I found it! I thought I knew where it might have popped off, so I went back and poked around and there it was! Hurray! I just hope the replacement band gets here soon, hahaha!
ALSO! My Ms. Marvel dress got here and it looks FABULOUS and *I* look fabulous IN IT! I don't have red leggings but I may have to get some. But I have some navy blue ones, plus a pair of lace-up combat style boots in yellow vinyl that look awesome with it.
About time to head to the park for a run. Gonna aim for 4.5 miles. We'll see how that goes!
PS that is NOT me, hahaha!4 -

I'm finding myself having to really push to make it to the thousands mark. My knees certainly are
hindering me. Since last October I have been taking it easy and scaled back from trying to make
10K happen. I can't recall if I made it, but a few times I got pretty darn close.
I'm fighting for this 20 pound reduction. This morning, with the lower back tightening, I walked
the girls to the bus stop very gingerly. I waved good bye to them as the bus pulled away and started
back down the hill towards home and a voice inside said walk that short parking area. I went around it twice
then walked towards home again. I made it to the house, then purposely walked back up and then came
home to the front steps and did the first step aerobics up and down. Came in and put in the last laundry.
I'm sitting on the bed with the nagging lower back just as happy as I can be. I have to do this.
for me. Every Press Is Producing Something Precious!!!
1,695 + 2,276 = 3,971 steps.
There were some uncalculated steps, but it's ok because my body got the benefits of continued
movement. I'm fixing me something to eat right now. Be back to finish my food log.

ha ha no.
Managed 1.5 and then legs and feet said NO.
so I walked for awhile. Got in about 3 miles total and it took as long as it would've had I ran 4.5. That kinda sucks. 3 -

HEY. Yeah, I'm talking to you! At least you were MOOOOving! At least you were out there. You could have chosen to just sit this out because it's Friday, it has been a long week, you have other things you'd like to be doing. But no. You were out there moving. And I say YEA FOR YOU.
So get that stinkin' thinkin' talk and attitude outta here!!!!

@clicketykeys I agree with @toaljasa. You’re getting your activity in and you’re listening to your body which means you’ll prevent injury. I’m new to running myself but I’ve only been able to build up my distance by paying attention to what my body is telling me. I’m in a good zone with fitness right now and I’m terrified of injury (still have niggles from a hamstring injury two years ago). I’m telling myself that I have no deadlines to meet so if it takes me ages to get to my fitness goals that is fine, and it is actually happening faster than I thought!
In my yoga classes I have an instructor who tells us to always be grateful for whatever time and effort we make on the mat - “no effort is wasted”. I try and remember that when I’m tempted to beat myself up for not pushing as hard as I could or lasting as long as I expected to. It all counts! X3 -

We are in different phases of life. We are in different stages of fitness/health. We have diverse skill sets. Yet we are all on the same path to health and happiness. You are all so wonderfully supportive, honest and positive. It's very refreshing. Thanks for letting me hang with y'all.
Happy Friday!
@nlmackey98 - lovely words. And very true. This group is the best! X1 -
Hi all. Hope everyone is heading in to the weekend feeling positive. We have the clocks going forward tonight for British summertime so I’m not thrilled about workouts/runs being in the dark again but I guess if I got through the winter I can manage a small adjustment now.
Yesterday was good (no f-it friday again, whoop!). Had worked a lot of exercise calories to enjoy in the evening but I’m still running a deficit for this week which will allow me to not stress tomorrow which is Mother’s Day in the UK. The plan is to go to my parents for lunch. I’m hoping to take the girls for a walk/jog up to the Heath for breakfast at a beautiful historic building cafe beforehand though so will have a bit of quality time with them before we go to see my mum. Today they are with their dad and I have a lot of domestic stuff I want to achieve as well as an exercise class.
Friday goals recap:
- morning run ✅ 5 miles today
- pack veggie snack for school ✅
- water! ✅
- check whether ex is needing car for the girls ✅
- home lunchtime for car/ shake if not needed ✅
- do GaG before leaving work ✅
- hot yoga after work? ✅
- bed by 10 ✅
Saturday goals:
- Warrior class at 9:30am
- Groceries - health food shop and fruit
- House clean
- Laundry
- Garden clearing, mow lawn, jet wash patio and front steps
- Make vegan brownies (parents are fasting for Lent so have this recipe for them to be able to eat them)
- Hang out with the girls when they’re back, check homework situation!
- Rest!
Have a lovely day everyone x2 -
And I’ve just realised I need to head to the ceramic cafe to pick up the pieces the kids and their friend painted a couple of weeks ago and get their friend’s gift delivered in time for Mother’s Day! So have quickly changed exercise class booking. Will be interesting to see if I have as much strength at an earlier hour (I’m guessing not! 😬). Going to be a busy day - hope I can get it all done!
Revised Saturday goals:
- Warrior class at 8:15am
- Groceries - health food shop and fruit
- Buy Mother’s Day card
- Pick up ceramic gifts
- House clean
- Laundry
- Garden clearing, mow lawn, jet wash patio and front steps
- Make vegan brownies (parents are fasting for Lent so have this recipe for them to be able to eat them)
- Hang out with the girls when they’re back, check homework situation!
- Rest!2 -

Welcome!
I am one of the newer peeps, but I love this thread. So many wonderful caring and nonjudgmental people, here. Very inspirational having folks at all stages of health & fitness.
The only struggle I have is keeping up with everyone & the remorse that I have cause I don't have time to respond to everyone; however, everyone is still friendly & nice anyway.
I love this thread!!!

Love that lapping those on the couch pic. Just really inspired me. Keep at it ladies! ❤️❤️2

JFT Saturday
Up at 6:00am 😃
Oldest to regatta by 7:00am 😃
Go for a run. 🙃
Cheer for kiddo as she rows.
Take pictures & video (new camera, yay!)
Pick up youngest take to hair appt. (she’s going pink. Like pink pink.)
Sleepover at my house tonight.
Bed before midnight
My daughter had to be at the regatta by 7:00, but her first race isn’t until 9:00. So I decided that I’d make good use of my time and go for a run. Let’s start by saying I haven’t run since my Duathlon in September. Perhaps I should have started with a mile or two instead of a 5k. The first 1.5 miles was pretty fair, slow, but consistent. The last half was not so great with a lot of walk/run. It’s weird my breathing wasn’t bad. My legs weren’t that tired. I just felt heavy and tired. Still, it felt good to do something after a few weeks of hibernation.
Also, I’m a little nervous about letting my youngest go pink with her hair. I’ve let her put color in before, but I’ve never let her bleach her whole head (except roots) and add color. The picture is really cute, but I missed her appointment with my hair dresser so we are using someone new. It’s just hair and it will grow out eventually or more likely we’ll color it back to her natural color. If I knew how to post a picture I’d show you.2 -

Had a good day yesterday, cleaned out bedroom and took laundry to the laundromat. Only have to vacuum in there as I didn’t feel like digging it out yesterday. Next room is the craft room. It’s always the place I put everything I don’t know what to do with so becomes cluttered very quickly.
I am picking Lauryn and the kids up today and bringing them out for the afternoon, but am taking them home earlier than usual tonight so Rodg and I can have some time together.
I think I’ll also tell Lauryn to bring her walking shoes and she can go for a walk with me. It’s warmer in the afternoon than in the evening and I have a stroller here so we can take Michaela with us. Will just have to stop and play at the park for a bit I imagine.
