@mkksemail Great job with your steps!

@Katmary71 True! Oh gosh, I'm sorry you so sorry you are feeling like that. That must be awful. And I'm sorry you had to miss the concert. Thanks, I got better sleep. HUGS.

@Cornanda Mindful eating...I've been meaning to do that ever since I learned about it but never seem to do it. I like the way you are doing it. Thanks for the reminder.

@tammymccrady6278 Congrats, well done!

@askewcr You ARE doing well. The scale can be unpredictable, but you've had some NSVs recently haven't you: going to water aerobics, posting here, etc. You are doing well.

Hi all. I was so tired last night, I was going to take a nap at 7:30 pm and wake up and stay up late but I took a nap and didn't wake up until this morning lol. I guess I needed it. Today will be a challenge as far as tracking goes: I'm going to a retirement party and I have no idea what they are serving. But I'll do my best to track it.

4th of July challenge: tracked 100% of what I ate

Sorry I have been MIA lately. Been depressed and haven’t felt chatty. I’m ok, it’s a cycle I have dealt with for many years. It will pass eventually. I’m still doing Keto. Haven’t been walking or going to the gym. Still loosing so not gonna stress about it. I felt better when I was walking daily, gonna try to get back to it, it’s just been so hot. FIL has more tests coming up. His health has declined a little but overall doing well, considering we now have a cancer diagnosis.

Just want to say a quick hi to all my teammates! Did some gardening today and my husband is making dinner with extra protein something I've been low on. I'm thankful for the structure of this group it's helping me stay on track. Maybe I'll be able to lose the weight and keep it off this time?

@micaroo4 You’re doing awesome with the challenge!
@Cornanda I think that’s wonderful, do you ever want to eat even if you realize you’re not hungry? I found myself doing that sometimes, eating stuff like carrots does help because they take awhile and there’s all that chewing.

@tammymccrady6278 That’s a great drop too, woohoo!

@askewcr If you’re positive you’re doing good it could be so many things like sodium or hormones, keep up the great work and see if next week is better, if not it’s time to stop and examine things. I love @trooworld ‘s comments on this! Just because the scale is a punk doesn’t mean you aren’t doing awesome!

@trooworld Wow you really needed some rest then! Good luck tracking today, I’m having one of those challenging days tomorrow. It’s depressing to estimate that too since It always seems to be higher than I think when I start.

@DJill68 Hugs my friend. I’m glad you’re sticking with the diet and still losing. I hope the tests go well for your FIL.

@gemwolf110 Very amazing birthday week, nice loss, better health is a great birthday gift to yourself!

@Brigit02 Hi my friend! I hope you lose the weight for good this time, I’m glad you returned to MS! What all are you up to in the garden?

Good evening friends. Had a tough time sleeping then my ex-boyfriend had posted a stressful message on Facebook regarding his health so I sent him a note then went back to bed and had nightmares about it as he's having a biopsy this week to see if he has cancer. I spent a little time at the farm working on tomato and basil then stopped at the farmer's market and went to my appointment. The PA tried to show me I was exaggerating my herniations by reading them off by levels then said I need to see a neurosurgeon when she saw I hadn't and we weren't halfway at that point (gotta laugh or I'll cry). I see the pain doctor in two weeks as well just had to go for medication refills. I met a friend for coffee then came home and my neighbor who also goes to the farm to help out had texted me offering extra kale and lettuce she had from her house and the farm and told me to come by and get some so I took a bunch of herbs for her and her boyfriend and catnip for her cats. Tomorrow both of my nephews are having a joint graduation party and I’m in charge of salad so I’ll be joining @JessicaKrall8 ‘s new challenge for sure! Have a great Sunday team. Oh I'm up 5lbs too since steroids and a few ice cream trips then not being able to do chair cardio anymore. Wish I could say it's muscle but I can't.

Doing my best on body mechanics, don't really want to go into details but I'm doing what I can.

This is not a bad thing! With the right frame of mind this will be gone by next weigh in.

@DJill68 Congrats on the loss. I'm sorry about the depression. I'm glad you know what to expect with the cycle of it. I hope it passes soon. Hugs.

@gemwolf110 Congrats on the loss and Happy Birthday!!!

@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss, how are those grandbabies???

@Katmary71 Thanks, yeah, I did track it all but not until today. It was challenging. I know what you mean about it being depressing. Did I miss something? Did you and Bill break up? I'm sorry you had a tough sleep. Oh gosh, that PA! What a visit. A nice salad is a great thing to bring to a graduation party. HUGS.

@mkksemail I love Yoga with Adriene! She has a chair yoga video that I use at work to take breaks and I just love it. She is like the Bob Ross of Yoga lol. There is a channel that isn't yoga but she may do some strength training (I think it may be mostly aerobics): Grow with Jo. She's a really positive person and I really like her videos.

@txcritter69 Yes! I'm glad you had a good trip.

Hi all. Well, I metaphorically fell on my face yesterday: it wasn't so much the food at the party, it was a combination of that and snacks later in the night. Today WILL be better!

I’m blaming this one on TOM. I haven’t even had my fair food yet 😤

Yesterday Hubby and I celebrated 23 years of marriage. We went to Outback Steak House. I had green salad and the baked chicken, shrimp and pasta meal. I ate the salad, 2 pieces of the bread, one bite of the chicken, two shrimp, water, and maybe half a cup of the pasta. I enjoyed it all! My weight was 258 and my sugar was 129 this morning. The weight is the same as yesterday and the sugar is less.

Then when we got home, I cut my knee on the door of my husband's truck. Pain!!! I iced it and used Aquaphor on it. It didn't bleed a lot but is so very sore today. Lord have mercy! I hope this doesn't interfere with my water aerobics on Tuesday.

Have a good day everyone!

Let's go get it!

Sunday

I'm in a dietbet that ends tomorrow and I'm now 0.2 under my goal weight. I'm just dreading the scale going up tomorrow... Becuase of course it will . What matters more, though, is that 160 has been a huge goal for me. I'm half way to my target weight - down 20lbs from my highest weight at the beginning of the year.
