Not my best but lower than end of december so on the right track. My first in Jan was a gain so taking that .4 from dec and being happy I am still going in the right direction. So close to 20 lb gone... aiming for that for next week or two.
I havent been on my exercise much as my body revolts .. either knee or calf... and this past week was that calf strain saying hey... may wanna come back. So I stopped riding that new indoor bike and gave it a rest (and when I jumped on yesterday to test it, I lowered my seat back to my comfy position that doesnt stretch my calf! ** hubs said it looked short so I ramped that seat up 1 notch and woolaa... calf spoke!)
Kids and hubs are back at jobs and college after winter break and my work restarted so trying to find a new normal in my world for the next several months after a month of a full house and everyone around. Not tons of time to log but being mindful. Probably not on that mini challenge this week but will get back on it when I settle in. Hoping to join in here more when I can get my routine settled but I do read and silently cheer you all on!
@sandkp So sorry to hear about your calf and knee acting up, but the rest you are giving them will be good. Nice loss this week! I love how you are analyzing and reporting all of your data without judgement; simply stating the facts and using the information to try to improve your success rate on this journey. I hear what you are saying about getting back into a "normal" routine. I cannot wait to find my "new normal" once my son and his girlfriend fly home on Monday night. I'll miss them, but....
@HASWLRS thanks. I hope you enjoy every minute of your company!! Then you can jump on the normal train!
I am learning slowly on how to read this leg... I have definitely learned patience with pt and recovery as they were turtle speed... and the calf strain outta nowhere that canceled my vacation taught me I cant control it all but I can figure away around it or wait it out! (Not weight it out though! 🤣)
I love puzzles and numbers and while alot of folks hate a daily number on the scale it almost makes it easier for me.. even in a gain.. to KNOW what I did or that satisfaction of knowing after seeing the loss the next day that the water or food was temporaty and I didnt gain 3 lbs in a day. Patterns make my mind rest easy. I sure hope I figure me out eventually. If I dont think of it in this way, my emotions come in along with that "just eat it" " oh well what will it hurt" or even "you did so good and it didnt matter so go ahead and have that treat" thoughts. I hate those thoughts and they usually are followed by some kind of a food intake...and then I spiral. I only want to spiral after a bottle of wine (that I accounted for) 😉
When I hit my 20 lb loss, I plan a treat for myself... pedicure or eyelass lift and tint... still not sure... pedis I love and I just wanna try the other. Most likely I will be so close to Onederland I will push it off and do them both after that goal. 🤷♀️4 -

The week has gone well, but I have really been
wanting to snack a lot. Have tried to keep busy
and remind myself of my goal, but dealing with cravings has been tough. More mostly cloudy weather yet again.
Go Team!

The only reason I went over is because there was a birthday in the house! And I’m not gonna hold myself back from having a piece of cake and a little bit of ice cream. It’s okay to enjoy these special times 😊👌🏻4 -

Comparing this Sunday to last, I think I did much better with my food choices today. But not so good with logging right after eating. Tomorrow, I’m going to wake up in the morning and log my day before I even get out of bed. Maybe that’ll help
