    Weigh in:
    Username: AB0215
    Weigh in week: Week 2
    Weigh in day: Saturday
    Previous Week's Weight: 192.2 lbs
    Current Weight: 192.1 lbs

    Weighing before I leave since I'm not taking my scale--and I'm betting that I have to work a little harder when I get back to get back on track, but it will all be worth it in the end, I'm sure.

    Good Morning and Happy Friday Team!!
    It is now 2am in my world and I've showered, ate my first carb filled meal of the weekend (a banana nut muffin and I have no regrets :p ) and I'm just about ready to head out to the airport.
    A couple points this weekend, please don't forget to weigh in, while I won't necessarily be here to enter them, your friendly neighborhood @Fyreside will be entering your weights and a big huge THANKS to him for that!!
    I will probably not be around much until Sunday night, but I will catch up then and post the results of the weekly challenge(most likely from the airport since I have like 5 hours to sit there and do nothing)
    Have a great weekend!


    Oh and sorry about this, been neglecting my Question of the Week and in the spirit of my weekend trip here it is:
    Where is a place you'd like to go or even one that you've been to but would like to go back?

    I'm headed to Orlando and I finally get to visit Universal Studios and I'm super excited :)

    I have never been out of North America.

    I would like to go to Europe. I don't know any languages other than English, but my children studied French so maybe France

    Argh,... hahah wow, I've done it again. I sit down to make a post and there is my last post from the day before sitting there unsent. {facepalm} So umm.. here is yesterdays post lol.

    @AB0215 Have a great trip.

    @mexiconona car seat? Was your ipad trying to be clever? lol.

    @gemwolf110 happy birthday for yesterday.

    @jennfalzon1979 You're 15lb from goal.. I'm not saying you should push yourself until the whole thing is intolerable grind. But you have done so much already and if you can find the determination to push on, I reckon you will be glad you did.

    Daily Post: (Thursday)
    Goals:my average steps in the city are around 9000 per day.. In the bush it's 18000 with ease. My goal is to rest up this weekend for a big next week.
    Track: Yes.
    Calories:Yes.
    Exercise:Did I ever..
    Water Intake: Kinda low.. When it's cold and wet the whole drinking water urge just never comes. Drank lots of coffee tho.

    Daily Post: (Friday)
    Goals:My goal for the weekend other than rest up is not eat too much, not ruin my sleep pattern and try to find a really warm jacket that fits well.
    Track: Yes.
    Calories:Only just
    Exercise:No
    Water Intake: Yes

    There is a lot of travel I'd like to do. I need to do a bit more sailing first to know if it's right for me. But I daydream about buying/building a yacht and sailing it to various interesting locations around the world. However, if I have to pick one place, New Zealand is nearby and packed full of natural beauty. A place I'd definitely love to visit and explore for a few weeks.

    Daily Post Friday

    Still lacking the mental drive. Midlife crisis? So close yet so far? I have no clue

    This weekend we are celebrating my daughters first bday. And really, her birth was the reason I started this journey. I am still plugging along, but my heart isn’t in it and I don’t know why.

    Track. Somewhat
    Calories. Not sure. Tried a new white wine. Had some pizza and chips
    Exercise. 40 minutes treadmill and 20 minutes weights. 1 hour yard work.
    Water. 60 ounces. I am dehydrated. This I know for a fact.

    Where would I like to travel?

    I would like to go to the Maldives but the plane ride would kill me. Lol

    I used to want to go to Australia but I’m not too sure of the gigantic critters. @Fyreside have you run in to crazy big bugs and snakes?

    I mean sure, there are many potentially dangerous critters.. But none of them actually want to mess with people. So it's really only accidental encounters to be wary of. To limit that I simply stomp when I'm walking in the bush and look out for spiders under things and in wood piles. Ironically, you have more apex predators in your countryside, bears, mountain lions, angry moose, etc. We only have crocs and I'm too far south for those. Funny thing is, I'm cool with snakes and spiders. But I freak out over roaches and grasshoppers lol. And the only things near my property that I'm genuinely concerned by are feral pigs,dogs and humans.

    Hey, just since I'm on the subject. Recently I've been struggling to understand why my property has basically no spiders. But the house and yard in town is crawling with these.

    Then I discovered some inhabitants that explained it. My property has a healthy little population of a tiny carnivorous marsupial called an Antechinus and they love to eat spiders. So it's really quite cool to not have to worry about every bit of firewood I pick up down there.

    I live in the mountains and seeing bears and moose are totally commonplace. As are raccoon, beaver, badger, elk, coyote... all things we have here that you could run across in an unpleasant way... But for the most part they want to avoid you as much as you want to avoid them! We have only 2 poisonous spider types here and they're fairly rare/easy to identify.

    Cougars (mountain lions) are the one that scare me because they are so fast and quiet... if they want you, they've got you. Cougars have become more common in my village, the past few years they've been discovered making dens under people's porches or in backyard sheds (yikes!). My friend came home to a cougar on her kitchen table a few months ago!!
