    @IDebraK I'm glad to see you back, and glad that you will be having some time off after this crazy and difficult time. I have moved you to Saturday weigh-ins, and recorded this CW as if it was submitted yesterday. Enjoy those days off after your 2 work days :smiley:

    @ashleycarole86 I think I was with you in spirit yesterday and had a might out of control eating disaster too! We really have to stop the telepathic stuff. It'll get us into trouble for sure. Or maybe not - we did great on our steps on the last 2 weeks' challenges, so now it is time to get our food game up to scratch. Go!

    Monday peeps - here you go too:
    @CarolAnnM2
    @MoonlitMuse
    @cleaneater80
    @adrimango

    Still a few Sunday weigh-ins due:
    @TessieMac833
    @strong_fit_ells
    @honeygldchelly
    @graceojo999

    Thanks! Let's hope we'll have a green week, following the lead of our top greenies for week 3 @project_shan @wishfuljune and @adrimango - you inspire, and we need it!

    @jugar it is Monday, so I hope your boy is on the move and with you soon

    I had a ridiculously full weekend, but it did feel long as a result. Friday I worked in the morning then we did lots of shopping. Saturday I got a bit of time in at the allotment, went to two charity plant sales, then we went to my in laws for MILs birthday. It was lovely, but we didn't get back until 9pm in the end. Yesterday I spent the morning doing chores/errands, and the afternoon was 5 hours at the allotment, planting a lot of what I'd bought - and catching quite a bit of sun.

    I'm back at work today (boooo) and feeling pretty worn out. But the weather is due to stay decent, so it's back down the allotment tonight to make the most of it!

    I've been forgetting to track, but I've decided that I don't need to log the timings of my meals and it's better to log 'muesli & milk' against breakfast, rather than not at all. Photos of my snacks and evening meals (occasionally lunches) are the most important as that's where sugar content or portion size is questionable.

    We had Malia's Graduation party on Sat. There were probably 60ish people that are by but we have a ton food left over. Her Graduation ceremony is today. Tonight, Addison, my middle schooler, get inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. Wednesday I have Kindergarten Promotion and Friday is my last day of work. I barely did anything yesterday. I am exhausted.

    Heckuva super mom! That sounds like a lot of pride and even more exhaustion. Barely doing anything on the day after all that is required. And maybe for some more time too! Hats off to you :heart:

    Today is the best day I have had since the end of March. I walked to and from work and just got in a sneaky 30 min Tabata class. I have stayed on course for food so far and have a chicken dish planned for later on.
    I am struggling. It's been a rough couple of months but I am hoping I can build on today, one step at a time.

    Job Offer! No Salary! Only Glory!

    Team WaistAways could use a Motivator. @ashleycarole86 and I are the collectors of all numbers and the whole team does a great job encouraging each other. This is all wonderful - BUT it helps our experience a great deal to have someone who starts fires, raises the participation rates, and gets things rolling. This is not just about cheering successes and supporting members through rough bits. We all do brilliantly at that already. This would be more for someone who would come up with some internal challenges (like the non-zero days, mini-goal consistency, etc.), post external links that are interesting or useful, read great stuff and talk about it, propose discussion topics, etc. etc. The sky's the limit. It also gives all of us a point person if we have any brilliant ideas but lack the time to put them into action.

    Being the Team Motivator should not be a huge burden, but it works best if you have a bit of time every day to follow up, post something, or whatever occurs to you. You would work with the co-captains to bounce around ideas. You might snoop around the other teams to see what they're up to, and maybe even do a 2-team faceoff or short-term challenge - anything goes.

    If you're interested, we could set up a zoom call to talk it over. We could have more than 1 if volunteers are coming out of the woodwork! Just post here or send a message, and we'll get to it. I think it will be fun to inject some new energy into our team.
    Tally ho!

    You are a genius! What a perfect day. I need to have me one of those tomorrow.

    Oh @jugar I was down about a pound and a half on Saturday after that Friday weigh in. I just left it as is so maybe I’ll show a loss this week. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼. Need to not eat any more cupcakes this week!!!!

    I'm trying a new trick this week, thought I'd share - I blocked my calendar for lunch and a walk each day this week. I'm hoping that helps me simply take the time for both. Last week I had days where I didn't leave myself enough time to make something healthy and take a little walk. Gotta put myself on the list!

    @DD265 your lifting is impressive! Congrats on the PB - hopefully it will help cancel out the PMS. Those huge emotional swings are the thing I miss the least since entering the rather blissfully mellow post menopause phase of my life. Your sweetie sounds like a real sweetie!

    @adrimango well done on the calendar planning. I used to put gym time and walks into my agenda as meetings or appointments that I could not miss - it helped a lot. You belong on the list!

    @LoraineGB I hope your 2nd perfect day is going as well as my 1st one. So far breakfast and lunch have been truly excellent, I did my practicing, I'm heading out for some garden work and will do my workout before making dinner. Let me know how you're doing!
