    Last week's check in table - with a little bit of mauve to go with those candy covered easter eggs. And - woohoo - our table is growing! I love it. And I'm back, hanging my head a little but happy to be back with you inspiring ladies. Congratulations everyone & hope you are doing well settling into your new digs @tinkerbellang83!

    Look at those steps...killin it! @lauriekallis ..how do you manage so many? I’ve been shooting for 10k but it doesn’t seem to happen.

    1) log every day ☑️
    2) min of 6000 steps/day - ☑️ 11,200. I finally got to 10k!
    3) complete at-least one other form of exercise/day - ☑️ No more thinking about it..I just did it! Only 30 min of low impact full body routine but it’s a start to moving again so I need to be positive about it.
    4) drink 8 glasses water/day - NOPE..6 which is an improvement but looks like I need to cut out the afternoon coffee and replace with water to make the 8 glasses a day.
    5) force one positive forward thinking thought into my brain!☑️
    6) 500 cal deficit 5/7 days☑️

    April 6- 5/6 (wondering if I’ll ever get 6/6!)

    I usually have 2 walks a day - 1 or 2 hours each depending on weather, work schedule, injuries/aches/pains :D

    For awhile I was averaging in the high teens - hope to get back there - but then I run into the need to pee - and there are no public bathrooms open these days.

    Once the steps start going up it just becomes normal and to not walk a lot feels very disconcerting.

    Lack of private trees in populated areas is a MAJOR concern that I've run into a few times when not walking in the wooded areas near the house :blush::wink:

    I'm so bad at squatting to pee! My knees are a bit crunchy. I was looking at buying one of those ?? pee troughs?? for women that allows you to pee standing up - without really dropping your pants :D Haven't ordered one yet but that might be the option I go for this summer. It would be much less nerve-wracking to not be awkwardly half-squatting with my pants around my ankles when another person pops around a bend in the trail!

    Re shewees..I have quite a few friends who use them every summer on their big hikes and long camping trips. They said it takes a bit to learn how to use it properly but a little practice in the shower they said they got it quickly and love them.

    I'm going to have to give it a try. The alternatives are not so great! Thank you!

    Being sick all week, I barely know what planet I am on!...was good to get back to my normal chaos today!...and believe me our household is overwhelming at times!...my husband and I in our 60s, a teenage girl 13 dealing with hormones, a 15 yr old boy that is way too intelligent, a daughter that teaches in a low income problem area, and a son in law from Haiti and a sister in law recently admitted to a nursing home!...oh, and the dog from Hell!

    Sorry to hear about your foot! Losing the ability to exercise is a terrible thing. How long will you need to keep off it?

    Good to see you! Moving is no fun - even when it is a good move. Hope it is all coming together.
