Where you at, bro? @Teancum

I'm around, just taking a break from the forums for a while! It was getting to be a bit more time than I could commit. Thanks for checking in on me though!

You should know I started reading (actually, listening to) Mistborn and it's awesome!! Almost done the first book

Yikes! That's scary! Also I might have missed it, where are you for work now? 

Ghostess has a nice Halloweeny ring to it! 

Looking good! Here again!

Over already?  I still have some more memes I haven't posted yet...

Nice! I had a few more too:

Wait, week 4? Apparently the challenge is over! They always seem to go so fast. I'll do a challenge report at some point. One nice side effect of this cold is that my appetite has decreased significantly, so I lost a few pounds this week!

Any thoughts on what caused you to derail both years around this time? Weather/ work/ family/ holidays/ health? Could help you combat it, if you know the warning signs of oncoming blahs.

I think a mix of holidays and weather. My birthday is shortly followed by Thanksgiving (Canadian), and then Halloween starts happening. So there ends up being lots of food and candy and baking around. Add to that the coldness and darkness starting up, and I seem to start going into "fatten up for hibernation" mode. I'm still not quite sure how to fight it though. I think I really need to get my wife on board somehow, but that's proved difficult. 

Terrible cold today, but had to go to work anyway. And of course I get it the day before I have to drive my sister to the airport early in the morning. Hopefully it's a good night tonight.

Ugh. Things aren't going so well. It was around this time last year that things went south bad and I gained all my weight back. I haven't really lost much since then anyways, but I definitely don't want things to go that direction again.

You and me both. Glad to see you are back on your game

It's a nightmare haha

Good to be back! I felt pretty awful when I was overeating so much. I don't know why I can never seem to remember that feeling the next time. Free food is always my weakness. Anyways, back now, and ready to go!

That sounds like a horrible work schedule. Good luck, happy birthday, and see you next week.

Yes, luckily it doesn't happen often.

Sorry to hear this week isn't going well, but don't worry, you can pick things back up next week and run from there  

 

I've been waiting for the thanos one! I think it's my favourite I've seen so far!! 

Teancum just doesn't do it. 

I'm officially taking week two off. Getting messed up by working a day and a night and a day in a row, also having birthday things, and traveling the rest of the week, I am setting myself up for failure, which in my current mindset would set me back more than a one week break I think. So this week is a write off, but I'll be back and ready to go in week three!! 

I was still snacky today, but calories turned out ok. The strong desire to eat (it's not even hunger, it's weird) is annoying, but that's life I guess. On the plus side, I weighed today and only gained 0.6 lbs, managing to stay under 280, so that was a pleasant surprise.
