@cybernurse251 Great loss !!
@Katmary71 Good Luck on your Meatless Mondays. Wow, 105F is too much. I hope you stay hydrated Asher's picture is so funny.
Enjoy your weekend
@trooworld yikes heatwave's horrible. It's nice that you get to work from home, I hope you stay hydrated. We had to deal with that back in July. Here on the east coast, we are in hurricane season.
@TeresaW1020 Yay for fall !! Good luck with your weigh-in.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Great loss !! Wow, $34 for a pizza. That's a lot. Prices have been skyrocketing all over the US. Thanks for the card, I enjoyed it::). Potato quesadillas sound yummy. Will try it.
@happysquidmuffin Your morning walk sounds so refreshing.
@FushiaKat Great loss !! Happy 1 year anniversary
Sands castle room sounds fun.
@Cornanda Glad to hear that things are getting better at work.
@Jactop Wow that's an amazing step count, I'm sure the results from all that walking will show up soon.
@davidji82 Great loss !!
@GabiV125 It's only when we take a break we realize how stressed we were. Glad to know that you are enjoying your vacation.
Happy Friday Everyone
Work has been crazy with one of my colleagues leaving. I haven't logged my calorie intake but making sure to walk as much as possible. My smartwatch alerts me to walk every hour so it's been helpful, otherwise, I would be glued to my chair.

Super busy here at work as I catch up on old stuff and try to get all next week's things accomplished. Going to Detroit for a conference next Tuesday thru Thursday and I'm looking forward to hopping the border Wednesday to see an old friend in Windsor. She found a vegan restaurant right in the heart of the city, so I will try to control myself! I just wanted to pop in and get caught up on the reading and I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

This is the Blank Room I started with.
This is what I have done so far, you can see there's still lots to be done, and I'm tossing around some ideas.
There's a lot of stress involved in the contest building since I've won first place for every contest the last 4 years. It's most difficult to come up with new stuff. I'm hoping to be finished by this weekend. The new computer is very fast and pretty amazing.

Wow what a week! I know ups and downs happen and I knew this week I would be up a bit. I haven’t been logging as diligently and opted for some more unhealthy things. But a new week is on the horizon and im ready to make the most of it! Last night I took my parents to a Van Gogh immersion experience and it was really neat. They project his paintings across the walls and floors. If I was able to post a picture I would (I can’t figure it out)! This weekend my goal is to stay active and get veggies in each meal. Have a great weekend all!

I have been back to work (teacher) this week to set up my classroom and attend professional development meetings. Like a couple of you, I am experiencing supervisor changes - new principal in my building AND new superintendent for the district. The district is also needing to make some cuts, and the budget is driving most decisions. The principal is new to the role, but I like him, and I think it will be a good year in spite of all the challenges.5

@GabiV125 I'm sorry about your gallbladder issues but that is nice that you get to spend time with your daughters visiting family. I'm sorry, I'm no help with the app issues. I hope someone chimes in for you.
@Divya365 Yeah, I am much more of a fall or winter person lol. It is nice that I get to work from home! Sometimes I struggle to find things to do that I FEEL like doing but I manage to keep busy enough. Hurricane season doesn't sound fun! Have you ever been in an actual hurricane or just threats of one? I get those notifications from my smartwatch but I usually ignore them, I need to get better about getting up and walking. You are inspiring me! That's a great average of steps.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you so much for my card, I love it (as usual), you made the perfect one for me!!! I appreciate it so much. I hope you have fun at your conference, is it for work or pleasure?
@FushiaKat Wow, that looks like a lot of work! Well done. That's good the new computer is very fast, that probably helps out a bit.
@leti126 I went to a Van Gogh immersion experience last year, it was awesome! I came home so inspired. You have great goals for the weekend. Good luck and have a great weekend!
@bgame4 I'm sorry you are experiencing shifts at work, too. I hope that you aren't affected by the cuts.
Hi all. I lost 0.4 lbs this week, the scale is heading in the right direction! It's really muggy here but has cooled down slightly. I'm going to my WW meeting this morning so I am likely to start tracking again today, which will be good for me. I'm meeting a former colleague this morning for coffee. That will be nice. Have a wonderful weekend!

