Weigh in day - Sunday (with Saturday's weight)
PW 162.0
CW 161.7

I was so busy with what was going on this morning - I forgot to weigh myself until long after I'd had breakfast and had a whole 36oz bottle of water No point in that. Sundays are not usually like that in our house. So, that's Saturday morning's weight.

This week I'm going to be traveling to be with my Mom and Dad to help them out. My mom's cancer has spread despite the immunotherapy treatments. We aren't too surprised by this, because immunotherapy is a last line of treament and was given to her because she isn't strong enough to handle chemotherapy or radiation. But my father isn't handling this well & he has signs of early dimentia. So, I'm going to go spend the week with them to help with financial arrangements and whatever else I can.

Last time I went to see them I managed to do OK with food. I always end up walking a lot in when I'm there in the retirement center where they live. So, I'll probably keep up my steps just fine. My goal during this week is to maintain where I am. I'm bringing my resistence bands for my strength training progam that I can do in my hotel room as well as I can do it at home. But I did that last time, and didn't even take them out the whole week. We'll see..

@865jessica It’s a lot easier to be motivated in the beginning when losing a lot and seeing big changes and getting feedback than after you’ve been with it for awhile and things are slower. You’re stronger and a lot healthier now I’m sure! What pain are you having and does it come after exercise? If we’ve talked about it I’m sorry for drawing a blank, I don’t have the best memory unfortunately. I’m sorry you’re continuing to have pain that’s real frustrating when you’ve come so far with your health.

@trooworld Haha I read that song with Pomeranian energy! I rescued one and brought it home when I was about 20. Thank you! I’m so glad you still went to the pug party and had a blast. Violet looks so beautiful! Good luck with your Spanish lesson, how fun! I’m scared to ask if you made it to urgent care. I’d like to go to a pug party to watch all these pups have a blast!

@Cornanda So glad to see you post! I DO remember you’re another organ player, isn’t there a third too in this group? Polkas would be fun to play! I had a strict older teacher at the store my parents bought the organ from that I didn’t care for then after 4-5 years switched to one who was 18 and one of a dozen kids in a family who all played instruments together. She’d let me add other notes and try new things and I LOVED her but when she went on tour with her family I refused to go back to the older teacher. @trooworld came up with most of Darren’s questions, I’m really enjoying getting to know people better through them. High 5 on a tiny piece of carrot cake only, you’re incredible! Have a great week!

@AustinRuadhain Thank you! 2Cellos is fun have a good time checking them out. That’s right now I’m remembering you’re my twin in loving checking things off lists! The 15 for fitness is perfect timing to get you moving, it’s not too long that you’ll quit but long enough to make a difference. Loved the article you go with those pushups!

@txcritter69 Thank you! Have you thought of adding back a little calories so you’re less likely to overeat or snack? For example if you added 100 calories that’s enough for some extra protein to help with feeling full. If you let yourself have 1300 calories a day instead and get some more filling food in it would make you less likely to eat the wrong things or end up snacking a lot. Just an idea I’m not fond of being starving all the time either.

@morenin Hugs just get back to it! Are you feeling better today?

@laurelfit57 In that case @jugar said she can excuse you for a week or two so let’s do that and plan on logging again in March, does that sound good? The cheerleading squad is usually if you’re done losing and maintaining or taking a long diet break for a month or more. I think the two pups being together will be great, I’m happy they’re getting along so well!

DebJB30 Hi! Yikes that IS a lot of water to drink before a weigh-in! Did you have your weigh-in switched to Sunday? It currently says that on the spreadsheet so if you’d prefer Saturdays let me know and I can change it. Oh no I’m so sorry to hear your mom’s cancer has been spreading, I wish the treatments were more effective for her. I’m glad you’re able to be with your parents. Walking and resistance bands are great planning even if you mostly end up walking, do what you can just to get through this right now. Huge hug and prayers to you, thinking of you.

