@Antiopelle Sorry to hear about the kitty. Thoughts and prayers. I've heard of USA people going to other places like Greece and actually losing weight, because the foods over there are NOT processed, and have higher nutrients. Not saying that will be the case for you. But, its a good reminder as to how nutrient POOR the food is in the USA, and how processed the foods are as well. Even the flours we bake with, the bread we buy, versus something home made. I've actually been buying the bakery bread for my toast - I'm trusting less in the commercially made items from BIG BOX BRANDS.
@zenobia9777 Yeah, those chair workouts are NO JOKE. I have done some and these 2 channels have killer workouts (IMO). Good for you in getting something in. Oh, for racing thoughts... you mentioned it... I was at a bible study a year or so ago and one lady said that when she wakes up in the middle of the night she presumes its the devil trying to rob her of her peace (because God wouldn't wake you up?) and so she, when she wakes in the middle of the night with racing thoughts starts to list everything she is grateful for. Thank you lord for my warm bed, for my house, for me having a nice day yesterday....and keeps listing her gratitudes.... I've done this now also and before long I'm back to sleep.

If work gets un-busy, I'll be back to post.
Yesterday didn't go extremely well for me. Had a lot of "SUGAR" in the afternoon. Not proud of it, but life goes on. I did have a 100% on plan morning and evening. And the scale didn't change at all this morning. SO, that's a win. Even if it had, it would have only been water weight.1 -
So sorry to hear about kitty, Antiopelle. That level of stress would make me lose or at least not gain weight either. 15+ - wow!!!
@SherryRueter @zenobia9777. You/We’re back at it. Reminds me of a Yiddish (I think) saying or joke - something like “Wanna make God laugh, tell Him your plans”. 😀
Sunday, I vowed to get up two hours earlier to eat breakfast, chill, and then workout before the eldercare starts. Yesterday, hubs forgot to tell me the electricians were coming so they spent all day in my gym, and very early this morning around 4am, my camera caught my mom walking around the house (post stroke dementia) - so with a start i jumped out of bed and try to get her back to sleep.
Just gotta laugh.
I like that strategy @SherryRueter. There’s never a night I don’t wake with racing thoughts. I heard about an app called Ten Percent Happier I think - supposed to help with anxious thoughts.1 -

@zenobia9777, glad to hear you had a great time in Greece. Will you be able to post some pictures?
@SherryRueter, how did your Buckeyes turn out? I looked them up to find out what they are, they look good.
@k8richly, sorry to hear about your father's condition, I hope you're able to spend as much time as possible with him.
@Antiopelle, sorry to hear about your kitty, I'm sure your neighbor will take good care of him while you're gone. Try not to stress too much and have a great time in Greece. It's always nice to lose a little before vacation, LOL.
@CeeBeeSlim, taking care of your mom must be a big stressor - it's good make plans to chill in the morning before your day gets hectic.
I've been increasing my cardio this week and it feels good. I never really want to go, but once I'm at the gym and on a machine, I start to feel great physically and mentally.
1 -
@SherryRueter thanks for the links. That is so thoughtful!
And I absolutely agree that gratitude is huge for creating mental peace.
As far as food in the Mediterranean, one of our guides told us that her mother would be totally shocked if she bought produce that was not in season.
@CeeBeeSlim, oh my gosh that is so true about plans! Great reminder. You have a lot going on.
@SparkSpringtime69 I think the cardio has made me feel good, even though I haven't been able to do it this week because of my toe. You just have an overall sense of well-being. And it lasts even if you have a bad week.
Sometimes I have trouble getting my pictures to post, but I will try. The weather was phenomenal.
Family issues are making me stressed, but I decided to fight that this morning by having a very healthy, generous breakfast of yogurt, fruit and nuts. The leftover pasta was not so great, but I need to start the day feeling satisfied.
I did not do so well yesterday and I have to get back on track. At least I did sleep better last night.

