Keeping you in my thoughts.Happy Sunday of a long weekend! As you know, I am *so* ready for summer to get here.
To that end, I don't want to add in hosting a week in June, but I'll for sure do a July once chemo is on the rearview mirror.
I've been working hard to find things other than food to distract myself from the impending infusion deadline. Thank goodness it's only two more because I swear, as soon as I start to feel better, my brain goes to, "Yeah, but not for long. Things are going to suck again real soon now, just you wait!"
Between having no immune system and no sun tolerance (a fun side effect of chemo), I've been feeling incredibly restless and limited with the things I am a able to do at home. Books, TV, Dis, working out: nothing has been fulfilling. And, boredom is one of my top food triggers, second only to stress. Yesterday, after some significant fiddling, Hubby managed to get our Wii (the original) hooked back up to the TV and I spent hours playing Super Mario Galaxy. I know that doesn't sound like a particularly "healthy" day, but I had already done a strength workout and it kept me out of the pantry that whole time. I'm sure my attention here will wane as well, but I just need it to keep me going for a couple more weeks...
Time for a quick breakfast and morning run before the sun gets too hot for me.
Welcome! This is a great group and I hope you'll find the support you're looking for with us.HI! I have been on WW since January of 2022 (for this current round) and as of today am down 90 pounds. I was ALMOST to my 100 mark but May has NOT been kind to me! DH has suffered some massive medical issues and so its been alot of hospital stays, fast food, and stress. I am looking forward to June!!
This is what I posted on my WL YouTube Channel:
So - thought I would give ya'll an update - May has really been a rough month. Life has SMACKED ME in the face with all of Sam's medical issues that have went on and all of the eating out has caused about a 10 pound(ish) gain, so while I was SO CLOSE to reaching that 100 pound goal by the end of May, it simply wasn't meant to be.
May has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and quite frankly, emotional eating. I can do one of two things: I can give up - throw up my hands - say that since i have gained and had a hard month, that I am doomed to fail again and just go back to being over 300 pounds
OR - OR!!!!! I can say - May is almost over. May has been a CRAP SHOOT and a **** HOLE. (I mean, am I wrong?)
BUT - BUT!!! June is ALMOST HERE!! June is reaching out for me with both arms like I am a toddler learning to walk, and saying - keep on walking - I am here to catch you and it will be ok. I'm a NEW MONTH! With NEW GOALS AND NEW POSSIBILITIES!!
THAT is what is keeping me going. Will I have some weight to re-loose? Yes.
Will I need to DOUBLE DOWN if I want to make that goal by July? Yes! CAN I DO IT? YES I CAN!!
Are we allowed to share YouTube links in this thread? If not, my channel name is Lena's Weight Loss Diary if you want to follow along on my journey! (I started it when I lost 50 pounds last summer so the fist 50 is on my main YT channel - prob should have given it a dedicated one from the start, but oh well!
Please sign up to host a week.

@newski_mom When I go walking at the beach I see cruise ships going by on a regular basis, last night I'm pretty sure it was the Princess ship headed up to Alaska. When you're on your cruise and the ship makes a left turn to exit Puget Sound and enter the Strait of Juan de Fuca, you'll be going right past my town - Port Townsend.
