Well my youngest did cook last night but came home chilled from a walk in the rain and we ate very late last night. It was delicious home cooked Chinese food. Pickle fish soup, King oyster mushrooms sauteed with scallions and eggs with tomato. My husband and I also went for a walk but during a break in the rain. Since we…

You are taking what I said out of context. If you keep what I was saying in context it would be that a body of a person that had a lower bodyfat % would likely be heavier than the very same body of a person with a higher % body fat all else being equal. Or that a cubic foot of muscle would weigh more than a cubic foot of…

Hello all, I have read all your posts since I last posted but I am not going to comment on all of them. Basically what I am doing right now is trying to establish a healthy routine which includes working full time. I am now only commuting 2 days a week (working at home the other 3). These 2 days basically dictate when I…

@pamperedlinny I just read your reply to someone on this thread and I think it may help me with my logging issue. It made me realize I can for now just log my food in my journal and not worry about getting on MFP everyday now that I am working and don't feel like getting on the computer again after work. Later I can bring…

I am struggling to log food etc during the work week. Last week was going to be the start of my regular hybrid work schedule but I ended going in to the office an extra day which meant missing an aquafit opportunity that morning. Also it is hard cooking at home as well. So I have been varying between 245 and 246 depending…

@misscourtneya exercise helps you lose weight by upping your metabolism and of course using calories however when you increase your exercise it may not result in weight loss right away. If you increase your exercise or do weight training your muscles can retain water for a while. Water intake can help but keep a moderate…

@RavenStCloud best wishes with the job search. I just finished one. After the last interview that went well I said to myself no more interviews! I was doing so many of them. I knew I was about to get an offer from another job but ended up with the place who I had my last interview with instead. It took 5 months but I know…

Well as usual I am gaining weight with my new job. However the 1st 2 weeks involve working in the office more days and I was not able to go to aquafit on the days I commute. I thought I had to go in all week but Thursday afternoon my boss asked if I was set up at home to work and that she didn’t need me to work in the…

So we have done Aquafit Monday, Wednesday and today as planned. I did one walk Tuesday so I need to do more of that. I can feel it. My husband is on the phone to schedule our COVID Booster and will get the flu vaccine at the same time. I finally got my teeth cleaned this week and have a Drs appointment next month and need…

I am eating more calories lately but not above maintenance especially considering exercise. I have doing aqua aerobics 3 times a week and a few walks in as well for the last 2 weeks if I go to the pool on Friday. If I bring my calories down I should start to lose. I find it hard to get on the scale on the days we go to the…

I am posting more now because I can. Just wait till I start working fulltime. I plan to check in regularly but not so much. I don’t have to look for a job and I am focusing on my health now. My husband came with me today to aquafit after taking our youngest to the transit station so it was later than we wanted. Next week…

Well I accepted a job offer. Yay! No more interviews! I promised myself a walk today and I just completed that. So 2 aquafit sessions and a walk so far for the week. Tomorrow is aquafit again and then a walk Friday. This time around I need to not stop exercising and not stop logging and not start gaining weight with a new…

I started the weekdays with aquafit this morning. I went on my own this time. There were less people since I went early and I think I can use the locker room a bit since so few people were there. Usually I sometimes have a hard time filling in an hour and forget exercises but haven’t been having this issue now. I plan to…

We went to the Y this morning and did Aquafit for the 1st time since the start of the Pandemic! It wasn’t a class it is on the pool schedule as water walking but basically it was adult pool time where half was lane swimming and half was open for adults to do their own water exercise. I felt it was safe this morning and it…

Hello I am back from Hawaii. It was a busy week with the funeral and family things. I couldn't really track food well but I tried to do aquafit in the hotel pool when things allowed. There were days with walking but wasn't tracking. This morning when I woke up at home and had to face the scale I said if I just don't go…

This weekend I blew my logging in day count. It started with having dinner with my Mom Friday which I feel was important. Losing a mother-in-law made me feel I shouldn’t take my mother for granted. All us kids take turns calling/checking in each week but I have been wanting to get together in person. We see each other when…

It has been a while since I have gotten on here and I did read all the posts since last time I posted so I didn’t try to tag everyone and in fact wasn’t planning to tag at all but did some. Life seems to be picking up (pace) lately despite being unemployed. I have applied to enough jobs that I have been getting interviews.…

@Alatariel75 Glad you are making an adjustment for having COVID now. Listen to your body once you are over it and can start to recover. Until then take care. @TeacherMamaJen I like your goals. @CupcakeCrusoe Yes Disney and back to school is enough. I agree the pole classes are adventurous too. Good luck on completing and…

Just looking at my spreadsheet and my weight app. My weight app shows my highs going down and my lows going down. It doesn't show any weights in the 250's this month but my spreadsheet shows a week early in this month where I was in the low 250's (251 for 2 days and the rest 250.x). Otherwise I have stayed in the 240s this…
