@yirara is correct. A little more information would be helpful. How long ago was the 2nd pregnancy? was it a C-section or vaginal birth (recovery varies)? Are you breast feeding? What are your current stats and goals? My children are much older now, but I was very large with my first child. I nursed, and at the time didn't…

5# Challenge We ended up going to a local brewery for dinner so I had one beer. Not the plan, but way better than my typical 3 beers. Since Tim can't drink, we don't stay as long and I don't mind. Mom was her typical selfish self. I don't know why I let her get to me, but I do. Oh well, I only have to deal with her on…

Thanks for all of the Hugs!

5# Challenge Yesterday was better than Tuesday. Today is better than yesterday. I'm starting to adjust to the new normal that isn't very normal. Didn't even cry when I did Tim's infusion yesterday. It does however take almost twice as long as the directions claim. Not much on the agenda today other than meetings and more…

Best of luck! Enjoy the experience!

Welcome! This group is about little goals that turn into habits, or sometimes big goals that we need to ease into, or maybe just a place to feel at peace and be among friends. In other words it is many things and there are no rules other than kindness. I'm Nikki.

5# Challenge Last minute Birthday get together for my niece yesterday, so there was no grocery shopping. To be transparent, I had cake and ice cream for dinner. Tim's new treatment takes more time and is more involved that the previous and for some reason I am really bothered by administering it. Like anything, I'm sure…

Yesterday was ok. They are changing Tim's antibiotics again, and I need to learn a new technique for administering them later today. Sounds like it will be a little more intensive and take a little longer than the last set. I'm not afraid to give him the meds anymore though, and they gave him the new one yesterday at the…

Haven't been diligent about weighing like I was the first few weeks of the challenge. My stress levels are lower so I'm stress eating rather than having no appetite. Weird, super stressed = not eating, but moderate stress triggers binges. Sigh... Either way it was a good weekend. I got to spend some time with my girls. V…

5# Challenge I've been very lax lately. Not logging, not weighing, not really caring. I think a little depression is sneaking in even though things are going okay. All I want to do is sleep. I went to bed at 7:30 last night and had a hard time getting out of bed to go to work. I did however finally make it in. Today's…

5# Challenge Yesterday was fun. I took a meeting in my car while Tim went to the infusion center. The eclipse occurred during this time period. It was cool to watch from my sun roof. I included some pictures for @Bex953172 . Afterwards we went home and chilled for a bit then decided to go play trivia. Trivia turned into…

5# Challenge Hubby and I were both in crabby moods yesterday. TBH, I'm still annoyed with him. He does too much and then he complains. Now he's losing circulation in his lower arm. I told him to call today, but I'm betting he won't because he sees the surgeon tomorrow. Diet was not on point yesterday. I was actually within…

Good luck, but be sure your 24 hour fast doesn't trigger a 24 hour binge. Often over restricting can bite you in the butt. Slow, steady and maintainable are key factors.

One thing I experimented with when I was in better shape than I am now is how much of the %BF on the scales for women is due to breast. It sounds silly, but I am short with a large chest. At my smallest I was 102 and a DD/DDD. My scale told me I was 26% BF, the scale at the PT also read in the mid 20s. I was really upset…

How long will it take to heal? Not exercising is a huge mental hurdle when you are accustomed to it. Be patient, and remember you aren't going to lose your fitness by taking a few weeks off. I'm sure the croissants are hard to resist. Hopefully next time he'll pick up fewer.
