my steps were horrible last week. yikes!!! have to change that, i will be heading out for a walk in a bit. i also want to try an organize the garage today. had a nice day yesterday at the cookout. only had 2 drinks and did not go crazy with the food. my dog came along also she is still tired from the long day. this is my last week off then back to work, hoping thats going to go well. we have a staff meeting this week, im hoping that is going to go well, sometimes those can get a little crazy, people get mad easy and with everything going on it shouldn't take much. i am also hoping my pool gets done this week. my hairdresser did call yesterday and say they can now do full services so my sunday appointment can be normal, that was exciting. so some things are getting back to normal.3

Daily Check In: Saturday 5/22
Logged food: yes on track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 50 min walk, PT and stretching (same for Friday, I forgot to include it yesterday)
Sorry a quick check in today. I have to get to church! Good day yesterday! I am on a roll. Hope everyone has a wonderful end of the weekend! xo
Not too bad Weight No More-50% in the green, we are half way there! Let's finish May strong and get that percentage up
@kirsten11872 I know you aren't in the right mindset right now. Maybe you can start where you are at and just make small changes. Maybe start with an easy workout like the walking videos. I always like those because they are quick and you rack up a lot of steps. They have a mile in 15 min. Also maybe small changes in your diet too, not sure what you are doing there. Maybe eliminate one snack or don't take seconds. You can build on those the following week. Whatever works for you. You can do this, a lot of us are struggling right now. Hang in there! xo
@Cafelelia I didn't realize you still had 5 weeks left of school! We are usually out mid June here. It seems like people around here are getting lax with the social distancing too. I hope this reopening goes well, time will tell. I didn't know about Captain Tom. We need more stories like that in the news!
@timibotkin I think the evening weights are higher so I don't think you have to worry. I hope everything is going well with you.
@twyla77 It sounds like your cleanse is going well so far. Hopefully day 3 and 4 aren't as bad as you heard. Remember if you aren't feeling well, you really don't have to continue it. Listen to your body. I am sure what you have done already is good enough to reset your eating.
Those muffins sound yummy, even better since they are so healthy.
@JillyBT You (and your Mom) haven't had it easy lately. I am glad to hear she didn't break anything with her fall. Hugs to you both. Looks like you did awesome with your steps though. Nothing like looking out on the ocean to take away the stress of the day.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Maintaining isn't bad and like you said, you will most likely have a drop soon. I am the same way with certain foods. It is easier not to have them in the house for me.
@annliz23 Nice loss and awesome steps! Love that you were able to incorporate in yoga and pilates too! Great job this week!
@brown6267 Another great week with steps! Hope all is well!
@ljdanny They weren't your usual but you finished the week strong. I am glad that the cookout was fun and you did well. It is nice when you can stay on plan and have a good time. Hope you have a nice productive week before you head back to work. It is nice to see things opening up, especially the hair dresser Lol! Stay safe.4 -

Today is starting out well. I got in a 30 minute medium intensity workout while I did laundry.
Went to my church's drive in service. They told us ahead if we wanted to bring chairs that we could sit outside. It's beautiful here today. Was 75 already at 9:30 this morning. It was really a beautiful service today and just being able to see people outside of their cars was really nice.
Now I'm off to walk with a neighbor.2 -

Week 4
Weigh In Day: Sunday May 24
Previous Weight: 140.1
Today’s Weight: 135.1
Well, due to the cleanse I’m on I don’t think it’s really fair to count that as a ‘loss’ but im feeling so much more comfortable in my belly area and just ‘lighter’ in general.
I’ve been flavouring my water with fresh mint, cucumber & lemon to help me drink enough, as staying hydrated is key on this cleanse.
@sleepymom5 you are so right - if the side effects of the cleanse are too much I will definitely stop - thank you for saying that - sometimes I feel like if I start something I have to finish it! It’s like forcing myself to finish reading a terrible novel, why do I do that lol! Anyways, so far so good, so maybe I won’t experience all the bad stuff, fingers crossed.
@tryingagain5 - I love that your church offers a Drive-In Service! What a cool way to get everyone back together in a safe way, and it must feel so good to see everyone again, even if from a distance!
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!5 -
Congratulations to our Week 3 top “losers” this week: @lenka1, @freeglerock and @CassieGetsFit2013!!

Saturday check in
Food - On plan
Water - 2l
Exercise - 5 km walk
Yesterday was a good day. The weather was so nice and we spent a lot of the day outdoors in our yard. I reached a personal best this week in averaging over 10k steps per day! This is a huge milestone for me since I have not been able to do that in about a year due to my injury. I have been working on building my strength and endurance since I was sick in April, and I am so happy to reach this milestone!
@twyla77 - It makes sense to shake things up and it looks like the cleanse is working! I agree with Pam re the advice about how you feel. Those muffins look delicious!
@tryingagain5 - Way to go staying active! It must have been so nice to attend your service in person!
@sleepymom5 - You did well yesterday! Hope that you are enjoying church! Yes, school goes to right to the end of June here. The workload is usually lighter for the last two weeks, but who knows with virtual schooling.
@ljdanny - You will get your steps back up, don’t worry. You are so luck to be able to go to the hairdresser!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - I find I go through food jags as well, and best just not to have those foods in the house for a wil.
@JillyBT - Amazing steps! I am so sorry about your mom and luckily, nothing was broker. Sending you a big hug!
@timibotkin - Sorry about that gain, but yes, evening weigh ins are most often not accurate. Maybe try in the morning in a day or two to see.1 -
This was Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto yesterday. We are in Phase 1 reopening, which means no gatherings of more than 5 people! It was mostly young adults, and in fairness to them, this is a part of the city with high density in condo and apartment buildings, with too little green space. We have been in quarantine for almost 10 weeks as well. The police will be fining today, but I have a feeling that all Torontonians will suffer for this in the coming days as the government will likely slow further reopening. Big sigh. @1theresamcvean - We have another beautiful day today, so please stay clear of Trinity Bellwoods and from what I hear, the Lakeshore too!3 -

