No change unfortunately @jugar
In other news I'm still really enjoying jewelry making, I'm combining my love of water and nature and making some pieces for sea glass I find! Here's one of my necklaces I made recently ❤️ if anyone is interested, here's my etsy: GorgesWireDesign.etsy.com

@DD265 I get my water in my drinking it in a cup with a straw. For whatever reason, I drink a lot more if a straw is involved. Maybe from when I had the swirley straws as a kid 😂
@AshenMoon that necklace is beautiful! I love sea glass. The beach is definitely my happy place! 🌊
I had an ok day today, not perfect, but I did meet my step goal and went to the gym. Definitely a non-zero day!5 -
Yo ho gang! I made it to Alberta - had a fairly good day for food and walking, and now I'm going to fall into bed. It's so good to be here!

@jugar - may I weigh in on Saturday this week instead of today?
We got takeout last night because my husband thought it would be a good idea to bring the ac units up from the basement, and do some other work around the house. Before I knew it, we didn’t even have the rice prepped and it was already 7:30 pm. He does this sometimes where he’ll start working on a task that I think will only take 15 minutes (I thought he was just bringing the ac units upstairs and that was that), and then he’s still working on it but it’s an hour or more later. Our takeout order was also wrong but we didn’t care because we were so hungry, so I think my weight may be up because of the sodium content and I’d like to give it a day to sort itself out.

So there it is, the ugly truth of when you don’t track, exercise or get on the scale for two and a half weeks. Also had Mexican and beer yesterday, it wasn’t intentional, we were on a road trip and stopped for lunch.7 -

I also tend to drink more with a straw. But sometimes I get tired of that too. I like to put berries or cucumbers and mint in my water. It's always more fun like that.
All week I thought it was ThursdaY, then I missed coming on here on actual Thursday.
My son is all moved into his new apt. Lots of packing this weekend I'm sure for us. Closing on our new home is TuesdaY.
@jugar Glad you made it to your daughter's
@ashleycarole86 Hope you feel better soon. Brad too.
@LoraineGB It was a vacation and now it is back to it. You know what to do. We believe you can do it. Make one small change, go for one perfect day. Do something today for your future self. No beating yourself up for enjoying your vacation.

@LoraineGB
I have been there... you had what sounds like an amazing time. Hope it was everything you hoped for. Now you're back and you know what leads to success. Do that, often. You'll be back to where you were before you left, I know it.
I am not doing what I need and I'm still holding on to my gain from Costa Rica. Don't be me!!
Still sore and achy... but I got my 10K steps today.. I am supposed to be getting on the bike but I'm not feeling well. Hopefully tomorrow!!5 -

I managed to drink my water, track and exercise yesterday. Now to build on it today with better choices and to stay under calorie goal. Tomorrow me needs this.4 -
CW 193.2.
Bad food decisions happened the last 2 days so I haven't managed to get back to March's successful numbers.
Physical activity is ramping up, I collected 3 truckloads of field stones from a neighbor and I will be making a higher retaining wall with them at my driveway this morning, and tomorrow is a other 2 back to back hockey games as our season finals. Thursday also had 2 games which led to the over eating after so I will be better prepared this time and bring snacks for between games so I won't have eyes bigger than my stomach (or wallet!) after the games.6 -

I had a long talk with my husband this morning about how I feel about my body. We have also been discussing expanding our family, and I told him that I want to focus on my health now more than ever. So, this morning I’ve looked up dietitians in the area and will start reaching out to schedule appointments.9 -
Happy Saturday! I completely missed getting on here yesterday - we had an action-packed day. After wild and chaotic preparations, we had a birthday party for my daughter's boyfriend - complete with many kids from 3 - 15, all-afternoon and evening snacking, cake (I did skip that part...), crazy singing, horse rides for the kids, etc. etc. It was fun to meet the BFs family (he was not expecting them to show up!), but it was chaos central for the whole day.
So! These are the remaining weigh-ins due for the week:

@DianaGetsFit512
@carlsoda
@veronica1359
I'm skipping this week - there is no scale here (thank heavens)

That is such an important talk to have! And your decision to reach out for help is a wise one. You'll be working on your health as a team now - the more the merrier!wishfuljune wrote: »I had a long talk with my husband this morning about how I feel about my body.

So on Tuesday I stopped eating gluten - my stomach has been weird for a long time and I am finally just starting to feel some relief. I’ve always been a whole wheat kinda gal making my own bread and healthy pumpkin/banana bread. Thus the whoosh of weight loss. I’ve been relying on oatmeal, sweet potatoes and potatoes as my
starch. I’ll continue eating this way and report next week how it’s working! I’m most excited to see if my stomach continues to feel better. Appt with surgeon next Friday. I did find out our hospital offers the robotic Da Vinci procedure which is usually a tiny 1/2 incision so I’m going to try and push for that. The less invasive, the
better! And…thank you all for well wishes and advice! So much appreciated!!!
Have a great week everyone!!8 -

It's the Ides of April already and I've hardly checked in with you at all this month. There are at least 6 pages to catch up on but I decided to jump into the day before doing that.
I can safely say that I've been binge eating, especially ice cream at night. Some of that directly relates to my OH's work schedule moving to a late night shift and my daughter moving to her own apartment thereby giving me a lot of evening time to myself. I lost the desire to pursue anything except making my tomorrow self a little less happy, etc.
Well, today I'm happy to report a positive upswing. Besides the weather getting warmer in Vermont, I was offered and accepted the Program Assistant position for Volunteers in Action, a "neighbors helping neighbors" organization located 1 mile from my house. It'll be a better work situation with less heat and humidity than the indoor pool environment. At the end of the month, I'll have my once-every-5-yr-colonoscopy exam combined with endoscopy to verify whether or not I have celiac issues. When all that is completed, I'll start my new position May 1st, keeping the pool position on a per diem basis for a month or so until they find a replacement. I'm going to start regular walking outdoors again, now that the footing is more predictable.
OK. Onwards to the outdoors for a walk before OH goes to work. We've got some other chores to do outside and then I'll reorganize the living room. I love moving things around...way easier than full household moves, for sure!
Have a lovely weekend, lovely teammates. I'll return to your updates sooner than later.
