(And ANY and ALL "NEWBIES"!)

Well...its Saturday, today is my "Rest Day"... I was going to go to a POUND Class today though since I really enjoyed it the last time I went, but other things came up so hopefully next time they have it I can go......

Anxiety up a little the past few days, ....so trying to hang in.

Was on track with eating and working out throughout the week,... but Husband went out of town lastnight so wasn't able to take our Evening hike through the neighborhood and I won't go without him.... I feel like this may have hindered the results I was looking for today since I didn't sweat as much as I would have liked to yesterday, but I still have positive results Just not what I was expecting though.

My son is over to visit and spend the weekend, so just going to chill with him after he gets off work......We have a light rain and dreary here today, so looks like It will be a "movie" kind of day indoors. Hope everyone else has been doing well this week. :)

Well , comparing to the week before that one , this was a good week. Less stress , Anxiety & depression. I started to feel good and I put a plan to start working out & being healthy again , so hopefully I will start this week 💪💪

I lost weigght...

I managed to swim 28 continuous laps - a new personal best.

I went hiking earlier today. It was a workout, but after four hours of hiking out and about, I didn't feel tired and I was more than happy to keep going (but my group wanted to head back).

I'm finally active enough to be able to eat ~1,000 calories per meal; I've always wanted to be someone that can eat loads and not gain weight. Previously, I would only eat a maximum of ~400 calories per meal to keep myself at a healthy calorie deficit.

@PoliteOcean

How has everyone been this past week? I have been pretty good :)

What goals have you reached or made? I was social. Which is rare for me!

What have been your highs or lows? High is being promoted and starting my new job, but being on my period has been a drag

@PoliteOcean

So I'm kind of in a new situation, in between temporary moves and all, in a completely new city for a new job...so I had to pause some of the things I have been doing, such as going to the gym, eating very healthy every day, etc.

But, I do try to eat at least some fruit with my meager meals. The job I took this summer requires eight straight days of camping every two weeks, so most of what I've been eating lately has been freeze dried meals and dried 'snack sized' food so it's easier to carry and store.

On the very plus side, I've been getting loads of hiking in because, well, it's part of the job. :D And I almost never forget my tea during the day.

Well I managed an awesome deal on a last minute airline ticket - $79 one way :-) and got to travel and spend a week with my best friend. We haven't seen each other in person in about 3 years and she's going through a real rough patch. We spent a day and a wonderful Celtic Festival, and got to hang out and relax and chill.

My highs for the week - were seeing and reconnecting with her. The Celtic Festival which really made me happy. And also being reinspired to dream big and go for everything in life I want. And I made sure to have a appointment with my sponser while I was there - so that I was taking care of myself as well

The lows were too much bad food - LOL, and getting pulled too much into her negativity. But I did manage to use that to see how I want to change my life for the better and also ways that I could possibly inspire or help her out of her situation.

A mostly bad week but with a good ending. Father's Day was Sunday which was my first without my dad, and I was sad all day. I exercised and ate good meals this week, but drank too much and once I start drinking I eat too much candy. On Friday night though, my younger son and I went and spent the night near the mountains. On Saturday morning we met up with my older son, his friend, his girlfriend, and her mother and we went on a 5 hour hike up a mountain including a fun rock scramble at the top. I did this hike last year with my older son and it is very challenging for me. I can't do the full 9-mile loop, so we leave a car on a different trail so I can peel off and save myself a couple of miles. I hope to keep some momentum going from that hike to get myself exercising more.

I'm feeling okay. Excited about a new job and moving foward professionally! One day at a time! :)
