    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.

    08/18 - 5,175

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Met my parents out at the lake for the 3 mile loop early morning. After a relaxing morning, mom and I went to a local farm and bought some veggies. The rest of the day was just good family time!

    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.

    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!
