Was hoping for a bit more but happy with this loss. It has been a pretty crazy week with the family taking turns having covid. I haven't caught it yet which is a miracle considering i've had nightly visits from feverish kids who end up in my bed till morning. I'm bracing myself for when it hits me and how I will manage. 1 day at a time....4 -
I hope everyone has had/is having a good Saturday.
We had a lovely meal but I am stuffed now! A company converted a Landrover Defender by adding a pizza oven to it, and they used to visit the office monthly pre-pandemic. Whilst I don't like cheese, they were happy to make a marinara pizza (the base & tomato sauce) and got me on to adding honey and a few chilli flakes; yummy! They opened a pizzeria just before Covid struck and we finally went this evening. I had my marinara, then a couple of scoops of ice cream with Nutella for dessert. I am slightly over my calorie goal (including exercise calories!) for the day but it's a one off, plus tracking takeaways/meals out is complete guesswork anyway.
I did a lot of scrubbing of walls today so hoping to counter it a little - will have lots more to do tomorrow and potentially a run or walk if I can find the time.6 -

Wew! What a week! So many ups and downs emotionally. I'm happy I had a slight loss and that I didn't go off the rails. My logging hasn't been great because I haven't been on much, but food is ok. I got pilates done 3 days this week. All the move stuff is time consuming. This is the most complicated move we have ever made because the housing market is ridiculous. Apparently, contingency sales are not a thing right now. A realtor told me I need to sell my house first, find a temporary place to stay, then look for a house and put in an offer ready to go. You either have to have cash or a pre-approved offer. This terrified me. I'd essentially be homeless. I don't like it. I have had more emotional swings than I can ever remember. Thankfully, I have a wonderful husband who understands and is supportive. Each time I have a breakdown, we talk it out and come up with some plan. Not going to lie, this stuff is so hard. We need to be brave and bold. We have gotten too comfortable and conservative in our actions.
Hard or not, I cannot bear to not be near my sweet little granddaughter. (I know double negative--it's been that kind of week.). We've found cute houses I apparently can't make offers on and still have not found a place to go temporarily while we wait to pounce on a new home. SMH. I talk to my realtor here on Tuesday about putting my house on the market. Did I mention how much I love my house? Anyway, I do feel great about heading back to the Philadelphia area and being around "my people" and family.
Nice to read about everyone's week and read those tiny triumphs. Tiny triumph for me today was having my best step day this week at over 11K. How did I do that?! We are expecting a "big storm" Izzy over the next 24-48 hours. People in NC are so funny! They are losing their minds over 5 inches of snow. There was literally no food on the shelves in the grocery. My daughter and her family are having a sleepover in case they lose power with the ice. We have a generator and heat.

@micki48 I understand your situation. Moving right now is really crazy. Our neighbors listed their house for sale and then took it off the market because it was just too overwhelming at the moment. We are also considered selling ours and moving to a different state and the idea is daunting during this time, to say the least. Give yourself some compassion, for sure.

Celebrated my sister's birthday with her yesterday (Saturday) by having a party at my house. She loves to drink alcohol, so I planned out several cocktails, which were delicious but also sent me over my calories. We made and rolled our own sushi, and finished with some vegan cheesecake (she's vegan). In sum, it was a bit much for me and felt a little out of control, as I have a tendency to binge eat. The party kind of set off that trigger for me. Today I am staying positive and reflecting on that time as fun.
Tonight I have another party that I'm hosting for friends. A potluck. I am looking forward to the people, but I am going to have to stay mentally and emotionally present with all that food!

I am so thankful for this 3 day weekend. Last week was hard and I need this weekend to reset and recharge. I need to make a realistic plan. I think I will go back to IF. That worked for em last spring, when I wasn't able to get in my morning workouts. I want to get in atleast 20 min Barre 4 days and lift 2 days. The Barre shouldn't be too hard because I can usually do that with Mabel, but finding the time to lift will be more challenging.6

Happy Sunday!
Sneak preview - we are NUMBER ONE!!! Our team had a fabulous week. We lost 38.8 pounds (17.6 kg) and had a very high percentage of people "in the green" - even better than last week at 64.5%. That is a week worth building on! Keep up the great green, folks.
Week 3 tends to be slump week. So let's think about what worked this past week, what helped keep things on track - all the positives. I know that there are birthdays, terrible weather, and all kinds of bumps in the road, but getting back on track afterwards is a huge rush of positive energy to combat that dreaded slip off course. Don't get stuck! We'll call the tow truck, promise!7 -

I lost weight Sunday & Monday, and that’s unusual because I love my nachos. I counted my chips, & I was successful.
I spent the rest of the week at 156.5. 5 days! How can I plateau? I’m just starting! We’ll, I usually have soup for lunch. I did deli meat sandwiches for dinner, & deli meat has so much sodium. Last night, I did 1/2 the deli meat & added regular chicken breast for a loss. I will make sodium adjustments for next week. I have less than 1200mg of sodium per day, but this week I was over 2000. I had a calorie deficit of 250-350 per day, so I was expecting a loss.4 -
Steps for last week. I didn't get my walk in Saturday like I wanted, but even at 2k steps that's more than I've been trending on the weekends so I'll take it.
My son has 2 friends sleep over for his birthday and we had pizza last night. I went over calories for sure, but thankfully not by too much. Today has been good so far. After his friends left my son and I went to the library to pick out a book for his book report then we came home and had lunch and went through some recipes together to meal plan for the week.3 -