@sparkSpringtime69 - OMG binge worthy, the buckeyes were/are delish. We made way to many! I substituted 1/2 of the flour for chocolate protein powder. and I also used only 1 cup of Peanut butter.
made them into small balls (maybe a tsp each). SOOO yummy! I could eat a million at a time.

Hi ladies,
I've been fairly MIA with my move pending - it's been a bit crazy. I'll be back into more of a routine in December (last of the move happening the long thanksgiving weekend). Weight hasn't been great with the inconsistent exercise and even more inconsistent eating, but at least not gaining LOL.1 -
@zenobia9777 beautiful pictures. Just beautiful0

@zenobia9777 Thanks for posting such great photos! Would love to travel to Greece. I had a friend from Mykonos who always offered his home to stay in. Same with a friend from Egypt - two of my ultimate places to visit. Sorry to hear about your family stresses. Hope they resolve soon. I’m sure a lot of understand can relate!
@SherryRueter - you have my mouth watering!
@HoneyBadger302 - moving is one of the all time biggest stressors. Once things settle, you’ll be back into it!
@SparkSpringtime69. yes the caretaking is a big stressor - mostly due to the unpredictability of my days - hard if you’re Type A, but I’m lucky to be able to do it.0 -
@SherryRueter thanks. Congrats on meeting your 60 miles!
@HoneyBadger302 you will be all lined up for a new start for the new year.
I did just okay on food yesterday, but didn't exercise.
The doctor had my big toe x-rayed to see if there is any significant damage. I should know something by the end of today.
I'm planning on doing some deep house cleaning today. We really need to have woodwork painted before Thanksgiving, but I don't think that's happening unless I get a lot more motivated. It's not really a big job --- more about planning to do a section at a time.
So what I should do today is chair yoga before anything else -- but we will see. It's all about making up your mind.
Trying to start every day with a list and get as many things done as possible, to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

@zenobia9777 Did you make time for Chair Yoga? I write lists but tend to ignore them.
@CeeBeeSlim Just saying hi. I didn't see anything really to comment on but, I don't want you to feel left out. I hope you had a great day.
My day - well, woke up, took the first 45mins to meal prep for breakfast, lunch and snacks. Man, that takes a while to do. But hubby works out while I do that, so I'm using my time wisely. I have 2 side gigs - one in health and one in clean beauty. The Clean beauty gig is having a pre-black Friday party, so I need to focus a little of my time on that tonight and get out some invites. It does help pass time in the evenings now that my kids are grown.
I'm starting to think about putting up holiday items, but I really want to cherish the fall. Its going to get cold here on Saturday...so one more nice day to go...then down to 50's. So glad I'm not any further north temperature wise. Although being 13hours south of family has its drawbacks also.
I created my meal plan yesterday, a specified macro meal plan that splits everything up into meals by macros. I've done similar things in the past, I like playing with food plans and ways to mix it up. Tonight I'll get to have salsbury steak and mac n cheese. All while still enjoying bread, olive oil and a protein shake with Cauliflower. Its 4pm right now...really wishing I could have a snack but I know that dinner tonight will be worth the wait.

Last nice day here in Memphis...tomorrow cold and rainy. SO happy I get to work from home, maybe do a trail at noon. Meal plan is laid out and, it feels SO good to be able to say that. I don't feel deprived at all.

Do you wake up some morning and not want to go to work?

