Okay, I am dreading the doctor appointment coming up in a few weeks. If I don't get down past 320lbs, Then it's gonna weigh me higher on the scale there. Luckily I get paid from work next week, and I can join the cardio and weight room at the local rec center. I know it will be $30th a month for both (which is $15th each) but I look forward to it. I was going to like a day support program anyway. Way too much drama and plus it's holding me back from what I need to be doing. When you are in a group home or home like me there is a thing called a care plan. Everyone has those. Where I am considered in the majority of the southwest VA services one of the very few to have the opportunity to one day be on their own, I had taken advantage of that to work on that stuff. With GED coming back, I am able to go to it now right after my 2 weeks notice is up with the day support program. That program held me back from doing my care plan. I wasn't able to do a lot of the stuff I needed to do during the day cause I was on the go with that 3 days a week. I am happy that the classes are gonna start soon. I was going to the classes before COVID started. I had to take the upgraded preGED test before this happened. I had a set back in class where I was brought back down to where I orginated from. But I was making progress and then when everything shut down, I had kinda forgot what I learned. I did2 think it would start up again from the way things looked. Everything looked that way. Even the weight room at the rec you had to make an appointment for. I was doing everything before COVID. I was losing weight, I was working, I was going into places feeling okay about everything. I mean I am a germaphobe to some extent. But COVID put me on edge of stuff. I was buying household items for myself And all kinds of stuff. Now that the band is lifted, I feel a bit better. But, there still a lot of people on edge about face masks. Even when I had all my shots it's still not good enough. Like what is the point if you are still gonna go crazy if someone who had the shots isn't wearing a face mask? Honestly I don't feel like fighting over a face mask. All I can say if you got a problem talk to the governor who lifted the band. I don't think it's right for that. but people can be so weird. Happy Thursday y'all! It's grind time!

You are clearly a problem solver and like JP said, you can do it! Keep those positive thoughts at the forefront and move forward and if there's a setback, look at it as an opportunity to regroup and figure out a different way to reach your goals. 👍❤✔

It's great that you lost weight before and that you exercise. I find that if I want or need to lose weight I have to cut out all sweets and those things that turn to sugar in our body like bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, and limit sweet things even carrots, and bananas, mangoes, pineapple, etc. It's tough to be sure. Can you fill up on salad and vegetables that grow above ground? I wish you the best and rooting for you.

COVID lockdown affected us all and really put a stop to a lot of activities. I have gained a bunch of weight this last year and hear what you are saying. Get right back on that saddle! If you did it before, you can do it again! Best of luck to you!
