I'm having issues with my right foot with that lovely friend, plantar fasciitis this week. I wish he would just GO AWAY! So, rather than getting out and doing lots of walking, I'll have to somewhat take it easy this weekend...I have been pushing myself, but I am REALLY getting into walking more and just loving it. I wish I could experience for five minutes what 50 pounds down from now will feel like...I just know it's going to be glorious...
This week's luncheon was nice at work and I kept control. Yesterday's Chinese food has me a little swollen this morning and my foot on top of that...I'm not a very happy camper today, but trying to make the best of it...I've gotten up, showered, dressed and getting ready to head to the grocery. This upcoming week is Thanksgiving for us in the US. I'm not cooking...so I'll likely go out and pick something up. There will be a few choices, but today, I want to make sure I pick up some baked chicken from the grocery deli. It makes my life simpler and with all the extra work I've been doing at work, it's easier if all I have to do is steam some veggies and reheat the chicken for my dinner meals.
I've made the decision to stop teaching piano. After 23 years of teaching, I am looking forward to closing that chapter of my life. Don't get me wrong, I have loved every minute of it, but now, in my free time after my day job, I want to concentrate on me...walking, working towards my fitness and weight loss goals, reading, playing piano FOR ME and not others...looking forward to what this new chapter brings. Will be really hard to tell my current families and to announce it on my FB studio page though...not looking forward to that part...but life goes on...
OK, off to the store...enjoy your day all!
Jessica

Ramblings of the day
Good morning team. Not much to report today. Had to increase my dose of the new meds on Saturday which I was really worried about. But it seems like I get less side effects on that dose. Cautiously optimistic about that since it has only been 1 day, so will see how it goes. Happy Sunday everyone
@jessicakrall8
That must have been a really hard choice to make. I can imagine a lot of time goes into it though, considering it's something you do besides your regular job. Making more room for yourself sounds like a great idea. I hope you will enjoy the extra time you free up!1 -

@suziieq56 Sometimes it's all about mitigating the damage! This next week, you'll likely see a good drop...good deal!
@Arc130 good loss!
@CasandraW Hopefully your week ahead will be a bounce back in the other direction!
@Pupowl Thank you for your kind words...yes, tough decision, but I'm just tired...and now that I can financially do without that extra income, my focus is just going in a different direction. I think 23 years is a good run...I'm sure I'll miss it though...the kids are always such fun and it's great to watch them grow in their ability...but it's time.

Captain's Challenge Wrap-up/Review
Well, I was planning to have this week be a wrap-up of the Captain's Challenge we've been working on for the past two months, but this past week was week 8 and I barely got one posting about it. So, if you participated in the challenge during Sept-Nov, please take a minute and discuss what you learned, what helped you, what didn't and what you feel were your triumphs and downfalls. Talking about our progress in this journey, helps us to think and plan and helps others to see different perspectives.
Hope it helped you in some way. I feel it really helped me to focus and work through some issues. The good habits I developed will stick with me and my weak points helped to strengthen me in other ways. I feel I'm communicating better, definitely walking more and with rededication to taking care of my fitness/health. My water intake is better and portion control more consistent. Some times my choices aren't always the best, but I'm trying to make more informed choices and still let myself enjoy a few of my favorite things on a controlled basis.
Hope to hear from each of you this week on how the challenge met some of your needs.
Thanks,

Ramblings of the day
Good morning team. Not much to say. Still doing okay on the higher dose of medication. The main things that stayed is not wanting to eat, some dizziness and tiredness/headaches. Looking forward to going to the gym and I think I will finish my puzzle today. Happy Monday everyone 2 -

Hi all,so I have just managed to upload an image which is a FIRST for me !! Maybe the upgrades have made it possible,I am on android mobile so who knows.
I put this on as I was feeling a bit down at the weekend.You see I am a serial yoyo dieter,this has been going on for many years.I last got to goal in May this year. I did pretty well at maintenance for a while but as you can see I went down & up again to the same place.I know some people on here have a bigger weight loss journey than me but I really thought I had got it this time.
Sorry for being a moaning Minnie. So I got up this morning & thought I know why this has happened.I haven't been moving as much.I haven't been drinking enough water.I haven't been to the gym as often as I should.Ive had far too much chocolate & wine.
So after a good nag to myself I have got this,thanks to this group for a space to share & hopefully give me the accountability I need.I am also going to share my diary as this may control my unhealthy snacking.
Have a great Monday y'all.🙂3 -
Here is another finished puzzle. Really liked this one, colours are really pretty. Some pieces weren't cut properly so I had to remove some cardboard sometimes. Otherwise it was lovely. Tinus also approved. I had 1 piece left when I was done, I got it double, so I hope some other poor soul isn't missing this piece.

Monday Weigh-in

Woke up with some swelling in my left knee today...hoping it will go down today. Yesterday's food choices weren't the best...had a piece of peach pie and thought that would be my dinner, but about 8pm, I knew I needed some protein, so it through my totals off for the day...still was under because of my walk yesterday morning and my usual cleaning. I try not to eat that late, but I napped yesterday some in the afternoon and that always makes me wide awake in the evening...
It's going to be a busy week this week even though I only work three days...getting ready for any sort of holiday makes the IT errors multiple like bunnies, but I'm hoping for the best. Hope you all have a wonderful Monday!2
