THE BREAD HAS RISEN... THE BREAD HAS RISEN...
BY GOLLY JEE, THE F'N BREAD HAS RISEN!!!!! 😀😀😀😁😁😋😂😆👍🤗🤗
So it turns out that the reason my bread went for a crap for like the last month it seems was the Yeast. And it just turned out the yeast we went and bought at the store a few weeks ago was DOA (Dead on Arrival)... Cause this third batch of Yeast just worked. I seriously was getting pretty PO'd with all the brick loaves.
Tomorrow we have breakfast with a gorgeous Toast.... FINALLY!!!
Sunday was great... I totally lazed around and slept entirely to much. I'm wondering now what kind of concoction of drugs will be required to allow me to sleep through the night. lol
Oh and we had a good friend over today... As in Ontario we can actually have a friend over now. It was Louise... We love Louise. She's the kind of person you meet, that at least for me, seems like she's my favorite cousin. She should be related somehow? And she gives the best hugs, and I'm all about big glorious HUGS.
That's about it... Sunday fast was so easy today, it's weird. It's 7:09 and i have yet to feel a moment of hunger today. 20 Straight weeks, and it's really become normal. Heck I don't even need to run to the toilet on monday mornings anymore. Whatever!
Missed all you guys today... Hope your Sundays were great!!!4 -

@Beautyofdreams
Yaoowzaaa! That's an incredible loss 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's a tough one (for your NSV), we are always our own worst critics. I admire your resolve and determination to look up resources and strategies to keep you on your path. 🤗 Thank you, before reaching my goal weight I began listening to podcasts about maintenance We Only Look Thin, and Halfsize Me, to give me additional support and advice.
@lindamtuck2018
That's an impressive daily goal (later to be used as a NSV) 7,000 steps! Love that 🤩
Thank you, it's been so wonderful having him walk and TWO days in a row. Yes, I'm sure someone has me on video walking like a duck. Hello America's Funniest Videos.
Oooooohhhhhh wowwwww! Linda! 10,596 steps! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That's amazing!
Your bbq salmon sounds delicious. Mmmm. I need to add that to the shopping list.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
I love using a mix of Dijon, Siracha, garlic and honey on my salmon. Mmmmm. Salmon.
I'm looking forward to reading more posts tomorrow. Need to get to bed.******************Steps- 10,000 ✅

Had a great morning walk with my hubby. We were going to go for an evening walk, but it kept thundering and raining on and off, so... we decided to just stay in. I was supposed to meal plan today, I don't know where the day went- but I didn't get to meal planning. Busy day tomorrow.

Steps 4,202
Water 3 liters
Ate under allowance
My step count was low because I deep cleaned my entire appartment. I didn't go for a walk I just got down to buisness. We lost most of our furniture when we moved and lots of home items that make your place feel like home. Over the past half a year I've been working hard to find us all the things we need furniture wise and so our place looks warm + inviting and I am nearly done with cleaning until I assemble, install and add the things I've been ordering. Between now and July 1st we will be getting a lot of things I've worked hard to find. I do love my walks but I want our home to be a real home my family can be proud of and host get togethers at. I don't just want to look and feel better my journey is about taking back my whole life piece by piece and elevating my family with me. Hopefully my steps end better today but it's been raining buckets so I'll have to get my steps from watching TV now that I'm done cleaning. I hope everyone's day has been as great as mine. 🙂7 -

So many steps out there.
Check in for 6/13:
Steps - 6591. Decent amount but I thought it would be more.
Calories - about 1750. Have to guess on the cake, but I spent 15 minutes trying to figure it out. Wound up cutting it into 6 pieces. To small for 8 pieces. Scrimped on dinner a bit to stay under.
Exercise - 1.1 mile walk this evening with daughter. Walked around a tourist trap in the morning. Where else can you spend 12 dollars on 6 small cookies.
I'm expecting a gain tomorrow but it's ok. It was good food. Also, I've lost 5 lbs in two days.7 -
15,209 today's steps
Ate within deficit
Drank 2 litters of water
I slept poorly last night so I'm really wiped out. It was still a good day even though I'm tired.6 -
Hii
I'll be done real quick.
I'm so stressed
if I get a mini break I will write longer. Promised.

