@Gidgitgoescrazy those pickle snacks sound amazing! Hope you have enough fridge space left. How goes the plank progress post surgery?
@jugar can I please push my weigh in until Friday this week? Hockey is a day later than usual and based on my current scale results, I'm going to want that extra sweat and exertion to help keep week 3 in the green.
@MoonlitMuse being denied telework is so infuriating! I hear ya!1 -
Happy Monday from Massachusetts! It is HOT down here
but I got a ton of steps in already today. To make up for the miserable number yesterday... I got my dad down to the basement for 10 minutes on the exercise bike and some stretching (and resting!) while I practiced to entertain him. He is slipping more and more mentally, but he knows people, keeps cheerful, and we're trying to keep his muscles from disappearing. Not bad for 94.
@MoonlitMuse it is so good you are back, and I'm sorry to hear you have had so much hard stuff happening. Take your time, lots of deep breaths, and report your weight whenever it works for you.
@Gidgitgoescrazy that has to be the BEST fake excuse ever - had your eyebrows done. I have never heard of that kind of eyebrow job, so it must be serious stuff!! Enjoy all those pickles

I'm only able to load photos on the mobile website, never in the app on my phone. Such a pain.1 -

Funny you mention the heat @jugar as I am a bit nervous for the Vegas heat!
Tonight after work Brad and I went for a couples massage. The timing was good once I got there as I had a super stressful day at work. I went all wound up and came out feeling amazing.
It's super rainy here, and Calgary is under a local state of emergency for flood risk. Hope it doesn't get too bad!
I wanted to bike today but work got in the way. I'm trying to prioritize sleep as well so I am choosing that, especially after I got all mellow with the massage!5 -

I'm tired today - this (remote) meeting is rather dull which isn't helping. Hope everyone is OK!
My head is less full of gunk, though on the rare occasions I've been outside for a couple of minutes I regret it almost immediately. The event we were going to on Friday has been pushed to Saturday and I'm hoping to be back to 100% for that.
Our mattress and carpet have been delivered, but fitting won't be until next week. The shop owner is going on holiday, so if we hadn't taken delivery, the carpet/mattress would've been trapped in store. We have stuff everywhere; I'm constantly standing on stuff that shouldn't be there, or wanting to use a surface only for items that don't belong to be in the way. It's driving me bonkers, but hopefully won't be for too much longer.
I stayed within my calorie goal yesterday and I did weigh in this morning. I'm on track to keep today under my goal as well. I think it'll take a few days to get back into the swing of it - Saturday's event is BBC Gardener's World Live but also BBC Good Food Live, so I will be allowing more calories that day - but starting well, considering I'm ill!6 -
Was up early this morning so I hopped on the Peloton before my 5:30 alarm was set to go off... day is off on a much better foot!
There is SO much rain here... good thing the +15 network in Calgary between downtown buildings will allow me to walk inside at lunch.

Tuesday Weigh-In
PW: 255.5
CW: 260.1
Not pretty but not surprising - I ended up staying an extra day at my Mom's, which was a really nice surprise for her, but also meant more "home" eating mode. The party was really fun. I'm confident this 4+ lb gain isn't real weight, just bloat and water. I have a good plan for meals the rest of the week. Only hiccup is a cookout at my cousin's house on Saturday, but typically grilled food options aren't too over the top for calories. We'll see.
Hoping to get back to regular exercise and yoga but it is HOT out there!6 -
What a day!
We had the most perfect weather possible today, so I got a great dose of vitamin D, had a potluck with some old friends from my home town, a walk with my dad, and some heavy duty cleaning of his back deck. The potluck had enough food for us all to have survived a week, but at least there were plenty of healthy options - and I stayed away from the dessert except for a big bowl of fresh fruit.
Heading home tomorrow - it will be good to get back to my big garden and my own practice and exercise room.
Quick update - weigh-ins through Wednesday:

Evening all!
The rain continues. I met Brad for a quick walk at lunch, and as soon as we got home I hopped on the bike again. I am trying to ride ahead a bit on my program since we're away so much next week. I felt good - 75 minutes total between my morning session and my evening session. Just having a quick bite after making lunches and then I'm off to bed... trying to get a minimum of 7 hours sleep!5 -
Oooooh! I just noticed that @YinxFed and @CarolAnnM2 are both up to 3 weeks in a row with a loss. You could make it to all 4 weeks in the green this month! Keep up the wonderful work
As more of you hit that magic 3rd week, we could be heading for a good number with a full green month. Yess! 7 -
@eggfreak I don't work at all in the summer. Our pay is spread out over 12 months and I get a little bonus at the end of the month. I am ready for a break!
I am getting my food back in order but I have nothing left for workouts. My littlest guinea pig is not doing well. He has developed some teeth problems which he shouldn't have at only 8 months old. He has very good care so it's not caused by improper care. I have a vet visit this Thursday but I don't think the outlook is good by any means. He is hungry and he can eat pellets on his own. I can feed him diced cucumber but I have to get them on his back teeth. The middle kiddo and I have been particularly teary-eyed lately. I was definitely looking for a distraction and was able to finish another course for my masters degree. I just have one more course to finish by the end of July to be on track. The assignment definitely lends itself to my strengths so maybe I can finish quickly.
My plan is to finish the work week and do well with food. I will have a day and a half of training next week, then I am totally done. I want to get my workouts back on track this weekend.8 -
@jugar I do love a fruit salad; shame they're quite expensive to buy/make!
@ashleycarole86 sleep is hard. I think it's a good thing to prioritise though, especially when you're so good at getting your exercise in.
@conleywoods fingers crossed for your guinea pig - hopefully the vet can help.
I went a little over my calorie goal yesterday because my lunch was leftovers from the night before and more calorific than I might otherwise go for - I have yesterday's tea for lunch today, too, so will watch that. I didn't binge, and I am steadily feeling better. I'm losing track of the days of the week, but I think it's Wednesday and am hopeful I'll be 'OK' from Friday!5 -
Full moon? =yesterday was insane, work chaos and major juggling and pill management at home - mum started a 2 week palliative radiation treatment to try to reduce the lesion affecting her sciatic nerve. If I weren't moving so much - garden watering, up & down the stairs, etc...I would not be keeping the crap I've been eating barely in check. Now the wonders that would happen if I DID keep the food choices in check. I'm going to make a renewed effort - next time I dive for freezer - grab my garden scissors and go do some deadheading - in fact I'll hang a pair on the door of the freezer - or a photo!
@DD265 have a great time w/ the bbc gardener's world live - that program has been a huge balm for me this past year (all the seasons, front to back, back to front). firsts for me in my garden this year are a Meyer Lemon tree (about 6 fruits growing well), a fig tree and also Chayote squash.6 -

I worked way to hard this week to have maintained/slight gain. I am officially frustrated.6
