Hi @jugar not sure if you want to include my weigh in for this week or just use it for my start weight in September.
CW 244.2
The scale is up but it could have been much higher considering the stress of the fire situation and being out of the house. Everyone at my house has finally relaxed and as of yesterday are no longer under evacuation orders!
Work/school starts on Tuesday for the whole family. Not feeling very ready to head back to work. It's starting anyways so I'll have to get myself going. I'll be transitioning to more structured exercise instead of my care free summer adventures. I have my gym set up and I am leaning towards morning workouts.
I also want to make some diet changes. I really haven't tracked since probably February with the exception of a few days here and there. Haven't settled on a plan yet.
@ashleycarole86 Soccer sounds so fun! Glad you were able to do that.
@Gidgitgoescrazy Happy Birthday!3 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy Happy Birthday!
@jugar my ankle is already feeling better. It is swollen and doesn't feel completely stable, but doesn't hurt too much.
We have a crew lunch today with pizza, salad, and brownies. Luckily, I'm gluten intolerant, so I am sharing a cauliflower crust pizza with our admin and will easily be able to pass on dessert. I just have to have the willpower to say no to the sugary lemonade.3 -
Happy BD @Gidgitgoescrzy ! It is great that you are so young

Welcome back @leni1us ! It will be fun to have you with us again.
@conleywoods Wow - it is wonderful that you are back home without worry about new evacuation orders, and that the school year, regular routines, and all that jazz will be starting up again. Getting back into food tracking is a great idea (even if it is annoying), and some structure to how you will eat is a good search to continue. Keep us posted!
I had a lovely long horseback ride this morning - Jasper is getting more confident out in the world and we were able to take several good lively canters up long hills to help him build his strength and for me to be sure that the brakes work after he gets excited running! I think we both had a lot of fun. Now it's Pilates time 5 -
@Gidgitgoescrzy happy birthday!
My sleep score on my fitbit is usually high 70s-low 80s. That may be a good thing to work on next month!
@conleywoods I'm happy you don't have to worry about the fires right now! But you may need more of a break to relax before school starts again!2 -

Friday Weigh-in
PW: 277.5
CW: 275.6
I am caught up on posts, I cannot believe how busy I was the last 2 weeks with work and travel. I think being so busy and not being in my own home (visited a friend in PA, then friends in VA, then got to upstate NY at my parents' second home late Wednesday) meant that I literally just ate less than normal. It's much harder to binge or get lots of snacks when you are in someone else's kitchen! Or driving for 8 hours at night.
The summer has flown by but I am SO ready to have Monday off for Labor Day here in the US. Temps here in the Catskills reached the 40s (F) last night and I LOVE it. I do plan to sit by the pool after work today but I can smell autumn in the air!
@Gidgitgoescrzy Happy Birthday!!
@ashleycarole86 I love that you guys got the soccer crew back together!
@MaddawgMadsen crazy that you were able to run those 3 legs with only a month of training!! that race sounds so cool. Made me think of Bay to Breakers in the Bay Area, my sister and aunt have run that one but I think it is much shorter, you can do it as a relay or one runner.
Crossing my fingers that I can log off work a little early today. happy weekend waistaways!4 -

CW 213.4 better than up.
@Gidgitgoescrzy Happy Birthday! Hope your day was great.
@MaddawgMadsen Hope your ankle soon feels better. I hurt my ankle at work in the past. Sometimes spraining it can be a tougher recovery than a break.
I’m back to work. Kids come Tuesday. Life will be busy, but have more of a schedule. Maybe that will help get me on track.
Sleep scores in the 80s are good aren’t they. Last night I got over 8 hours but the score was 79. I get up so many times during the night. I wouldn’t exactly call my sleep restful. I wake up feeling pretty yucky and I’m a slowpoke because I feel so yuck. This has mostly been since I’ve been post menopausal. I hope it can improve eventually and gets better. Any suggestions beyond lose weight?
I need to get moving. Been sitting too long. Have a great day.3 -
@conleywoods So glad to hear you and your family are back in your home and more relaxed from fire threat. Hugs to you (and @KellyBgetsfit ) on starting the new school year.0

@jugar - do we have a September discussion thread? I cannot believe it is September already!0

I used to have really bad sleep scores, but for the past 3 months they've really improved. I started taking magnesium. But apparently the type of magnesium matters. Citrate did not work for me, it gave me weird dreams, but didn't help. Then my acupuncturist told me to use Magnesium glycinate, it has made a world of difference, apparently, it's the kind most used for insomnia and anxiety, it's the calming one. Took about a month of daily use, but now I average 85 sleep score, whereas before it was 75.3

It's September but this is also my final weigh in for August. I'm happy to log a small loss this week and to finish August/start September slightly lighter than at the beginning of August. 😊3 -

It has been a whirlwind of a week. I missed a workout on Tuesday, but otherwise worked out every day since Monday. I’m doing yoga with a friend tomorrow morning and then Sunday I plan on doing a workout (TBD on what).
