    @HASWLRS and @brandi_84 I don't know what to say to help you ladies other than to remind you that 1. We've all been there at some point and 2. That you know we're here to help, to listen, offer suggestions, commiserate, pick you up when you fall. I know you both feel like dropping out but I hope that you don't, I would miss you terribly. 💕

    Comments: Had a wonderful massage but then stopped at a restaurant on the way home and ate partially off-plan. I was up .4 on the scale, so I’m going to tighten up. I am still not back down to my pre-birthday weight. I have a history of letting slip ups derail me for way too long, so I am mindful of the importance of getting right back on track.

    Not for nothing..you were probably super dehydrated afterwards !! I might recommend drinking water before and a ton after your next one! That way you can gauge your hungry-level a little more accurately…and then again, I may be way off-base here!

    This one hit home a little bit because my sister-in-law passed out after our massage a few years ago and it scared me half to death!!(reflecting back I think that may be why started the process of training myself to stop hating water!!)

    @Krysless2 ❤️ Thank you so much for your comment! I am usually wiped out afterward, and I need to remember to drink water before and after and to pack a banana or a cooked potato or sweet potato to have right after. I appreciate knowing about your SIL’s experience!

    I was so close to staying under! I was only over by 125 calories! I’m making it my mission today to get one more green!

    @Krysless2 thank you for that post! I really needed to read that because this week I was struggling too! My goal for this next week is to post every single day about something. So that when I do struggle again, I’m in the habit of posting. And so that way if someone else is struggling, we can get through it together!

    Comments: I’m finally working on my taxes, so I’m a bit stressed 😆 But I did better with moving and eating yesterday. I also found myself cleaning, which means tax prep is the ultimate avoidance! 😂

    I really don't know what is going on. I cannot keep consistent with wanting to be healthy. I give up so easily.
    I feel so crappy, I don't want to leave the house.
    Anniversary today and easter weekend. I must start something new on Monday.

    It’s mental game. Everyday make little changes and you will see the results. I admit I don’t eat the healthiest and there some days where I can’t or don’t want to exercise, but keep moving on. If I want a cake, I make fit in my calorie/macro intake. It’s all about balance. Like Krysless2 said I weigh everyday. Might it be unhealthy that’s fine. But guess what it holds me accountable and I know what foods I ate too much of or makes me gain weight. I started drinking a gallon of water daily and the weight has come off easier. So do what’s important for you. You want that cake, eat a tiny slice. Don’t deprive yourself, then is a journey not torture. If we deprive ourselves of what we like then our minds and body quits. You got this! I’m rooting for you ladies!!!

    Thank you all for your support and encouragement and advice. I am listening to what you are saying and I am making some changes.
    1. I need more water
    2. I need to log everything and stop hiding from the scale.

    I never been so happy to lose .4 lbs! I for sure thought I gained like 5lbs minimum. I haven’t tracked for more than a week. I exercised less this week and ate less veggies this week. I am very relieved at .4 lbs 😂 I need to do better!

    Hey team... winding down from my never ending week. Only just shy of 99 hours in in 7 work days since coming back from being home sick for 2 week .. of which I worked from home over 40+ hrs the second week. Only Easter off and I cooked and cleaned most of the morning - after prepping for 3+ hrs in the evening after working all day Sat.
    Hoping next week brings a more mentally sound schedule and allows me to start getting back on track and back on the exercise routine. Its been kind of shower sleep work shove food in somewhere quick about 8 or 9pm while at work and repeat. Have a feeling my weigh-in will not be friendly this week. Definitely not healthy nor realistic way to live/ exist for the long run. Trying to keep up with the posts but just haven't had the time to give any input. Hoping you all have a great week!

    @susanshaughnessy80 TWO naps! I would kill for ONE! :D Hope the soup turns out good, I'm leary of any recipe my husband finds. ;)
