@Megan_smartiepants1970
Woops, I thought I pledged before November that my goal is 6K steps a day. No worries at all. If you don't mind, add me to the spread sheet. I have been posting my steps here. If it is any easier for you, I can go back to 11/1 and post those previous steps when I post my steps for today. That way you don't have to scour through all the previous posts
You are already on the spreadsheet I have all your steps ...I didn't have your goal of 6000 on the spreadsheet... I apologize2 -

* Track food ✅
* Stay under calorie goal ✅
* Not restrict ✅
* Drink 2L water minimum ✅ (Or at least I will have after a nice big glass of water lol)
Walks this week- 0 (goal of 3)
I was going to take a walk but my tummy has been feeling a bit off the last couple of hours and I didn't want to risk feeling dodgy on my walk, with no-where to go the washroom lol. I am hoping I'll feel better in the morning and I'll go first thing.
Still feeling really off beam, reached out to a few people and had a talk with my therapist today, so I'll be ok.
My wife and I had a nice dinner out. I wanted to avoid fast food so we went to an italian restaurant and sat on the patio, only our second meal out together since covid happened- the first was her birthday in July. even though I had some garlic bread with my meal, I was still under calories which is awesome.
All in all, an ok day 2 -
@littleflutterby
I loved your post to lindamtuck2018!!
I have a few rooms to clean out (actually more than a few, lol.) I am going to use part of your excellent strategy.
I was interested in you having been a competitive swimmer in the past. I have never been a swimmer, but I like the water. In 2008, I learned to swim one month before competing in a triathlon..... Believe it or not it wasn't a disaster. I paid a little extra for a single lane. Otherwise, the other swimmers would have drowned me, I was so slow!!
That is really impressive! I swam from the ages of 8-16 competitively. After I lost weight in 2011/12 I was going to join a masters team but I didnt get a call back.... and that was just a miscommunication because the head coach was my old county swimming coach. He said he wasn't told I came for a trial -_-
But by that time I was planning a move to Canada, and the prices here are ridiculous. But maybe one day I'm sure the technique is still there somewhat but I'd have to work on my stamina.
I am a proper waterbaby. I feel so natural in water. Try and get me to run and my limbs just go all gangly lol1 -
Also today's steps are at 4,000 (I'll make sure of it before i get in bed haha).
Can I have a target of 4,000 please? I think that is a good idea since it will get me to move around on my days off1 -

We are halfway through the week Team!!
I had such a busy day yesterday cleaning up house (slowly), laundry, and momming pretty much all day lol. I may have over done it as I was so so tired and sore by bed time. Today I plan on taking it much easier. Will continue laundry but won’t over do it. Just happy my house is clean and most of the laundry is done. Working on bedsheets now.
I’m just having my breakfast then I’ll wash up and change my bandages as I can now do them on my own. I’m finally allowed to have a proper shower so I’m pretty excited about that. My surgeon says all is healing well but to continue to go slow until I’m fully healed. He’s very happy with results as am I. The scales are still going down quite fast which has surprised me. I hope it doesn’t spike before the end of the week. I know this is because I’m no longer swollen from my surgery.
It’s a bank holiday in France today so I’ve got all the kids home. The plan is to lounge around, go out for our walk this afternoon, and probably spend the day playing video games together on the switch.
Wishing you all a happy hump day friends ❤️
November goals:
•Achieve at least 30 active minutes daily.
•Drink at least 2L water daily.

