Saturday weigh in: 222.2.
I'm grateful to only be up 0.2 given how badly I hurt my back Thursday. I spent all last night popping painkillers, laying on heat and eating chocolate for comfort.

You're down 2.6 pounds from last week! So no worries. What happened to your back? Hope it feels better soon.
And @matthewsfive - good one! you're leaving 200 in the dust now - keep on going!2 -

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I had a huge laugh at myself yesterday, but today I'm limping about a bit. I was sitting here at the computer and apparently my right foot fell completely asleep. I was concentrated on what I was doing, so somehow did not feel this happening. The phone rang. I stood up to go answer it in the other room (stupid land line), took one step, and my ankle completely collapsed. Down I went. I crawled to the phone, worried it was my husband who was off on a motorcycle trip for the day. Good thing no one was around with a video camera. It was just the ophthalmologist's office reminding about an appointment. Grrrrrr. In any case, I sprained it - it is all swollen and a lovely shade of burgundy today, but I can still walk on it and it is just a bit cranky. Good excuse to lie on the couch with ice, right?5 -

I don't know what I did. I got home from the gym feeling ok, laid down on the bed and my lower back was just screaming pain.
It's a bit better now. I did some cardio to try keep it moving, the worst thing for back pain is laying still.
I hope your ankle feels better soon! RICE is pretty effective: rest, ice, compression, elevation.2 -
I hope the rest of these weigh-ins appears by morning... I'm heading for bed soon but will be up doing week 3 tallies bright and early tomorrow morning!!!1

This week’s challenge is brought to you by Team Weight No More.We want everyone to join us in a little self care this week. Self Care may sound indulgent but it is crucial for our physical, emotional and mental well-being.
Self-care produces positive feelings and boosts your confidence and self-esteem. Overwork and the accompanying stress and exhaustion can make you less productive, disorganized and emotionally depleted. It can also lead to all sorts of health problems, from anxiety and depression to insomnia and heart diseases. Professional self-care habits like taking intermittent breaks, setting professional boundaries, avoiding overextending, etc. ensures that you stay sharp, motivated and healthy.
Smart self-care habits like eating healthy, connecting with a loved one or, practicing meditation cuts down the toxic effects of stress by improving your mood and boosting your energy and confidence levels.Even little things like sipping tea while looking at the raindrops racing down the window glass, enjoying a bubble bath, or reading a book are essential for your daily happiness. Self-care is not just about your mental health. It’s also about caring for your physical self, by eating healthy, taking adequate sleep, caring about your hygiene, exercising regularly, etc.
This week take some time to practice a little self care and post it to your teams thread. The following chart shows some examples of simple things you can do each day to show yourself a little self love. You can follow the chart or do whatever you would like. It is all about you!

Steps for last week - I’m late so you can disregard if need be. They weren’t right anyway because I didn’t have my Fitbit on all the time.

Monday (tomorrow! yikes!) is the Equinox - welcome to Fall! The leaves are really getting beautiful here - another week or so and we'll be in full colour.
To celebrate the new season, we'd like to revive one of our earlier challenges - or discussions. Our wonderful motivator, @evangsimmons170 suggested this, but she is SO crazy busy these days, putting in 70 hour weeks, that I'll help out and put this up for her. I think it might be just the right thing for this last week of September.
Just ONE thing :
"Each of us can probably identify the one thing that if we did it, would automatically make other things fall into place. For example, if I would go to bed by 10 pm at the latest, I would have no problem getting up earlier to get a workout done. That would help me get to work earlier too. I think my bedtime is my one thing that triggers other things positively or negatively."
What is your one thing?
I have been thinking about this, and it is not always easy to put your finger on ONE thing. But I think I'm getting close. Someone on one of the other teams has been following a rather strict scheduling/calendar regimen. She puts everything on Google calendar (anything would work, hopefully one with reminders!). Cooking, workouts, work things, phone calls - you name it. I find that a bit too much, but I think the idea of scheduling things would be helpful. The idea spoke to me, and stuck in my mind, so I'm going to give it a try this week - put everything (within reason!) at a specific time, with a specific duration, and just do it as if it were an appointment or a meeting. Now that I don't work for anyone but myself, this has been difficult. It is easy to fall into the habit of just wandering through my day.
So give it a go - and report in as often as you can on how your action on that one thing is working.1 -

I am so sorry I haven’t been on and I posted my weigh in on a day early. I didn’t realize it! 🤦🏻♀️ Maybe this week I will be back on track with EVERYTHING! With volleyball, Cub Scouts, soccer, Awana and Sunday School I was a mess! It’s every week but last week just took a toll on me. I was unorganized which is NOT me and it drove me nuts!2
