Hello Team and Happy Saturday!!
The weather here has been surprisingly mild with tons of sunshine. My weight is up this morning but I think its because of the sodium from eating out on Thursday. My friend and I met for lunch but the service wasn't very good, our orders got mixed up and the food wasn't that great. I hate splurging on calories on a less than spectacular experience LOL. Yesterday I spent 3 hours on the tractor moving snow and widening driving areas. Today I forced myself to stay inside and clean... all this sunshine illuminates how dirty my house has become. The battery on my Dyson vacuum cleaner quit on me so I just caught up on 2 pages of posts while it recharges.
Nice loss @kirsten11872!
Glad you are feeling better @Mrsbell8well! Be careful not to overdue it!! And yes, the dogs will accompany me to PA
Sounds like a nice weekend @sleepymom5! Enjoy! I want to be lazy like Daisy!
LOL @Cafelelia I'm 50 and walk just like J Lo when hiking in the mountains
@lennoncpa I have got to try homemade hummus!!
@ljdanny Hope your grandaughter is here by now and all is well
Nice loss @timibotkin Hope you are feeling better this week.
@JillyBT So sorry about your week. Your parents are very lucky to have you as their daughter.
Better get going.... if I sit here too long I won't finish my housework. Have a great weekend everyone!!5 -
My granddaughter arrived yesterday morning just after 10. She had been pushing since 230am. We had to bring their dogs home with us. One of them has anxiety about being away. So Thursday and Friday were long nights. The baby jaundice level was getting a little high so the nurse had everyone leave and said no more visitors today. Just waiting for her results. Tonight's an early bed night.6

@sleepymom5 Molly loves your picture and advice not to be a lazy daisy lol!
Yesterday mom and I planned to shop st 2 grocery stores. I could only make it to one before I was derailed by another headache. Came home took pills and rested for 2 hours. I have some really strong extra strength tension excedrin that I used to take a year ago. It worked. Was able to go to dinner and the event. Lots of fun. Had drunken noodles for dinner. I’m sure they were lots of calories but do delicious!
Molly is being asked to apply for an organist position at a Lutheran church. We have never been to a Lutheran church so going to check it out this morning. I’m feeling much better and the weather is beautiful today.
Happy Sunday everyone! And thanks for the well wishes team.3 -

Saturday check in
I took it easy yesterday as I developed a sore throat. So it was a rest day for exercise, but food and water were on track. I was targeting a step average of 8k this week and I did it, so am very happy with how I am progressing post injury!

I have traveled to the great state of Texas for a few days due to a work conference. Made a plan for eating. Scheduled a yoga class at a nearby studio. Found some walking to do to see a few nearby sights. Glad I was prepared but I got the stomach flu which became quite apparent part way thru the yoga class and prevented me from eating anything for about 24 hours. Feeling better now. Had a great conference. Getting ready to eat my first restaurant meal of the whole trip prior to taking a taxi back to the airport. Hope it goes well.5

I have a son that lives in Chicago and he completed an indoor triathlon at his gym today. They swam for 20 minutes, then did spin bikes for 20 minutes and then got on the treadmill for 20 minutes. They measured the distance on each event and added them all together and that is how they determined the winner. Doesn’t that sound interesting? The winner completed like a little over 11 miles.7

Checking in for the weekend:
Spent Saturday cleaning house. Also went through our closet and now have a big bag of clothes to donate.... not necessarily because they don't fit but I just don't wear them anymore. Always makes me feel good to have a clean house or organize an area... two wins for the day LOL
Scratched what I had planned for dinner and made a casserole my mother always made. Was just really craving comfort food. Think the stress of the last two weeks caught up with me as my eating has been all over the place. Just not motivated like I was earlier this month
6,796 steps for the day. Water was pretty good
Sunday is laundry day and more chores. Ran some errands for my neighbor today. On my second trip down to her house I walked instead and brought our dog Willow. Couldn't take Gauge as he's still recovering from his ACL injury. She loved getting a visit from Willow. She's feeling really guilty that she hasn't been able to visit her husband but the care center told her to stay away for a week. I don't know why and didn't ask. I hope to be able to take her to see him one day this week and maybe take her out to eat.
Water not great, food not great but 12,479 steps as of 4 pm
@cyndiesstuff has been on my mind so much lately. Not sure why but I believe in intuition. If anyone has talked to her, send her my love and/or PM me.
I read somewhere that Magnesium in small amounts may be helpful for a better night's sleep so I have started taking one before bed. Sleeping somewhat better but I'm having more lucid dreams. Has anyone else heard of magnesium for sleep?
Let's get geared up/prepared for the week Team Weight No More!!

