    So yesterday I did a bunch of Romanian deadlifts. Boy does my butt hurt today! 😳 TMI I know but WOW!! Obviously have been neglecting these muscles. 😂

    That's the good kind of ouchy! What are those - I feel like I need to do some, too, now that I've had my orientation day at the Y!

    @annabananamc I did single leg lifts because I need to work on my balance. I'm old and don't want to fall and break a hip. 😊

    Hey everyone! I’m so sorry I haven’t been as active. I’ve been in such a bad slump. At one point I debated on leaving the challenge because I just felt like I was failing not only myself, but you guys too.
    But last night i decided I wasn’t going to do that because that would give me another reason to not get back into the swing of things. I decided last night that I really need to do this for myself because nothing is going to change if I don’t try.
    I know I didn’t weigh in last week, but I’m definitely weighing in tomorrow!! I’m also gonna start posting everyday for accountability.

    @rawrxamberx Definitely DO NOT leave this group!! You are in no way letting us down. Remember that we're here for you if you need a pick me up. Sometimes I just come here to chat. :)

    SECONDED!

    I see this as a place of support in a wild and often unsupportive world.
    You’re not perfect. I’m not perfect
    Stick around. Let’s be imperfect together!

    @CycleMomOf3 I LOVE the pics of the trail and good for you for showing your kids a healthy, active lifestyle. I am just back, all hot and sweaty, from a quick bike ride (25 minutes on the cruiser). I had to pick something up in town and decided why not ride the bike?! My husband has been riding his every day to the grocery store. I am thinking anything less than 5miles we ride, unless thunderstorms. :)

    In less wonderful news, I got a call last night that the bride's brother, from the weekend wedding we went to, tested positive for covid. ARGH...I hope that the wedding wasn't a superspreader. Called my parents to give them a heads up and they were at a restaurant after choir practice with 60 people. Fingers crossed we didn't interact enough to catch anything - we are all vaccinated, but know many vaccinated people getting milder cases right now in Florida. <sigh> AND I am heading to Utah Tuesday....maybe

    Niiiiice re: reducing your carbon footprint and doing small commutes with your sweet-@$$ed cruiser! :) I'm a member of an organization up here that is an advocacy group for making our area more bike-friendly and pushes folks to commute via bike more when they can. :heart:

    Also, while I hit "hug" on your post re: the Covid exposure, I DO realize the irony of said response. Air hug? E-hug? Zoom hug? Regardless, that so totally SUCKS. Hopefully it wasn't a superspreader event, and that those affected/exposed have mild cases. Ugh. And Utah sounds LOVELY. Hope you can go!!!

    I had some ripening bananas and I don't like to bake in the summer.

    So I tried making some chocolate n'ice cream for the kids for dessert tonight, and it was surprisingly tasty. Really tasty, and even kid-approved!

    Just 4 ingredients: unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, ripe bananas, and dark cocoa powder.

    Worth a try, teammates, if you're wanting a sweet fix. We really liked it, for what it's worth. h24a2797d90e.jpg

    Thursday, 07.22.21 check-in:
    Tracked: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: Yes, just lots of errands. Swam with the kids and shot some hoops with them.

    Tomorrow is weigh-in, and it's a crap shoot. I weigh daily and enter into a personal excel sheet, even though only my Friday weigh-ins get entered into MFP. It helps me see the big picture and trends.

    This week was a ToM week, and while I was always carefully tracking (under) and I exercised and moved a lot, the scale was...reticent...to acknowledge my hard work. It usually bounces back after the cycle ends (today), so we shall see.

    Things are tense here at home, and I've been very successful at not eating my anxiety and stress and emotions, so a win this week would mean a lot to me. We shall see.

    Hopefully getting my butt to the gym in the early AM, and the kids asked for another hike tomorrow. :heart:
