@Alatariel75 - Don't beat yourself up too much. We all have our moments. I like your plan on keeping things simple but not going the opposite direction. If it makes you feel any better, I also had an evening of eating all the things in the pantry. I had some time to myself and focused on getting in some class reading but…

I'm Joann, I'm 44, live in Alberta and work full time in Public Health. I'm slowly taking my MPA doing a finance course this semester. I have a 10 year old daughter and 2 year old German shepherd dog that keeps us active. I'm glad January is over and was pleased with my focus on not snacking in the evening. I found I slept…

@MaddawgMadsen - You have pushed through with your job for so long and advocated for yourself. There's only so much you can control and if your counterpart is that difficult I can understand why you need to move. And on top of that your wallet! - very crummy week. Hugs to you. Hope your meeting went well. @ashleycarole86 -…

@MaddawgMadsen - So good to hear everything ended up going well with your mom and the lawyer, I'm sure it wasn't easy. @Lauren_989 - wishing for a quick recovery. I'm slowly going back into some old habits of evening snacking the last 3 days. I'm an emotional eater when I'm stressed and starting to feel it with my finance…

@MaddawgMadsen It sounds like you and your sister are doing something really thoughtful and important for your mom and your family, even if your mom doesn't see it. It’s never an easy conversation to have. I’m sending lots of good thoughts and positive energy your way today—I hope the meeting goes smoothly and helps ease…

@micki48 - give yourself some grace. I try when I'm too tired to just break things down in smaller tasks, perhaps I can't get to the laundry, but I'll put in one load and get to the others another day. That way I feel like I made some progress. Also, if you need help it's ok to ask for it. @strong_fit_ells - Happy…

@micki48 - Sending thoughts to your friends and hope your granddaughter kept warm. So devastating what is going on in California. I love the cold and snow - perhaps it's because I'm in a cold climate and it's part of life. I have 3 winter coats all for different weather conditions and bundle up to get out. I don't let the…

@ashleycarole86 - hugs to you. Hope things turn around for you. @MaddawgMadsen - wow what a fantastic race - intimidating but so exciting @Alatariel75 - what an adorable pup. The weather is warming up and I've been getting all my exercise and walks in. I'm trying to adjust being in the office more full-time, before the…

@Alatariel75 what a huge accomplishment, high-five to you. @conleywoods Keep up the great work. PW 165.5 CW 163.2 Surprised that I saw a loss considering my movement was down last week. I'm off to Texas next week for 10 days and excited to see some warmer weather and spend time with family. I won't be able to weigh in the…

CW 165.6 @Gidgitgoescrzy - your menu sounds delightful. I'll be enjoying my weekend up north mostly indoors as we had a big dump of snow but my dog is loving it. I'm still recovering from this respiratory virus I caught last week, it's lingering longer than I want. Happy Thanksgiving !!
-
@strong_fit_ells - you are so strong and we are here for you. I will ask to not weigh in. I've come down with some kind of cold/flu and left with little energy. We did get a good dump of snow and my dog is loving it. No reason not to bundle up and go for a walk.
-
@fourathomej - don't blame you about being exhausted, working at Hallmark can't be easy this time of year. @Gidgitgoescrzy - great work this week @MaddawgMadsen - great job limiting alcohol this week. @Kali225 - welcome back. Those pics seem dreamy @wishfuljune wow what a week you've had. Great job sticking with healthier…

Hi team I haven't been on here the last week but still around and getting through a heavy week of work and class. PW 166 CW 167.2 Not great and I realize it's partly from some late night snacking. Will bet back to tracking for Nov as that seems to keep me focused on that bad habit.
-
Some great losses the last few days. Great job all. @Gidgitgoescrzy I too had a snacky night where I just wanted to eat it all and I did. Today I got in some time outside and finished up an assignment that makes me feel better about today and moving forward. Not letting a set back keep me from doing the next right thing.…
-
@Gidgitgoescrzy Think the hair looks great PW 165 CW 166 Week has been hit or miss. Work has been busy and my classes are picking up with assignments and due dates. Next 2 weeks will be busy but also going to schedule myself well to manage my case load and not rely on snacks to get me through.

@Jen_967 Really hoping you get some answers. Not knowing can be the toughest part. @ashleycarole86 Love seeing your travels and too bad it's a rough time getting back on your feet. PW 166.2 CW 165.0 Lots of turkey this weekend for Thanksgiving. Going to enjoy time with good food and family but balance with some activity…

@ashleycarole86 and @bowens1973 feel better soon. I know so many people who either have COVID or sick @strong_fit_ells wow fantastic step count @Kali225 love that you can get out kayaking still. It's getting a little too cold around here for it. Having said that we have been getting a few warm days and I'm loving fall.…

@Gidgitgoescrzy - I had the same struggle with screen time and gravitating to my social apps. I had to remove the apps for a while and now I have a screentime limit for my social media. For the most part I follow it and find I'm not as anxious and able to be more present with my family. It's always going to be a struggle…

PW - 164.2 CW - 164.6 Thought I would see a decline but not this week. My daughter had her first day of grade 5 today. She was so excited and I love this time of year with all the fresh starts. Summer is coming to an end.
