I'm so sorry you're still having so much trouble. :cry: Web hugs to you. Take care of yourself and hopefully you'll be well enough to join us soon. :heart:

okie dokie. Not a great weekend but better. Better is better! Today a kick-a** workout is in the queue. Let's do this!

My life is a ****show right now. But I am DETERMINED to maintain and to build muscle. And so I shall. Hopefully January will chill out so I can lose. But time will pass anyway. And I'd rather pursue what progress is realistic for me considering my challenges than beat myself up over what I can't do right now. And here we…

yeah. Well I have come to the realization that under current conditions, I'm not going to lose a thing. Hubs is going through things, which is sabotaging me. And is also hard to deal with, so STRESS. However, I didn't gain any more. I've increased weights workouts. And so until the first of the year I am DETERMINED to…

My last weekend was sabotaged and atrocious. I have gotten into a good little logging routine since Monday though. Still keeping up with workouts as best I can. Still planning on having a little of the foods I really want tomorrow and no more thanksgiving foods after. Girding myself to make my weekend better. Whatever it…

I'm here and still struggling. I'm getting the workouts in consistently. Working on paying more attention to hunger and satiety clues because I'm still having issues making myself log my food. And I'm working on better weekends. Still no scale movement but then the exercise and soreness is bound to mask anything anyway…

Saturday post (didn't remember to hit submit...ooopsie): I'm here I'm here. Nov 1st and 2nd were on plan and perfect. Friday was planned nonsense. My oldest dauther turned 21. I took her out and enjoyed Mexican but kept the carbs as low as possible and fasted until the meal. So I think I did alright. My second nonsense is…

November challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10902439/no-nonsense-november-2023/p1?new=1 It's ON, y'all. Enough is enough. Project Reclaim My PrePandemic Life commences Nov 1st

Personally, my goal for the next couple weeks is to not gain any more weight. :sweat_smile: Cuz I keep getting sabotaged from losing by my Saboteur and my mental health and crazy kid junk. Still working out though. Needing to add some walks on the weekend or something now that the weather will be less sweltery. I'm hoping…

sounds like goals to me :smile:

I am an unmitigated disaster as usual. :joy: Next month's challenge thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10900292/fearless-october-2023/p1?new=1

yeah here and trying to behave but getting sabotaged hard on the weekends. It's anniversary weekend coming up so there will be some drinks and camping (oh yay...when what I wanted was a romantic getaway with just us...too bad) so I won't be counting anything. I will try to walk often and minimize the damage. Meanwhile…

I'm here. It's a busy busy week, and I'm doing alright. Hoping I can have a better weekend with less sabotage. Didn't buy alcohol this week so I don't have that to contend with but I do miss it and am salty about it. But I'll deal with that as best I can. My life is aggravating sometimes. VERY VERY. I'm down 4.6lb this…

The weekend: DISASTER. Sabotaged by the Saboteur a lot. But... didn't drink any alcohol. Which is an improvement over recent weekends so a small win, I guess. Since that would have been booze calories on top of the munch-fest. Back to work and troubleshooting myself to make next weekend an improvement upon this last one.

so sorry you are having so much pain still. Take care of yourself. :heart:

9/7 & 9/8: cals: :+1: carbs: :+1: exercise: :+1: Thursday, leg day and low impact cardio. Friday though, none as kid events took up my workout time

9/6: cals: :-1: Had one more drink than I had budgeted for at Ladies Night. Was still a deficit but barely. But that's the last one until next month carbs: :+1: exercise: :+1: arm strength with dumbbells and 45 min of Sansone vids

9/5: cals: :+1: carbs: :+1: exercise: :+1: too much busy to work on that exercise room until later in the week. Everybody needs me to do something. I might just shave my head so the urge to rip out my hair isn't as strong. :neutral:

ayyyyyy. And here I am! Twinsies! yeah no dang kidding! I know I need to treat this like a part-time job. And be invested every day and accountable. I know what I need to do...I need to do it. So. Goals.* About that booze. No drinking except the once monthly Ladies Night. Keep it to low-carb drinks, ma'am. And I have an…

Alright. I'm been muddling through and been doing a terrible job. I'm pushing 200lb, and yeah I'm tall but not that tall. I refuse to buy new clothes. I refuse to let things slide any further. I've had a very hard year. Getting older and those complications, people in my life being so dramatic, and struggling with my…

Next month's challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10898203/step-it-up-september-2023/p1?new=1

I am a whole mess. Perimenopause has my body betraying me at every turn. I just keep gaining weight and not doing well. I need to start forcing myself to do the hard things. The sacrifices. Throw out the bad habits I've let creep in. I have to log my food and weigh daily to lose weight. I need accountability. I have to…

August challenge ready finally: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10896297/lc-boot-camp-active-august-2023/p1?new=1

I remembered. :joy: Next month's challenge is up: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10893846/get-dat-rear-in-gear-july-2023-challenge/p1?new=1 I'll probably join y'all once I get back from the wilderness, mid next week

June challenge up: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10891627/jump-in-june-2023-challenge/p1?new=1

Here we are: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10889697/spring-into-a-new-you-may-2023-challenge/p1?new=1 Now I go off to try to figure out what it is I was doing before I noticed it was the end of the month and this needed done. :lol:

Sorry I haven't gotten the next month's challenge thread up yet. My oldest son brought covid home from college, and it has consumed me for the last 2 weeks, first caring for the sick kids as they fell like dominoes, and then coming down with it myself. Oh the brain fog and fatigue. I can't seem to clear it, still testing…

Next month's challenge: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10887562/active-april-2023-challenge/p1?new=1

I'm going to check that out, I think. I have been slowly collecting peri symptoms every year and these past 2 have gotten harder and harder. I can't seem to keep this stupid 10-15 pounds away, even if I manage to get them off. I keep floating back up to them. And I can't manage to lose anything right now. I'm just lucky to…

Well look at me being almost on time for a change :joy: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10885438/march-mindfulness-challenge-2023/p1?new=1
