GOOD MORNING! OR GOOD AFTERNOON! OR GOOD EVENING!
@skullsandskeletons ~ 30 min🏃 💣BOOM!!💥 Excellent. I’m glad @LuluLovinLife shared also.
I’m glad that everyone here can find someone to relate to. It makes our journeys that much more real and sustainable. We are not alone. We are in this together. We are not giving up. We are plowing through!! We got this!! 👊
@MaelynMayhem~ Another great day and more squats!! 💣BOOM!!💥 I hope you feel better soon. It’s no fun being sick or in pain. I too had a near mishap when I went for a morning walk a while back. I’m like a dog… lol… a little walking gets things flowing. I had to cut through two neighbors yard to make it home just in time! Yikes!! Thank you for sharing your day and likes. Your ability to write and your intelligence are making you very relatable and make me think a little more, too. Thank you for sharing. I wondered about the bottles or sizes you use! LOL 🚰🥤 Sounds like we do the same thing.
@ajaia2001~ Another good day!! Hope you and your daughter have a fun, fun time. We will miss your posts. I’ve noted that this week you will weigh on Sat. Thanks for the heads up. You got this! Enjoy!! 👊
@klilev~ Awesome day! Yum.. shrimp! It’s nice when hubby is on board and helps. You’re doing great!
@jupdyke~ Thanks. 😍 I’m off the TOM roller coaster ride, that helps! LOL I hope you’re feeling better today! Go get ‘em!
I’m working on changing my a.m. routine a little bit to get UP and OUT to walk at daybreak, or shortly thereafter. So it’s time to scoot! Then I will come back and work on my resistance! Tonight is movie night with mom.
Have a great day everyone!
It’s a great day to have a great day!!

#MONSLAY!This week as our team members weigh-in for week #3 of our May challenge, I want to set ourselves up for a little extra challenge to strive during week #3 to achieve on week #4 weigh-in. The challenge is to have a NO GAIN week #4! 🤯 I know right!!? I would love to have 100% participation, but I know that is unrealistic since there are only a few of us posting daily for the mini-challenge. So, instead, let’s have a 100% commitment. If YOU ARE willing to challenge yourself and commit to working extra hard during week #3 for a NO GAIN on week #4 weigh-in, then please respond…. “Challenge Accepted.” And if you are accepting the challenge, what are you going to work on “extra” to help push yourself to have that NO GAIN!?@ajaia2001 @ala155 @_Cece_x @ChattyCrafty @Chubbyone123 @Claresmith13 @dillyg08 @Fivepts @germaine_yee @Gustaaf85 @j0d13mcc @Jactop @JamieD328 @JammyPea @johicks @jupdyke @jwall309 @klilev @kristawatkins52 @littleflutterby @Longshore @lovethyneighbor @LuluLovinLife @Maejestique @MaelynMayhem @MHarper522 @peacekeace @pratainua @rachelgoff3716 @rawrxamberx @RileyHeavy @skullsandskeletons @stricklee11 @thatexpatmom @Tomkinsone @Toyota100 @twitch82 @veggieonly @vhiggins90 @victorious55
It's not too late to join the challenge! So far 9 of us has committed to having a NO GAIN weigh-in week #4! We would love to have you join us.1 -
This one isn't really inspirational, but I thought it was amusing.

Daily Post (Tuesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under, 1301/1390
Exercise: No
Water: Getting better
Day: Have some stress going on with house maintenance and issues with our landlord, so really trying to not deal with that by stress eating. I was successful last night. The issues came up around 9 pm, so I took a long hot shower and went to bed instead of finishing off the Halo Top I have in the freezer! Most likely will be moving within the next 6 months, so not only do I need to find a balance with my social life for health reasons but now also for financial reasons. We will need to save up for moving expenses and a bit of an increase in rent.2 -
The pain
you feel today

Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Strength training-leg day, walked the dog
Water: Never a problem, all day, everyday.
Day: Feeling just a smigid better today, but still run down and sore throat. Hopefully tomorrow is even better. I stayed un control today. I'm happy about that.1 -
@MaelynMayhem ~ I knew I needed to do a quick check in. Watching TV (Survivor) in bed, yet the kitchen is calling. I needed extra strength. Thanks for the reminder.
@jupdyke ~ Glad you are feeling a little better. Good day!! Yeah.you!!
@skullsandskeletons ~ HUGS. Yes forgive yourself and move forward. Tomorrow is a new day. If you are able to figure out the trigger, great! If not, the journey has side steps, no going back... Just to the side and going forward.
Ok. Brushing teeth. Saying out loud... THE KITCHEN IS CLOSED!!

