Good for you! I will have to join you on the logging discipline - very sloppy lately, and it showed up in today's weigh-in. Harrumph. Don't forget to post how many Pilates minutes so I can add it to your daily step total! Or add it yourself - minutes x 100. Gotta keep the playing field level - if it counts, post it!Logged my food. Still over but closer. Hit my step goal. Did Pilates, took a walk, and tended to my garden. Pretty good day. 🙂
So many hugs flying your way - it is such a tricky time. Just hang out here when you can, and get outside for a bit of springtime energy whenever you can. Talk to a friendI'm really struggling. I've been feeling very low mentally for a few weeks, juggling too many responsibilities and not doing well on my master's. It's hard to find any motivation or drive and preparing food seems like a chore, so it's been a lot of junk and no workouts.
I hope things get better again soon.

Yeah! No increase is okay. Yesterday I ate 10 mint milanos cookies on a road trip.... 10. Why would I buy those without anyone else to share them on the road trip? Ok I did enjoy the soft and minty decadence. But totally not in my calorie or sugar or carb budget.
That’s over and I will do better next week.
You 2 are both a bit stuck and only .1 pound apart. Buddy up and try to kick that nasty old 160! Next week you could hit 159.9 or less with just a bit of a push. You can do it!! But yeah, the mint Milanos might have to go. Those are one item I am SO glad I can't find here in Québec. I used to get them for my mother-in-law who always preferred her groceries to come from Vermont. One bag usually did not make it to her house... Luckily we cannot get across the border any more and she is no longer with us! I'm saved from at least that kind of deadly cookySMcFall0215 wrote: »PW-160.4

I just can’t kick this 160.4.
MILESTONES happening or coming soon!
@gak71 you are going to have to video that happy dance when you hit the 230s. We just gotta see that huge smile and crazy moves
@ashleycarole86 same for you when you dip below 250 and call the hot air balloon people. It is going to be amazing. Congrats on 100 days and making such great progress!
@YinxFed 2nd jab rest day - totally legit! I can't wait to get mine - August 4th. Then I can go visit all my family people at last! You'll hopefully be feeling great for your long walk this weekend.
I have to get some overdue garden work in this morning. The sun is temporarily shining, so I'll race out there to do as much as I can before the water starts coming down again. You Albertans need this more than we do! Hope it rains soon...5 -
@jugar got a bit of rain this morning and there's plenty more in the forecast this week... can't wait for all the green to follow!!!
I have never heard of these mint Milanos but it sounds like that's a good thing lol2 -

Happy Friday Everyone!
This week we had some horrible weather so that put a damper on walking in nature so I found some walking videos on YouTube. Trying not to let anything derail me

I just got caught up...and I have to say, I want a lake house. I would love to retire on lake. My husband wants to retire on a beach....
I had a rough week at work, but I do feel good about my little bouts of workouts. I have a kettball upstairs and some bands. I have been doing mini workouts in the morning and in the evenings while the baby climbs on me. We are relaxing outside tonight. The weather is perfect. Have a great weekend, friends!4 -
Good for you! Little workouts are great. There's a fun kettlebell app that has a short workout per day, at whatever level you are. It's free and helps you squeeze one in just about any time. It's called Kettlebell Workout Wizard from Greg Brookes. There are good illustrations and form tips, and every exercise has a video if you need it.KellyBgetsfit wrote: »I just got caught up...and I have to say, I want a lake house.

OK everyone! It's Friday night, and I get to pester you about weigh-ins!
Due up through today:

