@JbeanR0212 Aw hon, you aren't weighing us down. You can share as much or as little as you are comfortable with, this is a safe space (or I try to make it one anyway). We're here to support each other, it's all part of the process. I think you know by now that I care more about the all around well being of the team than whether anyone loses big numbers so that we are in first place.1

Goals/Day/Comments: Been really tempted to roll my weight forward but my intentions for doing so would’ve resulted in the first step off of the accountability train. I know me and I the best thing I can do is remain present with a center around grace.

@Daffygirl88 I know and I adore you. Several people reached out yesterday to check in & I felt overwhelmed. Always used to being the strong caretaker never the opposite. Guess I was surprised at how obvious my state was (I thought I was doing pretty well) because none of them know about what’s going on. And I don’t know, the anger I’m trying not to direct within myself or towards anyone else ignited into pure frustration. Big hugs to ya‘.2 -

Tuesdays are my biggest workout day, I spin in the morning, walk with a friend at lunch, and do a circuit training class after work. Come Wednesday I am STARVING! Luckily it's my one day a week in the office and I don't have access to my kitchen. I pack a bunch of healthy snacks and head to work. Normally that is sufficient but today I was surprised with birthday brownies, which would've been rude to refuse (honestly I don't care for brownies. Luckily they had chocolate chips). And THEN I had a grandson. Enough said there.
I can never say no to brownies (I love them), you deserved the treats! Not everyday someone has a birthday and a grandson comes along too2 -

Regarding you message to me……… ❤️ I don’t know how to respond. Working back through the phases of grief and currently blending in is the one I like the least (anger). But hey it fueled todays work outs ⛽️🥊. I’ve lived my life as a hard @$$ Ms. Congenial (a title I‘ve literally held before 😉) but I feel things very deeply and am by nature incredibly sensitive. I’m very much a 🧜♀️ pisces 🐶dog (western/eastern zodiac) and darn near the epitome of both, always on a rollercoaster 🎢. That said, I’ve had a hard knocks life and I’ll get through this too. I appreciate your concern and apologize for causing you any. I try really hard to avoid having a pessimistic outlook or mucking up the waters by mixing that in but I‘ve obviously failed here. I may have gotten too comfortable with this group. Sorry for weighing ya’ll down. I’ll make a conscious effort to avoid oversharing.
Sorry you are going through a tough time, if you ever feel like unloading feel free to msg me. I've had a few hard times and I just try to take each day as it comes, I'm a bit of a glass half empty kind of person but learning to change that mindset
Sending you a virtual hug and hope things start to feel better1 -

Not bad for a birthday/grandson splurge. 😁 I did hate to see the #3 go away, but if I did it once I can do it again.

@Naija82 I have to ask...what is your calorie target? Cuz I look at this and think "How in the hell can you be over in calories after having walked/ran 12 miles? And with only a 29 minute eating window!!" 😯🤷♀️

My daily target is set at 1500, don't always eat more If I exercise unless I'm really hungry and usually down some nuts (the nuts add up). So base my over off of that target. It was more than 29 mins eating window, I don't set my eating to always be within the 24 period e.g fasted for 23hrs 31 yesterday but my eating window was 1hr 38mins but I can put a lot of food away!!
Well figuring if I set my target a little higher on my run days.
