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!
wow, that sounds lovely! Where do you live? I am jealous...not a lot of greenery near me (Chicago). But I love to walk outdoors...takes it from exercise to a whole new level of mental health! Enjoy!
Checking in--tracked and in my range. See you all tomorrow!1 -

Thank you, I live in NY and there are areas with greenery but they are spread out. It has its pretty areas and by the lakes is one of them.

@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!
Hope you’re feeling better!0 -
Have a couple appointments today to keep me busy then some errands with the kids. Yesterday was orientation for work but still got my step goal. Chilly day today but hoping to get a walk in too.1

Great job team on our week 1 win ⭐1

Thanks @Kenyaa3 - today is better I often can't figure out why I'm dragging - I had a good night's sleep, I'm not super stressed, just randomly tired! Today I woke up at 4:30am (ugh) and couldn't get back to sleep. I ended up getting my workouts done at daylight and am feeling pretty energized despite the early wake up! So the day with less sleep is better from the tired perspective. Can't figure it out, but glad I'm feeling peppy!
Have an awesome Wednesday team!1 -
I'm so pooped lately. I am keeping under my maintenance calories and doing a little yoga daily. I am a little bummed that my weight didn't drop lots. I'm pretty sure I haven't been keeping up on my water so I think it had something to do with it. Either that or bread 😖
I also burnt all my cookies so I guess that's good...

Yesterday was physically and emotionally draining. With all the driving and appointments and the death of my tracker (charged now) I have no idea if I hit my step goal or not. I spent 45 minutes trying to calm (with help of nurses) an autistic meltdown in the doctors office which is a massive wrestling match that left me very winded and crying because I hate seeing him suffer.
Hoping for a better day today. It's cold and raining so sticking to inside but still hoping to for sure hit the step goal.1 -

I hate when I wake up that early and can’t go back to sleep, lol. Doesn’t happen often but when it does. I’m beat! 🤦🏾♀️. So glad you feeling Peppy. Hope your Thursday is just as great. 😁0 -
Checking in! Happy Thursday Team! Today’s my Friday so I’m extra excited lol. Sipping on my green smoothie now and later, I’ll be eating seafood and veggies for dinner. Tomorrow I have doctor appointments so I’m curious to see if my scale will match theirs. Crossing my fingers lol.
Have a great day on purpose!! 😁1 -
Checking in! Tracked and teeth brushed!
We are doing so well; loving all this new energy on the team! It's really fun and motivating!2 -

(This weight gain is a mystery to me. I was hospitalized Monday until yesterday, during which time my diet went from "no food or drink" Monday evening, to "clear liquid" Wednesday noon, to "full liquid" Thursday morning. I had negligible activity during this time, but still, I'm surprised that I would gain 4 pounds eating so little. I am back now, and hopefully my weight will get back on track soon.)2 -
@frankwbrown - so sorry to hear you were hospitalized! How scary! I hope you are well on the mend now - and that HAS to be water weight to happen so quickly like that. Keep well.
Happy Friday everyone! This week has been a doozy - all the work deadlines happening at once! So far, I've managed to keep up with good nutrition and exercise, but today will be a challenge! Enjoy your weekends!2 -
Checking In! Hey Team! Sorry to hear you were hospitalized Frank. Pray all is better. Calli, glad to hear you kept up with good nutrition and exercise. Weekends are definitely a struggle for me but I’m going to try my hardest. No take out, liquor, etc.
Have a great weekend Team!2 -

Omg are you ok??? Good lord! Keep us posted!!!
I'm sure that's water retention. It will be gone soon. Most importantly hope you're ok.0 -

Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I missed three days of exercise, but today I had no problem doing 30 minutes of strength training, swimming 700 yards, and walking 2 miles.
Don't get me wrong, it was nasty and scary: I thought I might be having a heart attack! I had an NG tube and had my stomach pumped, then I had an endoscopy which confirmed that the hiatal hernia I've had since 1987 has gotten worse. I will most likely have hiatal hernia surgery which will be a 2 hour laparoscopic procedure.
That will have it's benefits, but a major downside is that I won't be able to swim for weeks afterward.
Swimming is my number one exercise for fitness/cardio/fat burning; nothing beats it. So I'll have to do a lot more strength training, cycling, walking and yoga, in order to stay on track as much as possible.
Now, looking back, I can view it as a bump in the road, nothing more... so it's time to get back to cruising speed...

Checking in- Had a good week working out and doing my steps. My meals have also been good. I haven't had the urge to want any chips or icecream which is good progress. Having 2 kids and their snacks in here just gets so hard. I had to post notes for myself in my bedroom and in my kitchen to stay on point. Everytime I go in my kitchen and even look at the snacks my son is on me 🤣 So crazy!
@frankwbrown- I hope you feel better. You just got of the hospital so don't beat yourself up about the last few days. Get healthy first and come back like a shark. You can absolutely do minor things to keep up with your progress but don't over do it.
@Kenyaa3- Weekends were the worst for me. But I came up with a plan to fight food back. Saturdays are my weigh in day and also my free meal. I use to allow myself a whole free day and it just ended up getting the best of me. With that one cheat meal I plan it a week in advance and it's always dinner. Who am I foolin, I'm looking fwd to next weeks cheat meal as I'm eating this weeks cheat meal lol. Doing it this way at least I'm eating light the whole day and get to enjoy what im craving most later. So far it's worked for me. I thought I would want everything in sight on Saturdays but I don't. If I didn't account for it, it wasn't that important for me to have.

Haven't been checking in because it is tax time (I work for an accountant) and CRA in their infinite wisdom has denied the CPA association request for a deadline extension. So we are trying to process everything by April 30, while all working remotely, and with a stay at home order in place (Covid is out of control here right now).
Took an extra long walk this morning and got in 5000 steps before 7 AM - working from home today so that might be it for the day.
Crazy times - hope everyone else is having a good week!

hi everyone! Great week for everyone--wow!
Sorry to be MIA-busy weekend. Sadly, didn't make it on my tracking goal this weekend. Gotta get better at weekends...so many little snacks and bites. Nothing too crazy, but I do need to try and mimic the structure of the week a bit better, especially as we approach summer and I am off. Something to think about...
How is everyone?1 -
@Kenyaa3 and @shawtytel - weekends are a struggle for sure! I have a standing breakfast with some family on Sundays and I don't make the food. It is always delicious and frequently calorically dense. I use that as my "cheat" and then work the rest of the week around it (or try to). I figure with my weigh-in day on Monday that holds me in check a little at that Sunday breakfast!
oof @33gail33 - I do not envy you tax season at all! Especially this year with the tax laws all over the place! Nice to see you pop in for a minute though!
@shawtytel - Fantastic loss this week!! Woot woot woot!
@jodie2021 - Down is down! Nice!
@blshumway2010 and @pumpitusa - I have a feeling I'm in the same boat. I had to weigh in today for another challenge and it looks like I went up. Sigh. I thought I was having a fantastic week on the food and exercise front. Oh well, another day another chance to work the change. Hope you are having a good weekend!
Happy Sunday evening everyone. I hope the coming week brings many little successes!

Thank you @Calli1616 and @Shawtytel Great Advice! Monday’s are my weigh in which helps me not to over do it over the weekend and instead of a full day of cheating, Friday night dinner is now my cheat meal. If not Friday then Saturday but it’s only one meal and not the entire day. So far so good!2
-
Hope everyone has a great week ahead! I got great news from my doctors. My sugar and cholesterol lowered so I’m doing great in that aspect. In order to not be on pills they want me to follow up in 4 months so this is motivating me more then ever to keep focused and continue in my getting healthy journey. I got this! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽1
