Hi all. I’m back on track and even though I’m up I feel good that I have been able to recover from my overindulgence while away. Congratulations to all who have lost this week. Keep it up.

@Katmary71 the road rash on my hands is nearly gone, thanks to the medical miracle of Polysporin😜. I am with you, I don’t even remember oh my goals, I think I will simplify and restate them! Great idea thanks for that!

A huge welcome and thank you @jessicakrall8 for taking on the role of moderator!

@trooworld vannie is doing better, we went to agility tonight! We missed last week and this week we only took half of our turns, but that was enough as she is still on a restricted diet. She just loves agility so much it is hard to get her to take it easy LOL. I am so sorry that your migraines are staying so consistent, really hoping your doctor has some answers on Friday! Good for you for eating well, especially when you’re feeling so poorly.

@TeresaW1020 my word you have a busy schedule! But your day always sounds so fun! About a week ago I was thinking I had to call and schedule my flu shot, I had a bit of running around to do and was going to call as soon as I got back. I stopped at Costco to go into the pharmacy and as I was looking at their soaps a little voice behind me said “would you like a flu shot”? Sure enough, there was the ppharmacists assistant, filling in their appointment schedule. Boy you really can get everything at Costco!🤣🤣

well it was a super good day today! I did get over to the gym and took the spin class, it was so much fun! I had signed up for a stretch class after that, apparently that teacher wasn’t there and the replacement was a yoga instructor, can I just say I got a very challenging work out after the spin class🤣. It was super fun though and I will go back for sure! Vannie had agility this afternoon, she is not back to full strength yet so we took fewer and shorter turns, but still had fun and she is exhausted!
I am going to run a hot bath with Epson salt‘s, I am a little afraid I won’t be able to move tomorrow and I have to take my mom shopping😜

I ended up gaining 0.8 pounds this week. It was the first week on the new WW program. I have a love-hate relationship with it. My zero point foods are veg, fruit, tofu, beans, potatoes and whole grains. If I had stayed the course and chose better foods to use my extra points on, I think I would've had a loss. Instead, I ended the week at -11. This week I'm working the program, no matter what!

Hunter is back at home now and doing great. I'd say her mind is back to about 95%. She still has a lapse here and there, but the doctor cleared her to go back to work in a limited basis. She happily took her note into the job yesterday and her manager stopped what she was doing to put Hunter back on the schedule immediately...so she's at work today for a 6 hour shift.

Side note - is anyone having trouble with the new Community when you're on the app? When I try going to the Community page, it's just a blank screen. The only way I can get on here is on my tablet. Weird.

@laurelfit57 I didn’t get my flu shot after all because Walmart’s pharmacy was super busy and I didn’t have time to wait. I will probably go up to CVS at some point this week. Costco!! I can’t tell you how excited I am that we are finally getting one built. I was at Hobby Lobby yesterday and the Costco is going in right next door. It should be open in the next few months!! I imagine that your poor body is sore from the spin class and yoga but it’s a good kind of hurt, right? I did an upper body yesterday and today my chest and triceps are crying. Today it was the booty’s turn to cry.

@trooworld You are doing soooo well! Just three pieces of chocolates is a real win in my book!

@vegan4lyfe I’m glad that Hunter is doing so well that she is able to go back to work. And you will get the hang of the WW plan and make it work for you. I haven’t used MFP on the app lately so I am no help in that area.

@Cornanda Finding things to do to keep you busy is a great plan! Boredom is never good for us when we are trying to lose weight. Of course, being super busy isn’t good either!


Hi Team! Today was a good day. I did an 80 Day Obsession booty workout. My triceps and shoulder blades are so sore from yesterday’s upper body that I can barely lift my arms. I spent a good amount of time today on the computer making graphics for the church website and FB page for all the upcoming events and I got my Sunday school lesson prepped. We are of course doing something that talks about being thankful.
Day 56 of the 100-day Challenge Commitments:
1. Workout or do church cleaning 5 to 6 days a week
2. Eat mostly high protein, low carb, moderate fat
3. Restart Data Driven Fasting and work it like a boss! Starts on Saturday
4. NO unplanned sugar!
2021 Word: TRANSFORMATION

@Jactop congrats on the loss!!

@trooworld Vannie has been passed out most of the day after that workout yesterday 🤣.
Good for you for limiting yourself to three chocolates!! Measuring is so important, but I am afraid I am the same in that I typically eyeball things. Now that I am getting down to the last little bit I am getting more strict about measuring once again, not always easy! It really is amazing what it is like when you drink enough water.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Good for you for only gaining .8 pounds, so much stress and a new program to boot! So glad to hear that Hunter is back home and that her mind is really functioning at such a great level! That’s awesome that she’s back at work and happy to be there!!

@Cornanda I find that when I am getting bored with a program, I can definitely get in a funk and get sloppy with it, switching things up is a great idea! I don’t know what kind of YouTube Exercise you like to do but there is a fellow named Rick Bhullar, who I find pretty entertaining. He does a lot of Walking workout videos. I actually ended up joining his pate site for a few months while I couldn’t get into the gym. He’s YouTube channel is called Getting Fit with Rick. If you want somebody to make you laugh while you work out, he’s the one.

