@TeresaW1020 Oh my goodness that is a lot to add your plate, especially since watching over littles takes so much energy! Congrats on your amazing 3.6lb loss, that is truly fantastic!!! What subject did your husband used to teach? @trooworld I hope the video visit goes well today. I'm so glad you got a bit more sleep, even…

@cbabie You are so right, growth is everything. One of my biggest fears in life is feeling like I stagnated so I definitely appreciate the growth mindset. I hope the CBD oil helps you. I absolutely eat my emotions too and I'm so sorry that what someone said or did hit you in a negative manner. @trooworld I've been trying…

@cbabie I'm so sorry your stress level mirrors my own! Exhaustion is no joke, I hope you're able to find some time for self care and rest today @theslightedgeforever Sorry to hear about your computer. Technology issues are the worst! Way to go on getting intentional movement in @TeresaW1020 OMG congratulations!!! That is…

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It felt good to word vomit it all out. Today work is insanely stressful. Managing 5 people means my day is entirely spent checking in and helping them which means I work all day but get nothing done. I did track my food for the first time in WEEKS so at least there's that. I also did…

@TeresaW1020 I'm glad to hear you had a good time at the wedding and that everyone was trying to mitigate risk with masks and social distancing. I hope you and your love ones continue to stay well and healthy! @trooworld Do share, what kind of dessert did you get?! The anti-inflammatory dinner sounds delicious too @cbabie…

@trooworld OH no! Your poor cake, and you worked so hard on it! I bet it was absolutely delicious, presentation is the least important part after all @TeresaW1020 How did the wedding shower go? I love baked ham and cheese sliders, great idea to feed a crowd! @theslightedgeforever Thank you for your encouraging words!…

Hey all! Sorry I've dropped off the face of the planet. The first week of classes means my job is insane, my new grad classes start, and my qualifying exam was due so my head is spinning a bit. I've been trying to make healthy choices during this time. I did have one major binge but after that I think it's been going a lot…

@theslightedgeforever Are you psychic? Cause curling up in bed with a book and forgetting the world was exactly what I did last night. My goal for the week ahead is to get back to my basics (and my habit tracker). They way I can at least start to hit my minimums again. How about you? @gemwolf110 I've been loving at home…

My day is starting off kind of awful. All I want to do is go curl up back in bed under the covers and pretend everything's okay. It didn't help I didn't get much downtime last night. I ended up working on my qualifying exam until after 9pm since I didn't have any energy to do it this weekend and I needed to get an outline…

@its_cleo Great job being back on track! Getting to see friends does feel so indulgent! @trooworld Glad you have someone to talk to to help process everything, you're in my thoughts. I'm really impressed you tracked everything yesterday, that's huge! @theslightedgeforever Thank you for your kind words, I'm going to cling…

@trooworld I am so sorry for your loss. As someone who recently lost a parent, your complicated emotions surrounding his death are totally understandable. For me, it brought up a lot of feelings of what could have been. My biggest recommendation is to find a grief therapist ASAP. It honestly saved my mental health and…

@cbabie I love that, we are important too! Sorry yesterday was such a rough day, I hope it turned around @TeresaW1020 Your pup is SO CUTE! And sorry to hear about the children's pastor, I'm glad to hear they recovered okay. @trooworld Right?! I was struggling big time. I figured out I had 8 meetings by the time it was…

@TeresaW1020 Oh my goodness, 22 hours?! Do you think about food all the time? Lol I say that as a chronic snacker so I'm always really impressed with people who can go that long @trooworld Happy Thursday (and almost shower day!) Happy Thursday All! I am BEAT! We just onboarded my second new employee in two months so I am…

@cbabie I could never fast either, I need that energy to get me through the day! @trooworld I hope you're able to get caught up this week. I'm excited your new shower is coming soon! @gemwolf110 Thanks for sharing the link! And your front steps look GORGEOUS! @theslightedgeforever For sure! I find exercise is really good…

