Late Check In! Did a lot of walking today and stayed within my calorie range so I’m happy about that. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. 😁0

Stuck to my diet yesterday and so far today. Walked 1.67 miles in the park, did 20 minutes of strength training, and swam 1500 yards (for a total of 854 calories burned).
I weighed a little over 260 this morning. I will celebrate when I break 260 because that will be 70 pounds lost since last July (when I set a goal of 230 by July 10th of this year). I don't think I'll hit that goal, but I think I might get within 10 pounds of it.
Good luck to everyone on your own journey!
You are so active Frank! I’m trying to get there but I have to work towards that. I’m done after a 45 minute walk and an aerobic video, lol.
Do what feels right. You can't rush fitness; I've been working at it for (exactly) 9 months now. Some days, I don't walk as far, or swim as far, or work out for as long. Just try to do a little more each week, and if you feel too sore, give yourself a break. I doubt any of us will get to where we wanna be as quickly as we'd like. We just gotta be okay with that.

Late check in- I was able to stay below my calories today and still indulge in a piece of blue velvet cake and icecream. Breakfast was an apple, and lunch was a turkey sandwich which was boring lol. But I had a lovely dinner... baked chicken w/cabbage, collard greens, mac, and corn bread. I split everything to equal two meals so I have my lunch set for tomorrow.
Did 2 aerobic videos, 16,000 steps and had 10 cups of water.
Hope everyone had a great day. Have a good Sunday!2 -

Smart planning - I sometimes do that with chocolate. 🤷♀️1 -
Just finished my walk and 30 minutes spinning. Am at 4600 steps and have to go to the office today - so will for sure hit my 8000 running around there hauling files to my car. (Covid lockdown is the worst)3

Have had so much going on most days I can't even think.

Starting a new job, first time not a stay at home Mom since 2016 on Tuesday. Between job hunting and personal/legal issues some days I feel as if I can't even breath. I am working to make sure I hit my fitness trackers step goals which are low at the moment and other than that focus on just trying to make sure I remember to eat. Today is the first day in 2 weeks with no appointments, errands or phone calls to make. Woke up planning on a nice walk and it is raining like crazy which means no walk till the road dries up. Guess its laps around my kitchen. I started March at 329.4 am currently down just shy of 16 pounds. Most of this loss has been in the past couple of weeks and fairly certain as a response to stress and anxiety. While I hope the loss sticks I wish it was happening in a much more productive way.2 -
Just hang in there. It sounds like your life is on an upswing. You got this. Good luck on the new job.1

I think I am having issues with my scale. I am not sure if this is accurate. It said 324. Up 6 from yesturday. Can't be right. I posted what it said 4 days ago. Good luck everyone.0 -
@33gail33 - nice loss! And you’re on it on those workouts! Sounds like you’re maybe going to get some strength training in too with carrying files! 😉
@shawtytel - woohoo! Fantastic loss! Congrats! And you just keep knocking the workouts out of the park too! Isn’t it nice to have enough calories left over to indulge? I don’t think I’ve heard of “blue” velvet cake, only red. Off to google an image!
@cookierehab - glad you were able to get a hike in without being dizzy! So nice to not feel like you’re trapped inside. And Hooray for the 90 days of logging! That is an impressive milestone!
@frankwbrown - your old running route sounds beautiful! Hopefully you can still take advantage of those beautiful views while walking or biking! Nice job on the weight loss too! Almost 70 lbs down since last July? That is fantastic!
@bishumway2010 - congrats on the new job! It has got to be a bit stressful going back to work after years away. Change is always hard. But you’ve been managing tiny human(s) - you can totally handle whatever the job has for you! I hope it’s a good job and a good fit for you! Hopefully the laps in the house help with a little stress relief. And nice loss!
@pumpitusa - wow! Look at how far you’ve come! Nice! And I agree, it does not sound like your scale is working right. My scale is sometimes a little wacky - I’ll weigh one thing, step off and back on and weigh something else. I just weigh at least until I get two matching weights, lol!
Off to breakfast with the family this morning. It’s my turn to cook, so we are having a hash brown crusted quiche and cranberry-orange coffee cake. That holds me until dinner! 😂 I’ve got a full body strength training session up for today and I need to find the time to get outside for a bit - maybe a walk with the husband this evening. Hope you all are having a great weekend!1 -

I'd never heard of blue velvet cake. That gives me the idea of alternating layers of blue velvet/red velvet, with maybe cream cheese icing or ganache.
Not that I can have that any time soon, but one day...

