No gain, no loss. Was an "off" week for me. Busy at work, as usual. Getting ready for boss to go on vacation in July so that just means more late nights until then - then I'm on kinda vacation for a month!!. I really need to think about working out earlier before work, but it's so hard to get up and go in the mornings when I get home so late and then to bed late the night before. An excuse, I know, so I need to think on this and what I'm gonna do about it. I did well over the weekend and got a lot of exercise in. On Monday, my sister was traveling thru my town so I got the evening off and had dinner with her before she went further south. So, no exercise Monday. However, she's started weight watchers so we both did well with our food choices (shared a meal). On Tuesday, worked til 10 pm and came home starving. Ate two bagels for dinner (one with cream cheese and one with peanut butter - was craving carbs apparently). Wednesday drove to my moms after work (she lives an hour away) to spent the night with her. She had just had carpal tunnel surgery the day before. So, again, no exercise as we just visited together. Her surgery was on her right hand so we were trying to think of what she could eat easily (and quickly since I didn't come with a prepared meal). She suggested pizza but I nixed that idea as I knew I wouldn't stop at just the 1-2 slices if we'd ordered the whole pie. So, we did the next most logical (not) thing and I grabbed a burger and fries from In-and-Out. Yummmmmm. Finally, last night, I was off work early enough that I went to the gym and spent an hour and 15 mins there. I think that's what must've kept me from gaining from the burger and fries. So, the no loss/no gain was okay with me. I'm very hopeful that next week I'll lose big (as last week was only 1 lb loss) and maybe, just maybe, I'll be in Onederland! I think I'll be monitoring my weight all week just to keep myself on track. We have BBQ scheduled tomorrow with our bff's, but I'm confident that will go well since baldwin5 and I will keep each other on track. Hope everyone has a great week! Thanks again for "listening..."

That is a busy week!! Great job finding some balance in those crazy times and managing a flat line on the scale. So cool that you have a partner is real life to keep you accountable. I'm on my own lol I understand not wanting to get up early to get that workout in, I am NOT a morning person. I have done it before though, and I know you can do it too. It's all about making a commitment and sticking to it. One or Two mornings a week is still better than no mornings, start small. Nothing about this is all or nothing, all about progress. I hope you have a wonderful weekend kiki!!

Lol! Thanks Yo and Bwy! I like the suggestion of starting one or two mornings a week at the gym. I've done it before and know it made my day better when I did. I think that'll be a good goal for next week. One morning at the gym. Not giving up - no way, no how!! Clothes are fitting better - smaller sizes and have gained a few "new" (old) outfits that were ousted to the back of the closet. Celebrating these little things!!

Busy, busy, i find even 15 minutes walking before work helps jump start my day, helps my energy all day. At some exercise to get the day going and no what my day turns into I've at least done that.

My life is busy too, so i try my best drag myself out of a few minutes early, doesn't work everyday but my incentive is how good it makes me feel.

I love my gym workouts, this time if year they are hard to do, baseball season for the grandkids is over in a few weeks so more time for those after that.

I agree! I love it during and after - I don't understand why my brain is holding me back from just getting there. I'm just gonna start doing it! Thanks for putting it in perspective!
