I’m so very happy for you @cupcakesandproteinshakes! Your diligence is paying off.

Really hope you’re feeling better @tishsmith101 - we also have a nice travel trailer and know what you mean about going down the YouTube rabbit hole to help when repairs are needed!

Any gain can be so frustrating @MercyRoth - especially when we’re putting in the effort! So many things can play into it. Sounds like you have a good plan for today!

Summary - I have been in maintenance for about 3 years now: 54 - 55kg.

September goal: to reach and stay consistently around 56.0kg.
October goal: to get back into maintenance range of the 55’s.

Finally a new low after one week of following the Mediterranean diet which isn’t really a diet, but a way of eating for health purposes. Includes a bit of wine too!

Congrats to all who had success on their WL adventure this month! I’m pleased with a 1.5 loss after months of maintenance.
Let’s keep the momentum going in October!

I seem to have spent most of the month kicking the same kilogram up and down the scales which isn't really what I was aiming for but realistically to be expected since my goal is to get to a comfortable maintenance.

Welcome back @HappyDonkey75 - sorry to hear your time away was marred by digestive problems. Iceland has been on my list of places to visit for a long time - did you get a chance to see the northern lights?

@SofaKween -actually we did but only on the night we flew in from the airplane which was pretty cool.. however that flight was awful with turbulence for half the flight so I was pretty anxious to get landed and get off that death tube with wings. It seems like the nights we remembered to stay up and watch , it was too cloudy. I see northern lights from home quite alot so it wasn't a big focus for me.

Whatever this cold/flu/virus I came home with is kicking my butt so I didn't eat much yesterday and what I did eat was not much in the way of protein.. it was carbs.. I just didn't have much of an appetite so breakfast was yogurt and cheerios, lunch was way too many dried mangoes , dinner was chicken both and noodles and an apple. Didn't win any awards on my food choices yesterday. It was also the first day back at work in 2 weeks so that was as much fun as I anticipated, starting out with being locked out of my system which took me half the day to sort out . Our IT dept is all offshore and they have made it impossible to get a live person on the phone. I finally did manage to get to someone after alot of messages and emails and the actual fix which was a known issues that happened on Friday and they did a back end fix for… took all of 5 minutes to fix on my system.. so annoying. What a wasted day.

Trying to work, while be not only jet lagged but also sick is not easy..

I have to finish training today that is due in 5 days.. I love how they always give us so much time to get required training done.. <insert eye roll>