Thanks for all your kind words everyone. It was a hard 2 weeks of hospitals and eldercare but I am back home. My dads health is declining but was relatively stable so I just couldn't stay indefinitely. I'm sure I will have to fly back put soon enough.
I love the quote @SherryRueter ! Sassy and true!
@zenobia9777 I'm so glad you had a great time in Greece but sorry about the toe! Can you do upper body strength training while it heals?
@HoneyBadger302 its tough moving but your fresh start will be amazing! Sounds like just what you need. Good luck!1 -
I’m chasing you @k8richly! 129.0 today. And I’m realizing what may be stalling my progress. My niece cooks and cooks all day long. At the end of the day when I usually close my diary, I find myself going back for a couple of chips with guacamole. A dip she made. A spring roll. Nothing too bad but totally not what I was doing before.
So two nights ago started intermittent fasting - sort of. 14:10. Done eating by 8pm. Will see. So far so good.1 -
@zenobia9777 sorry to hear about your toe and familial stress. I'm glad to hear you slept good the other night, I hope that continues for you. Your pictures look great, I'm hoping I can get there some day.
@SherryRueter they look delicious and easy, I'm going to have to try my hand at those. My sister is coming to our house for a Christmas brunch and they'll be a nice addition to the table. I won't make too many because they look like the kind of thing I could easily eat a million of as well. Congratulations on hitting your 60 miles so early in the month, seems like you could easily make 120 by the end of the month.
@honeyBadger302 happy for you that you haven't gained weight, moving is definitely stressful and time consuming. I hope your new home is move-in ready for the most part (unlike ours which needed a ton of work, LOL)
@CeeBeeSlim a lot of people seem to be having success with IF, I hope it works out for you.SherryRueter wrote: »Do you wake up some morning and not want to go to work?

@CeeBeeSlim I never thought of it as IF but I don't usually snack after dinner - I'm too tired or I'm too busy! So you go from 8pm to when in the morning?
On the weekends I try to hold off breakfast for a while and sometimes go to 11am or so. But I always have my cup of tea or coffee. Does that break the fast? My problem is that I ❤️ breakfast, I wake up super early and I can get cranky and light headed if I don't eat regularly so I've never really tried IF. Let me know how it goes!
1 -
@k8richly. So far so good. Like anything else I guess, I’ve read different things. Generally there seems to be a consensus that anything less than 50 calories is not enough to break the fast.
I’m not doing it though for medical or hormonal issues, so the rules may be more precise if you’re doing it for that. I’m doing it for some self-control! I had some pizza last night but was craving some ice cream afterwards. ( I always do😁). Had I not had this rule at ending my eating at 8pm - it literally was 8:15, I would’ve had some!
I want to be in this habit before Thanksgiving!1 -
@SparkSpringtime69 - well, I'm actually moving in with the boyfriend (earlier than I would have preferred, but in the end it'll work out better). His house was really not ready for that, so he's had to move up some of his timelines (primarily getting the floors on the entire main level done), so there's definitely some "crunch" feelings here as we near the end. This weekend he should be able to start getting things set up on the main floor, which will make moving my stuff in a LOT easier, but there's still going to be some shuffling around for sure LOL.1

Hello! It's been a while since I've been on MFP. I've been up and down for the last 2-3 years with staying on track with my workouts and I have gained back all the weight I lost in 2017. I'm bummed but I'm ready to recommit. I set some mini goals and rewards for myself for the remainder of the month. My overall goal is to stay on track long term with my health and fitness. I would love to get back down to my old weight of 115-120 lbs by June 2023. I'm currently weighing in at 137 lbs. I'm 5'3" and will be 39 years old in January. I would love some accountability buddies with similar goals!2

Welcome back, @Happyness4me2.
Congratulations on committing to a new you.
I have been AWOL but I finally have news that I can get back to the gym after the toe incident. Apparently the fall just aggravated some arthritis. It was pretty badly bruised. The doctor did say that sometimes fractures don't show up very well.
So yoga today and tomorrow, then circuit on Friday. I'm a little nervous because I've been on the couch for about 2 weeks except for house cleaning.
We are having 20 people for Thanksgiving so you can imagine I have a few things to do.
It's nice to catch up on what everybody is doing! I suggest it is really important that all of us recommit so that we don't have remorse after the holidays. I can still have a great time if I don't eat everything in sight!!!
Coping by trying to control the things I can control and being kind to myself.
Speaking of great quotes, I need one to start every morning.
Here is my affirmation:
Today I will be my own best friend so I can go to sleep with a peaceful mind.

