@FWSWCindy Can you give me a little more information please? If you need two weeks, we can simply excuse you...if you need more than two weeks, we'll have to move you to the support team. Also, if you decide to go to the support team, you'll need to give us a few days notice when you want to return and at that time, give us a starting weight so we can start you again. Please let me or @pupowl know how you want this to be handled. Thanks!

Good morning Shape Shifters. I had a nice walk yesterday so I will share some pictures. Not much going on otherwise. Today at 8:00 I am getting a bunch of guys to work on the waterpipes and watermeter in my basement. They will be in the hall and basement all day and I will not have water or a toilet. So that's going to be fun. They came over at 8:35 to tell me they can't do it today. Will be next Tuesday instead. Happy Wednesday everyone

The daily card:One of the reasons we're so willingly and easily distracted is that we're not very good at dealing with the ordinary. It's boring, so we let our minds wander off to find something interesting. But boredom is often a sign of calm mixed with restlessness. If we let go of the restlessness and appreciate the stillness of the moment, there is enjoyment to be found in the ordinary. Next time you're feeling bored, sit with the feeling for a few minutes and enjoy the quiet calm of the moment.

@CasandraW My vote goes for weigh-in early this week and skip next week.
Who wants to wiegh-in the day after returning from travel?!?!?

@CasandraW That's completely up to you...guess it all depends on how hectic things are before you go/when you come back and your current motivation level. Just let us know your decision.

Good evening everyone. Started 75 hard Monday, was suppose to be doing it with a coworker but they haven't started yet. I on the other hand am off to a great start. I started back with intermittent fasting, so my first meal is lunch which has been air fried chicken, sweet potato, spinach, and rice. Then snack has been a Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. And that keeps my calories low enough that I can eat whatever we are having for dinner. Then for workouts Monday I did 25 minutes on my spin bike Then 25 minutes of chest and back. Tuesday was a 20 minute run and half hour of legs. Today I did 35 minutes on the treadmill doing run/walk intervals, then 25 minutes of shoulders and arms. Excited to see that scale start moving down again7

Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday started a bit blegh and there was a lot of rain. For some reason I really dislike walking later in the day, but I was bored and tired of sitting inside so I went on a walk a little after 15:00. It was pretty windy but not bad enough that I feared getting murdered by a tree. It was also dry and I had a good time so I am glad I went. Happy Thursday everyone

I really hate posting a gain, especially such a big one. It makes me feel like a loser which is not very nice of me. I never think of anyone else like that when they post a gain, but when it is me, I get so negative. So this is me practicing what I preach: post it and shrug it off. Life is hard, weight loss is hard, being chronically ill doesn't help and neither does going through life without IRL support. And that is fine; it is what it is. But it does mean that not every week is going to be perfect. And that is also fine. I know why it happened and I learned from it so that is a positive. It's okay and even if it's not okay, it will be.6 -

@Pupowl I'm sorry you are struggling. But I really admire you being so open and candid about it. Sometimes we think we are struggling alone, it's good to realize others have similar problems. Don't beat yourself up. 4
