Good Evening Y'all,
Stayed pretty busy again today... Went to Home Depot and shopped around for random things I needed to make a Storage rack for my Slam Balls. it fits just so across the top of the Power Rack. I'm no carpenter, but I did it. A little measuring, sawing, sanding, drilling, screwing and sandpapering... And Voila, it works. I'll paint it black another day. 😋
But before operation get your crafts on, Lynn and I went out to the lake for a 2.5-mile jaunt. We even slogged some uphill sections for the fun of it? 🤓
My legs, and knees are particular sore at the moment... But I will Survive! 👍
All I got left to do now is get the exercise room prepped for tomorrow's workout! And I might just go to bed for like 7pm-7:30pm. 💤
Good night! 🥰🤗

Hi all, here for Monday check in.
Yay for a loss, I have no idea how because my food hasn't been good, was getting back home at 1am consecutively so, ended up with fast food a number of times..shall see if it is just a fluctuation, but hoping I can retain the loss and lose more for next week. It was great to get out to live events again.
This week I'm planning on reintroducing more exercise whether that be bike or stationery bike, HIIT, weights or yoga. My plan is at least 3 times alongside any walking I do. I think doing that will help give a sense of structure, achievement and hopefully aid in revitalising my motivation.
It has been comforting reading the team's posts in seeing that a few of you are also going through similar emotions, setbacks etc lately, however, we are all still here not totally giving up which is a win amongst it all!
I'm going to have homemade tomato sauce from tomatoes I grew this year with pasta for dinner, yum!
Weighing pasta/rice/potatoes can be anxiety inducing with the whole dry vs cooked aspect. I'm not sure why it's a thing because water doesn't have calories, but the cooked weight is increased by the water so how do we know what weight the cooked food actually is in that case.. it's like ahhh! I'm interested to know what you guys do in regards to that.
Have a great week everyone!2 -
Good Morning Everyone! Hope each of you had a wonderful weekend! I have been sticking to a workout routine and eating well (keeping under my 1500 calories). Although the weight has not come off as fast as I would like, it is coming down. Currently I am at 267lb which is 7lbs lost in two weeks. More importantly is I feel better and find myself having more energy.
Also, my neck and waist have decreased by 1 and 3 inches respectively so I am hopeful
Take care everyone and keep the press!! Jim5 -

Yeesh. I knew after "losing"' 4.7 lbs over the prior two weeks that it was going to be tough to get a third winning week in and I think sodium is the culprit! Susan served Mexican for dinner on Saturday night and sweet & sour pork last night. What's for dinner is what I eat so despite my (probably feeble) attempts to moderate my portions, I think it was just too much (sodium, calories, sugar, etc.) to overcome so I'm hoping this is nothing more than just a little water weight gain. Anyway this just provides a little more motivation to knock it out of the park next week right?
I joined the Ladder Up challenge and will be doing squats this week. I did a month-long challenge back in Oct 2019 building up to 300 on the last day. You can bet I got the correct form down after all that! I've already done my 40 for today and will be going up to 100 (I expect to have to break it into 2 sets) when the challenge ends on Sunday.5 -

Monday Morning Everyone! 😀
The weekend has left the building. Time to rub the sleep from your eyes and start running. That's right, tackle anything that gets in your way. We're not taking any prisoners!!!! ARrrggGHGHGHGHhhhhhhHHHHHH! 😜😆😀😁🤗😊
Did more HIIT on the Elliptical this morning. However, I tried something a little new this morning. I got off the elliptical on 2 occasions to slam a slam ball on the ground 20 times each time. Slamming slam balls = high heart rate apparently. lol. I used the 15 pounders, figured I might as well leave room for improvement. 😁
I also had a bit of shenanigans on the scale this morning. First time I stepped on it, it kind of Teeter totted between 376.6 and 366.8 and it stuck on 376.6. Doesn't usually have such a large swing, so I tried stepping on it 3 more times and each time I was now getting 366.8. But Renpho already updated my Fitbit, and Fitbit automatically updated MFP. SO, I'm like DOH! I go upstairs and sit In front of my fan in Turbo mode naked as the day I was born and dig into the apps. I end up deleting the MFP automatic update, and then realize that my second Renpho measurement didn't include all the body weight, BMI and muscle mass info. So, I delete that... heck I deleted everything about today. So, after 5 minutes I march back downstairs naked, and much drier thanks to Turbo Fan. 👍😎. Step on the scale, and BOOM 366.6 pounds for a total of 2 Pounds lost. And I was pleased to see MFP posted it up. WOOT WOOT! lol
Okay I'm going to be late for work... Have an amazing day everyone! 🥰😘🤗🤗🤗

So I signed up for a 7 am yoga class on zoom... we will see how that goes. It’s 6:30 am and I am eating breakfast so at least I am awake! I’m hopeful to do a little better on tracking my calories but just learned my in laws are visiting this week from Virginia so there may be some unpredictable meals...

I weigh mine dry but I am usually cooking for myself. My family does not eat what I eat. One thought, weigh one serving dry, cook it, drain it and then wait to see what it weighs after cooking one serving. Let’s us know the difference because now, I am curious.
I’m jealous of your tomatoes. I used to make my own tomato sauce and salsa from my garden all the time but I no longer have a garden 😞