Hi all, here for Monday check in.
Nice to have a green week again and hit the milestone of 2.5 stone gone! (35.8lb). Saturday I was 221.8, yesterday 222.8 and now this number. I thought Saturday's weight was quite a drop that seemed a bit much to lose for me in a week, but can work towards those lower numbers in next few weeks for sure💪.
I had my first covid vaccine yesterday afternoon, thankfully only appearing to have mild after effect symptoms so far. Arm is quite sore and can't fully lift my arm up without pain so, weights etc is gonna be off the cards in next few days at least.
I had a large diet coke and mcflurry from McDonald's yesterday, first time that I had anything from there in over 6 months. I was proud of myself for not getting anything else.
We've got Father's day this week so I'm expecting to be having 'offplan' sweet treats towards the end of the week however.
Have a great week everyone!5 -

Loss this week = 3.4 LB
Monday morning and pouring rain...
Weigh in Day TODAY!
With the pouring rain, I wasn't quite feeling like going outside, but since I'm only 0.8 pounds away from 400 I'm close enough to the Operating Capacity of the elliptical, that I won't break it. So Elliptical time has come this morning. 😆
Elliptical is hard. lol. I only managed 10 minutes. My Fitbit did not work, as it read a steady 109 the entire time. Even though my heart was beating out of my chest and sweat was pouring off my head by the end. I'll have to fiddle with it and try different positions on my wrist. Kind of hard to relax my wrist when I'm holding onto the handles for dear life. Once I got off the elliptical and adjusted my fitbit and sat down, my heart rate shot up to 150+.
I figure I burned around 200 cals...?
It's suppose to rain again tomorrow, so I will likely be using it again. So I'd like to work on the following things.
Learn to pace myself better.
Extend my time by at least 5 minutes
Trying to get my fitbit to work better...
Other then that... With any luck, this will be the last week I'm officially over 400 pounds!!! WHoooo HOooooooo 😆😀😁💪🙂🤗
Have an amazing day everyone!!! 😎7 -
@Beautyofdreams
Great post! Overcoming fears and mental hang ups is so hard. Weight loss is not just about calories there is a big mental component. I am so glad you worked through it. After more than 2 years I am still working on this so your post really helped.
@rwood566
Glad you kept all your fingers. That is so scary to almost pass out. I hope you get answers soon. I hope I can be as strong as you on Tuesday and not eat everything.
@888Angie888
Great job on staying on track. Weekends are my Achilles heel.
@littleflutterby
Great week of stepping!
@Tazaria87
Holding babies is so nice. With a busy weekend like you had I think I would be going to bed myself after I put the kids to bed.
@rlaskey2
Awesome steps!

Happy Monday team! Some nice losses today so far, keep up the hard work it is paying off!
@Megan_smartiepants1970
6/13 steps 10,485
Temps hit 99 yesterday so glad I got out in the morning for my walk before it was too awful. I made myself go at 6am this morning for that very reason. Looks like early morning walks for the next few months as summers are brutal here.
Scale was so nice to me yesterday and then laughed at me today. I am skirting the normal/overweight line on the BMI scale and while it is not the greatest measure by far, I still want to get into the normal range.
@Poobah1972 nice loss this week and how exciting to be so close to getting under 400!! I am just thrilled for you!

@azkunk
Awesome loss!
@Poobah1972
Yay for your bread rising! Doesn’t it feel so good that there is a sliver of light after our long lockdown. I know I am excited for a backyard bbq with my kids and families this week. 20 weeks of Sunday fasts is amazing!
Fantastic loss this week.
@TheresaM787
There is a lot of green in your day. Well done! Three days in a row walking with your husband. You guys are on a roll.
@Beverly2Hansen
Your steps may be lower than usual but deep cleaning would burn a ton of calories. When we moved in January we brought hardly anything with us and started fresh. It is a slow process to make it home again. It sounds like you are a good decorator. Next days steps are fantastic.
@amymartin555
Great steps!
@rwood566
Great job staying within calories with a birthday celebration. Tourist traps are fun even if you spend too much on things.
@Z10Rtza
Nice loss!
@mszoueb
That’s so awesome you hit your milestone. Congrats on your COVID vaccine.
@Poobah1972
Fantastic loss! You are darn right the elliptical is hard. I am not coordinated enough to use it.

Congratulations Zoe! Great work hitting the milestone! I'm so close myself I can almost taste it.

Thank you Joni! I just missed it, hopefully next week for sure?
Good on you for getting out early to beat that heat, that is some dedication right there!!! 😎👍Hii

Don't get to stressed Ziortza. You steps the last few days have been incredible! WHooooo Hoooo!

Check in for Sunday
✅Steps 7,153
❌Sleep 6 minutes short
✅Walk
Steps are higher than I thought. I guess shopping and a short walk did it. I have physio very soon. It was pouring when I got up but the sky seems to be clearing. I am walking to physio and I am going to attempt to walk to Tim Hortons after. Wish me luck! I am nervous about staying in control of my eating this week with celebrations. It’s been so long since we ate in a restaurant I will probably want to order the entire menu.
Happy Monday.
