Good evening,
Saw a poundage # on the scale I have not seen in awhile. I am not sure if the mini doughnuts were a good idea but they were gone so fast.
Hottest tomorrow but only upper 90's we hope.
Running out of salad makings - will plan for a different set of items over the weekend.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Good grief, am I dragging this morning; I did not sleep long enough before waking up to the usual racing brain....

Exactly, this is why I used to weigh daily too. Was a good motivator for me to see that the salty chips I had last night, even though they fit into my goal, were not a good idea.
I've lost some motivation because I'm moving from the country back to civilization next week and will have biking paths and/or gym access again. Hoping not living on a farm will help to spark my motivation again to full force. Cross your fingers for me!2 -
Good evening,
Egg rolls for dinner and while they are baked they were fried at one point. Salad for lunch and apricots for snack - I will make sure to get my 5k and hopefully a little more.

Good morning all~~
Jesi and Sara - let's all whip up some motivation!!
Years ago the summer was motivating to me to get in better shape, but now at my age, with no one caring what I look like, the summer has lost its magical powers. Of course this is all in my mind, so I will write this here and forge ahead!

@LanaCabana537 - I got married last summer and not being single has certainly had an effect on my motivation like your magical summer powers, I no longer have to try and catch a man so I've been really bad

Good evening,
Yes and summer always involved bathing suits - can we think of this summer as one where we work to feel better and stronger?
Monster is back but working from home until Monday. Works for me.
Got 5500 steps in today.

It's Friday - Yay!
Sara, yes, we will work to feel better and stronger! Glad you have a Monster-free work day today.
Jesi, definitely work at keeping yourself healthy, so that you have a long and easier life with your DH!
Keeping up with eating better food, today I will take that nice little drive out to Wildside Farm to pick up the veggies I ordered online. I'm supporting local farmers 👍🏻
Yesterday I let things rip and made a small amount of pasta with a large amount of alfredo sauce (and veggies) and.....the water weight/carb gain is the price I paid. Gah.

Goooood morning!
I updated all of my stuff for my official start over effective June 3 and as of today, I'm down 5lbs even. My official weigh in/log day is Friday so hopefully I can keep up with the 2-3lbs loss per week for a while.
Have a great Friday, all!2 -

Goood morning!
We’re taking the first load to our new (rental) house today, getting the keys, and coming back to pack like crazy so we can officially move in on Thursday.
High of 77° today so I’ll take that!2 -
Good afternoon,
Just turned 12/noon. All of my errands, two grocery stores/car wash/eye glasses to pick up/stop by hairdresser to see daughter (helped me get pickled Korean Radishes) are done and I am home for rest of day.
Cool day here so trying not to jinx. Have 700 steps to get my 5k but will also aim higher. But you know me weekends are for napping.....
I have recycle water bottles, mens socks (for homeless bags the church gives out) and a prayer shawl to gift after I sew in the ends today for Church tomorrow.
Wishing all a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Another pretty day out there ☀️
My goal this week is to get significant exercise done, either pool or walking or floor exercises.
I will need your help with this, and I will put it with the poundage below.
It is exciting to move into a new home - enjoy it!!
Sara - good for you on getting all of that stuff done before noon! 🎉

Good afternoon,
Lana how do you need assistance? Do we make you tell us how many minutes you did "x" exercise, or chore, or do you want to track your steps, or do you just want to list your weight?
I picked up a packet with stir fry vegetables with yudon noodles and teriyaki sauce yesterday. On hot days I like to eat it cold. Serves 4ish and I am putting one of my poached chicken breasts in and that will be my lunches for part of the week. Still have pork to cook.
Saintly images are not entirely pure in my world as junk food is still wandering around, but less often and I am putting in more steps.
100 plus temps mid week again - it is summer and they are not giving us a week of 100 plus yet for which I am grateful.

Good morning ☀️
Sara - I am having great resistance getting myself to do any kind of exercise, be it walking/steps, water exercise in the pool, or floor strengthening exercises. So I'm going to post it here with my weight. I just needed to say it out loud here that I need to do it and be accountable.
I am expecting myself to do one out of the three listed; more would be a bonus.
Your vegetables, noodles, and sauce eaten cold sounds really good!
I hope that you have a good day today 🤗

No exercise yesterday 🥺0 -
Good evening,
Hard to stay awake at work today - Monday's are good for that. Had a great day eating until I got home. Will get my 5k today.
Hot temps over 100 start tomorrow and go through rest of week. Need to make sure my steps are in before I get home. Coworker asked that I change the tune I was humming at work - he got Copacabana. Be careful what you ask for.
Lana keep working in the right direction.

