As disheartening as this is, I’ve had quite the challenging time this past month. Am determined to get my health back to the top of my priority list, and am feeling positive.
Hi @jessicakrall8
Here’s my weigh-in I posted from Monday this week. Thinking you missed it 🙂

Friday was productive study-wise... my step count was decent - it helped that my sister's dog (husky) escaped and i walked a few blocks in search (we found her).
Today is the day i take my final exam and see if how well i absorbed the material I've been reviewing/studying. Wish me luck!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
@yukie86 Missing steps for the 23rd...thanks!

Happy Sunday from Japan!
I just wanted to share this quote which was on my daily quote calendar at my office desk;
CHOICES we make regarding our physical and mental health today decide our ability to stay active, sharp, present, and strong for tomorrow.
Let's do this everyone! Hope everyone have a great morning/ day/ evening/ or night!

Eek! Currently traveling and there's no scales around here! Last time I weighed in on Friday I was 141.3 lbs is it ok to stick to that? My weigh in day is Sunday.
I suppose I'd need to imagine I'm the same weight til 5th Oct lol 🤣🙈2 -

Good morning team. Had an okay Saturday. I am not sure how many calories I ate, but the scale didn't show a huge difference this morning. I didn't go crazy with pizza and fries, but instead decided to buy some fresh buns. Less unhealthy and cheaper. I wasn't feeling like doing a workout, yet I eventually managed to do one in the evening.
My wintershoes arrived. They aren't anything special, just cheap vegan boots that will work well when it gets colder.

All of us have had struggles over the past few months and few of us are new to this journey...I've been thinking about how many of us fall into the trap of trying to be perfect...doing everything right and then spending most of our time feeling guilty and beating ourselves up over NOT being perfect. Well, there are no perfect people and there is no perfect plan. It took us a long time to put this weight on...it didn't creep up on us and it won't fall off. So, for the next 7-8 weeks, we're going to concentrate, make extra effort, talk about and FEEL GREAT about doing something right...
Week 1, pick one of the following and work on it diligently all week...discuss it with the team...report your struggles...ask questions...announce your victories...one at a time...we'll work through these. We may even have a wildcard week where you can pick one of your own...baby steps and small changes...that's how we'll conquer them...one at a time.
Join me, will you?! (Thanks to my buddy Doug @mulecanter , for the lovely graphic...)

Good morning team. I woke up not feeling too great on Sunday, but the weather was really nice! So without thinking too much about it, I went out for a walk in the national park. Good choice. It was really pretty and I saw woodpeckers, a deer through the trees and my second ever fox. The rest of the day was fairly relaxed.

So, what are you working on for the Captain's Challenge, Week 1?
I'm working on weigh-ins. My goal is to be consistent...weigh in a few times during the week, but NOT obsess over the numbers. I have asked to be moved out of the Support team and my weigh-ins start this Friday again!
Let's hear your choice and why?! Talk to me!

Ugh! Suspect water retention is the culprit here. Super salty meal last night. Actually had a great week, finally got back to walking each day and logged every bite. All good - I’m sure the scale will catch up after a few days.3 -
Hey Trimstones ....You have a new member joining you ...Please welcome @shell2is

For the Captain’s Challenge - Week One I will be working on Calorie Counting. I plan to log every bite that passes my lips for the week. And if it can be weighed/measured, I will be weighing/measuring it. I truly believe that accountability is the key, and I sometimes fall into the trap of trying to “cheat the system” by not being honest about what I’m eating. All that allows me do is to cheat myself. We’ve got this Team - let’s do it!1

This week planning to re-gain focus and utilize the time I had been studying (in the wee hours of the morning before work) to incorporate some physical activity.

I had a really good day today...knee is still a little sore from my walking excessively on Saturday, but I was trying to finish go mileage goal for the month of Sept and I did! I walked 25 miles of intentional walking this month...did 22 last month and 20 in July...next month, I'll be going for 28...working my way up a little at a time so as not to overwhelm these joints. I also wanted to hit 10k steps on Saturday...LOL nearly hit 11k! Go big or go home, right?!
Got a lot of work stuff done today...kept up with the emails, did some research...productive day.
Hope all of you had productive and good days as well.

Good morning team. Another Monday, another gym day. I started a new training schedule. It was supposed to be next week, but he got the dates mixed up. Not a problem, though I miss my benchpress; I liked that one a lot. New schedule is always brutal and I am sore in a lot of places this morning. Thankfully, this is usually only 1 or 2 times. It's amazing how fast the body adjusts. I was still pretty hungry after I ate all my planned food for the day. Considering I also had the choir in the evening which made my day very long, I decided to eat some more. I was 10 calories under my max, so it just about fit! Super exhausted today. Going to the store a bit later and look for a new battery for my scale because it's low.3 -

@yukie86 Congrats on completing and slaying your exams!! Doesn't it feel great?!!
@Pupowl You're tearing that gym routine up...great job!! Are you still going through some of the soreness in your muscles or are you past that point?!
I'm working hard today and I have to teach a piano lesson tonight. I purposefully put off eating my first meal of the day (I usually do two meals 10:30 and 5:30), but today since I have to teach tonight, I waiting until Noon and my 2nd meal will be at 6:30. Hoping that extra window will help me stay on track and my dinner is something special (although quite calorically controlled), so hoping I won't cheat. I'm working extra hard this week as I get back to the scale and I'm already down several pounds...want a GREAT weigh in on Friday both for the results but also for my mental uplift. I AM DETERMINED!!!!!!! HEAR ME SCALE DEMONS...you WILL lay down!!
See ya'll later this evening! Man, I'm having the BEST day!
Jessica