@txcritter69 @Digger61 @morenin Congratulations team winners on leading the pack this last week!

@Teresa2024 I’m so glad it was a great birthday party, it sounds like just what you needed. That’s sad about the deli closing, I’m sorry to hear that I hate losing favorite spots. You have a great plan for the game and tomorrow, I’m going with that plan too!

Hi friends! I woke up at 4AM and was just going to stay up but I had no desire to go talk The Power of Now and chose to go back to bed. When I got up it was after that had started but my neighbors had invited me to breakfast at The Grange so I went and met them (FFA serves eggs, pancakes, sausage, and coffee/juice for tips). There’s a place not far that has compost, sand, and mulch and you bring your own containers so we went and got a bunch and came back and I worked on mixing all my potting mix with compost in a big pile. Went to my brother’s for the superbowl then stopped at the store and here I am! I have PT in the morning and need to get to bed. Have a great Monday!

sorry for late

@Katmary71- The pain in my neck and shoulder started about two years ago. At physical therapy I was told it was from muscle weakness but I've gain strength on my bad side and still have pain that comes an goes. I can go months and it doesn't hurt. But as of late the pain has been happening for two weeks. It starts in the mornings and I do my things I've been taught to fix it but it comes back in the afternoon. It's not as severe as before but still painful. I have a doctor appointment and going to ask for an x-ray to see if there is something more happening.

Checking in on yesterday:
🟢 Food on plan with a focus in veggies, starting with a green smoothie this morning.
🟢 Plan for today's party: salad, fruit & smidge of guac. DONE! I did add a couple of Olipops. Back to water, coffee and tea today.
🟢 Fifteen for Fitness Challenge: I signed up for this, so at least 15 minutes of focused movement!
🟢 GtG Pushups: Goal for today is 3 sets (12+)
🟡 Movement: No 45 min walk (though I did do more than 45 min housecleaning). I was 70o steps short of my goal.

@Teresa2024 I am so sorry about the deli closing. It's sweet that you got to go visit beforehand. I hope the party was fun! It was so great that you had beer in the Sunday plan, and back to workouts and healthy eating today!

@txcritter69 @Digger61 @morenin Wow! Congratulations on being on the leaderboard for the week! Inspiring!

@txcritter69 As far as being hungry -- have you experimented with changing what the calories are? Some calories are not as satiating as others, at least for me. More fiber works well for me. I used to keep plain baked chicken breast in the fridge, and would parcel out a 4-ounce chunk if ravenous.

@Katmary71 Yes, I do love checking things off daily lists! That is crazy helpful for me. I hope PT goes well!

@txcritter69 - I'm also on a 1200 calorie diet. I tell myself it's ok to feel hungry once in a while. I drink more water and I try to eat lots of protein (boiled eggs, yogurt, beef jerky) to satisfy my hunger. It also helps me to eat something small more often, sometimes before I get hungry.
@morenin - I hope you feel better.
@865jessica - I was like you, I rarely drank water. I drank coffee and tea all day. Now I drink a large water first thing in the morning before my coffee and then water the rest of the day with an occasional unsweetened tea.
@DebJB30 - You are in my thoughts. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.
Congratulations @txcritter69 @Digger61 @morenin !
@Sleepygirl79 - Nice loss!
@AustinRuadhain - Great loss this week!
@Bethanie0825 - Good work on the loss!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - Congratulations! Grandma again! Give baby Oliver lots of kisses. 😊
@trooworld - I agree, Violet should've won! Violet's dress is beautiful. I tryed to learn Spanish in college then took ASL instead. I have a hard enough time pronouncing English words...lol.

I'm just starting to feel impatient. These last few pounds have come off and on and off again. Ten years ago, I lost 45 pounds in 12 weeks. I've been at this for almost 6 months and only lost 36 pounds. I know, this is a good loss and last time I was younger. But this time I have better habbits. I only have 15 more pounds I want to lose. I just want to get there already.
