Phew... that was a hard one! To quote the frog, sometimes it's not easy being green!
Root canal over (still on antibiotics though) and a mountain of work to do. Gotta keep going but will go get some steps first.
On another note, I was inspired by @aneedlecraft's plan to give herself the gift of a "one way trip to the 200s for Christmas." This made me think about giving myself a gift related to our mini-challenge, too. So, this morning, I found a Christmas gift bag in my wrapping supplies and put a pair of pants from my closet into it that I hope to be able to wear by December 24. I think I will look around for a few more things I already own to add to it - a sweater that is currently a bit too snug, a pair of earrings, etc. Growing up, my mom always made sure my sister and I had a new Christmas dress - I think this is a good gift to myself for several reasons (including the fact that it is fun to get a present!
) Thanks again, @Slimmersixties, for doing this and the motivation it provides. I'm looking forward to opening my gift on Christmas eve!
I love this idea. Now to come up with my present.Congrats on the loss!lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Steps: 5,562

Ok, I have gained two weeks in a row. There are several culprits with the biggest being my sleep. This has been going on for a few weeks. Poor sleep leads to nighttime eating for me. I have been over calories for quite a bit as a result. I am also going through a medication change which is not helping the sleep.
I feel this big time. I just ordered a highly rated mattress topper to try and address some of my sleep issues. I wake up multiple times a night with pain. Fingers crossed it works.
Have you been able to look into possible resolutions for your sleep issues? Curious what you find.
There are many things that affect my sleep. Stress, pain, overeating at night, not keeping a routine, timing of my medication and a few others I can’t think of right now. I have had sleep issues for years. Sometimes it was too much and others not enough. For the last 6 or 7 years it has been not sleeping enough on and off. The pain is something that really isn’t going to change anytime soon until I get surgery. The overeating is an ongoing battle. I have been struggling with the urge to binge eat again so that also leads to stress. It’s something I continue to work on and have mental health resources to help me in this area. I take a sleeping pill at night. This helps but I have beer playing with the timing to see if I can optimize it. A sleep routine is very key for me. Do some reading on sleep hygiene. Listen to some 432hz music for sleep and relaxation. I know the pain specialist told me not to use a memory foam on the bed. That may not be an issue for you though. Maybe check with a health care professional. Also, exercising regularly helps with sleep. That one is a work in progress for me.NouveauRee wrote: »@lindamtuck2018

Lost 0.6 lbs. I’m sorry for weighing in late! I stepped on the scale on Friday morning only to have our batteries die and had to go to the store to get some more and it’s certainly been a busy weekend lol. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
Nice loss!1 -

Another week of reaching my exercise goal but gaining weight. I am going to the pool soon.
@Slimmersixties
Please use 173.6 as my Christmas challenge weight. I am going to lose 11 pounds which will bring me to 100 pounds lost. I will need to adjust my calories for the week so I can lose .75 pounds a week. I can and will do this.

I can definitely tell my hard workout days. The next day, my weight usually goes up. I usually try to have a lower-intensity workout the day before. I appreciate your help.
Do you use an app like happy scale for recording your weights?
I have an android. Happy scale doesn't show up. Sounds like a fun app.1 -

Don't worry about converting them to steps. I just want to keep track of how many I do. Climbing stairs is something I want to do when I am old, so I thought this was a good place to keep track. Thank you so much for the offer. I appreciate this challenge.2 -
