I'm sure I sound like a broken record this week but dad and I met early morning at the lake again for the 3 mile loop. Then I walked my son to school. Yesterday morning was hard, he didn't want to go to school and actually cried when I dropped him off. I think it had something to do with his sister not having school and getting to stay home with me all day. She goes every day except for Thursdays. Right before lunch my nieces got dropped off with me and the girls just played together the whole time. They are so cute together. Once I got my son from school we had some nice family time all evening. We even made it through a whole movie, that's never happened haha.
Awesome steps! You are well above your step goal everyday.Been a few days since I checked in. I went to spin class twice this week and am headed to bodypump (weight lifting class) this morning. I took yesterday off from work as well as today and Monday too— a much needed extra-long weekend. Yesterday I vacuumed, mopped, and pulled weeds in the garden. A productive day! I’ve got plans on both Saturday and Sunday with friends which should involve getting in plenty of steps. Going to the botanic garden and visiting art galleries.
Can’t remember when I last posted steps so here’s the week up to yesterday:

8/23 6,475
8/24 6,828
8/25 7,080
8/26 10,468
Hmmm. I can see I’m not consistently hitting my step goal. I need to work on this. My food hasn’t been super either. Im just so inspired to bake with all this summer produce.... applesauce cake (took it to work but still had leftovers) and leek and spinach quiche.
sounds like you are getting lots of physical activity. Enjoy your time out with your friends.mthomas0228 wrote: »@lindamtuck2018

While this is a gain, it was expected due to back to back vacations. I will definitely be back in the 170's in September!
I think that’s a great weigh in after being on vacation.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Another new member heading our way ... Please welcome @THUNDER5453

Not a great week but it did not feel as bad as the scale shows. That underscores the importance of logging every day and checking in here. Even if I don’t have time to read all of the posts. Next week will be better. 😞
Hang in there Andrea! I know I said this a thousand times before but it’s when you stop trying that you are in trouble.@Megan_smartiepants1970 - hey thanks so much! I am going to have to spend some time this weekend figuring out the easiest best way to get to this group and see messages!

I'm not entirely sure what happened but I'm moving down the scale again! I'm running, I'm eating better, I'm drinking less, but in London I indulged but did kinda balance it with loads and loads of steps. I'm SUPER pleased with the results over the last 2 weeks and will try to stick with it!

Nice loss! Look at all the 🔻in your monthly stats. Well done! I am so glad you came back and are sharing your successes with us. Is this your last surgery?1 -
Friday check in
✅ Steps
❌Sleep Score (above 75)
✅ Exercise
❌ Reminders 5/8
I went for a longer walk in the morning than I intended. It was so hot the last 20 minutes of our walk. I need to do shorter walks than I did yesterday. I had to take my granddaughter to the Apple store which is in a mall so we had to walk quite a bit to find it. I had a rough day with my back yesterday which lead to poor sleep and missing reminders to move. This just enforces how important swimming is for me. I did end up with 12k steps so that’s a positive.
I am heading to the pool for a short swim and some stretching. Then comes the fun of grocery shopping. Our granddaughter is coming with us and it’s the first time since the pandemic started that she has been able to come. I am getting my hair cut today and then just hanging out with my granddaughter.
Happy Saturday!1 -

My august in photos. Not much weight change but you can see a difference in my body. Despite the scale not moving I have had progress.

August successes... well I didn’t lose this week but overall I’m down 4.8 lbs this month which is great. Excited to see what can happen in September! I’m proud of going to the gym, tracking my food, and participating in this group. Love seeing @mari_moulin gym photos! You all inspire me!
I’m thinking about goals and intentions for September.

Was definitely disappointed about weigh in this morning considering all the steps I've gotten this week. Maybe I'm retaining water from all the heat and extra activity? It feels like I'll never get to goal.

Hiked my *kitten* off. Celebrated with a whole low carb chocolate bar... Now I'm having a nap. Peace out! 🙃😋

@mari_moulin
Scales are not always an indicator of how we are doing. You look fantastic.
@Jpedno
Those are some pretty awesome successes.
@Tazaria87
The heat could be a big factor.
@Poobah1972
Amazing hike! You deserve your chocolate bar and a nap.

Slowly but surely coming down. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself. Progress is progress.
I cannot believe we are already heading into a second month of school. I’m exhausted. Lots of grading planned for tomorrow.
Steps for this week:
8/21: 10,945
8/22: 3,504
8/23: 7,924
8/24: 9,824
8/25: 7,257
8/26: 9,944
8/27: 9,531
8/28: 3,655
I hope everybody has a fantastic week. I’m going to try to get on here to respond to people this week. That’s one of my goals. I think being MIA is not good for me.
Have a wonderful night everybody!2