Good morning all ~~
Sara - Yikes, the over 100s this week will be daunting. Take good care of yourself 🤗
No formal exercise yesterday. I was very busy, and I was in a not-good mood. The day fell apart towards late afternoon. Woke up pretty crabby today. Dang!
Yes, I'm going to work in the right direction today!!

I feel this to my core. I can be super good about my intake all day then I get home and BAM! out the window.
Supposed to be 88° on Thursday and sunny... GREAT day for moving - NOT! At least we will be burnin' those calories!
Hope you're all having a wonderful week so far and are [trying to] staying cool!

I kind of really wish we could have a "signature" for our forum posts. I'd like to keep the ticker posted when I post

Good evening,
6:45 and still 104 fun stuff. Behaved today with food - at least better than yesterday.
Cooking pork for salads - have 500 steps to get 5k and you know it will happen. I am determined to outdress my boss and outsunshine my boss and loss more weight than my boss. She just doesnt know it.
Stay cool and drinks liquids.

Jesi - I love your ticker! I may have to hunt that one down! Good luck with your moving today/tomorrow. Beware of the possible eating that day. It's so easy to just order pizza. Been there; done that.
Sara - From what you've said in the past, you should have no problem out-sunshining the Monster Boss.
Keep yourself in the air conditioning and drink your water. 🌸
I have physical therapy today, then some group head therapy, then some yard work subbing in for formal exercise. There is a carpet of pine needles on my roof, and I have to pull it off and then clean up the mess.

Good evening,
Crazy day at work too many people asking questions and I got my 5k walking. That is the good news. If you saw what I just enjoyed it would be the bad news.
Lana all those calories burned doing exercise and house work. Those things add up.
Half way to Friday, that is worth a lot.

Good evening,
Lana points for your work out with PT!!! It counts.
Got my 5k in when I walked home. Passed out for too long (I will be up late) - too hot for words. Eating dinner late luckily it is Plain Greek Yogurt with frozen Blueberries and sliced Almonds - dairy and 4 fruit veg done.
Coworker coming back to work for training and I thought I got rid of her. I am not going to assist her she takes too much time - I hope that my boss stays all day today - it was a jump ship call out sick kind of dysfunction day. If that lady has questions she needs to ask the chat line like everyone does.
That said, sorry she crossed me one too many times.
100 degrees out still, have electricity and a/c. Havent always had a/c so I am very blessed today.
I see Friday on the horizon.

Hiiiii!
Moved today, about an hour and 20 minutes from where we were. I didn’t even help unload the last load cause my ankles hurt so bad and I still got 11,858 steps / 4.68 miles in today. (I was in a head on car wreck Dec 2018 and broke most of my body, including both ankles)
My husband gets to golf tomorrow and I get to put stuff away - yay (not)
Hoping for even a small loss on my Friday weigh in tomorrow.
Chat at ya’s later!3 -
*** June 24 ***
Well Friday finally got here.
Jesi - put away some of the kitchen, to have things as YOU want them, and then spend the rest of the "golf time" on yourself. Take a load off of your ankles, and relax. You have forever to put things away. Have DH take you out to dinner.
Sara - I hope that you survive the workday without having to murder co-worker and boss. 😁
Today I will clock only walking; going up to NYC, but the airports are always good for getting in the steps!
Waving to Tracy and Missy and Jordanna and everyone else out there~~

Good evening,
TGIF - long hard week and came close to losing my cool - but I am home and ready to pass out.
Got over 5k. May have some more fruit before lights out.
Lana - you are correct airports are great places to load on the steps. Safe trip.

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!
Hope all is well with everyone! Just a quick check in to say hi! Was good with eating this week and while I was away with my dad and stepmom. We ate healthy and were active so I ended up losing weight yay 😀 and I think I decided on a program- MBA and just work the ladder up in my industry. I wanted to go back and pursue a PhD but by the time I graduate I’ll be close to wanting to plan retirement lol so that just doesn’t seem feasible plus there isn’t a program within a reasonable driving distance for me to attend for the PhD. MBA seems much more feasible plus I can work on what I have built now rather than starting all over. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
~ Missy2 -
Happy Saturday Missy ☀️
Congratulations on your losing while on vacation! That is really nice 👍🏻
Everything that you've said over the years and said today about your degree makes sense. Go for that MBA!
Sara - I'm glad that you got through your horrible work week without being thrown in the brig!
What a pain.
You know what to do: take care of yourself this weekend and rest your mind. Big, Big Hugs 🤗💛
I did indeed clock 2.5+ miles yesterday, and that was only airports and bus/subway into NYC. That's over 5K steps. Yay!
I ate Chinese food last night as if it were my last meal though.
