Awesome steps yesterday! I hear my daughter always complaining about iPads so it is tough. Mari, our previous captain, had one of those trampoline things. I don’t think that would be so good on my knee. After a knee replacement there are certain you are not supposed to do. I think the bounce won’t be good. I will figure it out.
@lcfa5317
Great job on tracking and exercising.
@azkunk
I am so glad the IF is working out for you. When you decide to do something your drive to get it done impresses me every time.
@Beverly2Hansen
Great day meeting all your goals. @Megan_smartiepants1970 should be able to convert the jogging in place to steps.
@amymartin555
Amazing steps! When using kettlebells to you have a routine or follow a video? Even though I have used them in the past with a trainer, I wouldn’t have a clue how to start.
@rwood566
I love how you plan and fit special treats like ice cream in your day. Nice work in the gym!
@roz0810
Your getting lots of use on the treadmill. Awesome day!
@Poobah1972
Luckily, we have air conditioning included with our rent. So I can run it as much as I need without worrying about the hydro bill. I am impressed that you walked in the humidity. We are getting thunderstorms later today in southern Ontario so I hope it cools things off a little. Another great burn for you today.

Way to much red! Trying to decide if I should go for a walk. I am not sneezing like yesterday but just a headache and stuffy nose. If I didn’t live in an apartment I would not have an issue going out. I am going to try and eat more today as I wasn’t able to close my diary.
Good news for Ontario. We are starting the reopening 3 days earlier. That means one step closer to the pool and exercise room opening not to mention a hair cut.
Have a terrific Tuesday!7 -

That quote is horrible... 😁 😋 - Stay safe and have a great walk! 😎6 -
@Beautyofdreams
One last thing worth mentioning... On off days like thursday, I'm probably going to step into the weight room and work on things like Wrist curl variations just to build forearm and grip strength. It's a non-sweaty exercise, so no need to change clothes and it's won't take more then 10 minutes, and the grip will come in really handy eventually as I start doing stupid heavy stuff. 😋😅
(I once use to be able to do 750+ deadlifts for reps, with no straps or hooks... Just pure grip... Crazy right... Ah the good ole days.)6 -

@jimboden3
I read that as you got to enjoy yourself at your son's graduation party and the scale barely moved 🤗. I'm glad everyone had a great time. Congratulations to Andrew🎉
I'm glad to hear that you can still do your walks (as long as you don't experience any discomfort) and go on vacation out west. Ahem- no lifting, no rowing. Take it easy, that way you get to enjoy your vacation. Fingers crossed you can get on the surgeon's calendar in August.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
You crack me up, "shorter walk at 6.64". Like I said, I'll get there by August 😆 My eyes just popped out like one of those old times cartoons, 10 MILES? You both are incredible! In my head I hear SuperWalkers (instead of Superman) 🤩
That's so good to hear about your blood sugar 🤗
You're "Pushing for 8 or more miles" today 🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So impressive!
@888Angie888
Incredible amount of high steps 👏🏻👏🏻 Way to go Angie!!
@Beverly2Hansen
Why can't technology work correctly all of the time? I know what you mean. I have three different pedometer apps on my watch, they all give me different steps and distance 🤦🏻♀️ Terrific high step day! That's impressive, jogging in place while watching TV. I can ride while watching, but if I was to jog (well for me walk) in place, I'd probably forget to move. Great work staying within your calorie budget and getting in all of that water!
@runzfromzombies
Congratulations on your loss 👏🏻👏🏻
@Poobah1972
Thank you again for joining the motivation team! I'm so glad that Linda and Megan asked you. You both are doing amazing with your eating, tracking, walking and strength training and now working on sleeping. I'm so glad you both are on this path together. Hopefully the melatonin worked, especially since you get up at 4:30 (I don't understand that number, 4:30).
It sounds like the melatonin worked 😄 Congrats on walking six laps AND in that humidity. You're definitely dedicated to sticking with it 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@lcfa5317
Nice loss and great work tracking your calories every day 👏🏻👏🏻 I'm glad that you are exercising daily and already feeling stronger. Nicely done🎉🎉
@azkunk
Day four! You did it AND over the weekend! Congratulations on your loss 👏🏻👏🏻 great work staying within your calorie goal and getting in 90 oz of water 🙌🏻 I'd be sloshing around 🤣 or peeing nonstop🤦🏻♀️
Thank you, this iPad battle is a tough one. It's almost like an addiction for them. They wake up it's the first thing they want to do. I am modifying an iPad schedule, thank you Pinterest.
@amymartin555
Fantastic steps today Amy AND kettlebells! I hope you slept well.
@rwood566
Great steps and that's not even counting the treadmill 👏🏻👏🏻 Nicely done staying within your calorie range. Super idea of planning to have the ice cream in your day. Your steel cut oatmeal sounds delicious. Good luck with your sleep apnea test! Great idea about a recipe page. I love that Robin Williams quote, thanks for sharing.
@roz0810
That was a huge increase in steps. Your treadmill is really stepping up your game (get it stepping, steps 🤦🏻♀️).
@BRGking
Terrific steps! Keep it up 🤩
@lindamtuck2018
🤗 You had over 5,200 steps 👏🏻👏🏻 AND that's with the head cold. It's so hard to sleep and exercise when you're not feeling well. Great news for you up in Ontario. Stay safe.5 -

I ended up kind of going on two walks again. I mentioned that my nieces were here. The four kids and I walked (I carried the baby) up to the elementary school and used the playground, and then walked back to the house after about an hour. They loved it, and it was nice to be outside. I also loved how calm they were after we got back haha. Then about 430, my dad asked if I would go walk with him. So of course I said yes. High step count day for me.
On another note, my husband made a vegetable yellow curry soup last night that was fantastic and low calorie. It created a few extra servings too, to use for lunches which I love. I've also been playing with my new bread machine a lot lately and made a pretty decent loaf of gluten free bread yesterday. I've also figured out how to make a great sandwich bread for my kids. No more buying bread from the store.

That is incredible serious walking.... Not surprised your stalled a bit, as your legs are getting into redonkerous shape. hopefully the flood gates will break open soon Megan!
@Tazaria87 You've been pretty steady on those great walks... But I don't need to tell you, I saw your photo's and your a verified MFP PRO!.. Hmmmm Curry!

@Tazaria87
Two walks that is great. Especially walking with 4 small kids. Is your Dad still using mfp?
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Over 3 hours! Thats one long walk. Well done!
In other news I survived my walk. Walked further than I planned. I also have lost my voice. Hubby will be delighted! 😂
