You slept in late and still got in over 13,000 steps 😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You're awesome! Glad you had fun at your friend's pool. Mmmm yes, I'm all about the simple cooking. No Julia Child here, using every pot and pan to make a dinner. Here is the link to my Pinterest boards- maybe you'll find something you like: https://www.pinterest.com/theresa787/food-eats-yummies/
@lmf1012
I can see why you wanted a bit extra sleep, look at all of your steps from yesterday 🙌🏻🙌🏻!! Do you prefer walking in the mornings or the evenings?
@Poobah1972
YES!! You did all 30 minutes on the elliptical 🎉🎉 Way to go Jonathan!
@lindamtuck2018
Woo hoo!! 3 for 3 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Oh my goodness, that is a l-o-n-g list of things to get done in the house today. I'm glad you're having that second cup of coffee 😆
I had to re-read the post, you definitely look much younger in the second photo. You look amazing Linda! That's a truly beautiful picture of the three of you on your birthday.

Some things I remind myself while I'm walking:
Thought we would copy this and put it outside our door for all of the walkers in our neighborhood:

I have been using the Insight Timer app and shoot for just a few minutes a day--again with the something is better than nothing philosophy. It kind of baffles me how it seems to be so hard to set aside 5 minutes a day to not think. It sounds like it should be easy...right?TheresaM787 wrote: »@888Angie888

Well my plan for this morning was to get up at 5am and to go on our lonnnnnnng walk .... at midnight I was woken up by lightning and thunder and some rain weird it wasn't in the forecast .... we got out late yesterday to go for a walk and it was a bit warm for Aspen the husky granted it was a shorter walk but she was dead most of the day ..so I think my plan today is ....to try PiYo and possibly swim this afternoon

Exercise 5 mile loop at lake
Like my pictures showed yesterday, I did the 5 mile loop while the kids were at summer camp. The rest of the day was just spent hanging out with the kids. Then my husband had plans in the evening so after the kids went to bed I was on my own. Sometimes the alone time is nice. Next Tuesday is our 8th wedding anniversary. I think we're going to try a new restaurant for dinner. This weekend we also have a family reunion of sorts with my husband's side of the family. We haven't seen them in a couple of years.
Happy early anniversary! What type of restaurant is it?
I don't actually really know. It's a place that good friends of ours have recommended. I think it's a french restaurant?5 -

You have the right attitude! You haven’t gained everything. Things will turn around. Remember I gained some of my weight back last year. Things have been going in the right direction slowly so keep the faith. It will happen.2 -

I don’t mediate but reading is my zen time. Nothing like losing yourself in a good book. Seriously though, I would love to start mediating. Hmmm, maybe a good goal for next month.3 -

My only advice is change what you are doing with exercise calories. Start eating some if you haven’t been or cut back if you have. Make the change consistent for a few weeks so you get some good data. I have you checked the accuracy of both scales?3 -

Exercise 30min jogging/dancing in place
Yesterday was grocery shopping day. We also drove to a few garage sales that were in my mom's neighborhood. I've been looking for clothes for my kids cuz they won't stop growing haha. Not to mention how hard they are on clothes at this age. Well we pulled up to sale and I saw bins of girls clothes. Perfect. I was hoping they'd be the right size. Walked closer and saw 4t bins, and a 5t bin. Again perfect. Then saw a sign that said fill a bag for $5. Couldn't believe it. I basically cleaned them out haha, and got tons of cute stuff for my daughter. Now I just need to find clothes for my son! Last night I was short on steps so I just danced in place while we watched tv. I tried an old recumbent bike we have first but it's falling apart and honestly didn't give me steps as fast as dancing so I gave up on that. Time to take the bike to the dump.3 -
@lindamtuck2018 very nice pics. I see a good difference. Leaner face, thinner neck. Great to see the face that goes with the screen chat.4

My daughter goes on eBay. She said she gets really cute clothes for not much money. Last night I was short on steps and I thought of you walking/jogging in place. I walked around until I hit my target. Thanks for the inspiration.Rwood566

sorry everyone. i can't figure the pictures out. i got them to come over finally but when i previewed them they were huge, not the size of all of yours. i don't want a life size face looking at you thru the screen. anyway, i was trying to show you my one pic from my heaviest, which was taken 2 years ago today at 550 lbs and one from today. it's times like this when i get to say "I HATE TECHNOLOGY!!".5

Thank you for sharing the app, I'll look into it. I want to start again and you're right it's just a few minutes each day. Although I stopped for the same reason that you mentioned, how it was hard to set aside five minutes every day to sit and not think. 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you for the motivation to try again 🤗. HUGE step day- 19,248 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻3 -

Yes another all ✅ day! Plus look at all of those steps, love that you started dancing/jogging in place to get in those extra steps 👏🏻👏🏻. Yes, kids grow WAY too fast. That was a genius marketing tactic, $5 fill the bag.2 -
