Good evening everyone.
Check in for 8/21:
Steps - 16527.
Calories - 1630. Might be a bit more due to lunch. I hate having to guess so much.
Exercise - 7.36 mile walk in the drizzle. 2:21. Went to the cupcake store at noon and asked the owner to share a mini cupcake with me for half size day. I am about 12 ounces from half size so it was close enough. It was the best carrot cake cupcake I've had.
I will try for gym tomorrow. Triple digits coming Wednesday into next week at least.3 -

Happy and blessed Sunday ☀️ !!
I’m having an unplanned rest day today. Or maybe not. I was meant to go to the gym this morning but my friend has to cancel as her dog had a seizure during the night. I was going to go but decided to make the most of it and sleep in. If I find myself up for it I might get it done tonight in my home gym. I did go out for a nice walk with Jax tho so I’m not completely sedentary today.
I didn’t complete my diary yesterday so I gave myself 2 ✖️ Even tho I don’t think I actually went over. I did have some Prosecco last night and had some bbq at a friends house. I didn’t eat much ( a hotdog and a bit of coleslaw) but I have no idea how many calories I actually ate/drank.
I’ll come back later today if I do manage a workout in. Have a beautiful day team !

@Tazaria87
Nice loss! Another great day for meeting goals. I remember how hard it was to get my son sit still especially when he was with friends.
@lmf1012
Awesome loss!
@rlaskey2
Enjoy the vacation! You deserve it after all the stress of the last few weeks.
@Shannonsto
It’s great the scale is moving down. Do you drink less water when working? Maybe up your water intake for the next few days while working.
@Beautyofdreams
That is very low blood pressure. No wonder you pass out sometimes. I hope you get answers from the doctor soon.

Wow! Look at those steps. Did the drizzle help cool you on such a long walk? I bet it tasted good considering the reason behind it.mari_moulin wrote: »Daily Check-in: Saturday 08/21

Crazy steps yesterday! I am with you on not knowing if it will be a rest day. There are days when we have to estimate or just be mindful when eating. I think you were mindful last night.2 -
Saturday check in
✅ Steps
✅ Sleep Score (above 75)
✅ Exercise
❌ Reminders 7/8
I had my best swim time yesterday. I had to do 4 extra laps to get to 20 minutes. I missed a reminder as I was laying down and was too lazy to get up and move. I had a sleep score of 91 which was probably the highest I ever had. Like Mari, I am not sure what I will do for exercise today. I may go to the pool and just float around. I will see what happens when I get there.
Our flights to Newfoundland are booked. We will be there from September 3rd to the 17th. It will be so good to see our parents after 2 years. Last time we went I brought my scale with me but I am leaning on missing a couple of weigh ins this time.
Have a nice day!

Congrats to the team as a whole for reclaiming the title. Everybody helped. Congrats to @jpedno, @lindamtuck2018 and @Aqualang26 for leading this team.
@Beautyofdreams I really hope they can fix your BP quickly. That is super low.
@lindamtuck2018 enjoy your trip. If you don't take your scale think of it as a midterm practice exam on how well you are doing. That could make it interesting. The drizzle helped keep it cooler but it was muggy when it wasn't wet. I loved it otherwise. I shocked the owner when I asked her to share it.2 -

Got invited to lunch at a friend’s house today. Don’t know what to expect food-wise but I will focus on moderation. Signed up for zoom yoga tonight. Trying to do some meal prep later tonight too — trying out a recipe for tempeh bacon!
Have a great Sunday everyone!2 -

How are things going with the new school year?
@Tazaria87
Awesome steps!
@mari_moulin
Way to get that workout done! 💪 🏋️♀️ 💪
@rwood566
Roger, that is amazing! Your hard work has paid off. You are an inspiration to this team.
@Jpedno
Moderation is key when in these food situations. We are going to my sons for supper and I am not sure what to expect. I am going to be very mindful of my portions. Let us know how you made out tomorrow.

if we are already in the group do we re-register or are we automatically added next month?2 -
@lindamtuck2018 Having a partner to workout is HUGE!!! We just get to spend time together, instead of mindlessly lifting the weights. We can cheer each other one. Feel good about each other's sucessess. The whole nine yards. I'm a lucky guy.
And way to GO TEAM!!! WHOOOoo oOOOOOOO
Good Sunday morning (now evening) from Fast-ville, 😊
Kind of busy, we just had Sarah my daughter visit with her 3 little hellions. (And they are actually angels.) 😋
But before all that happened, Lynn and I went for a walk first thing this morning before it was stupid hot out. Just testing the path around the lake.... We aim to do the whole path, when the weather cools off. At least that's the plan.
So that's about it... I'm cooking another loaf of bread as we speak. (and It might have got to hot... I don't have a good feeling about how this one is going to turn out... 😆
Weigh-in is tomorrow... 😬
I'm terrible for catching up with everyone on weekend... And for that I sorry. 🙁
Have a great night guys! And I'll start catching up more tomorrow.. 😉
