Sorry for the weight red weigh-in!
CW 196.
No clue how that happened. Hopefully it's just water weight and will disappear by next week. I can't pinpoint anything exceptional I did this week to gain 4 lbs but lots of salty foods were consumed at random points in the week so even my increased fibre wasn't enough.
Starting on next week's success today!4 -
I promise that after the next weekend, I'll be back on my game.
This wedding is going to be what does me in. This past year has been exhausting, but the past 6-8 months have drained me... mentally and financially. I have no idea whether I am coming or going, but I do know that after August 13th, I will be able to breathe ... and buy stuff.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I missed weigh in last week. I don't really know anymore.
I don't even know what my last previous weight was, but since I've been in this yo-yo mode with these 10 (+ -) pounds, I'll just be glad to be stress-free for a bit.
Current weight: 135.4
I'm really working on it, be gentle with me. LOL6 -

What a wonderful day it's been. Just the right combination of breezy warmth with a touch of coolness now that the sun is setting. I love Vermont when it starts to be autumn. I know. It's not *that* close but I can tell it's slowly coming around the bend!
I managed to attend an encouraging speaker meeting at 7:30 a.m. and take the full hour to let the antacid pill do its magic prior to eating brekky with OH. While they went to a horse trial in a town 1 hour north for the day, I got laundry washed and hung out (yes, I still use my beloved clothes-line as often as possible, even in winter!); some pesky vacuuming of high places in the kitchen (cupboard tops and a mostly hidden window); washed the collection of gross, greasy bottles and vases and put into the now open (as in no closed blinds) window sill; ate a decent lunch of freshly cut and cooked tomatoes; protein, and corn-elbows (gluten free has some good choices); rescued the drowning re-potted "prayer plant" from the huge rain storm we had last night, and then did 15 minutes of practice on my new-to-me 3/4 sized guitar (a Baby Taylor 2 for those who may be familiar). I decided to take an online class because I never had the basics and figure it's never too late to catch up on those things I missed the first time around! I talked with a few friends in between these activities, including my wonderful sister, Liselyn.
After typing all that, I realize I'm a bit worn out! OH is back from the horse farm events and cooking some delicious supper including a big batch of kale. Yay! I'll go supervise so it doesn't become "southern kale". For those who don't know, Southern cooking is famous for cooking tougher greens in vats of boiling water with salt pork...for too long to maintain much "green" at all. I prefer bright green kale, thanks!
Enjoy your evening, y'all. (got to practice my Southernese as we're going to visit mom in Matthews from the 17th-21st or so. She turns 93 on the 17th (she kindly shared her natal day with my nephew, Paul.)
"See" you soon.

Well! I need to clean up my eating act over the next week for sure. I have been indulging in all kinds of things, and the only way that will work is not to have them anywhere available - so I'm back to a grain free week, which will easily eliminate the things that mix with grains to trip me up. I'm not really sure what has pushed me towards more of the things that get into frantic eating, but usually getting grains out of the picture helps them go away. Sugar all by itself is not usually an issue, but as soon as grain and fat mix in there, hooo boy! Control out the window. Even having whole almonds with raisins or something equally indulgent does not spiral out of control, but if the same ingredients are in a cookie, I'm doomed. So yeah. Back on the rails please. I'm adding it to the habit tracker.4

@EvMakesChanges glad to see your long message! We must have been writing them around the same time. So glad you can be with mom for her birthday And yeah. Don't wreck that kale....3

I'm still here by the skin of my teeth.
I'm Katie, 35, from Nottingham where I live with my husband and our cats. I work in IT, so a desk job, and if it wasn't for personal training I would get a sum total of zero exercise per week. I am currently working crazy hours and it's still not enough, my days are manic and woohoo for burnout. If I do escape my desk, I enjoy lifting weights with the PT (that's just once a week), and I have an allotment which is my happy place.
My sleep has improved since I last posted, but energy to cook is still non-existent. My husband is also stressed and tired, so we're stuck in a cycle of eating rubbish because we have no energy, but the rubbish food drains rather than gives energy.
It can't last forever; I drop a customer at the end of the month which will be a big help. Just need to ride it out.
Hang in there, Katie - I love your posts and look forward to reading them!
I'm sure that I represent many members who read and enjoy the posts in this community - even if they don't post that often. Guilty!
"See" you later!

@DianaGetsFit512 Not I with the metabolism monitoring.. wondering if it was @conleywoods ? Definitely a Half Size Me fan though.. her podcast is so good for my mindset.
@Gidgitgoescrzy What lovely service to your neighbor.. not the health and fitness activity you were hoping for but such a meaningful thing to be there for someone in need...3
