    @ashleymullo6195 Glad you are feeling a little bit better, and some light exercise will probably add to that feeling.

    @kristiekay1962 Hope you don't get sick....fingers crossed!

    @DaffyGirl88 My husband is also afraid of heights, but he finds a way. In the 10 minute gondola ride up he took one of the two seats and mostly just looked down at the floor. To get to the viewing platform at the top we had to walk around the building on a single person balcony, it you will. To get around that corner he walked, no, shuffled, facing the building with his hands on the wall. Kind of like a senior citizen Spiderman! Once he got around the corner and it opened up, he was okay, but tentative and he didn't like it when we, his family, were right up against the railing. He also didn't like it when I looked over the railing of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, even though my feel were still on the ground!

    ***very fortunate to have been able to purchase an Apple Watch 7; the watch (series 3) I had broke when I bumped it unintentionally against the edge of my desk a few months ago. what a difference having this is! my motivation and focus is back and my step count is way up! have to say, though, I am not doing anything very differently, so I believe I was under estimating my daily steps without it. But I am down in weight this week and feel great again

    ***ps. I am afraid of heights too and its not fun to be. I feel like I am going to fall off the face of the earth when I get too high up off the ground. I try to suck it up so I don't make everyone around me miserable but I can feel my heart pounding in my chest when I reach new heights. have been this way my entire life. I clearly remember being younger than 6 and unable to climb the steps to see the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia with my siblings. Ug. Not a choice; it is real.

    @HASWLRS
    Thank you for sharing the photos. You have a beautiful family and the scenery looked amazing. I've never seen anything like that in person.
    I'm so sorry you got sick, I'm sure they all they understood.
    And,Lisa, you look fabulous!

    Hi, team! I am just logging on for the first time today. This morning, the first thing I did was walk uptown to get some Halloween candy. Last year I did not do Halloween, (a lot of people didn't), but this year it's time to do it again. Thankfully I do not need a lot, because the selection was slim to none! When I got home I made little baggies of the goodies. I did come across 4 Reese peanut butter cups in the package that had opened wrappers (an assembly line mishap) so I had to eat them; can't give away open candy! The rest of the day I spent making new file folders for work as our fiscal year end was September 30th (yes, I am a little behind!). I didn't log any food, but I made good choices, and even got in 8 cups of water (something I haven't done in a very long time). I have been going through my low-fat cookbooks and making a grocery list accordingly for tomorrow's outing.

    I weighed myself this morning and it was 182.8. That is my starting point for the 20 pound challenge by Valentine's Day @brandi_84.

    @brandi_84 You are too kind! Fabulous is a very strong word...I will aspire to live up to it! And yes, I feel very lucky to be able to travel to Europe. Definitely having a child there makes you work hard to find a way!

    So, tomorrow is Halloween and it is also the first day of the November Challenge. Be sure to budget for any treats in your calorie allowance....we don't want to start the first day with an "over"!!

    On that note, if you are continuing on with us into November, why not pop over to the new thread and post an introduction for our many new team mates!

    I need to step out of the challenge. My heart isn't in it and it isn't fair to the team. I think if I take some time to refocus I'll come back and do better in the future.

    @thedestar I, of all people, understand having to step away when your heart isn't into it. By all means, refocus your efforts and then come back ready to tackle any obstacle. Best of luck to you, Destiny!

    October Week #4

    And the jumping daily shows up here from a week ago but not up to what it was 2 days ago and not as low as as I want to be. My activity needs to go up.. lets hope my knee and calf are okay with this goal.

    Take it slow and easy, how bad is your knee and are you seeing a doctor for it?

    Sorry I am so late answering here. Thanks for checking on me. Yes, I am seeing a doc. I had miniscus root repair last August. Long recovery and then when i was cleared and my mind okay with training again, i strained my calf (even had to cancel a trip to Disney world ) so just getting back to walking with no pulling pain in the calf. Appt tomorrow and hoping to get the all clear.
