    Whooawee I am bogged down with last minute Italy changes, rehearsals, packing, and putting out fires from travel agents, teachers, parents, and Rome. I’m so sorry that I missed the weigh in. 😢 Just put in last week’s weight if it’s not too late. Thanks.

    I am leaving for Rome this Friday (where did that time go?!?!), so if I can remember and I have the time, I’ll try to weigh in on Friday morning. No guarantees though! 🛫 🇺🇸 🛬 🇮🇹

    @therealbluenote How exciting! Don't worry about us, take care of all of the fires and have fun! Have a safe trip and I look forward to hearing about it when you return. <3

    Going to try this again...and I am going to keep trying until it sticks! For the sake of my health, my mantra needs to be, "Fake it 'til you make it"!

    For those of you who don't know me, I am Lisa, 56, from Ontario, Canada. I am married for 31 years, an empty nester with two grown sons, one in town here and one that lives in Prague, CZ. We have a family farm supply business that I work VERY part time at, filing invoices and stuffing monthly customer statements.

    Sunday, the 5th

    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Water: 8 cups (could be better)
    Exercise: Yes, a 37 minute walk (318 calories)
    Steps: 12,050

    Monday, the 6th

    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Water: 10 cups
    Exercise: Yes, a 33 minute walk in the snow while my husband was curling (321 calories). It would have been really pretty were it December, and not March!
    Steps: 14, 519
    I went to work and did some filing, so that always gives me steps.

    Today is errand day, so hopefully I will keep busy and not spend too much time plunked down at my computer, which ALWAYS becomes my downfall!

    My husband and I went to the Brier yesterday (the Canadian Men's Curling Championships). We left at 7:30 in the morning, watched the morning and afternoon draws and got home around 6:30. So, a bit of a long day. When I got home I read some stuff on MFP but I was too tired to post. And my Fitbit said I got 8,627 steps yesterday, which I don't even know how that is possible! Lunch was chicken Parmesan on a bun with some carrot ginger soup (very good). We shared some fries in the afternoon. Not a beer drinker, so I only had water. ($4.50 at the venue!). Obviously I didn't log my food, but I would say I was in maintenance range, if I had to guess.

    Weigh in Week 1

    CW: 144.1

    Slow but steady so I'll take it. 😁 Hoping to lose a couple more before I go on work travel for a week and then vacation for 10 days. I've been trying to increase my steps and get back to where I used to be but it's been slow going. Then travel will squash that, a week in a conference room in Indiana. Then a week driving the California coast looking at the redwoods. Looking forward to it even though there'll be a lot of sitting. Will make up for it when we get to San Francisco walking up and down all those hills. 😯⛰️🚞

    Happy Friday everyone!

    Yes, but can I keep it up? That is the question!! Your trip to California sounds awesome! We did something similar for our 25th...San Francisco, redwoods, Napa Valley :) , Yosemite, San Simeon, Monterey and then to Oakland for a football game!

    Not the best week. I've been running around for work so I haven't had the energy to exercise outside of my regular gym days and I haven't been too concerned with the types of foods I'm eating and the amount of water I'm drinking and it shows. Next week will be a loss for sure!

    Friday, the 10th

    Logged: Up until a point.
    Under: Nope, not at all.
    Water: 10 cups, I think.
    Exercise: Yes, I went for a 33 minute walk in the snow!!
    Steps: 9,777

    I went to the grocery store hungry. Yes, I did know better, but I was out "my foods"! Naturally, I bought some things I shouldn't have, and then I ate them, of course! I was out of calories by 4 pm! My husband went curling, so I was home alone. Not starving by any means, but I got into the chips I bought for him, and then it became a free-for-all. Had it not been the case, I would have walked around my house to get to 10K steps, but I had already blown the day. Up a pound on the scales. Today is a new day.

    I've had covid since Feb. 24th. Food tastes different and I've had no appetite. I hope this weight loss is real. I'm starting to eat again but I think my stomach may have "shrunk". I get full easily now.

    Spent the morning car shopping. Didn't want to go grocery shopping hangry and end up like @HASWLRS so we went out to lunch instead. Not sure that was much better than what I would've gotten from the store. LOL Oh well...new day today.

    Heading back the right way but I keep sabotaging myself on the weekends. I am good during the week and sometimes can get to 204.X but by Monday I am back up to 206. Going to try something different this weekend coming up so fingers crossed I am closer to the 199. first goal I have next weigh in