@ceebeeslim the nothing after 8pm is a great plan. I know several trainers recommend nothing within 2 hours of bedtime, as it helps you recover from workouts better. Otherwise the body is focused on digesting food.
@HoneyBadger302 I hope your move goes smoothly. Moving is always a lot of work.
@Happyness4me2 - Welcome back! and check in as often as you wish. We'd love to be your accountability team! Your weight goal seems VERY realistic.
@zenobia9777 that's great news that you can get back into some workouts. I hope yoga goes well. do you do that in the gym or at home with a video? I should get into yoga more... I enjoy doing one of Bob Harper (Yoga for the Road warrior) and parts of P90X YogaX with Tony Horton. I used to have a VCR tape of some sexy dude with an accent, wearing white tights. I used to do that one quite a bit. No clue who he was. I'd love to do that one again. Then I used to practice PiYo and instruct it as well....so I could always host a class for myself.0 -
@SherryRueter I may need to look up your videos!! Definitely a different vibe.
I go to a hot yoga studio and some of the classes even involve weights. I don't do those, but I go to their circuit training.
Yesterday I did not do well at all because the teacher had us hold poses for too long for me (sits and bent knee poses) and I was out of practice, plus I just didn't feel good.
Today went quite well and was a good flow and stretching workout. I'm not focusing on having it be super strenuous.
The quote for today was, if you focus on the negatives, your experience will be negative, or something like that. Sounds kind of obvious but it's a good reminder that you have a larger world than the negative things that happen to you.
I'm still working up to walking the dogs. I'm out of my cycle and it's hard to get back into it.
Heartbeat was an average of 105 and it went to the max of 143.

@zenobia9777 you sound very in tune with your body. Nice heart rate for Yoga. I'm not sure hot yoga is something I would want to do. Warm yoga yes, I used to do it with my fireplace on and the lights off, and the TV playing the workout. Very calming. Love the feeling afterwards 100%
Today was leg day, I was NOT looking forward to it either. 4 Weeks 4 everybody LEGS has you going slow... 4-8 counts down and 1 up. Focusing on the eccentric. I really didn't like the quad moves, I did it all anyway. Then did about 20 mins more of a video that has you do 30 second weighted (like a 30 seconds squatting) followed by 30 seconds plyometric (Squat jumps).
Narrow squat to squat jump
single leg squat to single leg knee driver
Side lunge to side lunge kick
front lunge to front lunge kick.
Other stuff: On the side I do sell Beautycounter and lastnight we had a kick off to Black Friday client event online. OMG soo fun (and I didn't have to lead any of it!). So Today I have to work on my follow ups and have text convo's with the ladies that I invited. I don't feel that I'm that good at the texting convo's, but I bet everyone feels that way as they start out. Also, one lady chose to have a party with me Dec 1st. So I have to get my poop in a group for that as well.
Cold here...40's. Makes it harder to walk outside. Thankgoodness I have a gym membership.1 -
Workout notes: I wasn't sure how well I would like tracking everything but, this has been really nice. I enjoy my morning check in and the reflection on how I did the day prior for eating in the morning, the afternoon and the evening. The tracking of my food, the pre planning, and how its helping my mindset has been good so far. I'll continue for the rest of the month. My goal is to want to track also on weekends when I'm not at work full time.Nov 1: 4 Weeks for Everybody Day 1 PULL (30)+ Agility W1D3 6Weeks of the Work (20mins)

@SherryRueter it really helps me also to have accountability reflections
Those leg workouts sound intense!
I am sure you will feel more comfortable with your beauty clients as you go along.
For me, unfortunately, yesterday things went south after lunch. I had been doing a lot so I was resting, and then I just got to a bad place. Family drama...I just have to keep busy on fun things as well as chores. Maybe I need to leave "think positive ' notes everywhere!!!0 -
Darn bake sale at work yesterday. All for a good charitable cause but hard to resist. I ate several "oatmeal bars" pretending like those were healthy despite the delicious chocolate chips....
Today is a new day for new choices!!
