Considering what I ate yesterday, I'm happy to only be up 1/2lb from Tuesday's weight! It does mean I'm treading water at the moment, but it's better than gaining. Going out for dinner to celebrate my son's birthday tonight, but should be able to get back on track for the rest of the week!

Hello all!
I am finally back in Canada, even though I won't be home until tomorrow evening. I'm spending the night and part of tomorrow in Montreal - I already miss the lovely weather we had while I was in North Carolina. Back to chilly, damp, and grey. Meh.
So I have caught everyone up on weigh-ins and steps. Good going, everyone! All the Wednesday weigh-ins are in on time.
THURSDAY people! HEADS UP!

@Cory17
I had a crazy bad eating day today while being delayed in my flights home, having to be rescheduled on different flights, etc. So I ate during the many hours of waiting much more than I usually would have. I walked a lot too! But I'll have to get back on track tomorrow.
G'night all ----

Oh Wonderful Steppers! I think this is the list of all of you:
@zlauerMom
@micki48
@reflectionofme
@fourathomej
@bfitb440n2022
@jlbtnc
@Evangsimmons170
@BMcC9
@mari_moulin
@blackbeautysue
Keep those beautiful numbers flowing in -- our spreadsheet is looking a bit empty...
I also promise to make the report about the final steps for May tomorrow morning! Even though the steps reported tapered off by the end of the month, there were some great strides happening.4 -
STEPPERS FOR THE MONTH OF MAY - WEEK 4 AND FINAL MONTH TOTALS - HOW FAR DID THEY GO???WEEK 4 WINNERS
The TOP stepper for week for was @reflectionofme with 119,256 steps = 95.4 km = 57.3 miles
SECOND place goes to @fourathomej with 92,670 steps = 74 km = 44.5 miles
THIRD place goes to @mari_moulin with 87,103 steps = 69.7 km = 41.8 miles. Even while recovering from surgery!
MONTH OF MAY TOTAL WINNERS
Through the whole month, the leader of the pack has been @reflectionofme - impressive consistency, with a total for the month of 467,582 steps = 374 km = 224.4 miles. ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!
@fourathomej , with four kids at home and plenty of running around to do (obviously!) logged 318,498 steps = 254.8 km = 152.9 miles. CHEERS AND HAT THROWING!!
@BMcC9 our own tireless co-captain (who has a fitbit in case you didn't hear!!) put in an inspiring 305,992 steps = 244.8 km = 146.9 miles. WILD HUZZAHS!!
Keep on moving and inspiring everyone to park far away, clomp up those stairs, go talk to the people down the hall, walk during breaks, run with the dog, go for a stroll, have walking meetings, and just generally keep putting one foot in front of the other. Over and over. Let's see if June can outdo the May total for all steppers of2,820,663 steps = 2,256.6 km = 1353.9 miles6 -
My steps so far for June.
June 1 - 7,667
June 2 - 10,512
June 3 - 11,421
June 4 - 12,531
June 5 - 13,791
This is extremely good for me. I don't usually hit 10,000 steps all that often. I got the book "Ready to Run" out of the library recently. I'm using the book as a guide to improving my overall mobility. I decided to minimize my sitting down time and have moved my laptop to the counter and to avoid sitting when on the computer. My steps have improved dramatically. (I moved it on June 2) Last week I only reached 10,000 steps twice.
I was very close to moving the computer to sit down this morning, but resisted the urge. Now that I see these numbers, I hope I can keep that up in the future. Seems like a small habit that could have a good benefit for me.
I'm a potter and spend a lot of time sitting at the wheel. I'm thinking I will workout a platform to put my wheel on so I can throw pots standing up. Might save my back someday.6 -

Second day of trip. Lots of steps and stairs. Over 13,000 steps and I was in a car for over 4 hours. Food was ok. I’m sure I’m over my calories, especially at dinner but I knew I would not resist Crab Fries.4 -
I so agree with @mari_moulin !! That is so motivating to see....Thank you so much @jugar2

