    Hey team ! Happy October !
    I got up and did my 40 min video, and was late for work, because I got halfway through my morning meditation thing and hated it, so I played a different one...

    I started using my planner, remember the one where I gave myself stickers... Yup gonna use it and reward myself with stickers :blush:

    Todays goals are:
    Morning meditation from fitbit app ( DONE)
    40 Min video before work ( DONE)
    3 Round the block walks while at work
    The firm 30 video when I get home
    Earn my $3 (1/3 done)

    I was going to take one of the pupper to the park to walk after work, but turns out I was able to get the other pup a vet appt for this evening, she is having some inflammation on the tops of her back paws, so I think it's allergies, but I'll get her looked at to make sure, plus she needs her yearly heartworm test.

    Did you guys know fitbit has meditation bits on the app now.. I just found them yesterday, they are okay, I did find one that got on my nerves, but I've actually never used a meditation app so I really have no idea if it are good or not.. You get more if you sign up for premium, but they are offering a 90 day free trial, which takes you to the end of the year, so I told my hubby if I like this, he can buy premium for me as a Christmas gift.. LOL

    I know I wanted to say something else, but for the life of me I can't remember...

    Anyway Have a great day !

    @jugar you made me laugh! Had not considered training the dog to bark when opening frig but not a bad idea and doable. The dog is trained to speak. You certainly gave me a mental image so maybe I won't have the dog ratting me out.

    Woof!

    It's a beautiful morning, so before the clouds come back and the leaves all finish falling down, I'm going on a hike. Nothing too huge or long, but up a good little mountain to have fabulous views of the Coaticook gorge. I have to be careful going to Coaticook, though. There is an ice cream factory and a brewery there - across the road from one another! I'll try not to go by there...

    Have a great day - and keep those plans coming!

    @krcapone78 Welcome aboard! I think the Covid-19 situation has caused a lot of us to make some changes. You've come to the right place.

    @micki48 Good news on your daughter's test results.

    @spyro88 A baby journey...very exciting! Fingers crossed for you both.

    @Terytha Hoping your day ends better than it started. Hugs through my screen to you! And Thanksgiving is right around the corner.

    All these inspirational goals for October. Time to put on my thinking cap and make some changes since the last couple months have not been stellar for me.

    I made it! I had such a good time on my hike this morning that I did a second trail (in the same park) after finishing the first. Not too long, but a really spectacular view down a gorge from a scary pedestrian suspension bridge (the longest one in the world!). I really enjoyed just being out, walking, seeing somewhere new - I have lived in the same place for the past 30 years, and never yet went to this park that is only 20 minutes away. Glad I went. And I was alone on the trails the whole time!

    I find it easier to eat right when I have been more active, out of my usual routine, and breathing lots of good outdoor air. So today has been a good day all around. I wish I could share it with you @terytha ! You keep finding a few minutes here and there to enjoy, ok? And that dinner you are planning sounds delish.

    All right - time to gear up for the last 2 days of this month's challenge. Friday weigh-ins group:

    Took a mile walk with Juliet and my hubby today. Took about 25 minutes. She wanted to see Halloween decorations and we counted pumpkins on porches. Did my PT exercises while she napped.

    Food was so so. Had takeout here. SIL brought it over because my daughter was here with a terrible headache, probably a migraine and I continued to watch my granddaughter.

    I need to get about 600 more steps to hit my goal today.

    Welcome to all our new members. Glad to have you join us.

    @jugar your hike sounds wonderful.

    @Gidgitgoescrazy I love your calandra with stickers. I will definitely try the meditation.

    @spyro88 Wishing you all the best on your baby journey. How exciting!

    @Terytha How awful! Backed up sewer. Yuck! Hope tomorrow is brighter for you.

    Glad to hear from you all. Now I need to go get in those 600 steps before bed.

    @spyro88 I just went to the Tracker and noticed that you put your goals on the Downsizers tab instead of Waistaways. Just wanted you to know. We want you on our team. :)

    I have met my step goal for today, so yay! And I went and filled out my goals for the tracker which starts with our official October start on the 4th.

