Small gain but nothing major so that's good! Hope everyone has a nice week.

I just joined, but my goal for the rest of April is to avoid night time snacking and only eat until I am satisfied, not full.

weight today 193.7...

After a weekend away and no scale and deciding not to let anything stop me, I weighed in at 155 this morning.

However, I did get to go running again. I made 2 miles in 27:26 and it was my first run in several weeks because of my allergies. It felt good to get out and run and considering the hills on the trail, I think I did pretty good.

Aiming to readjust my snacking habits this week (again). I want to go and buy hummus and a bunch of veggies because I'll eat just about anything if it has hummus on it.

Welcome, SGT! Always glad to see another friendly face around here.

Way to go, CrunchyMama! You're inspiring me to get my carcass out of this chair, which has been holding me hostage since yesterday!

SO FRUSTRATED!!!!! I just need to throw a bit of a tantrum: WORKED to contain calories yesterday and kept cut off... but I had soup in the evening and drank water throughout the evening which apparently made me retain water b.c I did NOT just gain a pound overnight like that.

SO FREAKING TEMPTED TO throw paint all over the canvas and eat my way into oblivion BUT am going to take a deep breath, draw a line, and move on.


ARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!! /rant over.

(thanks guys)

Alexis, I totally feel your pain! There is nothing worse than an "undeserved" gain, and it almost always sets me off on an eating frenzy -- which of course leads to a "deserved" gain and then it's all downhill from there. Good for you for handling it in a much better fashion!

And welcome, SkinnyGirlTrapped (love that name)! Good goals!

Bummed about this bump for many reasons, but particularly because I am going out tonight. Restaurant food is not going to help! It's all in my belly -- I'm super bloaty -- bleh! On top of that, my hip has been sore, hence no run for 2 days. I should probably rest it again today, but it's tempting to get out there and burn!

I hope everyone else has a happier weigh-in than I did. Alexis, let's "hang in there" together!

Back in the saddle! April goal: below 130

4/14 132.8
4/15 133.8- way too much salty food
4/16 132.7
4/17 132.7
4/21 132.8

Quick motivational burst -
There are NINE MORE DAYS to APRIL, feather fleet!!!

WE CAN DO THIS!!!! Let's make it count!!!!

thesame ~I'm going out for restaurant food, too. Interestingly, most of the time it's not the actual restaurant that gets me, but the mindless grazing when I get home. My cals are already a bit high for the day (foolishly had a corn muffin for breakfast and entire avocado for lunch...) but all is NOT LOST!!!! Planning to make healthy choices for the rest of the day, get in some movement, hopefully a spot of yoga, and hopefully a good night of sleep.

We can do this!!! Good choices = good weigh ins (it's inevitable).

Hang in there everyone!!!

I am SO not motivated to exercise this week! And I didn't yesterday. I was busy doing some REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF, and really couldn't risk sweating.

SO - I'm considering vacuuming the whole house today, and mopping it tomorrow. But now I'm wondering if I could...what is going on? Don't know why I'm in such a slump. Mentally I'm good, though. It's just that I don't feel like moving.

BUT - I haven't NOT made weight in over a year, and that is pretty motivating. Hopefully that will propel me out of this chair in the next couple of hours, and I will MOP THIS HOUSE! I mean VACUUM THIS HOUSE!
