Happy Saturday! My goodness it is a beautiful day. My Airbnb has a beautiful patio, so I started out my day journaling and doing the crossword outside and it was so very peaceful. I'm so lucky to be here. Wishing such a good day for everyone. Make good choices! Goals for challenge: 1. Keep weight below 220. 2. Focus on…

Happy Friday everybody! Here in New Orleans we're settling in and ready for Delta, which means flashlights, bottled water, and planning indoor exercise! I'm starting to get reeeaaally jealous of other people's RingFit. Do I need one? Goals for challenge: 1. Keep weight below 220. 2. Focus on getting exercise throughout the…

Good morning everybody! I'm sorry I'm coming in halfway through the challenge. I was two days on a train, and then settling in to my apartment in New Orleans and then waiting for a scale to arrive. So this morning as I weighed for the first time since 10/3, I weighed 219.7. It's a new scale, but I'll take it. I'm still…

Good morning! It's Thursday! In a mere 3 days I'm getting on a 30 hour train to New Orleans, which has to be the craziest thing I've done possibly ever. But it's such a great opportunity to see if I'd really like living there, or if it's just a fantasy I indulge in whenever I visit. And can I stay on a diet when…

Hey good morning everybody! I'm a little stressed lately, and I can't be alone, but I'm so happy I saw this challenge and I love reading everybody's posts every morning.

@CamandJarvis For me, 5:2 fasting was really difficult on all levels. 1. I like having day to day consistency. I do somewhere between 16:8 and 18:6 fasting every day, and I find it very easy. I skip breakfast and have a cup of tea, no problem. I never seemed to adjust to the 24 hours of minimum calories. 2. I didn't have…

Good morning everybody and happy Sunday! Today's the day to relax but maybe also knock a few things off your to-do list? I need to cancel my gym. I admit, I don't care what cleaning procedures they've started. I'm not going back to breathing hard in an enclosed space with a bunch of strangers until I'm vaccinated, whenever…

Good morning everybody and happy Friday! Yay it's finally here! As usual, my COVID weekend plans are a little limited, but I'm going to brave Manhattan and buy my mother a present. We're going to have beautiful weather, and I am going to get my exercise on 5th avenue. I will have to choose my prettiest mask! SW: 248…

@quiltingjaine Praying for your granddaughter, and grateful that you and others are there for her. Anyone can wind up where she was, but not everyone can get themselves out. (And the system so rarely helps!) I hope everything goes well Friday.

Good morning everybody. So I've been missing for I'm not actually sure how many days, I'm sorry about that. Some combination of work, then weekend, then all the news, then not wanting to face the scale... either way, I shouldn't have done it and I'm glad I'm back this morning. Happy Tuesday and wishing everybody in this…

Hi everybody happy Tuesday! I'm a little late checking in today, which tells you what kind of work day it's been. But if you're busy, you're valuable, and if you're valuable, you're employed, so I can't complain.

Good morning and happy Monday! I know I'm dragging this morning, and the sun getting up later and later isn't helping me any. It's going to be a beautiful week here in NYC, which just doesn't seem right, with all our sister coast is going through. I'll be taking a lot of long walks, and just holding on to the good stuff…

Hello! I'm so happy about this challenge and excited to do my second round. The short challenge really keeps me focused. PS I am admittedly just getting back into MFP, but if you are looking for more friends I am also looking for more friends to keep me honest.

Good morning everybody and happy Thursday! It is a rainy depressing mess here in NYC, which is not helping my productivity any. Fingers crossed for a break in the downpour long enough to take a walk. And I WILL resistance train today. I will. If I tell the internet, surely that makes it true. SW: 248 (1/1/2020) CW: 228 GW:…

@playhardkf2017 You're right! I mean sure, my co-workers might find my party dress a little weird on the zoom meeting, but they'll roll with it!

Alright, back on the wagon after yesterday's pass day. Exercised 40 minutes, stayed within calorie budget (barely, eek!) and tracked everything.
