We've got this!

Thinking of you and hope things are going well!

I think it's a lot harder on her, because she's in a strange place full of strangers and starting a new job. She and I have been talking regularly, and I'm back to my normal routine. My biggest stressor has been work. We are down two people in my area, leaving me as the only person left, and I'm overwhelmed with work. I've been putting in 10-11 hour days, am woefully behind, and I just want to go home and eat away everything. I've had some struggles (Monday = Cheetos and wine for dinner, and last night = dinner plus 4 granola bars as a "snack")...but I'm doing well more days than not. It looks like you're losing weight, even if it's not as much as you were hoping for? I hope things are going okay with your parents' care and you are getting some help. Just keep taking it one day at a time...we can do this!

Woohoo, we BOTH are doing this! I'm so glad you made round 1 too. You must have been ahead of your goal to make the weigh in after a gain! You are also a rockstar!

I've been thinking of you too. Amazing you made the one month bet--those are so tough! I was at goal for this transformer earlier in the week, and then the scale went up for a few days. I celebrated my birthday yesterday evening, so I was sure this round was a loss, but the scale was back down this morning (I can never predict what the scale will do!). I hope the scale worked in your favor this weekend too!

Of course you didn't need to tell me you were going to a wedding, but I'm glad to hear that's the reason you've been absent! Weddings themselves are challenging, not to mention travelling and being away from your comfort zone. It's such a blessing that you were able to come back to a grocery order of healthy food. My last grocery trip included both potato chips and frozen yogurt. I'm so proud of you for sticking with this!

So glad we're back! We can do this!