Daily Post (Wednesday 5/15)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under, Limit: 1500/Actual: 1340
Water: 26 cups
Exercise: 4 flights of Stairs, Yoga (30 minutes), Pump Challenge (25 minutes, 5 pounds squats, 10 pounds triceps and chest, five pounds butt and back, tripod option for lunges, five pounds for shoulders), 15 minute walk to the store, Zombies, Run! (Galvanize - Total Time: 60 minutes; Con Te Partiro - Total Time: 61 minutes)
Day: I found my cucumber and box of Kashi Go Lean at the store and they fit in my small bag I carry when I walk. Usually in my bag are just my idea, debit card, couple of bus passes and 30 oz water bottle, in case needed; I fill the bottle up before I leave. My phone is strapped to my left arm. I then continued on down the street enjoying the mission and music. It was a long loop to get home. I got home and told people in a couple of my fitness groups that I was counting the walk to the store as part of my total walk as I didn't spend a lot of time in the store. Well in one, a guy said I shouldn't count going to the store for a Butterfinger as fitness. I told him what I bought. That illicited the response of yeah, surrrrre you diiiid. And another guy chimed in with "we don't want to hear about your sex life." It didn't get any better. A couple of admins stepped in and there were words exchanged and they were banned. But what they said just made me feel fat and gross. I felt like that girl again who believed she needed to starve herself to lose weight, and for a moment I considered skipping my lunch. To them it was a joke to me it was a serious trigger of all the pain I keep inside regarding my weight and how I feel about it. It was a reminder of the crap that I take from strangers and took growing up, especially in high school. I did eat my lunch, and I didn't emotionally eat either. I had a normal meal.
My day:
1) The stream I ran across at Bennett. It was such a beautiful and peaceful scene to see this flowing stream with rocks in it, and flowers surrounding it in the middle of the city.
2) Even though I was hurt today, I didn't let my feelings control my actions.
3) My order from Amazon finally arrived today and for the first time in my life an article of clothing I ordered online actually fit!
Myself
1) I'm stronger than I really know
2) I'm really try new things
3) I have a sense of adventure that guides me on my journeys0 -
Hey guys - sorry I've been off this week, I've been quite busy getting out and about at long last!!
Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Closed the ring on my apple watch.
Water: Plenty
Day: Feeling great. Much healthier and on my feet. I stayed within my calories (1550) and even had a lemon muffin which was really, really good. I'm using the "Health Unlocked" site and going on the Couch to 5k forum which has been really helpful in my preparation to start running again. i'm planning on starting the couch to 5k app again next week which is really brilliant in building you up. I got to week 6 last time. I think I'm going to start from scratch and see how I go. If you're not really a runner but would like to give it a go, have a look at the NHS couch to 5k app, its free and I think its brilliant.1 -

Week 3
Thursday
PW: 177.4
CW: 176
Today I am grateful that when I weigh everyday I keep a log in a spreadsheet and the Happy Scale app. Initially I was disappointed because it felt like my weight has been at this point FOREVER, but when I looked back at my app, its only the third day that I've weighed in at 176 and previous days it was higher, so I am pretty happy with that. I'm down 17 pounds in 3ish months, so need to remember that I am doing very well! BF reminded me of that when I tried on some shorts I ordered online last night and they were way too big and I initially was confused as to why. Then he said "well you've lost of a lot of weight!" His version of a lot is a bit different than mine, but it was nice to hear!4 -
Daily Post (Wednesday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Over 1430/1390
Exercise: No
Water: Not enough
Day: Had an impromptu date night with BF instead of the man I had planned out, BUT I didn't mind because I ended up not eating everything I had brought to work for lunch and snack, so I had a lot of extra calories left for dinner. Had some adult drinks and remained cautious of what I ordered, but still got what I wanted. We got sriracha biscuits as an appetizer, it came with 4 and I only had 1 instead of the 2 that were my share. For dinner I ordered shortribs, mashed potatoes, and carrots. It came with two chunks of short rib, I only ate one of them and had some leftover veggies as well. And ultimately decided that the adult drinks would count as dessert. I ended up satisfied and not overly full! And this morning I hadn't gained like I normally would after a dinner out, so I'll say it was a success! Definitely finding the balance more and more every day!3 -
