I was in the 290s for TOOOOO LONGGGGG and I'm so happy to finally be out of it!!!! I do NOT wanna be back in there haha
Woohoo! A new decade plus over 87 pounds lost. You are amazing.Steps, etc:
6/12: 4,594 - I feel pretty good about that considering I spent nearly 7 hours that day driving lol
6/13: 5,254 BEACH
6/14: 17,988 EPCOT!!!
My sister and I had the best time at EPCOT yesterday. Neither of us had ever been. I love Disney, love to travel, and love trying new foods, so this was the best of all 3!!
It was soooo fun! We got there around 10:30, and didn’t leave til about 6:30. We did well with food, etc. We split small plates from almost all the different parts of the world, and only had a little alcohol (a frozen wine orange slushy and a glass of wine for me - so delicious!!…she had a (different) frozen wine slushy, and a Bloody Mary…yuck! Lol) all other drinks were water and then a cafe latte to end the day.
We rode rides, saw characters, and walked our hearts out. Towards the end we got stuck in a TORRENTIAL downpour, but it’s all good. We had so much fun!
Beach, today!
As always, thanks for all the support. Y’all are awesome! ❤️
Wow, that sounds like lots of fun. I haven’t been to Disney in along time. Great steps!Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Good Morning ....Happy Tuesday ....

Monday was busy as usual with my neices here. It was too hot to walk up to the playground this time so we played outside in the backyard instead. Had a hard day with my son (who's 5). He told me several times he didn't love me anymore. Mostly related to his tablet being taken away for behavior. I know he doesn't mean it but it's still not fun to listen to. Thankfully, my mom wanted to go walking in the evening so that ended up being a great stress reliever. And I'm proud of myself for not turning to food in the heat of the moment(s). No stress eating happened.
Great check in. It is hard when kids say that. Glad you didn’t resort to food.Just popping in for a quick note. I've read all of the posts, but no time to respond right now. Will get on later to do that if I can:)
My kids and I have volunteered at our local food bank for many years. Now that my kids are away at college, it will just be me helping out there. I haven't been there since last year due to Covid. My husband works in the emergency room and sees Covid patients, so I chose not to go there because I did not want to expose anyone there, especially because they are mostly older volunteers, in case I was exposed. Anyway, they are super short-handed right now, so I decided to go back. I have gotten one vaccine so far and am due for the second next week.
I worked there at the food bank from 8-12 yesterday and today. Oh, wow. Now that I am on this journey to health, I did not even realize how this would impact me. Yesterday I was handling the food while packing boxes, and it was hard. There was pizza, cakes, treats, etc. It really, really made me want to eat. When I got home, I just wanted to eat! Same with today! I'll be going back next Tuesday and will be helping out once a week or so. I've got to find a way to deal with this so it is not such a huge struggle when I leave there and get home.
That is really kind of you to volunteer at the food bank. That would be hard to be around food and not thinking about it. I don’t know if @littleflutterby has any suggestions. She works at Starbucks around all those yummy foods and drinks.2 -
Thanks to those who wished me a happy birthday!3

Happy birthday. My account feed crashed so I can't see feeds on the app or website and I'm trying to fix it.3 -
@Tazaria87
Five for five ✅!! Way to go with your goals 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Ugh, that hurts. I'm glad you know that he doesn't mean it, that he's just lashing out 🤗. Going for a walk with you mom was a really good idea. Well done on not turning to food to curb your emotions 🤗
@iradi8
Sloan, that's so kind and generous of you to volunteer - especially during this time 🤗. Oh my goodness, that's a hard one being faced with so many trigger foods. Round of applause for not giving into temptation. Are you thinking of a plan to help keep the cravings away when faced with those foods next Tuesday? If so, please share- I could use a plan 😆
@rwood566
That's amazing! I haven't heard of the Komen Walk before. I've done something similar (it was only 12 hours though) Relay for Life (American Cancer Society), it was very emotional. That would be an incredible feat Roger. 🤗
I hope they are able to determine what is causing the dizzy spells.

Day Four of hubby walking with me in the morning. He's been doing anywhere between 3 and 3.25 miles. I'm so proud of him 🤗💖 I'm finally getting my lungs and legs back from taking one week off the bike during staycation with the in-laws. Hoping this can continue. The kids are doing fantastic with their read alouds (Hunger Games #3 and the Misadventures of Lightning Girl). Today we begin our Summer Bucket List. Tonight's box is Cheering on the Lightning (but not booing the Islanders- I'm a former Long Islander).3 -
Lots of meal prepping today a little over 2 hours ... Tomorrow we are out early to go on our looooooong walk before it gets a zillion degrees 3

Hello everyone I was so wiped out last night I don't think I posted my step count.
June 14-24,194
I stayed within my allowance.
I drank at least 2 liters of water.
I got my daughter a recliner and had to pull it home from the store in a radio flyer red wagon. It was both fun and embarrassing. Also whew... what a workout pulling that weight while walking. I'm hopeful I'll manage to post about today before I'm as wiped out as yesterday but I've still got dinner, laundry and a shopping trip before then.2 -
@lindamtuck2018 Happy birthday! Have an amazing day out with your daughter and grandchildren.

Two hours of meal prep? You beat my record! When the kids were real little, we would go to those meal prep places and prep together. Our longest was a little over an hour. Oh boy, looking forward to seeing how long you walked for. Reading about those high steps helps motivate me to get out there.
@Beverly2Hansen
Your step count is simply amazing! Almost 24,200 steps 👏🏻👏🏻 Great work smashing those daily goals - every goal 💥 That must have been a sight, pulling the recliner in a little red flyer wagon. You're a good momma, plus look at all of those extra steps!
@amymartin555
Another inspirationally high stepper! 28,078 steps 👏🏻👏🏻 I should get my keister out there now so I can get in some extra steps.
@roz0810
Nice stepping! How's the dog walking going? I saw a lady waking four dogs and thought of you. Actually she was being pulled along, a kid on a skateboard offered his board to help her out 😆3 -

It's been so hot outside, I don't feel safe walking to a playground with the kids. If they get overheated I'm afraid they won't make it home. We stayed at home and played in the back yard. Got the water table and small pool cleaned up and then filled. They put on swim suits and had a blast. I mowed the lawn during some of their play. Then my mom picked up my son for a sleep over so my husband and I went for a walk with our daughter after dinner. She fell asleep in the stroller just like the last time we walked that late. It was a nice walk.6 -

Yay! Such a great check in. It is so nice having someone to walk with. I love the bucket list. I am sure it will bring lots of summer fun.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Lots of meal prepping today a little over 2 hours ...

Awesome steps! That would have been a great calorie burn and I think it would be cool to see.amymartin555 wrote: »6/15

Another great step day! I find it so hard if I try to use my phone to use mfp.
Nice steps! How is the heat where you are these days?@Megan_smartiepants1970

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I felt so much love yesterday with phone calls, video chats, fb messages and of course my lunch out. No walks yesterday but with the shopping I got lots of steps. I was in tremendous pain but I didn’t want to be the grandmother that can’t have fun. I made a terrible but yummy choice for lunch. I had breakfast poutine. The waffle fries they used were amazing. I didn’t eat for the rest of the day. I am trying to decide if I should walk or rest today. I also am going to phone my doctor to see if they got an appointment for my referral to the back surgeon. Ok, I am off to do my physio. I have graduated to dumbbell exercises.
Happy Hump Day!6