Oof, it's been a rough week or so. We had a Line of Duty Death in the county where I work (I work at a PD and this was a deputy at the sheriff's office) so it hit really close to home. My officers knew the deputy. We moved my stepson into his dorm room for the first time. I raced home Wednesday morning so I could go with. I was up for 24 hours straight but it was well worth it!
I'll get my step count together and pop in later!6 -
Good morning Team! Just a quick pop in since I've got a really busy day and won't have time later. We have a church potluck later and I need to run to Sams after church for supplies. It's our first trivia game night and I'm really looking forward to it. Yesterday, I did a killer leg workout and hurt my poor booty so bad, I can hardly sit down. No pain no gain as they say! 6

@FushiaKat @davidji82 @cybernurse251 Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard, teammates! Well done!
@askewcr Great weigh-in!
@bethanie0825 How terrible. I'm so sorry. It sounds like a busy time, too. That's good you maintained through all of this.
@TeresaW1020 Have a fun time at the potluck! No pain no gain indeed!
Hi all. I am having a pretty good weekend. I started tracking again yesterday. I made a healthy breakfast decision at a cafe yesterday which I consider a big win. Today, I am meeting a friend for coffee. Have a great Sunday!

Hi everyone. Quick check in before work. I’m still not down to the weight I was a few weeks ago but at least it started moving again. I started lifting weights 3x per week and my body is rebelling lol. My cortisol levels are probably at an all time high but I’m determined to hang in there and see what happens. I also found it interesting that I’ve been having a hard time staying in ketosis while eating the same way I was prior to lifting weights. This morning some of the inflammation and accompanying joint pain eased up and my ketones are back up again. Weird.
I feel like I’m the only person who can stick to a ketogenic diet, work out 5 days a week (on a program set up by a personal trainer), get in 10k steps per day and still gain weight. It’s very discouraging. Im trying to stay focused on my birthday in mid October and see where I’ll be if I keep doing what I’m doing now.
@Katmary71 and @trooworld your posts about cleaning your plate made me laugh. One time my mother made mashed potatoes and mixed in cooked peas 🤮🤢 and I had to sit there until I finished it. It wasn’t even good hot but cold and lumpy was horrid. I’m still scared.1 -
Teacher: I didn't call you stupid. I asked you to spell "orange". But when you asked the fruit or the color, it caught me off guard.6

@FushiaKat Holy cow that room is awesome! Glad the new computer is amazing, they're a pain to learn but fun once you get used to it.
@leti26 I've been wanting to go to the Van Gogh immersion, glad to hear it was worthwhile! Hope you're rocking the veggies and being active.
@bgame Glad the year is looking good so far, I know the start of the year can be pretty crazy.
@trooworld Way to go on the loss!
@bethanie0825 I'm so sorry to hear about the death. Sounds like a crazy day getting your stepson moved in but I'm sure he appreciated your help!
@TeresaW1020 Good luck with the trivia game, ouch on the rear end! That's always a mixed thing, you know you challenged yourself if you're sore but no one likes pain!
@davidji82 @FushiaKat @cybernurse251 Way to go gang!
@Jactop Hm it sounds like ketones are going up with less inflammation so the two are linked or at least are right now, that is pretty fascinating and definitely worth looking into. Chances are if you did weights every day on different body parts they wouldn't go up as it sounds like you definitely need the break for recovery. I know it's common for weight to stall or go up when starting new physical activities so it could have to do with inflammation and recovery. I maintain around 1500 working out almost 2 hours a day, it's so frustrating but I definitely think my health issues are the reason why as I have crazy inflammation. My weight didn't start going down until I was taking nutrition supplements and got my vitamin deficiencies improved and had my pain levels down with the anti depressant and I was definitely eating to lose according to MFP.
Hi team, new week to conquer! I had a great weekend, Bill and I went to dinner for his birthday then went to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard and while we were sitting at the tables the bar next door had a really good band playing so we walked over to check them out and hung out for awhile. Saturday I took him to the food bank farm with me then we watched movies (The Black Phone WAS good, thank you @vegan4lyfe2012 for the review!) and made Skinnytaste's Chicken Caprese skillet https://www.skinnytaste.com/caprese-chicken-skillet/ with herbs and tomatoes from the farm and my yard. Sunday we went to a huge flea market and scored some great produce for next to nothing then came back and I made him watch Fried Green Tomatoes as he'd never seen it (love that movie). I took the weekend off working out but with the farm and walking yesterday I was still pretty active. Did my workout today, it's hard to get started after 2 days but felt great. Have a wonderful Monday!2 -
⚖️ Weigh Day ⚖️
Previous Weight - 195.4
Current Weight - 196.2
@vegan4lyfe2012 - I so loved my card!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It was lovely!
@leti126 - I feel like we’re in the same boat!! I didn’t log diligently and made several bad choices that I wouldn’t have, had I kept up with the logging. Gain was not a surprise but I’ve got my head in the game now! 😉
Super busy time at home… getting home was a chore, barely made it in time to take my son out for his birthday dinner. I had already taken a full rest day on Tuesday which spilled into the next day and ultimately set the tone for the next 4 days! 🤦🏽♀️
Thursday was laundry and resting up from very little sleep the two days before getting home. Friday we had to go get a tire fixed and i took the opportunity while in town to get my hair trimmed! Helped the hubs change out the shocks so our ride was smoother this round. Saturday was tattoos with my kids! Sunday I was torn between going to my new church or surprising my mom at hers, ended up going to her house and she wasn't even going to church, we visited but it wasn't the best visit we have ever had. 😔 Her surgery was postponed bc her doctor is having heart issues. Came home and cleaned out the truck, shampooed the carpets, and got it all ready for us to leave out early this morning. We didn’t even make it to where we were loading and his truck messed up. 10 hours later the part just got to us, now he still has to put it on and hope it fixes it. We are still in Oklahoma and scheduled to deliver 8 am in Northern Montana on Wednesday! 😖
I’ve had a headache today from staying up until 2am packing and reorganizing everything and then waking up at 5 to leave. Hopefully it eases up and I can get in a better workout, I brought some dumbbells along.
I didn’t log any food all week, that really led to eating so many things I wouldn’t have had I stayed consistent. I also didn’t drink very much water at all while home and was drinking soda again which I gave up a while ago. The weight gain was no surprise but I’m back focused and ready to work for a loss come next Monday!!! Checking in here really helps me be better! I never should have taken that rest day! 😜
Have a great week everyone! And congrats to the leaders this week!! Y’all did great!

