Survival Mode Put Us Back to Zero

A lot of you came here many moons ago when I left Sparkpeople.  I loved the community of that place and the support I got there.  It was at the height of us being on our game.  That motivation you have in the beginning when you're consistently rewarded with weight loss, smaller clothes, compliments to keep your motivation high and you somehow begin to step out of being invisible to the public to people smiling at you, opening doors or striking up conversation.  You start to feel human.  You don't have to worry about going to restaurants or 'fitting' somewhere.  You can go to a wedding and see those God awful thin folding chairs and while you still don't like them, you're not concerned.  Many of your worries that fit people never had to think of, have faded away.  We started for the long haul in our 30's and that's when we had the most success, losing 226 and 190 lbs respectively.  When we went on vacation, as long as we came back and got rig...

Happy Memorial Day


We got our fill of cookout foods from a burger to Beyond brat, corn, beans and the like on Saturday.  We didn't get the patio together in time so it was sticking indoors until we went driving to get out of the house.  We managed to get one geocache in out in the boondocks but it was too crowded to do many of the park and grabs around the area.  The past few days we've been getting into the habit of taking turns on Reddit's AITA (Am I The Asshole?) threads to read them to give our opinions and see what other people have to say.  Oddly, it's a good way to end up in conversations of all different kinds which has been kind of fun.

Sunday we lazed around a little then I made brunch while the Mr returned an Amazon item.  Tried making amends for the previous day's sodium bomb with some fruit salad, eggs, turkey links and protein bread.  (That seeded protein bread is God awful.  Yarf.)   Then we did absolutely nothing all day.  We decided after putting away clothes and making the bed that we should probably get our walk in.  We thought with it being almost 6pm maybe the park would be thinning out.  We were wrong.  Dead wrong.  So. very. wrong.

We were going to walk this cemetery that we kind of hate because there's no shade but it was kind of cloudy so we thought it might not be bad.  We were passing this big corporate building surrounded by sidewalks that was abandoned for the holiday weekend.  We started walking the perimeter and 40 calories in, a security lady pulls up beside us and says we can't walk there.  Yes...because there is a rash of obese, middle aged gangs tagging corporate parking lots.

We drove down the road a little and I remembered this path so we parked and walked a new to us spot.



We lapped it twice to add on to what we burned walking illegally.  šŸ˜  It was pleasantly breezy and cool which is NOT what is forecasted in a day or two so we have to enjoy it while we can.


We settled in for the night and that brings us to today.  My thought would've been to walk early but after that crap fest, it might be back to the path for us.  We'll see.

How was your weekend?  Doing anything today?

  1. That sounds like a great weekend. Glad you could get out and about for a while. Regular weekend here. I did spend a good amount of time trimming some dead branches on the inner portion of the pine tree, and then used some Smart Patch for the bare spots where the old trees were removed. It's been very warm the past two days, so it was good to get those things done earlier in the morning. Have a great rest of your weekend!
