Merry Christmas to all!

@TeresaW1020 - I'm so glad you asked for some help and I'm glad you journaled. I knew you lost your daughter, but did not know it was that recent. I'm so sorry. You are a strong and courageous lady and those traits will carry you through the next couple weeks.

@broncobuddee I completely forgot to weigh in yesterday. Please give me a NWI or just keep the same as last week. Thanks!

@GabiV125 I had never heard of the avalanche style of writing but I'll look it up. Thanks and have a nice Christmas if you celebrate! quote]

Hi Trooworld , it’s not a thing I just made it up to sum my style of timid start, gasping at the first sentence that I would never say out loud, to all barrels out on bad days. Maybe avalanche was not the best word because while it exposed some deeper fear roots ultimately responsible for a specific reaction, there’s no destruction nor burying under 😁.

I do celebrate Christmas, too. Fun fact my go to Christmas meal is stuffed cabbage and I got carried away yesterday and now we have 87 pieces- so come on over friends!

Merry Christmas everyone and lots of 🎁🎄❤️!

Merry Christmas!

How much weight can a person gain in one week? I was +5 yesterday but salt was definitely part of it. Things should be better going forward. @TeresaW1020 - I did have that frosted cookie for you.

Had a nice quiet holiday with just the 4 of us. Went overboard with the food I made, that's something I have to work on. Took a long walk with husband yesterday, then a second long walk with my daughter. Didn't beat my all time record, but got in over 23,000 steps!

Hi Team! I’m doing a quick check-in. I see you are all doing well. Many of us ate and drank too much but that is OK. The holiday is over and now we can concentrate on the New Year and how we are going to make it the best one EVER!! I spent the last two days taking down all my Christmas and my house is looking fresh and clean and just what I need for the week that lies ahead. Tomorrow, I will do the church and go grocery shopping. I haven’t stepped on the scale in four days.

I cannot remember when I posted last but eating Christmas cookies all day is no good. Now that it's all behind me I'm studying on how to tackle this problem. I'm thinking of trying keto again with I. F..

Welcome @adoglover! 2022 will be exciting for sure!
@TeresaW1020 You have your hands full that’s for sure! I will sure be thinking of you in this upcoming week!!
Reflecting over the last year, I am pleased with my progress, especially the last half of the year :-). I think I have figured out for me the key thing is keeping it extremely simple! I think trying to get involved in many challenges and more complicated ways of doing things, although it is very appealing to me, I get bogged down in all of it. My key for the last six months which seem to work was simple calories in calories out and checking in with this group. I also do a lot of meal prep, so I always have simple healthy meals ready to go in my freezer. Tracking my protein and trying to keep my protein at 140 g seems to be key, It keeps my hunger at bay and I have a good amount of energy (trying to eat enough early in the day!). The last thing that has become really important is getting exercise every day. Some days that might just mean getting out with Vannie for a really good brisk walk, but I definitely love going to the gym and doing spin classes and antigravity classes! I really need to get back into weight training! I’m starting to get saggy LOL
Today was not a great day for eating, but I had already known it would not be. I had to have my traditional turkey with stuffing in a bun! It was delicious!! Now all of that food is gone from my fridge, sent home with everybody else, even the leftover delicious pies LOL!
Back on track tomorrow I have two casseroles ready to bake and the turkey barley soup will hopefully be in the slow cooker tomorrow!
Looking forward to a new start! Goals for the up coming year…10 lbs left to lose, would love to do that by the end of February! Then spend the last of 2022 learning how to just maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight. I don’t even know what that looks like, I think most of my adult life I have been in weight loss mode, or yo-yo mode!

Hi, Just a quick check in today.... not much going on. My stomach hurt last night because I've been eating too much. It's nice that my body gives me a nudge now as it didn't used to do that. This week will be devoted to getting caught up on little things I put aside in order to get ready for Christmas and reflecting and planning for 2022.

This week is not going to be real good for eating---we are planning a few eat outs before the kids go back to school. My daughter got a job by school and will be working weekends, so not sure when she will be back to visit. I think a family dinner out is in order.

It's nice to see goals already being posted @laurelfit57--- thanks for the motivation!

Welcome- @adoglover!

Have a good week everyone!

Hello!

My name is Erin. I currently work in a retirement community that houses independent living, assisted living, and memory care as an activities assistant. I spend most of my day at work in memory care trying to make the residents smile and laugh with my wacky antics. In my free time (during the spring, summer, and fall) I enjoy fishing and camping. I actually graduate in May from Central Michigan University with my bachelors in Psychology.

Here's to starting to loose weight!
