Back tomorrow with my final day of stats!

The last couple days I’ve been a little off food wise. Nothing terrible but more snacking than I was doing. I’m sure it’s the job thing. I just want to know for sure for sure. I feel like then I’ll relax.

I had all kinds of snacks out when my daughter came over Friday after work. We also opened a bottle of wine and I had a glass and a half.

Time to log it all and rein it in. Sitting in my yard tonight. Hubby’s hot Indian music on and there are sirens coming from the road. Not the most chill. 😂 I just did a calming guided meditation. It was helpful. It is soooooo lovely out tonight. Cool, no humidity. Smell of someone’s fire pit in the air. I’m feeling very grateful and lucky to have this home and yard to enjoy. The milkweed flowers smell lovely too.

Made sure to hit my 7k today. Missed it the last two days.

@jugar Sending prayers for your young friend and his devastating loss. He is lucky to have you and your daughter. ❤️

@lauren_989 Gook luck with your travels north. Hope your dad’s surgery goes smoothly.

@ashleycarole86 Wow! Water restrictions for that long. That’s an adjustment. Hope you find that silver lining.

@Kali225 Hope kayaking was wonderful. That storm sure pushed out the heat and left us with a beautiful day and night here in Philadelphia.

Have a great night everyone.

Happy Saturday! Tried out a "make your own workout" app and seemed to go well, so I'll try it again tomorrow. Also got a set of resistance bands in, looking forward to adding those into the workout rotation!

Happy June 16th! I've missed you all and am getting back into the swing of things. I'd like to change my weigh in day to Wednesday, please.
My tracking has been non-existent, as has my exercise. I realize how easily overwhelmed my emotional system has been, especially this year with the death of my brother in May, 2023 and Dad this April. It's better when I can keep my head in today and not get worked up about future events.
So, with that in mind, I'll track my food today, take a walk, and make better food choices with more veggies and fewer processed foods like crackers, which have been tasting really good for a few days!
I'm catching up on all of the posts since the beginning of this month. I'm glad you're here to keep me moving forward. Every step counts.
Thanks!

I can change your weigh in day to Wednesday. I know you have been going through a lot recently! Don't forget you also have the option to be on the support team if needed. Thinking about you!

@EvMakesChanges I love that squat/toilet trick!! I am going to start doing that!

@strong_fit_ells great loss and congrats on getting into the next decade!

@ashleycarole86 I like Ellie's thought of 1 pound a week and you can still lose this year! I know some weeks may be more and some less, but it is a realistic goal. And I am with you all the way on the icing 😂

@smcewen99 that's a great weigh in for being in a hotel and out of town all week! Portion control is very important and if you don't have a scale or measuring cups, you can always use your hand. I love the photo below to help with this!

@YinxFed I may or may not use lose it haha. Actually I have been on it for a few years. I only stay on MFP for this group 😄 I like the layout better than MFP for tracking. However, you get more features with the free version of MFP. You can't pretrack the next day or get macros broken down for the day if you don't have premium. The barcode scanner is premium as well (as is MFP). Oh and you can only track water with premium. Only get premium (if you are going to try it) when it goes on sale. Don't pay full price. It goes on sale pretty often. Although you are in the UK so I'm not sure if anything is different there?

I had a decent day today. Kind of restful and didn't do too much, although I went to a couple stores and strolled the neighborhood. I am working on my crochet project some today and relaxing before my short work week.

Hello Friends,

In the end @lauren_989 I decided to try MyNetDiary instead of Lose It! It has an impressive food database, free food barcode scanner, really responsive food (including macro breakdown), water and exercise log, and it syncs with my Samsung watch.

I will still be coming in here for the Waistaways, but MyNetDiary is looking good at the moment. I'm interested to see if it makes a difference to my progress.

In other news - yesterday was fun as my choir did a performance at our local Dine & Devour Food Festival. And I even resisted the temptation to buy some yummy provenance after the gig!

Today I am completely relaxing. No work for me today. I even cancelled my Forest Run today because I feel so exhausted. I really need to take these bouts of chronic fatigue more seriously, as it's a constant reminder of my MS.

Loving @strong_fit_ells suggestion for losing 1lb a week. I would love to be able to do that. I'm going to keep @EvMakesChanges in mind whenever I go to the loo this week - thank you.

Take care, Friends.