@TeresaW1020 sounds like you had an amazing workout! I am thinking that your booty is going to be screaming at you tomorrow LOL.

It was a good day today and I was surprisingly not as stiff as I thought I was going to be! I have been working out at home in one form or another, 5 to 6 days a week. Maybe I have been doing a better job than I thought LOL! I am going to go take another spin class tomorrow, I think I will be increasing the tension😜.

I gained a pound last week, which didn’t surprise me at all! Trying to get in really good workouts and stay totally on track this week, it really feels good to be moving again!
We had such a major snow dump here in the last 24 hours, it’s insane! I took my mom out this morning before it got too bad, on the way back, after I dropped her off and was on my way home, a bus spun out in front of me and almost hit a bus stop! I came home and didn’t go out the rest of the day! I am really hoping that they sand the roads before tomorrow morning, I would love to get to the gym in the morning!

Oops.... I forgot to tell you about an NSV I had over the weekend. I broke my record for steps in a day: 27,450! First, I did some extra exercise, including a bit of running. It went better than I thought it would and I wasn't sore the next day. Then, I did cleaning and some yardwork. And after that we went to our county fair. I had a beer, but didn't eat any fair food. I earned two FitBit badges on Sat!

I've also decided to try to journal NSVs and good things that happen each day. When I get in a funk like this, it's easy to focus on the bad instead of the good.

Awhile back, I mentioned a book I was reading. It is: Never Binge Again by Glenn Livingston.

Been thinking about how to give a succinct summary of the book...

Basically, your urge to eat too much is a survival instinct gone wrong. Your brain uses it against you. (ie Lizard brain) He refers to it as a specific evil beast and says you should keep it in a cage. It sounds a bit crazy, but basically you are separating your "fat thinking" from "healthy thinking"

Cons to the book- he writes like a gimmicky infomercial. His ideas seem oversimplified.

Pros: His descriptions of the "arguments" the "beast" will have with you are surprisingly accurate, and he gives logical reasons why they are BS. I think there are some tools in there that I will be using. You can get a free copy of the book on his website:

https://www.neverbingeagain.com/

I haven't finished it yet, but I read quite a bit of it. His ideas are different than what I've run across before, so I thought I would mention it in case anyone has an interest.

@trooworld- Yay you on your loss this week! So glad that new plan is working for you!

@leonadixon - Gosh, I hate it when that happens! Hopefully you'll find a few calorie tweaks you can make.

It's been a pretty good week. Overall, eating has been good. More days than not I've stuck with my 100 day challenge. Last night Hubby wanted to go for an evening walk, so I got an extra two miles in. We'll see what the scale says tomorrow. Now I'm off to do some Christmas shopping!

@jessicakrall8 Congratulations on becoming moderator, I know you're going to do an awesome job, we're lucky to have you in Fit2Fat! For my Slimpossibles Jessica is one of my friends on here and last year she went way out of her way to help me with piano books for my nephew, she's an amazing person and friend.

@trooworld Congratulations on the loss, I didn't know WW had a new program. Did you get an appointment for your migraines? I feel so bad whenever you say you're still dealing with them because I know how bad they can be. I hope there's an end in sight!

@TeresaW1020 I have to try that wing sauce, that sounds really good! I always forget about that line but I need to try it, especially with air fryer food! Our church does Operation Christmas Child as well, it seems like a great organization. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's nodule, I'll keep him in my prayers.

@laurelfit57 Two classes in one day, you probably will need that Epsom salt bath! I'm glad Vannie is on the mend!

@vegan4lyfe2012 It takes a little while getting to learn a new routine, I'm sure once you've adapted to the new WW you'll be doing amazing. I'm so happy to hear Hunter is home and well enough to work, that's wonderful!

@Cornanda You're doing amazing, that's a lot of steps, congratulations on the awards! I've heard that's a good book, I think I follow his group on Facebook now that I think about it! I haven't read it yet though. I love reading of couples going for walks and working out together, it's so healthy physically and for the relationship.

@lose4me71 Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm noticing people around this age tend to say what you did, they wish they had never waited so long. My best friend has endometriosis too and we text each other about how close we are all the time, I keep saying we need a buy 1 get 1 free deal with an OB! I'm so glad it helped you.

@leonadixon I hope things balance out soon, I know I always forget stuff if I don't log consistently, I'll probably be an MFPer for life.

Hi everyone. Well my last doctor's appointment for the month and thank goodness my cystoscopy and ultrasound showed nothing except he said I have a huge bladder, what do you say to that? I just said thank you, the better to pee with right?! Not much else going on, my weight's finally moving in the right direction again. My ex-boyfriend still hasn't moved so I gave him an eviction notice, he was supposed to be gone in September, it hasn't been fun and I'm really fed up. On a positive note my workouts are going awesome and I'm gaining strength. I have a new Samsung phone to get used to, it's so much faster and the battery lasts a lot longer than my 7 year old phone but you know how it is getting used to new technology, I think the brain is a little resistant. I'm having two Thanksgivings so I guess I should decide how I'll do this, I think I'll just enjoy them because if I start cutting calories for the day then I'll be super hungry and I'll eat way too much.

Have a wonderful Thursday!
