I was hoping for a bigger loss. I have been doing better with my eating. My steps this week have not been good. I did have a plan for the treadmill but I had to take a ton of classes for work so it didn't really work out. I'm trying to take one of these classes right now. It's a lot of little videos, some are 45 seconds some are 12 min, very hard to focus on these things. Then I have to take tests so I am going a little crazy. I have 1 week left and then we are on vacation. I can't wait for a week off. I'm doing nothing. Maybe getting organized in life but I can do nothing if I want4

You're welcome. I know a lot of people who would disagree about my attitude...but I try. At the start of the year, I said I was going to work on positivity. The middle of the year made that difficult but, by Godzilla, I will work on positivity at the end! Your comment about major depressive and PTSD from childhood is strangely familiar. And the reason I have no family (the traumatic childhood...and early adulthood)...I had to learn to take care of me. Balance can be hard. (Especially if, like me, you have vertigo! Ha ha.@melaniedscott
Thanks for sharing your comments. I don’t have much family either. And I’ve felt the same about holidays for years. You have a great attitude on life about what you do have…”lovely husband, good friends, job I enjoy.”
My mental health is healing and I’m getting better and better. But my mental illness is something I’ll deal with for the rest of my life…major depression disorder, PTSD from childhood...Finding and maintaining a good balance has always been tough on me.

Hmmm...chocolate? But don't set it on fire.

December Week Two - Friday Weigh In
Previous Weight: 171.6 lbs
Current Weight: 168.8 lbs
Loss to Date: 61.2 lbs
I am, once again, torn about this loss. If you recall, last week I spent several days sick, eating nothing but a sleeve of crackers and half a protein bar. The loss I saw last Friday was absolutely a result of not being able to keep any food down and severe dehydration.
So, this week, despite having my appetite mostly back, and getting back on my routine, I worry that this loss is still an indication of dehydration. Sure, I've been eating incredibly healthy the past week in an attempt to counterract any malnutrition, but I don't know if I truly ate so healthy as to warrant a nearly 3-lb loss.
Maybe being sick gave my metabolism the shock it needed to get back to work. Maybe being sick removed some toxin build-up in my stomach that was causing some hidden digestive issue. Maybe being sick caused a psychological shift that led to less snacking during the day. I don't know. I'm keeping an eye on myself, paying close attention to how my body responds to how/when I feed it. While I hope this loss sticks around - being in the 160s again makes my self esteem happy - I need to prioritize my overall health, and would absolutely accept a gain next week if it meant my body were in a more healthy state.4 -

I mean, I can still start fires - just won't be as legal anymore. Or I could try to shift the new company towards a more fire-friendly mindset, although that sounds like a lot of work.
Oooh, hot chocolate does sound pretty good right now. Good idea.

Ok, definitely heading in the wrong direction. Its been a tough environment to keep a good diet lately. I may need to lick my wounds and startup again in the new year. On a positive note, I signed up for a half marathon in early May. It will give me something to work toward. I always do much better when I am training for something!5 -

Decided it was time to cull bookshelves, unshelve, clean and reorganize. What was I thinking? We did 1 shelf. 7 large boxes, 2 large tubs, 17 stacks (10-12 books/stack of hardcovers...One shelf. Two of the other three shelves don't have as many books. But still. And that doesn't count ths three shelves in other rooms. Have I mentionedI like to read?4 -

I didn't put any weight on - but those 300 grams gotta go next week!
I had a good step count on Wednesday, 13k, as I met a friend and we did a tour of the Christmas markets, walking from one end at the edge of the city centre to the old town square. We had hot strudel cider and hot mead (way too sweet) and it was snowing the whole time ☃️

I had an ok week, sick for a few days and slacked on logging in. It really does make a difference. I need to jump back in but even a few days off makes it hard. Have a great week everyone!3 -