@trooworld Definitely check out Shameless, you will not be disappointed! @TeresaW1020 Sorry to hear your weight is fluctuating (joys of being a woman). I hope your Mom's eye surgery goes well! @theslightedgeforever I ended up making the spinach, potato, carrot dish last night and it was so quick, easy, and healthy! If your…

@trooworld Let me know how you liked the pizza. I tried cinnamon rolls with the two ingredient dough once and the tartness of the yogurt didn't work as well with it as I'd have liked, but I wonder if it's better with savory? And not taking a Prilosec for awhile is a huge win! There's something to be said about the reduced…

@TeresaW1020 Sounds like you had some great luck on the clearance racks! I also have some of my favorite pants around that I used to wear I size smaller as motivation (I couldn't stand to give them up). I hope the new clothes motivate you too! I hope you were able to find some things in your current size too cause you…

@theslightedgeforever Goat is a bit tougher and leaner than lamb but its pretty good! Somali dishes are often over rice and they have a pretty tasty flatbread. They were out of goat last night so I did a spicy chicken and peppers dish that was very tasty! Sorry you weren't able to get movement in yesterday, I hope you're…

@trooworld Your menus are always so inspirational! I love that even an easy week for you is double the work I put in! @TeresaW1020 Congrats on the loss! I'm making an amazon wish-list of all the things I want but would never spend money on normally (I'm an intensely frugal person). A new journal, a magazine subscription,…

@TeresaW1020 Congrats on the loss, you are doing amazing! And thanks for sharing those book recommendations, I'll have to check them out! @trooworld It's hard to be patient when it's been so long! Construction is always so frustrating! Happy Thursday all! I actually did pretty well yesterday hitting my goals. I also…

@theslightedgeforever You're absolutely right. My habits have been good and it hasn't even been a week so I've just got to stick with it. Please share where you found the Hamilton soundtrack workout, that sounds like so much fun! And I like the idea of a magazine subscription as a reward. I LOVE magazines, so subscribing…

@TeresaW1020 I also got a cute sassy bob so we might be twins! And mask wearing with glasses is definitely a challenge! Sorry to hear about the headache, hair dye fumes are no joke! @trooworld Are you excited to go back to work or are you going to miss the free time? A part of me has been envious of people who were…

@theslightedgeforever I love the article you shared, especially regarding "what will people say about you when you're 80". I want people to remember me as kind, supportive, loving, and a good friend. NONE of those qualities have to do with my body size, and I need to remember that when I'm getting down on myself. My body…

@RetiredandLovingIt That has got to be so stressful having your family go back to school in person. I'm also struggling with looking ahead and wondering when I'll see my family next, cause I can't imagine this is going to be any better over the holidays this year. @trooworld Great job losing, I'm glad to join you back on…

I want to join! MsWatson0777 Tuesday 161

@cbabie Great job not going back for seconds, that is a huge win! @TeresaW1020 Congrats on the loss! It sounds like you must have started IF, how do you like it so far? @trooworld I love that you've been able to focus on health during this time. I feel like I've gone the exact opposite way so I need to pick up on your…

Hi Ladies! Long time no talk! I think the last time I checked in I explained everything on my plate...and it is/was A LOT! But I think I need interaction and accountability since I let stress eating take over for awhile. I'm going to do an official weigh in tomorrow to see what the damage is. I'm reminding myself to be…

@renaegry Love the new bike @Its_cleo I'd love to see the completed puzzle, it sounds really cool! @trooworld cookies are my kryptonite, I'm impressed they lasted that long in your house. It sounds like you were really active getting all those boxes situated! @cbabie Transitioning back to work again is going to be a…

@TeresaW1020 I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, and I hope you took some time for self care this weekend @trooworld I totally get not celebrating, I have the same thing with father's day for that same reason. I avoid social media that day and pretend it doesn't exist. And same place, I took on an interim…

Hi everyone! Quick check in today. I got a new job (yay!) but with it comes a lot more work and stress so I may not be posting as much but will still try to drop in to say hi. I had my "come to Jesus" moment where I reminded myself that this is not an excuse to go off the rails because I need my pants to fit when all this…
