As long as you are being realistic about how much you burn (always an estimate), eating back at least a portion of them should keep you right on track. Not eating them back depending on you goal can be too restrictive and lead to setbacks. Good luck!

@scottydewwannalosewt I would be very skeptical of those "studies" Losing weight after a sauna session is more a matter of water loss than fat burning. Calories should not be calculated based on water loss. Unless you are doing planks or cardio while in there, you may be fooling yourself into thinking you are in deficit…

Thanks all for the concern. We are doing the best we can. We do have FMLA for family medical leave, but it does not include in-laws. I spoke with HR though, and they are giving me the option to occasionally work remote. Unfortunately no wi-fi at the in-laws. I'll get a hot spot and figure it out. My mom's outburst are…

Cone of shame. I feel bad, but I can help but laugh as he tries to chew his bone.

I tend to avoid the mirrors now and count on muscle memory for form. Not the smartest idea, but it gets me through.

Don't let your fear of judgement or embarrassment stop you from doing what you know to do. I had some issues that lead me out of the gym (my safe place, my therapy) for years. Now I want to go back, but I'm embarrassed, borderline ashamed, but I'm working on it. I don't go to my old gym often, once a week for spin class. I…

Ordered a few dresses last week for a shower/wedding in October and I'm really nervous that my favorite one won't fit. It's "my size" but Donna Karen often runs small, and this is not a stretchy material. The others I got from ThredUp and they will likely fit. The shoer dress is good, but I'm not sold on the alternate…

Boredom at work = online shopping for things I almost need. I am thrifting though so it could be worse. Poshmark & Thredup. Two more hours and one more meeting and I can leave.

@PackerFanInGB I'm actually an only child, but mom's sibling support my decision to move her to assisted living. Unfortunately, none of her siblings live close. Her sister came in a few weeks ago and tried to help me talk her into moving. She made up stories about the boots and the other things she took. I don't know if…

Weekend was uneventful. Mostly cleaning and my great nephews birthday party. Other than that, I don't think I did much. Food wasn't too bad. I skipped the cupcakes and just had one hot dog at the b-day party. Today is work and blood donation. Well assuming my iron is in range this go around. I was correct, the appointment…

Still struggling with exhaustion. Was so tired at dinner last night that I barely made it through the meal. I head back to neurology today for a follow-up on my in home sleep study. Probably a wasted appointment as I've already read the report that basically just rules out sleep apnea. Hopefully there will be a "next step"…

OK, funny story. Embarrassing story, but I'll never have to face any of you so I will share. Facts: my daughter is home from college, my dog is still just a puppy though he is rather large (85lb), and my husband is quite amorous even after 30 years together. Scenario: Hubby and I are out visiting parents and stop at…

Last interview was this morning. It went well. I should know within the next week or two whether or not I get the job. The other job I didn't get was a long shot. This one is actually in my wheel house. Weekend seemed almost nonexistent. To be fair I slept through most of Saturday, which through me off. Sunday I did some…

Shot pool in a tournament Friday evening. Played well, not well enough to win, but better than I have in the past. It is a late night though it goes from about 9:00pm to after midnight. Saturday: Soooo taking mom to the senior center for the carnival was a total bust. She went but she was rude and bitter. We left after…

interview went well, it was long, but the people were really nice. Unfortunately, I just realized I forgot I was supposed to teach spin tonight. I totally let a friend down. I feel awful. Also got my initial sleep study back. I do not have sleep apnea, but I’ll need to do more testing.