Good morning everyone
Today I decided to make it my day and give to my body what my body wants.
And so far is working.
I woke up when my body wanted and I must say that even the scale liked it. I went 1,8 kg down from yesterday.
I prepared my breakfast and sit while eating it impressive
I took my time to read all of you. I cleaned a bit. Not much at the time.
And I have been cuddling my cat for a really long time.
I'm going to do some important things that at the same time are creative and enjoy while doing it.
I wanna have a positive vibe day and do what I need to do but in slow motion.
So far it feels good. Even the cravings are gone.
I have until 17:00 for myself 😊
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
What is your favourite sport to do at home?
I hope you managed to keep your day as positively as you started it Ziortza.
My favorite home sport is anything workout video really. I love Shawn T and an. His insanity videos.
I have been lazy with tracking and eating too many sweets. Staying consistent with exercise has become easier for me but I still need to work on the rest. There is still a chance I can Squeak out a small loss this week so that is what I will focus on today. Yesterday and today will be low for steps since the kids are home but I will hopefully get that average back up later in the week depending on weather which looks questionable.
Sometimes it’s nice to have a lazy day. I plan on having one today! Keep consistent and you will se those results. I’ve also been struggling with the sweets this week. I’ve now hidden them from my sight so I dont think about it. Fingers crossed for some good weather ❤️@Z10Rtza
Yes. I host a virtual coffee almost every week with a group of friends! I also am doing a virtual book club! It's lots of fun!
This is really such a wonderful idea. I’m thinking of hosting a virtual dinner with my in-laws on Friday night. So glad I read this idea here.iHUSTLE4MUSCLE wrote: »@mari_moulin Thank you for posting your progress pictures. Inspirational changes, you must feel great. I hope your son feels better soon.

Thank you so much! Yes he is feeling so much better today. He’s not happy as we’ve limited his sweets to one a day but he does remember how poorly he felt only 2 days ago so he quickly forgets about them.littleflutterby wrote: »PW - 344.6

The biggest step I have made is I have compassion for me and forgive myself.
I didn’t get for a walk yesterday. I didn’t check my email before coming on here and I had to wait for a package. The building manger is coming in for an inspection today and I will try to go after they leave depending on my pain level.
OMG YES! Congratulations on your new apartment!! Like other have said get started one room at a time. Once you start you’ll see it all comes together. We just had a big move and we managed by packing way ahead of moving date. It’s going to be stressful but great exercise and will be so worth it once you are in your new place.28Haveitall2020 wrote: »Hi All,
Hope you are all doing well and managed to crush your October goals.
Goodluck on your November goals.

Thank you and good luck to you as well. Check I. With use once in awhile and let us know how you are doing ❤️
I am starting to bounce around again up and down by a pound. My low was a net loss last week but this scale is frustrating me. I am staying under calories and coming close to my macros. I am averaging 94oz of water each day and getting my exercise in. I am going to watch the salt a little closer and see if that helps.
Good idea to watch the sodium but also remember that sometimes the body needs a little time to catch up with us. It’s trying to understand what’s happening and will sometimes stall as if in shock that something is changing. I’d you are doing everything right that scale will jump down before you know it. I suspect a nice drop for you in the next couple of weeks. Keep at it! 💪🏻Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »I just got back from my Dr's Appt...He is happy with my weight loss ....

If you pooped 4 times after I would just weigh again for true weight lol. I always weight myself first thing after I pee and poop to make sure I get there most accurate number. I even take off my jewelry and glasses 🤣🤣🤣littleflutterby wrote: »I was going to take a walk but my tummy has been feeling a bit off the last couple of hours and I didn't want to risk feeling dodgy on my walk, with no-where to go the washroom lol.

I do hope you are now feeling much better this morning and that you can get yourself out for that walk. Not only is it great exercise but it’s great for the souls as well. I’m happy you got to send that nice dinner with your wife. It’s been so hard to do stuff like that for us as well. I don’t. Remember the last time hubby and I went out on our own for a meal. It’s ok we do enjoy our home family dinners ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful day.iHUSTLE4MUSCLE wrote: »CHECK IN: Tuesday, Nov. 10

You know how to do it! The only thing that I am sort of enjoying online is a website called BoardGameArena were there are plenty of games and you can play with your friends and family. It's for free and it has a chat box, which makes it more fun.1 -

Ohh. It makes me just happy to read Italian Restaurant. I can smell the food.
My girlfriend and I haven't been able to eat out much and since we live almost in the middle of nowhere, we can't order food either 🤣
But it is sort of good because then you need to cook your own food.
If your tummy isn't feeling good better sport in0
