I am happy with my weight this week even though it is a gain. I spent close to 2 weeks traveling and vacationing this month. Previously I would be up a lot. I made a conscious effort to not over eat and to have an active vacation. I swam more than 1 km through a river and caves in Mexico and went for a 5km walk in Jasper Alberta on the ice in a canyon.
I will be home the month of March, and the weather should improve making activity a little easier.
Then away again to Virginia in April.

The scale went in the wrong direction 😕 this week. We had a celebratory Italian dinner yester evening - my daughter got student of the month @ school (Yay!) - probably went overboard with the warm brioche and garlic dipping oil.

Shifts at work have increased my responsibilities and workload. I'll have to figure out how to keep/maintain my health habits (logging, meals, lunch walks) without getting overwhelmed and letting work take priority.

Hello All, thank you for welcoming me to Shape Shifters! I am excited to be here.

I'm a 47 yo female in MI. I have struggled with weight my entire life. I have also struggled with depression and anxiety for most of my adult life. Living in the COVID era has intensified the depression.

I first joined MFP in 2012 to get healthier. I was working a job that had me on my feet 10 hours a day with an hour lunch and access to a free gym I utilized Monday through Friday. I had success with this setup and had my eating, anxiety, and depression under control. In 2017 I took a promotion that had me sitting at a desk for 75% of my day but I managed to maintain my previous success. I was able to join a gym and my living situation made it easy for me to prioritize my health and fitness.

Fast-forwarding to today, I have gained back everything I lost and then some. I am very near going back on medication for depression and anxiety which I do not want to do. The meds are not for me, I find some of the side effects are worse than my issues, so I prefer to manage through exercise. I joined Noom for a bit but I did not find it helpful. I already knew much of the information I was being "taught." Needing a more social environment since I have little support for my goals in my current living situation, I have returned to MFP in search of a community I can lean on when times are tough.

I have started running again, which has been tough, I have been battling breathing issues unrelated to COVID since the start of my training in January. But I keep pushing through. If anyone here is a runner and uses a Garmin I would love to have more connections. Just look for MJ Reeves

I have no friends left from my original time spent here. I would love to add some friends. I am a bit introverted at times so I may not always respond quickly, please do take that personal.

I look forward to our journies together!

MJ
