    @pkg1998 Thank you for reaching out to me, I really appreciate you.

    I haven't checked in since... well it has been a while. I am starting again today, logging my food, and hope to join you all on this journey on Sep 1st.

    In the meantime I will pop in and either lurk or actually contribute! :D

    WELCOME BACK! So excited you are feeling up to joining us again!

    Calories: under
    Exercise: elliptical 25 mins, yoga 15 mins

    I’m trying yoga for the first time to see if it will help my aging joints. The only thing I’ve gotten out of it so far is the knowledge that I have no balance 😂. Hopefully that will improve as I continue the practice.

    Getting back into the swing of things! Today I made a tuna/egg salad with light mayo, and lots of dill pickles, celery & green onion. Chilled...
    Instead of making a sandwich, I trimmed many (8) baby bell peppers, and filled each half.
    Made for a filling, yummy & crunchy lunch today. Close to about 320 calories <3

    What did you have for lunch today?

    I've been doing yoga for about a year. I can relate to finding one has no balance! lol
    When I started, I had no balance and poor flexibility. I've still got a way to go for balance (struggling to hold the tree pose), but my flexibility has improved tremendously, not to mention general tone (although that's also due to resistance training as well).
    The best way to help your joints is to strengthen the muscles/stretch the tendons around them, and yoga will help you do that.

    Moving furniture can be quite a workout! I hope things go smoothly for you as you start your new year.

    I try to meal prep on the weekend so weekday mornings are easy. I’m having Fiesta taco salad this week. Easy chicken with salsa in the instant pot then shredded. Been eating it on lettuce with some chipotle dressing.

    Sorry guys had a rough couple of days. I tend to let emotions control me too often and I had a disagreement with my husband which makes me want to EAT and be LAZY. I think we’ve resolved it and I’m trying to get back on track. I really need to find a better way to deal with emotions.

    Not what I wanted for this week but that’s what a couple of bad days will do. Positive for this week was my weekend when I did not gain so I’m going to take that as a win and build on it this week.

    @pkg1998 We all have this situation so don't beat yourself down too much. I'm 1000 % opposite my husband and if I get upset I can carry that little monster for weeks reminding him what he did or said a decade or so ago. I tend to eat a lot of white hard dough Jamaican bread that pack the pounds on up to 1 loaf per day. What I found out having a hobby can help. I'm a musician- plays keyboard, drums, guitar in addition I sing and love listening to music (I taught myself to play all instrument). When I'm upset my husband will dive to go put my favorite music on then I'll start singing and dancing. It's all a mindset. I have to tell myself I'm doing this for me when I want to scream my head off. We are up against a vicious cycle with weight. When we feel down, angry, depresed etc, we tend to want to eat out way out of it, we then put the weight on then feel unhappy with how we look and feel and there we go again. We love you don't give up, don't stop pushing, we are here for each other, take it on day at a time. Have a great day!

    It wasn't the minutes so much as the steps/distance. 😂
    On Wednesday, I took a 10-mile walk, took me over 3 hours. 😣
