      Sorry I am definitely a quiet teammate lately.

      I can't catch a break... even in my busiest season I ended up in 2 wk manetory out sick but guess who worked from home and stayed in her little cubicle at home. Feel like I am on display in my boxed in work setting. Just gotta get through this week at home and hopefully can get through the next couple weeks at work and then I can rest. Haha.. thinking most that actually get sick take that time at that point but no, I coughed and sneezed and worked through all that and my my no voice for a week plus stage. I am beyond exhausted at night but I am trying to hang in.

      At the mercy of my carb lovin, easy meal fixing hubs so diet isnt great when I do eat... which isnt often. It hasnt helped with weight loss.. and I can tell carbs are all around from my lack of loss. Who gets sick and gains? Well me.. but since I have been a daily weigher I know that carbs jump my weight and when they go so can the weight.

      I hit my 6 month mark while confined to my box so had to dig up a way to measure. I have the basics but the hip or waist specific compares will have to wait until I can dive into my numbers. 6 months in and down 31.8 lbs (well before my carb increase!) And down 28 inches overall. I will take it and keep going. While I would have liked that 10lb drop that so many talk about when they get sick, I guess I dont have to worry about the big bounce back.

      And to end this book tonight my weigh in...

      @sandkp Sorry you've been sick, but definitely take care of yourself, eat the carby comfort food, and get better. 🤒🤧 You can resume your eating plan when you've recovered. And GREAT progress so far!! You should be very proud of yourself! 🎉🎊👏

      I haven’t exercised in two weeks. Just been resting and doing lots of schoolwork. I think today I’m going for a walk later tonight. I do not feel like going to gym or working out since I work tomorrow.

      I broke an 85-day Tracking streak, but I’m starting over today💯 Up 3.6 pounds, but my birthday celebration days are officially over and I’ll be taking those extra pounds off and then some during April.

      Something tells me that we aren't going to win week 1. 😂. But, we've got a great shot at week 2!! 😁. So okay y'all, let's shake this off (literally and figuratively) and "knock it out the park!" as they say. 👍

      Well I still haven’t exercised in the past two weeks. I just been resting. Lately it has been exhausting. I will kick butt today and push play. But I have lost weight this week and I think it is due to drinking my water. I have been drinking a gallon of water and never have I felt bloated and even losing weight with my aunt flow which I always gain. Huge bonus. Drink your water!!!!

      I’m almost out of 230s, I know it’s not big deal lol but it’s been 3 years since I have been 220s. Little goals. I’m almost at my mini goal of 225 lbs. I can feel it. I still can’t believe I dropped 3.2 lbs this week! 🥳

      slow and steady. I've begun to date again. Is it me or does dating esp dinner dates with (drinks, appetizers, and dessert) cause an upturn in your weight)? LOL! I need to gain control and re-prioritize. Feeling slightly better going into this week, so onwards, onwards!
