    Good morning team! Back on track for a whole day yay! Let’s hope I can keep this up lol. I’ve been working out with a friend of mine and I’m loving it so much. She takes her workouts as seriously as I do and we help each other and give each other tips etc. I enjoy doing it on my own but I also love spending this time with her. We are so likeminded and love to push each other and always promise to go all the way to the end. No quitting.

    I’ve also been enjoying making my own bagels here at home with a skinnytaste recipe. So easy to make and my whole family loves them. I’ll post a photo and link here if you are interested.

    Checking in...

    Good day yesterday. I took the kids to see Jungle Cruise, and was a little worried about the popcorn. I’ve found if I don’t let myself have treats then I tend to binge. We got the smallest size popcorn and shared it. Good weigh in this morning—whew!

    8/3 steps: 11,285.

    Do I need to do anything to join the step challenge?

    Nope I have added you to the spreadsheet ...all you do is post your steps daily or weekly but please get them in no later than Tuesday so I can tally them up and announce the top 5 steppers :)

    Good evening everyone. Glad to see most of you survived chocolate chip cookie day. I hope you have started getting ready for water balloon day.

    Check in for 8/4:
    Steps - 2993 plus 23 minutes recumbent bike moderate effort. 6 miles level 10 interval training mode. Sweated up a storm.
    Calories - 1707. Happy with that number, not happy with my snacking.
    Exercise - gym. Thank you all for getting me out there today. 6 machines - legs, abs, back extensions. Bike 20 min plus 3 cooldown. Last 3:45 was at 80 rpm.

    Went to see jungle cruise tonight. Everyone crowded into 3 rows so daughter and I moved. Just had soda, 12 runts and having unsalted pistachios as I type this.

    Weigh in Day:Wednesday
    Pw 212
    Current weight 212

    No increase this week...woohoo!! I returned to working in the office on monday...short lived as we were sent back home within a couple of hours. But I had already preplanned & made our lunches & dinner as I figured the first week back would be exhausting. So it's been great to just grab stuff & warm it up this week. I might have to keep this going. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

    Good morning MIssy... Glad you hanging tough! Maybe next week with that weight training and steps! 👍

    Monday got my strength workout in and a short walk. Steps yesterday were from taking the kids to a water park. It wasn’t a super sunny day so it wasn’t any busy which was nice.

    Great steppin action Rachel! And strength training. Sounds like your killing it! 😃

    Wednesday
    PW: 193.1
    CW: 197.0
    LTD: 55.6 pounds (SW 252.6)

    Just back from a week long vacation. Did a lot of hikes and ate some junk. We had long, active days. Went white water rafting, hiking, swimming in freezing cold swimming holes, saw waterfalls, went horseback riding, kids went zip lining, etc. We also saw six bears including a baby bear on a hiking trail at dusk. It was a great trip.

    Now, back at home, I'm feeling overwhelmed and stressed with lots to do. I'm exhausted. My mom did well taking care of herself while I was gone. Unfortunately, she had a fall last night and hurt her hip, knee and ankle. Covid numbers have surged here lately, so she is staying away from people as much as possible, so we'll see if she starts to feel better in the next few days. If not, I'll have to take her for x-rays.

    It is scary to know that the scale goes up so easily. When I am home and things are fairly routine, I do so well. When I am super busy, out of town, taking care of others away from my house, etc. it is incredibly difficult. I will never give up though! That's the difference now. So, as always, thanks to all of you for being here and keep on keepin' on!

    You are a busy girl Joyce! Sounds like you got so much work in I wouldn't sweat that weight for 1 second. Hiking and junk = mostly water weight. You'll be hitting a Woosh next I'm certain. :smiley:

    Daily check in
    8/3 steps 11,394 (will post 8/4 tomorrow)
    Stayed in my calorie goal for today (8/4) which is a big success since I woke up in the middle of the night last night starving and ate two cookies. Luckily, no more cookies in the house now... I was going to go to the gym but had to take a call after work instead. Work is stressing me out. Any one else struggle with balancing ambition with work/life balance?

    For dinner I made Migas -- my first time making it. Turned out amazing with lots of tomatoes, hot sauce, and some goat cheese on top with a side of black beans.

    Tomorrow I am hoping to get to Body Pump class... Fingers crossed I can get to the gym in time after a doc appt.

    MIgas sound interesting... I like spicy food my friend. Good luck at the gym man! :)

    Was it really Cookie day, and why didn't anyone tell me. Oh well I guess that means I miss Water balloon day too? Sounds like you had an amazing day... WOOOT WOOOT! 😁

    Good morning team! Day 3 of being back on track!

    I was able to hit the Gym early this morning with my workout buddy. It was a great upper body session. We are discussing setting up a weekly schedule for our workouts and what body parts we will be working each time.

    Today is going to be an easy day here at home. We’ve got people working in our back garden which at the moment is just a bunch of rock but it’s finally starting to take shape. We are having a pool put in which is super exciting. I do hope we can use it before the summer ends.

    I got on the scale this morning and was shocked to see a spike. I don’t know why these still surprise me. I’ve started strength training again and I know muscle repair can cause this. I’ll just keep going and won’t let this discourage me.

    Blessed day team 💪🏻♥️👍🏻

    Mari, Mari, Mari... You are a machine, and I love it. Great enthusiasm. I feel you on the spike, I had the same when I started weight training. It will pass... Usually around the 2 week mark for me. And either way you know your doing your body proud. Congratulations! :smiley:

    8/4
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 88oz
    Steps 9162

    No official exercise for the day. I danced/stepped in place at night while watching tv for those steps.

    @lindamtuck2018 On the days that both kids have school I will have about 3 hours. I plan on walking while the weather is nice. My husband and I are also considering joining the gym where the kids do swim lessons. I'd love to be able to swim laps at least once a week. They also have classes that don't cost anything extra after getting the membership. The only day my daughter will be home with me is Thursdays. The only variable is going to be watching my nieces. I'm not sure of the schedule with my brother changing jobs.