Happy Monday Everyone!
@vegan4lyfe2012 It's nice that you get to meet your friend this Wednesday. Hope you both have a blast.
@FushiaKat Wow, that sandcastle room looks awesome. I can't wait to see the finished one. Do share the pics. All the best for the competition. Hope you win this year as well.
@bgame4 Glad to know that your new boss is good. Hope you are not affected by the budget cuts.
@trooworld Nice loss !! I have never been in a hurricane before but have felt the effects of hurricanes. In 2017 we lost power for 4 days as a result of Hurricane Irma and It was chaotic. I agree, making healthy food choices is such a big win. Hope you had a good time with your friend yesterday.
@askewcr nice loss !!
@bethanie0825 Oh that's horrible. Sorry to hear that. You must be so tired with the packing and all, It's awesome that you could maintain your weight during such stressful times.
@TeresaW1020 Hope you had a good potluck and a fun trivia game night. I feel you, pain after the exercise is such a hassle, it's so hard to move the body afterward. My thighs and back of my shin are hurting like crazy with all the walking I have been doing for the past week. Hope you rested over the weekend.
@FushiaKat @davidji82 @cybernurse251 Congrats on being on the leaderboard !!
@Jactop That's an awesome step count. Ohh it can be so frustrating, but don't lose hope. Hopefully, you will be able to see the results soon.
@Katmary71 I love going to flea markets, I always bring back some interesting pots and use them as planters for my houseplants. I never watched Fried Green Tomatoes as well. Nowadays we watch mostly Marvel movies, thanks to my son.
Had to work on Saturday. Our IT Dept. didn't communicate properly with us so I had to do something ASAP, by the time I finished it was already afternoon. We have been getting lots of rain for the past few days and on Saturday while driving I noticed that it was raining quite heavily on half of the streets and the other half was dry. That was pretty interesting. The rest of the weekend was pretty much ok.
Step Count Saturday - 6527 and for Sunday - 10175 so my average for his week came down to 8905. For this week my goal is to log my calorie intake and walk an average of 10K steps.

@Jactop Congrats on the loss! That's a lot to do at once, I commend you for your efforts. Hopefully your body is just getting used to lifting weights still and you will see a big whoosh. Oh gosh, I would have refused to eat that too lol. I'm sure it was 100% worse once it was cold.
@19shmoo69 Good morning Darren! Thanks for the haha!
@Katmary71 Thank you! I'll have to check out the Black Phone. You know I love some horror movies! Sounds like you've been busy.
@shaunarlr83 I'm glad you had a good visit with your mom. Wow, that sounds kind of fun, driving to all those locations! Sorry about your headache, I've got one this morning too.
@Divya365 Thank you! Wow, that would totally stink to lose power for 4 days. Do you have a generator? I don't know what I would do if that happened to me lol. Thank you, I did have a good time. It sounds like the day went by quickly at work on Saturdays, that's the best kind of day! Great step count.
Hi all. I've been experiencing a bout of depression. I didn't track yesterday but will go back and track now. Have a good day.
