I am only 5’2” and am getting 2 gym workouts a week and as much walking as I can take without overdoing the knees. This week I am back to food basics — Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken, fish, brocolli, cabbage salads and rice. Have my Siete tortillas ready on hand for wraps. No more leftover biscuits!

Yesterday, I was 390 calories "over" prior to dinner. I was asked to go out for #tacotuesday, and it was all downhill from there. Back on track, today.

Bloat is gone from TOM! I like weighing in every other day, bc everyday discourages me if I don’t see anything positive happen. Otherwise I go down a hole and eat everything bc it’s “not working”. Doing good, not eating my kids leftovers is hard. Trying to get more steps in, but between appts and swim lessons these next few days I have to skip my lunch hour so no walking. Staying tight on calories and went with one big BBQ meal yesterday for lunch or just sausage, beans, and chicken (with lots of jalapeños and pickles) and a slice of banana bread. Hoping to hit the December goal weight by the time my rents come next week and then ride it out til the end of the month by being mindful. We got this everyone!

Avoided the cookie tin and chips last night but had some wine while I finished decorating the house for the holidays.

Comment (Dec. 5, 2024):
An early weigh-in doesn't really tell the whole story, especially when you lose the majority of your weight, each day, in the early morning hours. Food AND sleep cycles are all screwed-up, today. Time to re-set and get back on-track #staytuned.

12/3- 173.9- 30 mins treadmill- Quads/glutes/abs weight training
12/4-174.5
12/5-172.6
No idea.. not that different of a day than from that last several as far as food goes. Not really getting my hopes up at this point since I keep bouncing around between 172-174!

@canadamarie we are all going to be challenged in the coming weeks. Stay focused is key for sure
@Kupla71 - way to go on the drop and the huge amounts of steps! you must have had a busy day.

@ManifestingToday - your are right, this week has been very hectic here too. Can't believe its Thursday already. Thank you for such great inspiration as always. This is not an easy journey for sure. So glad for the support here.

**** ALSO!! I have an update on the use of the peptides for my knee in case anyone is interested. ******

The recent pain in the last couple of months is not related to my surgery from April .This is soft tissue problem on the inside of the knee and almost feels like MCL ( I have had a grade 3 torn MCL on my other knee from a sport accident) I have no idea what caused this recent issue but this knee keeps throwing curveballs at me . Anyways, I started the peptides a little over a week ago. I administer injections every day and every other day since I am combining two as a recommended 'stack'.

I am starting to feel some improvements that are noticeable and hopefully its not just the placebo effect) I was able to get 30 minutes on the treadmill on Tues/wednesday without being in agony by the 10 minute mark. I am hopeful!

It’s already December 5th?!? Up to Sundays’ WI but I won’t get discouraged. I know inches have also trimmed down over this past several months. Persistence will get us/me everywhere!

Welcome @shortmom5 and @nurseshawna81 @Nefertiti54, @bonnieyoungblood, @jennydowd - I like to believe we are a great little group here. I really enjoy checking in here with such an encouraging crew.

It’s taken me too days to post this! We got hit with a LOT of snow for our area. We haven’t seen this kind of snow in a good few years! It’s been exciting in my mind. Though a lot of work. It sure is pretty! Schools are closed. Bill Cory busses are messed up. It’s just been a mess.

In a child at heart so weeeeeee!

Big Christmas lunch yesterday. A buffet that my work treated us to. Prime rib turkey. Gravy stuffing. Lovely. And I didn’t eat myself silly. But still enjoyed it all. I’m kind of surprised to be honest. It was all really good. But I’ve been enjoying my lunch salads. Which wasn’t how I naturally ate before I started this journey. So I was excited to see the salad bar. Good stuff mind you. Not just rabbit food. Lentil and parsnip. Tabbouleh so my first round was salad and cheese. So by the time I got to the hot table I already was not ravenous.

I speak like this is not an obvious thing. But I’ve always had such a different attitude with food. I grew up wanting more and then there was a time I couldn’t afford necessities so a free lunch was to be over indulged. Pair that with diet culture scaring me. Buffet means EAT. 🤣

And I did. I didn’t deny myself. I had the prime rib. The mash. The gravy. The stuffing. But I was satisfied. I even had dessert. But just enough to feel treated. I find it kind of interesting is all. The numbers on the scale may not have changed much. But my mindset around food is changing. And that’s exciting in its own way. (I’m probably blathering. It’s early. Just intrigued me).

Anyway!

It’s been a. Crazy week. It will be a crazier weekend.

Hang in there peeps. We got this!!