Due Saturday:
@Micki48
@sunny9847
@Gidgitgoescrazy
If you want to see how your steps and exercise measured up for the week, get those in by some time Sunday at the latest. Thanks!1 -
@KellyBgetsfit Is there a particular workout you do with bands? I have some as well. Haven’t done much with them.
We spent today completing errands. Although they didn’t all get done. I did get a new phone today and boy, does everything work better now. 😄
I did not get any specific exercise done today. I am too full from dinner now. Yikes.
Did log all my food. So there’s that.
I think Evie mentioned we should zoom again! I am all for that. It was a lot of fun last time meeting Courtney, Kristi, Sylvia, & Liselyn in “person”. Let’s do it!!!4 -
Happy Friday!
Wow, I had a walk this morning with a friend who was only interested in doing the “mile loop through town” and then, after lunch at an old couple’s house near the Appalachian Trail in Vermont, we took a “standard” walk which was much more like a mountainous adventure! The husband is 86 yrs old and in spite of “weak knees”, kept up with us, climbing along with his walking stick. Amazing!
I had well over my 8K step goal.
Now we’re getting ready for the cook out on Sunday. Should be fun.
More tomorrow! 😘5 -
@jugar thank you! I was just going to look up YouTube videos for the kettleball. This is great.
@micki48 I use mini bands. I can't ever get photos to upload on my phone but here is the pinterest link. https://pin.it/3DRWdOc0 -
Saturday weigh in
PW 196.6
CW 195.7
I did log every day. I don’t think I was under my calories even once, but I logged. It’s interesting that I’m showing a loss because I was heavier every day this week. I don’t normally weigh every day, but I did this week just trying to get back on track. I averaged my weights and it came to 197!!! So you can see there was a lot of fluctuation. I guess my Saturday weigh in was a good idea from the start. I know from weighing frequently in the past that Tuesday is my heavy day. Bodies are weird and wonderful.
So this week I will…
•log every day and aim for getting under (or at) my daily calories at least 3-4 times.
•continue to drink 80 ounces of 💦
•walk 3x and Pilates 3x
Hope everyone can get outside and get some sun today. 🌞 😀

Happy Saturday!
I'm happy to have a "social" event today
A friend I have not seen for ages has a new partner and a new place to live, so I get to go help her out with getting her vegetable garden going today. It is in the wonderfully named town of Saint Herménégilde, but out off the beaten track, just how I like. It will be good to see her, meet the new dude, and get our hands dirty together. She is an interesting person half way between my age and my daughter's, has been through many rough times and bad beginnings to become a strong, stand-up, out-loud person and mother. We always have a million laughs.
@EvMakesChanges
Yes! Let's try to get a zoom thing going. Time-zone concerns make around 3 pm the easiest (9-10 pm for our UK and European people, 12-1 for the western contingent. It could be a bit earlier, but not much later. I assume weekends are the easiest, but I'll let you find a way to figure that out! Once we see who would be into it, it will be easier to find the time that works best for people. Thanks!
@micki48
Well done on the loss, even if it was a bit of a surprise! Getting back to logging is always a drag, but it sure helps. I find the daily weighing (or mostly daily) is the best way to keep the gentle (well, usually) reminders going. I always know if I don't weigh myself for a few days that it is because I know I won't like it! The fluctuations are no longer stressful - as you so beautifully put it, the body is a weird and wonderful thing. Grace over guilt!2 -
Happy Saturday everyone!
Well this week has been quite abysmal in terms of exercise - just not feeling it! So looking at my planner I see only two completed workouts since Monday. In fact, I feel so ashamed of this that I have decided to do a couple of short Lucy workouts (Lucy Wyndham Read) once I finish this update. Lucy's workouts are always very effective. And all her workouts are bodyweight only (handy, as I have a sore arm from yesterday's vaccination jab, so back to the weights next week). I will be doing a practice walk tomorrow.
However, I have behaved reasonably well regarding food
"See" you tomorrow.4 -

Up, down, up, down... all around... I am feeling a little more in tune, I'll get there or die trying, lol...
Have a great day, and Happy Mothers Day to all the moms and mom figures...4 -
Hi everyone!
I'd be up for joining the Zoom call... fairly flexible on time for the most part as long as it's a weekend.
We are out at the lake right now and it's raining quite hard.. in fact the rain is almost snow, and I think it's planning to turn to snow at some point. We have to go back in to Calgary today to drop off a Mother's Day tea we ordered for my Mom and we'll also do a few things at the house before we head back.
I too ordered one of these Mother's Day teas which will come with small sandwiches and little desserts. I used to eat out all the time, but I really haven't done so much since I started this because I'd like a bit more accuracy on what I'm eating. Having said that, I have done it a few times, and I tend to just generously overestimate and it's worked out fine so far. In the post-COVID world I'm going to need to do this a lot more than I am now, so it's good practice.
One of my plans today is to do exercise two different ways.. I'm thinking yoga and a walk or yoga and the recumbent bike, but we'll see how I feel. A few of the options are easier when I'm at home versus the lake so I'm hoping to take advantage of that today.
Ended up getting a call from the pharmacy to go in for my first COVID shot last night, so that's done with... my arm is a bit sore but I'm feeling fine otherwise, so that shouldn't get in my way.
Have a great day all!4 -
Forgot to add: I would love to join you all for a Zoom call 📞3
