PW: 220.0 CW: 217.4 Glad the heat is finally back to just normal hot instead of insane here. I skipped my walks earlier in the week because it was just too miserable, and cut today's a bit short because I feel like I have a cold... it's a wierd reaction to dental anesthesia a couple days ago, and my nose hasn't quite…

PW: 222.8 CW: 220.0 @micki48 That smoothie sounds delicious! This heat has me thinking smoothies lately, might try that combo. A small food victory this week - I succumbed to the temptation of half price Jeni's ice cream, but my husband and I have been savoring it. The pint has been in the house for 4 days now and it's…

PW: 221.2 CW: 222.8 Oof. Husband wanted nachos with allll the toppings for his birthday dinner, and I ate way too much of those plus everything else this week. At least he didn't want a birthday cake. I redeemed myself a little yesterday by trying this creamsicle smoothie bowl for a cold treat.…

PW 221.4 CW 221.2 I'm so unmotivated at the moment. Haven't been tracking food. I have a giant to-do list I've been completely ignoring. I think part of it is the weather - I don't do well in heat. Some is just unexpected problems... for example, we have a pet tortoise. I moved him to a new larger habitat recently. He's…

@lauren_989 I have a husky adjustable height work table that I use as a computer desk. It has a hand crank instead of a motor to adjust the height, so that's a little mini-workout. Not difficult though. I don't raise it nearly as often as I should, but it's solid and comfortable to use while standing. I should make myself…

PW 222.8 CW 221.4 Still trending in the right direction, but it was lower 4 days ago. Too many snacks. I've kept up with my DL/Pushup goals with the exception of one day. Still just focusing on slow and extremely careful with minimal weight on the DLs because of the hamstring tendonitis. I've been brave enough to pull out…

PW 224.8 CW 224.0 Thanks for the motivation with the squat challenge! I know I really really need some sort of strength training. Daily squats don't quite work for me atm, so I made my own version with alternating days of dead lifts and modified pushups.

CW 224.8 Think the only reason I'm in the green this week is that I got up and weighed myself later than usual. Not a great week. Combination of frustration with some things not going the way I wanted, too much computer gaming, and an unexpected food plan failure. My usual lunch is half a bag of one of those chopped salad…

You aren't kidding about salad taking forever to chew. I have to be extra careful about it, too. I have an esophageal motility disorder, so stuff can get stuck if I swallow something too big... which leads to pain and/or vomiting. It's ironic that processed foods hardly ever get stuck and cause problems, while a nice…

CW 225.2 In my head, I keep seeing the numbers transposed, 262 instead of 226 or 252 instead of 225. I was in the 250s for a few years, so I guess my brain hasn't caught up with the scale. Has anyone else been reading the articles on ultra processed food on the Guardian this week? Interesting that a small study compared…

CW 228.2 Bleh, I weighed a pound and a half less yesterday. My hungry days track pretty well with my "didn't get enough sleep" days, and that was yesterday. Last night, too, so I'm going to be struggling today. On the positive side, in a burst of optimism I ordered a pair of jeans in a size smaller than I've been wearing.…

CW 229.0 Hi team! I keep meaning to post and getting distracted. One of the things I'm trying is a health diary. It occurred to me that if a gratitude diary is helpful in changing your perspective, then maybe I can use the same idea to learn to see myself as a health-conscious person who makes good choices. Every day I…

Hi team! How's everyone doing? I'm Ruth, 65F retired IT manager. I've lost about 30 lbs since last fall but I still need to lose a lot more. I've started to drift back into bad habits, especially too much snacking. I remembered using MFP to log my food a long time ago, so I made a new account and here I am. My current…
