Forgetting to log in on Nerd Fit. I did keep tabs on my weight on a piece of paper so that was something. I guess the most valuable thing I learned is that the weekends are what is messing me up. *cue losing video game music* * (pictured above, me encountering a weekend)

Start 225.6 Week 1 : 225 Week 2: 224 Week3: 224.6 Week4: 224.6 Week 5: 221.3 I hit a new weight bracket and was in the teens but it crept back up some on Monday. Regardless, it's a loss!

The first and only time I played DnD I was a Druid. Loved being able to go bear shape and carry people or wail on the baddies. I enjoyed it a lot but was wanting to try a rogue at the end. However the fever dream of a character I want to make for lolz would be a Satyr that is a Bard. xD

It is so hard when everyone else is getting the sweets and you have to bear with it! I read in the Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal that sometimes setting a 10 minute timer can help break the urge! If you still want it after that then go for it, but sometimes 10 minutes is all you need to get yourself out of the restaurant and into the car too! Tell me about this floor sitting, is it supposed to be beneficial for posture? I feel like I learn something new every time I read your thread ❤️

Nice work! Wish I could pull an Osborne with my challenges sometimes!

Weekly check in! I have crawled back up onto the heroes path my friends. If on your travels you see a bedraggled ranger with chocolate stains around her mouth, leaves in her hair, and a somewhat sheepish look on her face, be sure to wave- it me. Managed to not slip slide away on Monday's weigh day and maintained where I was. Have been getting an almost daily walk. Water is still ehhhh. I did a dirty fast for 2 1/2 days this week. I love the health benefits of fasting, and used to be and IF-er but after baby #2 kinda needed have around the clock meals and fell out of the habit. I'm thinking of starting IF up again but even if I don't I do enjoy the occasional once every couple months dirty fast option. Noticed that my joints feel better after fasting some and my energy went shoom thru the roof. It's amazing what you can get done when you are avoiding food. And holy cow the weight loss. I have been pondering on using food to motivate myself to meet my goals. Kinda like the proverbial carrot on a stick but more of a corn dog instead. Like, if I meet my small goal of a certain number of pounds, I get to go treat myself to a Korean Corn Dog which I've always wanted to try. Or some other food that would motivate me to work hard. I would have to be careful to keep it just at one meal of fun, which has me wondering if I could do it. I am a total foodie though so this type of reward would be really exciting for me. P.S. - My husband also joined the forum!

Stayed the same, which I am SOOO grateful for because I blew it Wed-Fri. Sometimes I wish I could log the scale I have AFTER Mondays. Tuesday's and Wednesdays are always lower than my Monday. But then...the weekend happens. The weekends keep thwarting me, but I am determined to make it through this one with a loss.

Mm BBQ. BBQ season is indeed upon us. Praise God.

A light phone is a super basic phone. I can get calls, texts, and podcasts with it. They just added a directions feature, but I have a GPS so I don't use that feature. It's been nice to get control of my life. With my iPhone I felt like instead of me getting to use it, it used ME! Woop woop! Way to go staying under! I agree with Harriet, a beer is a lovely way to spend those extra calories. And fancy beer is even better. What kind did you end up drinking?

Hope you are feeling better today! Half-orc bard made me lol- love it. 😄

Where do you find your workouts at? Do you make them up or is there a program, they sound awesome. Congratulations on defeating Level 16!

Way to go with your walking! Staying off the phone is hard business. Last year I got a light phone and I definitely feel it has helped me stay present. Don't even get me started on chocolate.
