    Good evening everyone. I hope you beat up Monday.
    Check in for 1/31:
    Steps - 13712
    Calories - 1802. I am eating my feelings tonight. I am chomping on 400g of green grapes. If I don't finish them then I will have less calories. At least it is something healthy.
    Exercise - gym in morning. 9 machines but no bike. Knee was twinging. Walk in afternoon. Up and over the hill. 3.65 miles in 63 minutes.

    I am already getting full so I will be returning at least 100g of grapes.

    01/31
    10 min. Elliptical 1.33 mi
    90 min. Walking 2.0mph? Light
    35 minutes strength training moderate

    Felt well today so mom and I went shopping in a neighboring town. Then went to rec center. Had to stop after weights because got dizzy and nauseated. Ended up having to sit down for a while until felt better. While didn’t lose much strength over the ten days off did lose a lot of cardio fitness. Will see my gp for a follow up on the vertigo tomorrow.

    @lindamtuck2018 will have to remember that word. It perfectly describes my urges to snack.

    Did you have steps for 1/30 or is that your day off?

    Weigh-in Day: Monday (Jan 31, 2021)
    PW: 221.1
    CW: 221.1
    SW: 240

    Apologies for being a little late. I'm actually surprised I came right in at 0.0 change since we went out of town over the weekend to visit Columbus, OH. Not exactly a travel destination in the winter but our daughter is getting married there in the summer 2023 so we were looking at reception halls and churches so we can get a place and date nailed down (and start up the big vacuum of our bank account :) ). Our older son goes to college in Columbus and our youngest son came with us since both their birthdays are close to last weekend so it was also a dual birthday celebration as well. Fun weekend - a little too much eating and maybe an extra glass of wine and beer with meals but it was fun and apparently I didn't do too much damage on the scale - I call that a win!

    Sounds like a great family celebration so I agree, it is a win.

    Good Morning Everyone.

    First Weigh-in Day (Tuesday)

    CW - 192
    UGW - 140

    Monday steps -7881

    Up a pound since registration last week. Ive been eating poorly but getting back on track. I am going away up north with friends in 4 weeks for a birthday celebration weekend with lots of hiking and outdoor time. Hoping to shed a few pounds by then.

    A little about me. I live in Toronto, Ontario. I am turning 48 in a week. I am a mother to a 14 year old son and I have a wife whom I have been with for 17 years. I use to be extremely fit and active (ice hockey, rock climbing, muay thai boxing) but have just become very burnt out and sedentary over the years. I started getting back into nature a few years ago with hiking and back country canoe trips. I am tired of all the extra weight and need to get back to my old self.

    I was diagnosed with sever sleep apnea 1.5 years ago and now use CPAP. Anyone other CPAP folks out there? I am hoping that when I drop 50 lbs I won't need it any longer. One of my goals I guess :)

    The main thing is your back on track. You are our second team member from Toronto. I am not far down the road in London. I am jealous you are going up North. We have lived i. Ontario almost 23 years and have never been. I have sleep apnea. Years ago it was diagnosed as mild. The sleep test was repeated and I was told it was severe. I kept putting off going back for the followow up. By the time I did the sleep doctor noticed I had lost a lot of weight and redid the sleep test. It showed I was only having issues on my back. He set me up with a machine to use for a month to determine what rates you needed on the cpap. I hated and never went to get the machine. It has been about 3 or 4 years. So I guess the moral of my long reply is my sleep apnea did improve with weight loss. I really should get a new test to see if I have I,proved further.
