Made it to exercise today, went well and felt good to have some structured activity after almost 2 weeks off. Then hit the grocery store for my and my neighbor's groceries. Was saddened to see that the store no longer has honeycrisp apples. Those are delicious, I have actually been eating apples, not just buying them. I settled for one "pink lady" apple to see how it is and 4 grapefruit.

Was "up" today, weight is a pound under my winter maintenance weight and I have not officially resumed loss mode. I have to credit this group for a big part of this, last year didn't go nearly as well. I shifted to maintenance earlier, with less intent, more just stopped working at it. Gained about 7 pounds before taking back some control then could not shake that 7 pounds over the next 6 month as I procrastinated on going back to loss mode. Not long after joining this group, I finally decided to commit to getting back to losing and on that day I made my first post here.

For the last 6 months I have posted almost every day, first tracking !y daily eating, more recently my calorie intake for the day as well as some of my day to day activities. That act of reporting in regularly has provided me with a level of structure that has truly made the dieting go mich smoother. Even when I have tripped up, knowing that I didn't want to "admit defeat" to the group so I had to get back to it in short order. So, even though this group is rather quiet and only a few people post regularly, i want to thank all of you for "being here" and I hope others are also able to benefit from their membership in this community.

I was sleeping on my right arm, which made it hurt. I've modified my position while sleeping.
