Yay. When I woke up with numb hands from water retention I was a little worried about my weigh in. I ate a lot of inflammatory foods yesterday; sugar, dairy, white flour plus eggs and celery which are on my allergy list. I should see a decent loss next weigh in if I stick to my food plan1 -

I tend to overdo it on the weekend and then by Monday I'm in pain! good steps though!2 -
Hey @leonadixon -- 🎈 Good for you for getting the steps in, and do be sure to take good care of yourself! ⛑️ Better to ramp up exercise slowly than hurt yourself doing too much! 🚶🏿😊 👐
@Katmary71 - Hang in there and keep doing all the good work! 💪🏽 Sometimes lots of workouts causes me to retain water (recovery, I think), so maybe you, too. You are doing so great. Long-term, those birthday dinners will just be in the noise. And, hey, 2 birthday dinners! You had a lot of birthday love going around!! 🎂🎁🎈🎉🍾
@mrmcgrath - Oh my gosh, working on one house with the plan to tackle another next! It's a great problem to have AND it sounds like a lot of work! 💪🏽💪🏽 The part of me that has been known to watch remodeling shows thinks some parts could be fun. Though those shows always gloss over the sweat and the time! 😅😅😅2 -

Monday Check-in:
Calories: under, carb count is wayyyyy over
Water: over
Exercise; 30 minutes of 21-Day Fix (Dirty 30)
A friend who I hadn't seen in a couple of years came to town and took me to lunch. It was fun and I did my best by having a grilled chicken salad without a bunch of stuff on it. Although I did eat every single candied pecan on the salad, so my carb count went out the window.
Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with another friend at Jason's Deli. I have already looked at the menu and will stay on plan!!
STEP CHALLENGE
Today we have been counting our steps for one week and we are rocking it!!
Once I get everyone step count for today I will post a graph and announce our weekly winner!
I do need the following counts:
@its_cleo, 10/5
@bethanie0825, 10/5 & 10/6
@digger61, 10/6
@raleighgirl09, 10/4,10/5,10/6
If you already posted your steps and I missed it then please forgive me and post again.
I'm trying to make sure to check every one of your posts but I'm sure things slip by me. It really helps me if you post and bold it! 
If any of you want to participate in the step challenge who isn't just let me know and get to counting and recording those steps!!

Monday checkin (or - Sat-Mon checkin!!)
Steps: so many days behind in reporting! 10/4 - 15,739, 10/05 - 13,849, 10/06 - 11,947, 10/07 - sadly, under at 9.328 @TeresaW1020 - apologies for a deluge of info!
5 for 90:
Make time for yourself: very light on me-time as I had guests and there hasn't been much alone time to be had
Exercise 30 minutes a day: a 3 mile intentional walk each day and then various walking to shop or adding another small walk
Hydrate: on target
Give up a trigger behavior: most definitely have to be mindful not to let a slack weekend turn into a slack week following it!!!
Thankful for: cooling weather and a wonderful visit with family
Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey
Too many calories on most days for the last several and eating into the deficit created by some good exercise and walking. Plenty of hydration and don't feel I was out of control, but was not avoiding everything that would have been more in line with goals. On to a new week - and no company next weekend... =>3 -

1. Time - well, I decided not to do a thing I was due to do and went to bed instead.
2. Exercise - 8583 steps
3. hydration, yes - just about
4. Trigger food - still no booze. Did buy crisps. Better breakfast today!
