Guys! I just needed to hop on and share this: I did 5 days of the Epic 2 program this week - 4 on consecutive days! And I only started on Monday. I can't believe how much stronger I have become.
I'll be back tomorrow with my weigh-in.
Enjoy your Saturday, Friends!8 -
Posting first so I don’t forget.
CW 199.9
Barely hung on to it. Not too worried. This week was challenging with the back thing.
Will check back later 🙂6 -
@YinxFed Hey that's awesome! Noticing increases to strength is such a nice feeling. Way to go.
@micki48 Nice work holding on despite your pain!
It's pouring rain and cold here today but I got out for my walk. Nothing a good rain jacket couldn't handle
But staying on the couch was mighty tempting... 3 -
@YinxFed good job with Epic 2! Wow!3

@YinxFed wooooooo!!! that is SO AWESOME
@eggfreak WaistAways Castle Island trek sounds like fun to me!
I was pretty smart about the Halloween party last night and very happy to report that the scale did not move from Fri to today. However, eating at the regatta was a little unhealthy and dinner was on the carb-y side. So I bet I'll see a somewhat unfriendly number tomorrow but that's okay. Planning a workout and lots of meal prep for Sunday, with plenty of steps.
@jugar hope the reunion is/was fun!!5 -
What a great day! It is amazing how much we have all grown up in 50 years
Lots of fun conversations, terrible food (made it easy to have salad for dinner!) but great company. It was fun to see how all the things that divided us at age 17 disappeared over time. It was also sad to see some classmates in a wheelchair, dealing with other health problems, and remembering the 18 of us who are no longer alive. Glad I came!
Just a quick LAST CALL for tonight!

Oh! I forgot to mention that it looks like the Castle Island walk won't be able to happen this trip. It's a little too far away and I have no vehicle, so it will have to be another time. It looks great, though! Next time, I hope.5

@Terytha So glad to see you check in. Sorry life has been such a struggle lately. But you are stronger than you think and can do amazing things. Keep checking in. We are always hear for you.
@jugar Glad you had a great reunion. It’s so fun to see classmates. But sad to realize many are no longer around. We have also lost many classmates and we are nearing 40 years out. Sad indeed.
Hit my step goal today. Made a yummy beef stew. Put a new bed together. Took a short walk. Logged food. Pretty good day.7 -

@Kali225
And a big congrats to @YinxFed who had her biggest day of October fitness yet on the 23rd!
Together, the eight of us walked a total of 663,425 steps this week – 314 miles. We pulled off a slight improvement as a team this week. This distance could have gotten us from Las Vegas all the way down to Phoenix. Keep up the consistency and all the good work – so many folks have been holding strong above their daily pledge, setting new records for themselves, or working on consistency in their workout programs. Love to watch it all add up!6 -
10/24 exercise:
30 minutes yoga + 14663 steps
We had the most beautiful scenery yet again today in the mountains weather has been holding out and it's breathtaking this time of year. Plus, it's shoulder season so everything feels a little quieter.
Well, busy day of work tomorrow and I hope it doesn't keep me up with
Hope everyone had a great weekend!4 -
Also big thanks to everyone for getting their steps in so early this week!

Happy Monday! It's a nice rainy one here, but I took a good walk with the dog anyhow and then realised that I was not wearing my tracker. Grrrr. Bad person. Good dog.
It's my last day here before heading down to North Carolina for a few days to finish the first international parental unit tour of 2021. It has been a bit tough seeing how much my dad has declined during this time, and I hope we'll be able to make a plan that will ease him into more care so that my step-mom is not responsible 24 hours a day.
Just a few reminders for today, and then I'll get some more recruiting set up on the message boards. If you use them here on MFP or elsewhere, feel free to share the sign-up link to encourage others to join us!
Weigh-ins due Monday/Tuesday:
@DD265
@Kali225
I hope you working folks have a great week without too much stress - and that all of us have a good final week of October 5 -

@jugar my dad is also experiencing a bit of a rapid decline and it has caused a lot of pressure on my mother to monitor him 24/7. If you have recommendations for care solutions that work to ease pressure on the caregiver, please share!3
