AustinRuadhain Checkin @micaroo4 Monday Weigh-In SW 265.2 PW 198.2 CW 199.0 I have not been doing so well this month. I need to reset and can't wait until a new month starts! Today's accomplishments: fridge cleaned, fruit and veggies purchased, and I did some menu planning. Tomorrow's plans: log food, stick to plan, get in…

AustinRuadhain Checkin @micaroo4 Monday Weigh-In SW 265.2 PW 197.0 CW 198.2 Happy Monday! I was pretty unfocused this last week, and it shows! Deep breath. I did do better today after my weigh-in. The big thing was taking my husband out for dinner last night, so some of it may be salt and water? Anyway, I did better today.…

AustinRuadhain Checkin @micaroo4 Monday Weigh-In SW 265.2 PW 197.2 CW 197.0 Happy Monday! I stayed about level this week. I have been kicking a back for the last few weeks as I decompressed from running the conference. I am happy not to be up, but with the new month, it's time to work my way backj to being more focused. My…

AustinRuadhain Checkin Monday Weigh-In SW 265.2 PW 198.4 CW 199.0 Still a "1!" Sorry not to be in the green, but I am really happy I got through convention week and did pretty well.

I am so excited for all of us! Go F2F, go! Also, @minstrelofsarcasm (such a great handle), thanks for keeping track of all this. I was so thrilled to see that I was in the green all month. I was super proud and might not have noticed.

@19shmoo69 — I am sorry your wife is still in so much pain, and glad that the church ladies visit offered such a bright spot. Great news about your son's hip. I hope both keep improving!

@trooworld — Thank you! 5 weiner dogs? That made me laugh. I got curious and looked up other things that weigh 60 pounds and found "a bear cub" and "a 9 year old child." Phew! Your day sounded so fun and adventurous! You inspire me! @Cornanda — Aww, thank you for the congratulations! I am so grateful for this group.…

Happy Saturday! And oh, my, I got way behind! @bisky — Donna, I would be happy to do something sometime. Let's circle back on that thought later in the fall, after you get back. I miss Mihani, too. I tried looking her up a while back, and it appeared that she did a hard stop on using MFP at all. Thank you for posting all…

@Katmary71 -- So, what ended up happening with the science education group is that someone I have known for ages, has resigned from the board, bailed on co-leading a program a couple of days before the kickoff, and pulled their kid from the program. They just… stomped off a couple of days before the fall program started,…

@Veta2018 Yes, LOL, I need to save more often when writing posts. Hello, all! I have been having an odd week. I joined a board for a small nonprofit early this summer, and the person who recruited me just quit, after much drama. He got mad at someone else on the board, sent a string of angry texts to the group, and has…

I love how chatty this group is! I lost a post I started the other day. This time I wrote in a separate doc, and am pasting it all in. I know I should do that, and was being a bit lazy, I guess. @trooworld -- Well, darn, about the tight knee pads interrupting your plans! Hopefully, the little skate shop can get you fixed…

WHAT DO I LOVE ABOUT MY BODY RIGHT NOW? Oh, wow. This is such a challenging question for autopilot me. When I think about my body, what comes to mind first are things I am dissatisfied with. So, taking a breath — I love that I can move and get outside and enjoy the world. Thank you, legs! Thank you, arms, trunk, lungs,…

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I am so sorry you are having such a hard week What works for you to calm down from an upset? Do you journal? Have you talked to your therapist? That might be one place to start. You also mentioned your TOM is back after a long break. Have you made an appoinment to see your physician? It sounds like…

Here's an article on motivating yourself that I found myself reading today: I find myself using some of these as I work on making progress on weight and health, and think I could do more.

@DrewsAnna - You inspired me! I had a few minutes earlier while I was waiting for a Zoom call to start, and I fit in a mile with Leslie Sansone! @TeresaW2024 — I thought of you, too. My Zoom call was better than yours, as (A) all four of us were dialing in, and (B) were were all motivated to keep things brief. Anyway, I…

@DrewsAnna - Yesterday sounds like it was really rough. Hurray for getting up and taking steps to create a new day for yourself today. Hang in there. @micaroo4 — Thanks for sharing the letter to yourself! @19shmoo69 — "Enjoy them both." You are a wise man! I do not always remember to enjoy the process. As @micaroo4 said:…

Woohoo! Slimpossibles won the "percentage in the green" category! Hurray! @trooworld @askewcr - Thanks for leading the way! I was surprised but happy to see my name on the list. Mostly, as always, it feels day-to-day like not much is changing. I was thinking last week about when I might, if I work hard, hit my goal weight…

DECLUTTERING: I am so glad about this project. My husband and I tackled his big closet that was filled with old tech gear. We filled the back of our SUV with gear, and I took it to the city for reuse on Friday. They were very happy, as I told them the old monitors and keyboards worked. We just did not need that many…
