Hi everyone, thanks for having me here. Am not new to fat2fit but new to Trimstones as crossing over from... Am a mother of 2 Gems ie Gold being 12 and Diamond will be 6 later in the month. This is the longest and the most committed to my fitness issue thanks to the pandemic's lockdown. Exercise wise in most cases I tend to do a very long walk varying in its intensity, am aiming to tweek it this month and see how it goes. My weight loss has been a low and steady race. I hope I will be able to achieve a further loss with the group support. Today I Calebrated on my page and in my heart a big 7kg loss in total, it's a very good feeling giving me a reason to carry on.
CW 224.5/101.8kg (as of 01/08/20)
Mini GW 95kg (I like the idea of a small goal that I look at feeling am very close to it and when that is achieved I set another one till I reach my final goal).
Overall GW 75kg. I will like a weekly weigh in on a Saturday.
I am starting August afresh as it appeared I had fallen off the wagon for few weeks. Daily steps will be in excess of 15k but on a rest day I aim for 5k.
Once again thanks for having me on board.

Hi Jessica,
Thanks for adding me,my daily goal is 10000 steps.As from tomorrow,I get it 😆1 -
@mynacha73 And just in time to miss the storm...awesome! Glad you're safe with the fur baby...it's been many years, but I visited San Francisco and it was beautifully...was this a work opportunity? What do you do? I'm sure you'll have a lovely time! New house or apartment? Please share some photos!! Would love to see...what was the best part of the trip? My cat is not a good traveler, as she gets car sick...so I usually only take her if I have to go inland due to a storm or such...and now that she's older (12) I just don't want to put her through it. With the pandemic, I'm not doing any travel anyway...bet that added to some drama of your journey too...please stay safe.

Today's discussion surrounded "Ann's Prune Cake"...now it sounds horrible, but anyone who bakes knows that prunes, like applesauce, can be used for moisture in baking. This is one of the richest cakes I've ever eaten and I'm not a sweets person. It was one of my favorites as the great thing about it is the moistness of it and it's not covered up by a whole bunch of frosting, as it has a clear glaze sauce over it...it's just amazing.
Long story short, I found mom's old recipe box in my kitchen (duh, I know--why didn't I start there, instead of searching through boxes). The card itself is covered in stains where it was used for many years. Now, I can't stop crying about that little green and white kitchen where I grew up watching her in her joy...she used to sing while she baked. Gosh I miss her.
Mom died 9 years ago, Jul 1st, 2011. She was 81.
I celebrated today by sharing that recipe with my brother (who's 14.5 years older than me) and posting the recipe on my Recipe Group. She'd like that I did that. I hope somebody makes her cake.
Hope ya'll are having a nice weekend. If anyone would like that recipe and you promise not to let it derail your diet, drop me an email (jakrall@cox.net) and I'll get it to you.
Jessica
Wow Jessica, this post really brings back memories for me.
My dads favorite cake was prune cake. It was a recipe from his mom. My mom made it once a year, September 7, for his birthday. It’s a rich cake, but very moist, and it had a lemon glaze over it. My dad got dementia and stopped caring about food years before he died, but it’s nice to remember his favorite cake.2 -

So I guess this is me demonstrating that the path to weight loss never runs completely smoothly! 😁
I got with 1lb of my goal weight and now have increased two weeks on the trot. Ah well. I was drinking salty margaritas last night so no doubt water retention is playing a part in the scale reading.2 -
I've been making 10k a day steps for 75 days in a row. Time to step up the challenge methinks. @jessicakrall8 can you stick me down for 12k a day in August please.3

Think I'll stay with 8,600 step goal.2 -
