Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:172.9 CW:173.2 LTD: 33.8 Sorry that I have been MIA this week. Work was less stressful but still busy. I also had a busy week doing dance mom duties. The scale was up all week which really frustrated me. My calories have been under and I have been increasing intentional exercise…

Sorry @Megan_smartiepants1970 , I’ve been running errands and doing laundry

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:173.9 CW: 172.9 LTD: 34.1 Pretty solid week. Today, I will write out my calendar for the next few weeks so that my husband is aware and can help. Got my repeat labs back and the calcium is still high along with some slightly elevated kidney functions. My parathyroid hormone (PTH)…

@lelbarou, @lindamtuck2018 , @iradi8 & @Bluetail6 - thank you for the words of encouragement. One of the biggest things stressing me out about work and my boss is that I think he is gearing up for retirement sooner than later and I am in line to move up and that is stressing me out with how to balance it all. I know that I…

I have already checked out Dark Horse and planned to follow his videos

Sitting down to eat increases your mindfulness around eating. It’s a task to train your mind to stop the mindless eating like having an extra slice of cheese or meat while standing at the counter making a sandwich.

When were trying to decide I referred to it as the Peleton and the C2 as “the one that I want”. I will definitely use the connected part of it. I was planning on using Asensei with the C2. I just didn’t see the need for the extra cost. But I am anxious to get started too since we still aren’t comfortable going into a gym…

You are not being neurotic at all. You need to do what’s best for you. I have made some unpopular decisions during this like turning many invitations down and keeping my daughter out of her dance studio for an entire year (she went back this week due to infection numbers being low, encouraging vaccination numbers but…

@Bluetail6 - you look FANTASTIC 🤩 @Beautyofdreams - tracking macros is not really that hard. I have a spreadsheet that averages all of my metrics each week. I shoot for a weekly average and don’t sweat one day over or under. Hitting protein minimum is most important and staying under carb and fat is next. I like to hit…

My husband got impatient and we ordered the NoricTrack. It should be here before my anticipated order date for the C2.

Plan out you week and try eat fewer calories than normal to “bank” for Saturday and/or add exercise and don’t eat the calories back to bank. Is Sunday your weigh day? Can you weigh in on Saturday instead this week. Bottom line, plan for your celebration and then just enjoy it. Even if you do end with a bump up, don’t sweat…

If you think that’s bad, you’d really hate it when it gets to 120*F (48.9*C) 🥵

I composed thoughtful replies to all of you but stepped away from my phone for a few minutes to do something for the kids. When I got back to the phone it refreshed as soon as I opened it and I lost everything. To those not feeling well, I hope you feel better. @Bluetail6 - I’m glad you avoided a potential catastrophe To…

 Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:172.5 CW: 173.9 LTD: 33.1 I knew that I would be up from last week. That weight of 172.5 was one of those one-time lows that give you encouragement but you know it's too good to be true and won't stick. For that reason, I am switching my method to the weekly average that I am…

Yes, many times. I do not have a new grill yet. I met with someone to add a built in BBQ and I talked about spending hours designing it. It will take a few weeks before it’s done and I am so excited.

@heatherbluebell - meal prepping is a great way to set you up for a successful week. @lcfa5317 - enjoy your time with your mom @Bluetail6 - you pictures remind me of exactly the reason I moved from the East Coast to the desert ... shoveling and the cold @lindamtuck2018 , @lelbarou and @iradi8 - reading your issues with…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - have you looked at a foot specialty store? It might make a difference if you get something that is more supportive @lelbarou - I’m so glad you are feel better.

@Beautyofdreams - I hope it’s not as bad as last time. Take it easy until you get cleared by your doctor. Your weight loss is amazing, my plan when I get to goal is to keep 10s and never allow myself to get any bigger @TheresaM787 - I am currently bribing my son with extra time on his electronics if he hits an average…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - if it’s not one thing it’s another. Hope the vitamin B helps. Have you ever had zipfizz? It’s an energy powder you mix in water that is a bunch of vitamins, not caffeine. It has a lot of vitamin B and it really does give me a boost. You can get it at Costco or Amazon @lindamtuck2018 - sorry you…
