Shape Shifters Team Chat - JANUARY 2024

My older son returned to Boston yesterday and my younger son drove back to South Carolina today because their university classes begin this week. It was nice to have them both here and also celebrating the Christmas holiday with our extended family in Boston. They spent a lot of time with their friends but we got a fleeting glimpse of them most afternoons and enjoyed time together at dinner, watching some movies together, etc.
Today, I caught up on some work and turned on a series about health, exercise, and nutrition while preparing my final invoices for 2023. The information presented motivated me to treat my body better and feed myself more nourishing and nutritious food. I felt productive and energized even though I skipped soccer to pick up my husband at the airport after he helped our son drive as far as Charlotte, NC.
My husband was a bit worried when the tire light was indicating low tire pressure this morning. Our son had the car maintained before the trip so it would be in good shape, with fresh oil and rotated tires. He even filled the gas tank! … but ny husband was upset with him about the tire light. I thought it would be an unpleasant drive but my husband said he enjoyed quality time with our son so I’m relieved that it went well after all. 😅
I hope everyone has a good week!5 -

@bearchested You asked to be excused for several weeks, so we currently have you on support. Do you want to be back to the weigh in group?
@pedal__power Oh how fun! I also really like having everything in one spot, though I still track in different places. I like the rainbow tracker because it is really clear which things are good. I hope you will keep using and enjoying your paper calendar!
Yes, please add me back to weigh in group2 -
@jessicakrall8 and @Pupowl — I’m traveling to Saipan for work tomorrow and I’m not sure if I’ll have access to a scale.
Should I update you once I get to the hotel or would you prefer that I request to be excused now and just weigh in next Thursday?
I return on Sunday evening, January 14th.
Thanks for your guidance. I appreciate all you do to keep the records straight and apologize for the inconvenience!2 -

Thank you! 🙏🏼
I think they have to weigh me and my luggage to make sure the plane from Guam to Saipan is balanced, but I’m hoping the scale is on one side of the counter and only the airline staff on the other side will see the display! 😬

@PatriceFitnessPal that sounds like an exciting trip! Post some pictures!
Today is my last day in Colorado before I head to Houston for the marathon. Hoping to do a little skiing with my husband today and one last treadmill run. It’s very cold here today.
I was supposed to meet with the woman who’s designing the stationery for the wedding Thursday, but her husband has COVID. Honestly, I’m relieved to put it off. Whenever I go back to Houston I totally over schedule myself. My daughter is the same way- and she is in trial Thursday so I was going to have to make decisions for her. This will be her first trial without co-counsel which is a huge milestone.6 -

Sunday January 7th Weigh-In
PW = 205
CW = 205
Apologies for the late weigh-in. Someone in my family had an explosive meltdown which unsettled my nervous system. I needed to remain calm and rational on Sunday. I am a trauma survivor, a 'surthriver.' While I wish Sunday happened differently, I am happy and proud of how I handled it. Much better than a previous version of my self. I'm making progress.6 -
@casandraw OUCH!
How is your recovery coming along?
I've been in similar situations with my dog. How is your dog doing?

Don't worry about a gain and please don't be ashamed! Be proud you posted it and shrug it off. It happens to all of us at some point. Maybe your body hasn't got the memo yet, so keep going
@nancyinmo Oh, he looks so goofy! Cats sure have character don't they. I just wish Tinus would be a character somewhere else sometimes, lol.
@Pupowl I love this idea of the body not getting the memo yet. I am for sure going to incorporate that into my thoughts when I'm experiencing those uncomfortable feelings and negative thought patterns. It adds some humor and lightens the mood.3
