Sunday Weigh In - April 27, 2014

[Barb135]

Good morning, everyone.... how are we all doing this morning?   Sorry, I'm running a bit late, but it's taken me a while to get caught up on forums, etc.

I did relatively well with my eating this past week, but haven't fared so well with exercise.  I, typically, had been walking for an hour every day, with my "winter neighbor".  She has now gone back to her home state for the summer and I'm left to my own devices.  I don't do so well for the first few days she's gone.  

Anyway, I have to own a 3 pound increase this week -- just happened overnight, so I have to put most of it down to fluid retention, though I did eat a few more calories yesterday (certainly not enough to gain 3 pounds, though...).  Yesterday, I did a lot of yard work, including trimming a palm tree with lots of thorns on it and I got stuck multiple times.  The thorns are almost like a "sting", so my hands are very sore and swollen this morning.  I'm going to soak them in some Epsom salt to see if that will relieve the swelling a bit. If not for the swelling, 6 hours of yard work, would have been excellent exercise, since it included a lot mowing with a push mower, which is both walking and strength training.

Okay - so that's my story and I'm sticking to it... lol   How are you doing this morning?  Hope everyone has had a successful week.  If you met the challenge goal of losing 1 pound, congratulations; you did great and hope you can keep it up.  If not, can you tell us what the stumbling block(s) were/are, so we can try to help you?  Maybe we can get back on track together.

Remember:  we win, by losing - weight.

Wishing everyone a great, successful week....

Hello everyone!

Barb sorry that you hands are sore but I love to garden too!  I worked some today with some plants.  Have you used the salts to bath in?  You soak for 20 minutes and you can add lavender and it helps with the water weight.  

Twokee. You had a great week keep up the great work!!

I can claim a 1lb loss.  I'm shocked though.  Really having trouble with the amount I'm eating.  I'm losing my motivation.  Just really not sure what's going on.  One point this week I basically threw up my arms and said screw it I'm eating this and if I gain my weight back so be it!   What do you guys do when and if you feel this way?

Hope you guys have a great week!  Hoping I can get my head back in the game!!!

Good afternoon. I had a good week with a 4lb lost. I'm starting to become bored with my eating.  I  trying  new stuff( yogurt shop, Mediterranean food). I want to feel like I did in the beginning.  So I'm going to set a alarm in the morning for my workouts.  Good luck for next week.
