Friday weigh in

@Cornanda Thanks for suggesting that I use fun things to distract me from binges. Fun fact - doing chores is probably the most relaxing thing for me. I love cooking and cleaning. I rarely have time for it and I consider it a luxury:0) I also really like walking so 1000 steps and 2 chores is the equivalent of getting a manicure for most people:0)

I sort of lost 1.4 lbs this week. I say "sort of" because really I have been fluctuating between 208 and 206 for 2 weeks. A friend of mine is coming to spend time with me August 26. She is not the judgemental type but I would really like to be under 200 by then. This is 2lbs a week which doesn't usually happen for me (mostly because I am not sufficiently consistent, not because of my metabolism). I know it doesn't really matter if I am 199 or 203 on August 26, she wouldn't be able to tell or care but I still like the idea of being under 200 by this totally artificial deadline. Let's see if I can make it happen.

Lots of people weighing in today! Good luck to everyone.

Maybe I should have clarified, I was asking about the other Fat2Fit groups. You know the "competition".

@AmbersWay - I'm glad your hubby was able to get some sleep in the chair. Healing happens during sleep.

The August Week 2 Group Challenge is open and ready to begin on Sunday, Aug 6th. Please join us for PFW + 1 Challenge. You'll have to stop by to figure it out!!! Acronyms are tricky things!

Here's your link:

Hope to see you in the chat thread!

@AmbersWay Yikes that sounds awful for your husband. Will the bones eventually be corrected at a later date? Huge hug and prayers, I know it’s hard and you’re probably extra empathetic since you’ve been through severe pain issues. Your neighbors sound wonderful and I’m happy your nephew is helping out. I’m so glad your husband got some rest in the chair. When I had my back fusions I helped moderate a support group for spine issues and when the Zero Gravity chair came out a few people swore it was the only way they could get sleep and we all bought them.

@maggybd Funny you said that, I straightened up my pantry the other night even though I didn’t feel good and it’s bringing me a lot of joy when I open the door now to see everything organized. Cleaning is hard but I’d given up at one point and it was a disaster so I take a lot of pride in it being semi-clean now, those workouts you get results from like cleaning or gardening are awesome. Good luck hitting 199 and being back to Onederland soon!

@trooworld I saw that about Splenda too, I’m doing fairly well with stevia and use the leaves in tea but just killed my plant cutting it back too much. Well shoot I’m not going to ask if they’ve fought if they did it after I asked! Thank goodness your husband is ok, that’s so disappointing about the fight. I went to the YMCA when I visited my aunt and uncle in Washington, theirs was amazing and I loved it! They have great classes too. What kind of tea bags did you use in that recipe, it sounds great and I want to try as I have a lot of mint. I think the only plain tea bags I have is Lipton and have no clue how many years ago I bought those. I'll be collecting seeds from my strawberry mint if you (or anyone else) wants some, just send me a private message and your address.

@19shmoo69 I just read @trooworld ‘s post did you mean groups in Fat2Fit or other groups? I’ve been in other groups outside of Fat2Fit but this is the only one I’ve done since the beginning. Thanks for the answer, only on accident. Haha “the competition” made me laugh, no posting sundae photos in the other groups!

@bethanie0825 Yum but yes I agree, lots of sodium from a meal like that! Hey definitely pat yourself on the back for not sounding like you’re dying, the progress for now is awesome even if it isn’t what you’re used to and you should be proud.

Hi team! Don’t recall if I said this the other day but I’d been planning on asking the pain doctor for steroids and my appointment got moved a week out last minute, I was doing bad enough to go to the ER for them yesterday and because of the upper body increase in symptoms they insisted on a neck MRI so I was there for over 9 hours. They wouldn’t let me eat in case I had to go into surgery. My neck’s in bad shape as far as dengeration/stenosis/bulges and one of the bulges is putting pressure on the spinal cord, it’s real overwhelming since there’s a few areas that are real bad now in different areas of the spine but I have to wait for the meurosurgeon referral to go through, the consulting surgeon offered to see me but I have to see if he takes my insurance first. I have a list of symptoms to watch out for but would prefer when I have surgery to have multiple areas corrected instead of just one level versus emergency surgery. Basic consensus is the fusions made the rest of the spine crumble. If this stuff would move a little faster I’d lay around resting but as those of you who’ve been in this group for awhile know it’s been a few years of waiting for referrals. I did figure out an arrangement with the tea thank goodness and will be trying to make it tomorrow night after it arrives. Sorry this was long and depressing!

No Zero Days- right at calories despite a Blizzard, good water, stretching and watering the yard.

Have a great Sunday!

@Katmary71 This sounds awful. I am sorry:(

@Digger61 Congrats on the loss!

@broncobuddee Brigit02 messaged me saying she was taking a social media break, so she may not be weighing in.

@AmbersWay Thank you so much! I'm glad your hubby was feeling well enough to take a good nap. Are you doing anything for stress relief for yourself?

@Katmary71 Yeah it's pretty scary. LOL...yeah that was funny you just asked and waaaa laaaa! Yeah, I'm disappointed, too. We are lucky enough to have about 6 in the county and if I join, I can go to any of them. There are some really amazing ones near me. I used just Lipton family sized in the tea. It was really good. I would love some of your seeds. I'll send you a message, thank you for the offer!!! You were at the ER for 9 hours??? Oh my dear, I am so sorry. I hope the consulting surgeon takes your insurance. I'm so glad you got the tea worked out. I hope it helps with your sleep. HUGS.

@DrewsAnna Why do you wait so long to eat? Is there a way to shorten the time?

@maggybd I'm glad you found some resources to help. Amazon has everything! I can imagine it must be a challenge to find vegan keto recipes.

Hi all. Well, I did well during the day. Yogurt & chopped apple with sliced almonds for breakfast. We went out for lunch but not until 2 pm, I STILL made a good decision even though I was starving: seared ahi tuna salad + a glass of wine. But it was dinner and beyond that I messed up. I didn't do too bad until the ice cream and wine. I had 1/2 of a baked yam + about 5 oz of steak for dinner. It was the ice cream and wine that got me. The ice cream is gone so I don't have to worry about that anymore. I am going to Aqua Zumba this morning. That should burn some of those calories.

@txcritter69 Sent! Interesting about the sweetener. That's great you've been sweetener free for so long, you are an inspiration! I love the cell phone holders, you are so creative! How did you cut the vinyl? Do you have a Cricut machine? I know we talked about this but I forget lol. Oh bummer about the fender bender. I'm glad your hubby is okay. That's a hard loss, that car. I would think the person that did the rear ending was at fault but the insurance companies have their own ideas, don't they? Great goals, 8,000 steps is a good amount and you did fantastic most days.