    @micki48 D'oh! I never was very good with spreadsheets - sorted now! The walk sounds fun. I am always a little envious that Halloween is so big in the US. We still have trick or treating and dressing up in the UK but it's not such a big event and much more for the kids... but I do love it ;)

    @Terthya Oh my gosh, what a rubbish time you are having of it. Well done on not comfort/ emotional eating. Hope that the allergies subside soon.. I know the feeling and it's really not fun!

    @YinxFed Awesome that you have put down some goals, I think it's been so hard with Covid, I know a lot of people who have become a bit agoraphobic and not without good reason! Good luck.

    good morning,
    @Terytha I hope you didn't lose any important things in your flooded basement. Hope the rash is better today too and you can focus on preparing for a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Ours comes later of course but you've put it in my head now, I might have to have a mini-T-day meal this month.
    @YinxFed Hope you get out for some good fall walks...One thing that drives me outside is knowing that, between the early dark and winter weather, we'll be cooped up soon enough. My dad especially, in a wheelchair. But we have enough room on our sidestreets to avoid close encounters with other people, you might have a denser neighborhood.
    @jugar Wish I could have joined you on that hike! Sounds fabulous!
    @micki48 and what is Juliet going to dress up as for Halloween? One of my favorite times of the year, no matter the commercialism (and candy!) around it. People get so creative with costumes & house decorations...fun to see. on the internet just yesterday I saw a GREAT costume for an infant..it was a baby in an octopus costume - she could just lay in this snuggly costume with 8 great big tentacles hanging around her. : )

    Eating seems back on track -easier of course, that I've been in the office this week. I find I do eat most of my snacks too early in the day but at least the vending machines are empty so I don't have that option. Was stress-driven to a glass of wine last night (and there was an already opened bottle) but blech, it didn't taste good and I tossed the whole glass and poured the rest of the bottle out - it hadn't gone off but was a 'buttery' chardonnay which is really not my thing. So no more open bottles, yay!

    Friday weigh in
    PW 88.6 kg
    CW: 90 kg
    I know weight fluctuations are normal but it's still so disheartening after trying so hard this week. In fact, weight was down mid-week and was so excited to weigh in, anticipating a nice drop!
    I was super careful with food and worked out every day. Urgh...now will have to struggle not to take out my frustration on chocolate!

    So made all my goals yesterday, took the pupper to the vet, she is apparently allergic to her food... so she gets to do an elimination diet... I am pretty sure it's the lamb though.. That bill sucked though... She has pet ins, so atleast all her allergy shots/tests for the rest of the year are covered... Didn't get to eat dinner until 7.30 - thats really late for me, I normally am done by 6... We picked up Mission BBQ on the way home, I don't know if you guys know that place, but they have really good smoked turkey, and I got a side salad to go with it. I normally get french fries, cause they have such good ones, but I was good and got a salad...

    This morning was 30 min video, and I will do 3 walks during the work day, then I will do some yoga when I get home.. Then I am relaxing this evening, I will find a mindless movie to watch and just chill...

    Tomorrow I am taking my daughter car test driving, she needs a new one, she is trying to get it together, she got a second job, and has stopped her partying ways a bit. So I am trying to be supportive of her, and not be such a nagging mother... After that Hubby and I are going to the sister in laws to help her plan the Halloween decorations, we are having a small party on Halloween with the family... We are even doing costumes, I am going to be the Mad Hatter, and my hubby will be the White Rabbit.. My GF is going as Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and her husband is going as a Taco... get it ? .... Together they are Taco Belle... I giggled so much when she told me that... I am not that creative... I just found a costume I liked, and then picked out what hubby could be to match... LOL

    I think before I meet her I will take the big pup to the park for a long walk, I will do it by myself, because I decided me time is good, I love my husband, but him not feeling well is taking a toll on my attitude, and they past few weekends I've been able to spend some time away from him (that isn't work) and it's been very helpful, so since I don't want to make plans to go away for the next few weeks, I'm thinking solo hike/walks will be just as good..

    Have a great weekend everyone !
