Welcome back!
Went ice skating today. Boy that makes my booty hurt! No I didn't fall. Although I am actually scared of this activity. Just getting to the rink takes major pep talking. I was talking to another lady and she also says for her to get to the rink is a goldilocks day for her when everything is perfect. For me it is conquering fear.
Thank you! I love ice skating, that sounds like so much fun!1 -

I missed a bunch of sleep checks. So far so good with the sleep this week. Eating is better at night as a result. Weight hasn’t changed much.
I am thinking about starting to eat breakfast. Do you eat eat breakfast? Why or why not?
I am not a big breakfast eater I never really have been ... I have my bulletproof coffee that fills me up until lunch time
What is bulletproof coffee? Sorry your ankle is not healing well.

Sharing my thoughts to add clarity to my decisions!
I m travelling in my rv, 'went home early October having lost another 10lb ... wore fitted clothes for the first time and people suddenly noticed my 80lb weight loss. Was a great feeling but majority of friends said .. brilliant but you don't need to lose more!
They planted a seed.
Octobers been frustrating ... exercising more than ever, eating right, but my weight loss is stalling. Demotivation has led to a 2 day mega binge
I really thought I'd conquered my binging. So I'm up 4lb today. ( I know its probably carb water) but the number on the scales rules my life!
And I recognise that RIGHT NOW is my big decision moment
At this exact point I know I have 2 choices
1. Carry on eating excessively ... see you back at 300lb in 18 months time! Like the previous 6 times I've lost loads of weight
Or
2. Get back on it. Overcome the food demons. Find the strength to lose that extra 21lb. Reach the weight I've dreamt of being. Implement my maintenance plan. Never get fat again!
Tune in tomorrow for my decision!!!
I hope you make decision number two. In the last 2 weeks you lost just over three pounds. Healthy weight loss is between 1 to 2 pounds a week. You are losing weight at a very healthy rate of loss. Look at your binge as a slip. One of the best things I have learned is I need to be able to forgive myself when I slip and binge. I know you can overcome your food demons.
Thank you Linda for your encouragement. I've put my slip up behind me. Managed to get back on track the last 2 days, just got to get rid of the 4lb I gained!
It won’t take too long as I am sure some of it is water weight.0 -

I love breakfast! Today I had steel cut oats with almonds, dates, flax seed meal, and soy milk. So delicious. I prep it the night before, soak the oats, almonds, dates in boiling water then warm it up in the morning and add the soy milk and flax. Super easy. The dates get kinda mushy and sweeten everything and the almonds are still crunchy but also swollen after being soaked all night.
Yesterday I went to a yoga class and it was so amazing. I love how yoga makes me feel strong and like my body can do things that I didn't know it could.
Sounds like a healthy breakfast. Maybe I will look at some recipes for overnight oats.

Pool was closed yesterday and is again today as they are doing maintenance. I might try some mini walks today depending on my back. I am definitely going to use my dumbbells and bands.
Thanks for answering the breakfast question. I played around with the diary the last few days with different breakfast options. Going to try again today and maybe try breakfast twice next week.

Struggling this week with a combination of travelling days in the rv, rainy weather and no swimming pools! On the bright side Monday was my personal best in walking steps!
Recording steps definately motivates me, thanks for all you do2 -
@lindamtuck2018, @fatfifties
I unpacked my scale to weigh-in before heading on our trip!! I won't take it with me so, I won't weigh myself till I get back, so keeping me on support is good. Also, Lis, I still want to compete in the 11 lbs. by 12/21. I just won't weigh back in till the middle of next month. I hope this doesn't cause any issues.

Just a quick update. My niece is still in bad shape. But we are coming together as a family and are helping to get her teenager placed with a trusted family member. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. We are now getting ready to take a trip hubs and I had planned for a long time to our place in NM. I still might have to make a side trip to help with my niece. Again, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Lee2
