While catching up on posts I realized I never did my introduction for March. So here goes!

Hi everyone!! My name is Sue, and I am 62 years old. I live in southern Maryland, am married, have two grown kids (1 in Seattle, 1 in VA), 2 grandbabies (VA) and 1 fur baby 🐶. I work full time, currently teleworking which appears may go on for.ev.er. I love to read, ride my bike, quilt, and make greeting cards. I am always up for a challenge (you've probably figured that out LOL) and am usually involved in multiple reading, fitness and Fitbit challenges at any given time. 📚🚶

I have been on MFP for 10 years now and part of TBBT for almost 3. Wow...time sure does fly!! I joined TBBT after COVID/teleworking caused my weight to climb. I officially hit my goal of 140 lbs in September but sadly have been on a steady climb since my vacation in October.

My goal for January was to get back into my normal eating and exercising routine. That failed as work didn't slow down as I had hoped. I did manage to lose a pound though so I'll consider it a win.

Work still isn't slowing down and I'll be going on travel in April and then vacation the end of April so life seems to be picking up speed. Oh well, I will get through it.

Welcome to our new teammates and welcome back to those returning. Here's to a great March!!

Good luck everyone!!

@JbeanR0212 !! You are back!
Oh I've missed you!

It sounds like you are making great progress.

Great idea learning Spanish, when you have learnt enough you should come visit me here in Spain and I'll take you hiking and kayaking in my gorgeous area ❤️

Not a great week. Last week and this one I have plans with friends and I struggled to stay on budget. Especially when my friend brought out the chocolate chocolate chip ice cream...

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

@plummerbecky1 I have the same problem. Which is why my weigh-in day is on Friday. :-) Something to consider.

Appetite is coming back. I'm still coughing so I haven't been able to get many steps. Covid triggered my asthma again. I've have a follow-up appointment with my PCP to see if there is anything to do with my asthma.

@maryphum I'm glad you're feeling better. Take care of yourself, I have asthma and it's no fun.

Hi, my friends. It took a lot work an consintration but I found you again. I am sorry life for to hard to face for some while. I just give up on fitness. I do have water exercises most days now I think it is helping me bunch. It will be a long time and makes me sad to not focus on weight & strength. I just want to say I miss my fitness famly and think of all you every day. I am not exactly the same person any more but get there very slowly. I can stand good now but still need support to balance when I walk or get up and down. I am helping some around house now like dishes laundry and some cooking. I am trying to learn Spanish so when I secant work again I have skills to make best money from people who would hire me. Yes I still work on getting my English right back to. It helps my speaking to practice different sounds without feeling so judged or bad to talking. I just trying be relistic to get a life back in all ways I can. I love you all and hope you are do good. Go TBBT from side lines!
