@Poobah1972
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.

Saturday’s check in
✅Steps 9,112
❌Sleep
✅Walk
✅Physio 2/2
Lots of steps yesterday. I had fun doing the river clean up with my grandkids. I had to walk near geese which I am terrified of so it lead to the kids having a good laugh at Nan’s expense. We went up and down banks and had to walk back through the park to get back to the car so I gave myself a check for walking. I earned lots of zone minutes yesterday which makes me happy. The kids have been here all weekend. My daughter needed a break, the kids were missing us and us them. It’s been a great weekend. I am pretty tired still so I think I will call today a rest day. We are going to the garden center after we drop the kids off and I want to set my balcony up today. Off to feed the kids.
Have a restful Sunday!5 -
@lindamtuck2018
Look at all of those steps on Friday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Glad you got some of your physio completed. Please don't poke fun, in my house you constantly hear, "If it's not written down, it's not getting done." My memory is shot. Unless I write it down: be it on paper, or set up a reminder on my phone or my new favorite have Alexa remind me, it doesn't get done.
Lovely to hear that you took your eldest granddaughter to do community service. I love those service projects. Yes, that definitely counts as a walk. I hope you were able to capture the moment in a video or picture. It's nice to reflect every now and then.
Thank you that's a great idea. Yes, I agree with your dietician, the food diary is an extremely important part of this weight loss adventure/journey/lifestyle (I need to settle on just one noun).
@rwood566
Congratulations on you TWO pound loss! That's amazing Roger 🎉🎉🎉
Yes, we just started learning to play D&D a couple of months ago (thank you Stranger Things). My son and I take turns being the Dungeon Master.
Another great exercise day!! Why do some people feel it's fine to litter or that society's rules do not apply to them? I really like the do something nice for a neighbor day.
@rlaskey2
Terrific steps Rachel and taking a nice walk and lunch with your husband 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Sports resumed and so has the busy lives 😆 Yes, I agree. Kids need to get that energy out. I make mine cycle at least three times a week.
@Poobah1972
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?
@Beautyofdreams
Oh Deb that's so good to hear!! I know you were worried about that 🤗 Please take it easy while your graft is healing. I know it isn't easy for you to rest while recuperating.
@lmf1012
Great step count Joni👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@red1185
Congratulations on having only 8 work days left 🎉 I'm glad that you're therapist was able to help and things are better between your roomie/best friend and yourself. That must be tough to have someone in your space, I'm glad you are working through it and found a second outlet with your coworkers. I know it's frustrating when the scale goes up, or doesn't budge 🤗 it WILL go down again. Keep at it, you got this!
@iradi8
Crushing it Sloan!! Amazing step counts👏🏻👏🏻
I'm so very sorry to hear about your mom being in the hospital. I hope she feels better soon 🤗
@roz0810
Keep going, you're doing amazing 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@Z10Rtza
Impressive list of steps!! Way to go 😁😁5 -
Hey guys! Been a stressful week with work but I'm still kicking! Lol
Megan ill report my steps tonight, sorry for the delay!4 -
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. 🥴
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)
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!TheresaM787 wrote: »@Poobah1972

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.1 -
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.1 -

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?3 -
Just a reminder if I do not have your steps by tomorrow(Monday) evening I will have to zero them out so I can post the results ...I just need a few more of your steps
