@juliemouse83 - sorry one more thing. Do not quit. If you quit you cannot collect. Proving you were forced to quit is quite difficult and at this time getting an administrative hearing on a claims denial is uncertain.

@juliemouse83 - I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time. I had my daughter young - at 20. When she was about 8, I was working at a firm that was terrible. I would take the train into work and sit on the wall in front of the building next door and cry until I had the courage to walk into my building and…

@BMcC9 - I like the blogs. The body neutral one was good. They also have some really good recipes every now and then that I bookmark and make some of them every now and then.

Thursday, 8/6 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, cycle 45 minutes Pass days to date - 2 Ahhh, sleep. Very elusive. My mind gets busy at night and constantly goes through my to do list. It’s like a recording on a loop and I can’t shut it off. I’m working on it though. I’m trying meditation.

I do not but for the last few days I have been running around yelling “plot twist!”

@jillebean86 - weight lifting is great for building muscle which in turn burns more fat. I cannot lift while doing cardio at the same time. I need to focus on one thing - can’t multitask like that as then my form suffers. There are many on line lifting while in a chair videos. There are also cardio workouts that are low…

Monday, 8/3 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, walk Pass days to date - 1 I try to keep my deficit to less than 300 calories per day.

@BMcC9 - Really? That would be sooo much easier. I will have to try that tomorrow on my computer. It seems I don’t have as many options on my phone app.

Have you tried it using your TDEE? First you calculate your BMR and then your TDEE. There are many online calculators. You’ll have to play with it to find what works for you. My TDEE is between 1600 (with light activity) and 2000 or so (with moderate activity). Since I usually have moderate activity each day, and I don’t…

@Chinkiri - no apologies necessary. That’s why we are here. Doing any of this without support - even on line - is so hard. I’m sending a PM. Saturday, 7/18 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, cycle 45 minutes Pass days to date - 3

Friday, 7/17 Pass Day #3. I went down a rabbit hole starting thursday morning and just ... just. Posting really late because I put off drafting some documents for work work and forced myself to finish some as soon as I got up today. Tracking: Yes Calories: over - I tried to estimate. I could have over estimated but maybe…

I love NSV day and reading everyone’s NSV - I just reached healthy BMI. It took a long time but I am learning that I don’t have to get what I want overnight. I have time. I feel so much stronger. Now, when I finally do get to see him again, my 4 yo grandson won’t be able to poke me in the belly and yell “squishy” for all…

Happy belated birthday!

@juliemouse83 - I hope your feeling better this morning. I'm glad you're getting a break from the chaos at work albeit due to not feeling well. Rest up and take care.

@ajdvegan - when I get like that I check my protein intake, especially if I am more active and you are definitely more active. If I am not having at least 75 grams of protein spread out over the course of the day, my hunger is insatiable. I just keep eating mainly because my body is craving protein. Sometimes when I check,…

@bmcc9 - seriously! @Dory_42 - are they really cuddly?

@hollis100 - my mom is Sicilian. We were all somewhat overweight as children because food and love are so intertwined. Over the years I have been angry with her because when I go to visit for a weekend I come home weighing 5 extra pounds. She makes all my favorite foods and then I would yell at her and she would feel bad.…
