Hi Fran - good luck with the new licenses! Yes, we all do that - more or less depending upon level of stress. Glad to hear that you are moving forward again.
I lost my Fitbit again for the 100th time....I think I might have to switch to a wrist band!
Best,

Colorado water is finally lowering and life goes back to usual for many of us. Stressful week 9/11 - 8/18. How are you all doing?

Kathy - Good! I continue to be more active (and healthy!) than I have generally been in years. I have continued to eat healthy and stick to my diet (except for a few social occasions that I've eaten and imbibed alcohol to excess!).
I've hit a moderate weight-loss plateau since mid-July, but I guess I couldn't expect to be consistently losing at the rate I was (~10 lb/month).
That said, I'm trying to keep a positive mental attitude -- by focusing less on my weight and more on the fact that I'm continuing to making good diet and exercise choices. If I continue to do that -- the weight should trend down over the long run. :)

YES - that is a great mindset, Rock-it-Scientist. There is no race, and healthful changes are important - even with the predictable weight stall we must all endure on our journey.
Best,
Kathy

Kathy glad you did not get washed away.
I would love the wrist fitbit but since I have mine now in a change purse on a lariat I don't loss it so will have to wait for an issue. If you get one let me know haw you like it. Fran

Fran! So good to hear from you! I lost my FitBit yet again for weeks on end and my husband just found it in the washing machine. Goodness only knows how many cycles it went through. I am drying it out now to see if it can be brought back to life.
Great idea with the purse- I have a lariat too so perhaps I can try that too. I get into trouble when I put it in a pocket for hikes and such.
The flood - my favorite trail is still drying out and there is still a huge sink hole blocking my passage off of a main little bridge on Coal Creek Trail. Not likely to be fixed until spring. But that is a small price to pay - no basement flooding due to a fantastic farmer's irrigation ditch bordering our town home complex!
Welcome back, Fran!

Good luk with getting it to work again. I tried rie et. Never worked. Glad to here you did not get as much damage as you could have had. I am now licensed in AZ,passed the exam. That was stressful. Now working on FL. Have gained a little during this stressful time but that is only temporary.
