    You should post a current picture of your gym. You have worked so hard on it. I hope your foot is still feeling better today.

    @Beautyofdreams
    Good job on the weight. I think it would be so amazing to get one of those scans done.

    @red1185
    I am glad things are starting to feel better. You have been under so much stress and stress affects weight. Hopefully now that things are coming together you will see a downward trend in your weight.

    @TheresaM787
    You may have some thumbs down but you crushed those steps and the bike. I like to track those days I go over cause it definitely can tell a story. My dietitian tells me that my food diary is the most important data I have in my weight loss journey. Going over was well worth the lovely family day you had.

    @iradi8
    I hope your mom feels better. It’s such a helpless feeling when a parent is sick.

    @rwood566
    Great job on those early morning gym sessions.

    Good news from Saturday....

    The Elliptical is all assembled and ready to be used by Lynn, until I loose another 20lbs which is proving darn near impossible lately. But whatever. 🥴

    pg08jn5e9qxx.png

    It's a 300lb monster, that made the entire day a workout putting it together. Lynn and I feel we accomplished much together though, so that's is fantastic!

    And here's a little shot of the Dumbbell stand (Can't wait to get a second unit... Doh)

    uec2vhmxq6ov.png

    Sunday April 16, 2021

    Blood Ketones 1.4
    Blood Glucose 101
    GKI 4.01

    So I um jumped on the scale a day early for a sneak peak... And I'll have to be darn luck not to put on weight for 2 consecutive weeks. Seems insane to me that this would be possible. But whatever. I'm dealing with it. Life goes on...

    Fiancé gave me a nice shave, complete with a facial scrub and moisturize treatment. Yes she spoils me, and I love it. A little later I'm getting my hair cut too... So I'll be all sexy fine. lol

    In other news.... It's our 16th consecutive Sunday Fast? Getting to the point where that's just a silly number.

    I better go pass the vacuum in the exercise room and touch it up a bit... Today the shelving unit is coming out of there. :)

    Happy Sunday All!

    You and Lynn are putting together a proper gym, forget a home gym, it's a proper gym 🤩 I'm sorry you were feeling grumpy yesterday afternoon, you can always vent here - sometimes it helps just to type it out. I'm glad your foot was feeling a bit better. Hopefully your new knee brace comes today or tomorrow. Amazon?

    I believe it is in fact closer to a real gym then a home gym. So thank you Theresa. Well the 3xl was a no go, So I still have to order new ones. I know 4xl is available, 5xl not so sure. I guess I'll figure soon.

    @TheresaM787
    Since I had COVID my memory is terrible. I am having a mri of my brain on Wednesday. The big joke around here is there even a brain to find. 😂 I think I need Alexa to help me. I got lots of pictures. I actually got one at the moment the goose chased Hayley. Going to post them on my fb so the memory pops up every year.

    @littleflutterby
    Sorry it’s stressful. Try to find a way to unwind. Hugs!

    @Poobah1972
    Your gym is looking awesome! Lots of hard work on your guys part to set it up. That scale will move with a big whoosh. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing so well with your fitness. Do you think you could get your fiancé to come to southern Ontario to cut my hair.

    Steps 11,487

    Life feels like it is getting back to normal which and good and bad. Bad because I am out more and are tempered to eat out more and I am getting lazy with cooking and preparing after all the meals I have made. I did buy the protein shake mix that I tried earlier this week so hoping that will be good for when I am feeling lazy.

    Not weighing in officially due to my break but I am up 3 lbs. Today, I will start getting back on track and hope that gain will come back off. Overall, I feel less fatigued and mentally refreshed and ready to jump back in. My goals for this week:

    1. Check in daily
    2. Track accurately
    3. Macros P-105/ C-115/ F-40
    4. Water 90 oz
    5. Row 5x/wk

    My thryroid studies have come back as normal which is what was expected. I can't repeat the parathyroid studies until August. Like I said above, the fatigue is little better. I am not sure if it is due to the new medicine that I am taking for menopause or from the diet break.

    Bike- 30 minutes, 8 miles ✅
    Steps- 10,000 ✅
    Seltzer- 8 cups 👎 only five cups
    Tracked everything ate and drank ✅
    Under calorie budget ✅

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Bike 30 minutes, 8 miles, moderate effort
    Steps 12,800

    @lindamtuck2018
    Thank you for posting about how you walk to the dentist and to get tea. You inspired me to walk to UPS this morning. It's about 1.75 mile roundtrip. Usually, I'd just take the car, not today though. Thank you.

    Have you seen the challenge for this week? "Ladder Up: One up yourself every day--- Track your steps, calories or reps of an exercise that challenges you. Each day try to do just a bit more than the day before. Keep raising that personal best!" My plan was to use steps for my ladder up, but today was a personal best of 12,800. The only reason, I was able to get that high was because we didn't have plans today (shocking) and from the following extras:
    1- while I was folding laundry, I was stepping from side to side
    2- instead of sitting while chatting on the phone with my sister, I was pacing the floors (earned 3,000+ steps, we chatted for almost three hours)
    3- walked to UPS (about 3,500 steps)
    4- short walk around the block with my hubby (about 2,000 steps)

    What are you going to choose?

    Thanks to all who commented about my mom. She will be in the hospital for a few days, I think. I'll be going there early in the morning and spending the day.

    @Poobah1972
    Your gym is looking great! I love that elliptical. Very nice.

    @lindamtuck2018
    I agree with your dietician. I don't think I could do this without my food diary. I need that information so that I can make good choices (most of the time, lol). I love the time that you spend with your grandkids.

    @TheresaM787
    Same here. I have to write things down because there is way too much stuff in life to remember it all! Lists are my friend:) I love your motivational quotes:) The challenge sounds good. I'll check it out. Great going getting so many steps by moving so much throughout your day!

    @rlaskey2
    I agree that it is harder when we're not at home. There are so many smells and sights and temptations.

    @azkunk
    Great goals. Glad to hear that your fatigue is getting better. I hope that continues.

    Hello Everyone!!

    Finally rested, after what was a long, excellent, but tiring week.

    Thank you @azkunk, @Beautyofdreams, @rwood566, @TheresaM787, and @lindamtuck2018 for the thoughtful birthday wishes last week.

    @rwood566... It isn't that I minded being asked my age at all. This person is a "cad" for many, many other reasons. Just to name a few... He's a lying, cheating, fool who... Well you get the picture. Anyway, he is just so underserving of my time, lol. However, he knows I know way too much... I'll just leave it there, lmao.

    Also, thank you @TheresaM787 and @rwood566 and for noticing my step count and loss last week.😁

    Thank you @lindamtuck2018. Your comment about my dedication to my journey is appreciated!! It was at an Anthony Robbins seminar that I heard, "Where your focus goes, your energy flows." I have always believed this to be true, but never put it so succinctly myself. As I have said may times, I don't depend on the fickleness of motivation. It is focus, dedication, discipline, etc. Also, looking great in smaller sizes doesn't hurt...😉😊

    @Megan_smartiepants1970. I'm glad you got the rest of your staples out!!
    Steps are as follows:
    5/14: 6,709
    5/15: 8,132
    5/16: Will post later tonight😊
