@raleighgirl09 I was trying to talk myself out of it because I was super tired, like in tears tired...and wanted to go home and go to sleep. I had my streak going though so I didn't want to mess it up...but I really wanted sleep. I could've fallen asleep sitting up in my car I was so tired. Great job getting your 2 walks…

@TwistedSassette Thank you so much. I’m really trying to break old habits and leave them in the past. I hope you start feeling better soon. Not easy dealing with flu and COVID this time of year. @TeresaW1020 I am very proud of myself and a little shocked. LOL I’m just glad that I didn’t break my streak. Regaining my…

Well, considering my name is Gretchen Reine...I can't judge!

@GabiV125 When is yours???

@raleighgirl09 That's so awesome! I haven't been around nearly enough so I didn't know about the stitches. Just make sure you listen to the doctor and your body!!! <3

@twistedsassette Thank you very much! I’m actually looking forward to it…which feels weird in itself! LOL @TeresaW1020 Thanks! Yeah last year I had trouble with consistency, food, exercise, sleep…yeah pretty much life. I’m the type of person that if I don’t workout and I don’t weigh myself…then food is a free for all. It’s…

Happy Monday everyone! This year I'm focusing on me for a change. I haven't really set goals as far as weight goes...because I have to much to lose and that would be overwhelming. 2020 was a crap year for me...as I know it was for many people. Despite having the desire to lose weight...I just couldn't. I ended up being way…

New Year weigh-in: SW (1/1/2021): 312.4 1/6/2021: 1/13/2021: 1/20/2021: 1/27:2021: 2/1/2021: LTD: Sorry I didn't post this on the 1st. I kinda thought I did. I will resume my regularly scheduled weigh-ins on Wednesday.

Good morning and Happy Friday! I've done a pretty good job with food this week although I need to start logging it again. I am not consistent with that at all! I have gotten in my water almost every day this week. I absolutely positively hate water. I'm sick of it. BUT...I am doing my gallon a day! My goal is to finish off…

@TwistedSassette Thank you! Honestly, all I did differently was try to eat a little less and make sure I was getting all of my water in. I hope you had a great time at your Secret Santa! Happy Thursday everyone! Every other week I work remote (this week is one of those weeks) and I find that I'm much more sedentary when…

@TeresaW1020 I’ll have to take a look at that book. Unfortunately, IF won’t work for me. I’ve had gastric bypass and my body has certain nutrients I need to get in throughout the day and I can’t cram it all into a shorter period. It is physically impossible. I just need to work on better choices and serving sizes. Luckily,…

Good morning everyone! I haven't yet mastered the acknowledging everyone separately...I don't know how you remember all of the names to do the @ with...but...I'll work on it. I'm really trying to do this and am not sure how to. I guess my first focus needs to be my food and water intake. A struggle I have with living with…

Good morning. Things have been so crazy here. My knee is finally improving and I'm going to attempt to walk on the treadmill this afternoon. It's an excuse to see my son no matter how long my workout lasts. It'll probably be a very slow walk because I don't want to irritate it again. I have court tomorrow (for my ex) so I…

GretchenReine Wednesday Weigh-in December 1: 307.2 December 2: 308.8 December 9: December 16: December 23: December 30: I am not looking forward to battling weight through the holidays...but...I'm going to do it anyways!!!

Good morning! I haven't been able to be active for about a week now because of knee pain and what I think is a shin splint. It hurts a lot to walk or even move my leg. It's starting to improve so I'm hoping to get out and get a little bit of a walk in today at least. The scale just keeps going up and down every day since I…

GretchenReine Wednesday Weigh-in (which was actually yesterday) November 1: 302.6 November 4: 300.2 November 11: 300.8 November 18: 307.4 The quarantine kicked my butt. This was my first time doing it since I've worked through the entire pandemic. I do NOT know how people handle that mess!!!

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and reading all of these posts definitely helps. Everyone is doing so well while still facing adversity...and that's what I have to remember...we all have struggles. Sometimes I think that I'm the only one facing them because my life is the one I…

Good morning and Happy Monday! Two weeks of quarantine was ridiculous and painful and hopefully I don't go through that again. I would like to remind people...if you don't feel well...STAY HOME!!! Quite honestly, I'm hoping my co-worker isn't back until he is completely better. I hope the safeguards are put in place to…

GretchenReine Wednesday Weigh-in November 1: 302.6 November 4: 300.2 November 11: 300.8 Sorry that I'm not using my regular format. I'm at home and my word document is on my work computer. I've been quarantined for 2 weeks due to COVID exposure at work...so...I'm improvising. LOL

Good morning y'all! I managed to make it to the gym for an hour on the treadmill yesterday. It felt good to do it. I didn't even dread it, which was a milestone for me. I'm trying my best to take it one day at a time while still setting goals for myself for the upcoming month/holidays. I'm the type of person who has to…

@TeresaW1020 Thank you. That was a good read. I need to do better about checking in more. I'm struggling with getting myself onto any sort of schedule. I know I need to. I know once I do that the habit becomes easier to maintain...but getting there is just so freaking hard this time. There is just so much going on in life…

@TeresaW1020 I'll get all of my weights together and get them to you. I'll stick with my Wednesday weigh-in since that's when I still do it. I just try to ignore it even though I get on the scale that day.

So, if I fell off the wagon do I wait and rejoin next month??? Life has seriously kicked me while I've been down and I don't know how this all works.
