@eggfreak Thanks for checking on me. I'm doing well now. Worked all week. In fact, it would be too long of a post to tell you how crazy of a workweek it was. Anyway, in the midst of the crazy, I've been more determined than ever to stay focused on my good health. I'm no good to anyone when I'm sick.3

Happy Sunday, folks!2 -
So the 5k just ended up being a walk with the dogs and husband, it took 1hr.. it didn't quite work out how i pictured it in my mind, but no biggie. We met upvwith friends friday to go to the RV show and then drinks and dinner, so I was impressed I even got up at 7am and ready to go... ... then we met up witn bil &sil and went Halloween shopping for hours.... shopping makes my back hurt so bad, its all that stopping and standing, so after about 4 hrs of that I was done...
Steps for the day = 12,734
Today we are going to Longwood Gardens, a 46 acre garden thing with various kinds of gardens and fountains and such... Then have to be home in time for the 4.30 football game... so its going to be another busy day...
Have a great day...7 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy Wow Longwood Gardens! I haven't been there in years. I'm originally from Philadelphia, PA but have been in Texas for the past 17 years. I'm sure Longwood Gardens was as beautiful as ever. Hope you can post some pics soon. Also hope you had a good time!1

Happy Sunday! I have some teenagers girl here for my daughter's 16th birthday. We got pizza and cake but I skipped the pizza and had one bite of cake. I feel good about that. I spent the day cleaning and grocery shopping. I am going to really tighten up diet this week. I am going to be realistic about my workouts. I am probably only going to get in 3. The baby wakes up to early. If I can, I will squeeze in some 10 or 20 min BOD workouts. I am going to start walking to work. It's still hot on the afternoon, but it's not that far.

Good morning!
Before I hit the tallies, I thought I'd say a quick hello. I find it interesting that three of you have mentioned getting food really together and not worrying about the exercise too much. I say you are spot on! @conleywoods @evangsimmons170 and @KellyBgetsfit (and anyone who is waiting for me to show up with cookies!) - I think you are on to a good thing here. I always found, both during the time I was working hard to lose weight and every time I have needed to recover from a period of slippage, that I really don't do well with exercise unless I get the diet part going first. Once I'm eating right, I actually feel like exercising, or at least that I'm not in such terrible shape that it is embarrassing. Eating right really changes the body feel. So go for it! Put down the cookies, grab those pickles, and grapefruits, and find the food combinations that work for you. Then exercise when you are feeling like you need to get stronger and feel even more like a superhero.

Figures. I'm down to 172 today now that my stomach ache is gone. =P
A whole pound overnight, sigh. Weight loss is so frustrating.7 -
@micki48 here are my steps for last week. Much more on track than I have been lately! (Apparently I still can't upload photos SO I will type it out. I wish MFP would figure it out! I still have to use a workaround to get to the Community boards too 😣)
9/13: 5,202 ⭐
9/14: 12,197 ⭐
9/15: 3,008
9/16: 7,262 ⭐
9/17: 2,556
9/18: 4,311
9/19: 5,977 ⭐
The few days I didn't meet goal (5000) I was so emotionally and physically drained after work I couldn't bother to do much else, and I decided I'm not going to feel bad about it.
I anticipate today being a busy day around the house and maybe a walk with Lola. I'm making a whole chicken in the crockpot today for the first time, hoping it turns out well! If it does I'll post the recipe in thr recipe forum.2 -
Way to go team on the weightloss! I anticipate being a much better contributor next week 😁2

The air is finally clearing here in the Pacific Northwest and it looks like today is going to be the day to lace up those shoes and get outside walking! I'm excited and looking forward to fresh air, crisp fall weather, and the sound of birds singing. Later we've got Seahawks football to cheer for. I love Sundays.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.

Longwood Gardens - what a lovely place. My hometown is Bethlehem, PA before I moved to Washington State some 20 years ago. Still get back east to see the family frequently but haven't been to Longwood Gardens in awhile.
Yes, post some pics! 1 -
Wooooo, go team!! We had an awesome week!!!2

Nice work everyone! Definitely a lot to be proud of this week. Today was our first day in over a week without smoke. So nice out today. I went on a walk which I haven't been able to do in too long. I think that is what I really have been wanting to do and that's why other exercise hasn't been motivating to me. I did a ballet workout too.
I meal prepped today. Made oatmeal with homemade apple topping. For lunches, I made pearl couscous, Moroccan seasoned chicken thighs and roasted cauliflower, green beans and red onions. The website had it at about 350 calories, but when I put it in MFP its about 80 calories higher 😑 Not sure what to think about that, but logged it as the higher calories.
So, my food is ready for Monday and should keep me on track this week. I still am deciding on a new goal but not sure how long term it should be or what. I obviously want to lose weight and being under 200 would be amazing! That's obviously a huge goal it's just the how and the mini goals. Sheesh!😳🤷♀️

I get it. I should have done it years ago but have put in motion getting my uk passport (damn it won't still be a EU passport) just to have, just to keep my options open, not going anywhere at the moment.
@eggfreak Are you a duel citizen? I think I remember you saying your parents were from UK. My niece is a dual citizen of US and Switzerland because long ago she married a Swiss guy. They are long divorced, but apparently she still gets to keep that.1 -
@micki48
remaining steps for the week!:
My daily goal is 10k.
I am also so, so sad about RBG. How many freakin rounds of cancer do you survive for it to finally do you in, in the worst year ever? Rest in power, Notorious.
Awesome Week!!! You have met your goal 7/7 days!!! I hear you. One of my good friends left me a really cool t-shirt with an RBG collar on it.1 -

I did not know you were from Philly. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and raised my family there until about 9 years ago. Cool! Yo! I knew I liked you! 0 -
Last call for steps. I'm going to wait until tomorrow to post results. There are seven people who haven't given me any step numbers for the week.
@Gidgitgoescrazy I am missing 9/18 for you
@YinxFed Missing 9/14, 9/15, 9/18, 9/19
I'll look for those tomorrow.0 -

Have a great day !

@micki48
Sorry to be so slow with my steps! They are all in now. I'll also go back and double check that I have put in everyone's exercise minutes. I made the mistake of starting a huge batch of green tomato relish yesterday, and then I had to finish it! Yikes. There was a ton of the stuff.
Today is freezer moving day - I'll finally have a freezer I can organise and find things in. I have a small chest freezer at the moment, and pawing through the piles of recently frozen vegetables is driving me nuts. I'm moving a big upright freezer that is at my son's house (it used to belong to my mother-in-law) - he never uses it and it's perfect! He gets the annoying one...
So! Here we are in week 4. We have 5 weeks this month, so there is time to hit those goals!