Saturday 2/22 check in
Food: logged but over
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: none
I spent my morning running errands. I stopped by the place I got my CPAP machine and had them check to see if the date and time on it was correct. I didn't know how to check. They showed me how since it was in a special menu I didn't know I had. Turns out the date was correct but the time was 2 hours later than the actual time. No wonder my sleep medicine doctor thought I was staying up really late after work. I sent him a message letting him know on that and asked him a question I thought of after my appointment. The weather was pretty nice here. Low 40's, sunny but the wind made it feel cold. I took my car through the car wash so now it's clean again, at least until it snows again this week.
Sunday 2/23 check in
Food: logged and just a little over
Water: 48 oz
Exercise: 45 minute walking video
After church this morning I read some more of my book club book. Had dinner with my dad and then slept all afternoon to get back to my 3rd shift schedule. Mandatory 2 hours OT tonight. The extra money is nice but I'm getting tired of the extra work. I applied for a daytime job yesterday(not at my current employer) Not sure if I"ll get a reply. As I was going through the process, they were asking for qualifications I don't have so we"ll see. I"l just have to keep looking.2 -
@nstephenson01 I will pass on your message to Cyndie. I haven’t heard from her since New Years.2
-
Saturday 2/22 and Sunday 2/23check in
Food: Not logged and probably over. Saturday was better than Sunday
Water: out of my routine, 64 on Saturday, 40 today
Exercise: Good! 2-30 min walks plus additional leisurely walks each day-Saturday shopping and Sunday along the beach. Saturday a good PT, Stretching a strength session, today just a quick one.
I have been terrible with logging food and exercise on MFP. I will have to make that a goal this week. I am still struggling with eating and am gaining. I am going to also focus this week on paying attention to my hunger scale and not snacking between meals. I am very happy with my exercise and steps this month. It is awesome to feel so good and be able to walk and get all these steps without suffering afterwards.
Thank you all for being patient with my crazy schedule lately, especially my awesome co captain Lisa. It just seems like so much has been going on. Tomorrow I am going home from the shore early, MK was sick and my husband brought her home. I have to get her back to school, walk Charlie and then get a mammogram(oh joy!). I will be back to my regular routine after that. I hope... I did have a nice time with my friends this weekend. They didn't leave until 7ish tonight so I am a little behind but I am so happy we had such a lovely weekend.
I will be back at some point tomorrow!
WTG Team Weight No More! 1st place for percentage and pounds lost!!
Congrats to our 2nd place winner @GingerPwr for percentage lost and to our 3rd place winner @CassieGetsFit2013 for pounds lost.
Congrats to our teams biggest losers @GingerPwr @Amsandos and @CassieGetsFit2013 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place on our team!
Congrats to our step winners- @brown6267 and @ljdanny Impressive stepping ladies!
@kirsten11872 Nice loss! You have been doing well so I am not surprised!
@nstephenson01 Sounds like a very productive Saturday! Actually a productive week with all you have done for your neighbor too. I am wondering if they don't want her to visit because they want to get him settled in and in a routine without her as a visual reminder of his home. Not sure though. I have been thinking of Cyndie too. I haven't heard since New Years either
I also don't have any experience with the magnesium and sleep but would be interested in hearing if anyone else has information on it.
@ljdanny Congratulations!! How exciting! I was wondering if she was here yet! What is her name? I assume besides the jaundice everything is ok? What did they name her?
@brown6267 Awesome steps! Over 17,000 is amazing!!
@Mrsbell8well Sounds like a nice day! I am glad your headache went away and you were able to enjoy!
@phoebe112476 Ugh! Glad you are feeling better now. Safe travels.
@CassieGetsFit2013 You got this Cassie!
@lennoncpa That is so cool! What an interesting and fun way to do a triathalon!
@KUMEcyclingteam That looks delicious! You have really set yourself up for a good week my friend! BAM! Dinner is done!! And I did notice the mini bam but didn't know what it was Lol!
@tryingagain5 Good thing you had the date and time checked, especially since the doctor uses that data. Seems like you had a productive weekend. Good luck with the job search. Hopefully you hear back from that job you applied for.4 -

Let's not forget the Leaping-groundhogs challenge!
Sunday's challenge-Day 22 - February 23. Discovering the most effective eating and exercise regime is often a question of experimentation until you find the one that works best for you. What have you tried? What have you discovered that did NOT work for you? Quote of the day - “I have not failed 500 times. I have successfully discovered 500 ways that do not work.”

#Monslay check in...
Up with the birds, cycled to work. If I ignore the incredibly steep hill right by my house that only electric bikes cycle up, I cycled up every other hill to and from work today. And there are some big ones that just about made me cry to walk up a few weeks back. And that hill by my house is going down soon. It will not conquer me!
Other than that, I'm starving and I'm going to wind up over calories for the day but on balance for the week I'm fine. Heaps of water, and I walked 10km yesterday for exercise.
I had a migraine on Friday/Saturday and the walk really helped clear the final bits of it. My recovery from migraines is so much quicker when I'm fitter, it's crazy.
@timibotkin awesome stepping you're getting in there!
@lennoncpa I'm happy your hummus turned out well, and that gym challenge sounds awesome. I would have been all over that a few years back (before I was broken lol)
@tryingagain5 Good luck with the job search/application
@KUMEcyclingteam Yummy looking food!
@nstephenson01 I really need to have a good clean out of clothes. I have so many different sizes, but stuff I know I won't wear again. Every so often I go through and donate stuff but I'm well over due to do so!
@CassieGetsFit2013 Just keep going! The scale is a fickle master, and it doesn't tell the whole truth! So many things unrelated to fat loss can effect scale weight, but it all evens out in the end. It can just take time. Make sure to take measurements as well (which I also need to do!) Even if you know this, I'm saying it because I know after losing 160lbs I used to get so frustrated when the scale didn't move. I knew why, but I let it frustrate me and in the end it's not worth it. Time will pass, the scale will move. Keep going, you got this!
@ljdanny Congratulations on grandbaby!
@sleepymom5 and @Cafelelia keep being your awesome selves, you two rock!3 -