Hi team. Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve posted. Busy few days here at home and it’s only beginning with summer vacation coming up. My weight hasn’t budged much since my 10lb gain which is frustrating but it is going the right way. Slowly but surely. Been doing much better this month and I’ve been given the green light to do all workouts from my surgeon. I’ve just gotta make sure I listen to my body and not go too crazy as I get back into it. Hope you are all well team x6

Everyone I have been wondering for days what happened on the other discussion because it’s closed!! I couldn’t find a new thread but I found it now🧐. Are out weigh in days and everything the same? Do we get a new thread every month?2

This week i have been a slacker. My numbers tomorrow probably won’t change. My own fault. I start out in the mornings great and then by afternoon I just eat. I know I need more water!!3

Yes all stays the same unless you wish to change weigh in day or team. Usually changes are made the last week of each month for the new month. Also, we get new team threads every month. all previous months are closed and we transfer our conversations over to the new month.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Sorry I have been MIA. I finally got home yesterday late in the afternoon. Weigh-in this morning was NOT great. The travel, the visits, the news about my mother-in-law - there are a million things I can blame. But I know it'll get back on track soon. Tomorrow, right???
Today I had such a crazy day. Amazing and wonderful, but a bit crazy. First, I got to drive my son's new sporty car (a 2015 Subaru BRZ). SO MUCH FUN. I took it to get some kind of sound system that will rock the universe installed. Then to his work where I picked up my own (way less cool) car. Then I went to my mother-in-law's house. It was so weird being there in the empty house without her and her little dog. I started going through clothes, returning messages, emptying the fridge and freezer. It was the first time it really hit me she is gone. Because of my husband's allergic asthma, I have spent way more time with his mother than he has. She was quite some amazing person, and we had a lot of laughs over the years. So today I ate the rest of her ice cream and some terrific cookies she had sitting there on the counter. She always had quite the sweet tooth, so I joined in with her spirit today. I will try really hard not to do that again! I got a good bit done, but also saw how long this is going to take. Then I came home, put everything away, and went outside in the beautiful sunshine to work in the garden and pick some greens and rhubarb. The apple trees are in full bloom, and the smell is intoxicating. It was a gorgeous afternoon. I'm just glad to be home.
Then I read all your messages! What a team!
@zlauerMom - I am pumped that you are into your steps! And the numbers are beautiful. It is also great to learn you are a potter. I am a bowl addict, and for many years have enjoyed the "empty bowls" event at the faculty of fine arts in the university where I worked forever. The profits go to the homeless, and the bowls are made by the ceramics students. There are some pretty amazing bowls in my collection. Post some photos of your stuff! I'd love to see it.
@Terytha - you make me laugh picturing you running after your puppy. RUN, girl, RUN!!!!!
@micki48 - how do you manage that many steps while spending hours in the car? You are blowing me away!
@fourathomej - I think you should give @reflectionofme a run for her money on the steps team. GREAT stepping! I will be watching the two of you closely...
@mari_moulin - you are doing great with the steps too! If anyone needs an example of how to work through all the difficulties of recovery from surgery, you are IT. Your attitude is beautiful. Even though it was hard for a bit there, you are getting there slow and sure. YESSSSSS!
@Connie7355 - one pound down. ONE POUND DOWN. Keep going! - - on that note - go check out the spreadsheet and see how much GREEN there is, team! Beautiful... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VQmJU-PP_euAafrfd1eBSlDt6K7sTnl2-LxUJ1CUUWo/edit?ts=5ceeeb7a#gid=1260891951
@kx7003 - So glad you found the new thread! Every new month, we jump. And that jumping sees you down 3.3 pounds. WOWOWOWOWOW. Now don't be worried if next week is not quite as awesome. You got this.
@AmyRobF - water. afternoons. It is amazing how fast some slacking gets us, isn't it. I'm there right now too - even after feeling super pumped a few days ago. BUT that just means you can get back on track just. as. fast. DO IT!!!
OK - this is long enough! Weigh-ins due tomorrow, late ones, etc. You know who you are!!!