😭 I did good all week! I felt kind of proud of myself and I never do that! I felt like I was really going to have a good loss. 😕 I am on my 3rd day of TOM...So that could be it, I'm not sure. I mean, it is only 0.4lbs...Should I not beat myself over that? Maybe this means I shall have a very good loss next week! IF I do good this week of course! 🙃7 -
Hi all,
@Mrsbell8well - it is so true how much time it takes for self care and health. I know that is one of the biggest reasons I have got to the place I am now as I have always found it so much quicker and easier to just eat out or throw something unhealthy into the oven/microwave rather than cook, or to chill on the sofa rather than doing an exercise class. It's still very much a battle for me sometimes.
@GingerPwr - hope you had a lovely anniversary - 21 years is an amazing achievement
@twyla77 - sounds like the cleanse is working for you! The muffins look yum
@JillyBT - oh no, hope your mum's feeling better. I love the ocean, used to go every few weeks as it's not far on the bus and it's def something I can't wait to get back to when the restrictions ease up a bit
@CassieGetsFit2013 - try not to feel discouraged. 0.4lb is more of a maintain than a gain really and have a feeling you'll see a drop once TOM is done with x
Been a bit under the weather the past few days, not sure what is up with me but just been very tired and achey with some blinding headaches (at least there's no cough!). Tried to stick to my calories but haven't felt up to exercising so hopefully that won't put me back too much. Restrictions have only been eased here to the extent that you can now leave the house for 'unlimited' exercise rather than once a day, so the footpaths/parks are busier than ever. I live close to a canal and used to walk a lot on the towpath but it's absolutely jammed at all hours of the day at the moment - and with it only being narrow there's just no option for people to distance on it. I've been avoiding it completely but do miss a bit.

@twyla77
Thanks, it was very nice. It is strange not being in the building but the church isn't the actual building but the people. The interaction was nice. Worshipping online isn't the same as being with other believers, especially when I'm sitting in my living room by myself.
Some people stayed and talked a while but I had to meet my neighbor to walk so I didn't stay too long.2 -
My weekend in pics:
Molly snapped this picture of me cleaning Skylynn’s room.
Sour dough starter day 7. Tomorrow I bake bread.
Biscuits and gravy vegan style with kohlrabi greens. I have a new southern vegan cookbook. I let Molly choose the first recipe. Greens was my idea.
Spent a lovely afternoon at the brewery with Molly’s sister.5 -

Thanks! I'll look at it as a maintain then! Who knows, I went on a very long walk earlier, I might have burned that off! Hehe. I really hope for a loss next week! I just have to work at it and have a good week, exercise and calories!

Thanks for posting this, Lisa. It hit us particularly hard and I'm sorry but I have a rant. My daughter, Elisabeth, lives at Ossington and Dundas ~ sorry to everyone who can't picture where I'm talking about, but this park is where she walks her dog. It's a short block away from her home. Because she has cancer and some other health issues, she is immune-compromised. This park had thousands of people in it yesterday. One neighbour who was interviewed said it was like Woodstock without the washrooms. My daughter's anxiety is heightened right now because she feels absolutely trapped in her apartment and I am on the verge of tears. Hot, angry tears. She tried to go to the drug store yesterday, but the crowds heading to this park on the streets all around it kept her back and she went home. Some news reports say there were 10,000 people there over the course of the day and they were reckless, drinking alcohol out in the open, kissing people they had just met that day, defecating on lawns, not a mask in sight. Some people say, kids have to be kids, but this is not the time for that. My daughter is only 30. She knows what it's like to want to have fun. This used to be her park but it's absolutely a nightmare if you live there. We have lived in a very urban setting all of her life. We've had three houses right on the subway line over the years. We had a gate out of our backyard that led to Spadina station. And now from my front window, I can see Bathurst Station. Again, apologies for those who don't know where I'm talking about. That was my choice. I am really wondering if downtown is sustainable. I did a distance visit with Elisabeth in the back yard of her apartment building today. I feel just desperate about it. Thanks for listening.9 -
I managed to do well all day. After church I walked with my neighbor for about 45 minutes. Later walked with another neighbor and her dog at a local park about 15ish minutes from where we live. We walked by the river. Some of the path was flooded and the water very high. We both took some pictures. I'll try to post them. I spent so much time outside that I got a bit of a tan.
I got a text from my boss earlier that said I am not to report to work tomorrow. We're off tonight because it's 3rds holiday. They only need 4 people tomorrow and I'm not one of them. Hopefully I get to work Tuesday night. My first reaction was wanting to go eat. Get in some comfort food. I didn't do that. Giving myself credit for not giving in.
Stayed under my calorie limit and got a lot of exercise but not enough water.5
