing. Went back through our September thread and feel guilty for not recognizing this group as a safe place to land. Am taking this wake-up call as a gift and plan to jump back in with both feet. Sorry I disappeared and please know I am here now to support you all.4 -

Not sure what happened as I had a great week. I finally got my garage gym put together and exercised almost every day. My calories were on track after the weekend. Sorry y'all.4 -

I typed a whole reply and then drove my daughter to school and the page reloaded and deleted it all lol.
I lost my motivation end of last month, being on calorie restriction for such a long time wears on you.
I dove back in last week with my plan b which is to order meal plans through the end of the year. I'm using Trifecta, my body has not adapted well to the higher starch veggies they use like carrots, zucchini, squash etc. I actually think I have lost a couple pounds of fat but I am so bloated. My stomach was in knots yesterday. Trying another week and upping my water consumption. The calories of the meals are between 1100-1200 per day. I'm beginning to think my maintenance calories will be around 1200. Trying not to worry about that yet as I'm still many months from my goal, but eating 1200 calories per day I still feel hungry pretty much all the time. Going to ask my doctor about getting prescribed contrave. I will try anything at this point!
I generally don't write much about my personal life. My 5-year-old recently started kinder. I'm sure that's why many people in the group have disappeared. Between getting signed up for art class, after school care, getting in the routine, getting all of the school uniforms, the soccer uniforms, new riding gear, nailing down who's going to drive to soccer practice, school pictures, progress reports, soccer pictures, soccer games on saturdays, there's a parade on Sunday, Spirit gear to buy, dental and doctor appointments to set up, birthday parties, back to school events, multiple fundraisers, and all of this stuff to manage on top of working full-time and being highly stressed out from dieting.
So yay! Happy September everyone. 🤣5 -

Working out causes water retention, so you probably lost fat but have a few extra pounds of water.2 -

Thank you!! I have nephews and sons, no girls in our family so I have no idea what to do with one 🤣2 -

I found an online meal planning app and was eating really healthy. I was eating a lot more fruits, vegetables, whole wheat, and logging my meals. I really hope I start going in the right direction.2 -

That makes sense. I also started taking creatine again and that can cause water retention. My water consumption is now my most consistent habit, as I get in 100-128oz / day. I used to get increasingly tired during the middle of the day, and drinking almost a gallon a day really helps.3