@frankwbrown and @Calli1616 I never heard of blue velvet cake either until I walked into my local soul food restaurant and there it was. It's really good but definitely not an everyday or every week thing. It's way too rich for that. There is actually a pink velvet and green velvet as well.0

Ugh - slept in this morning so I didn't go for a walk and no steps because I am working from home (it wasn't a workout day anyway). It is rainy and windy and miserable so just gonna watch my food intake and call it a "rest" day. Have a great week everyone! 0

Today is going to be a long day, well morning, have court today and hoping for a very good result which would reduce a great deal of stress. Not all of it but a lot. After court have a couple errands and hoping for nice enough weather for a walk and some yard work.0

So excited.. getting my IFIT enabled studio cycle bike today
Cheers.2 -
Checking in: I feel like I did really well last week. Yesterday was a little hard though. I went over my calorie goal but was still under maintenance. I made a series of wrong food choices that were high in carbs but super low volume and then my water got turned off 😬 So I'm a bit heavier today but I'm sure it was just something because of yesterday.
Today I'm going to try to drive up to the city to see my chiropractor and go to "silver" yoga. So I'm excited and just hope I feel well enough for it.
Hope you all have a good start to your week!0 -

@Paulette_Spencer – whoo-hooo!! Nice loss!
@keepingtrack1234 – sometimes you need weekends like that! Hope you are all recharged!
@Kenyaa3 – a loss again – nice!
@33gail33 – sorry you’ve got uncooperative weather. I like your work around plan! I also slept in a bit this morning, so I’m stuck with after work exercise. I find it a lot harder to get motivated for, but you all are keeping me accountable!
@blshumway2010 – I hope court went well and you have a reduction in stress as a result!
@NationalCapital – nice loss! Enjoy your new bike! Looks like fun.
@CookieRehab – sure hope you were able to make the drive and enjoy your yoga!
Have a great week everyone!1 -
@Calli1616 court went well and definitely a reduction in stress though still a lot.2

Check in! Tracked, under and 10k steps. Ready for a good night sleep! 1

Checking in- Had a slow start to my day. I only got 3 hrs of sleep last night and up first thing at 7am with my boys to get ready for distant learning. I don't know what happens to me on Sundays. For some reason it's super hard to get back to normal once the weekend is over.
Super tired and lazy but managed to sneak in a nap after school ended to recharge myself to get my workout in. Finished up with13,263 steps and 2 videos.
On days like today lazy, tired and rainy I just want to rest but my body won't let me. I dedicated myself in January to do my steps everyday and no matter how I feel I can't let myself down I have to get them done.2 -
great week 1, team!!!

I had a massive loss this week - not sure how but I'll take it

@blshumway2010 - so glad you had a good outcome yesterday! Hooray! Also - up in the top 3 for last week - Huzzah!!
@keepingtrack1234 - sounds like a good day yesterday! And yay team for the great week!
@Shawtytel - hehe. You're "lazy" day looks more productive than my busy day!
@chiddss - fabulous loss! Nice job!
I'm having troubles getting going today. Just dragging a bit. I did get signed up for my second vaccine next Monday, so I'm happy I could get in. I keep having people tell me to be prepared to be really tired after that second shot - so I'll just treat my "tired" of today as a preview of next week! Have a great day everyone!0 -

Great Job Team!! 😁2 -
Hey Team! Checking In! Gonna walk when I get home. I’m thinking instead of my normal route or the treadmill which bores me. I’m gonna walk my city on nice days. Walk to my moms house, my old high school that has two lakes, maybe across town, etc. I’m getting excited just thinking about it lol.
Hope everyone is having a great Tuesday!1
