Steps 9941
I gave a board member a tour of our facility today so that really helped the steps. We hadn't seen each other face to face for a few months as all meetings have been online and one of the first things she said to me was "wow you've lost heaps of weight!" Made me feel really good.7 -
Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:
2/2:
Calories: 1,125
Exercise: 80 minutes elliptical - 15 minutes stretching class
Steps: 15,447
I had a great exercise day yesterday - did physical therapy exercises for my knees this morning - going to try to hop on the elliptical this evening if my knees are happy. I hope you all have a great day!
@jayenguk You will definitely hit your goal - we are all here to support you!
It must feel great to be back exercising again. I know I am loving it.888Angie888 wrote: »Weigh Day Thursday

Steps for yesterday were not great - 4117. I was tied to my desk all day and crashed on the couch as soon as I got home.
Horrible sleep as well between my son and the dog. My son was up worrying about the start of new classes today. He has anxiety and ADHD. It was the first day of the new semester (grade 9) and none of his core group of friends were in any of his classes. Also, new teachers for him too. The dog got me up early as well to go out. After I let her out in the back yard, I didn't have the energy to go back up to bed so I crashed on the couch for a few more hours. She too didn't have the energy to go back up and join my wife in bed and she nestled in beside me.
One positive thing, back in the groove of my my Intermittent fasting.
That is something I want to get back into. I did really well with intermittent fasting awhile back. Do you do 16:8?Beautyofdreams wrote: »Was looking in a an old notebook today and found my weight and measurements from April 2011. I weighed 146.5(today 138.4), bust 36.5”(same today) waist 32(34 today because I don’t do ab exercises and post menopausal), hips 36 7/8(same today) thighs were about an inch bigger at 21” and calves are the same at 14 1/4 inches. Obviously carried more muscle at that weight than do now. Had been resistance training for 3 years at that point. Takeaway: muscle takes up less space than fat and I should be doing ab exercises. Will keep on resistance training and not expect the scale to go down necessarily.
It is finally feeling like am coming close to the end of weight loss. Was 47 then and today am 58.
This is amazing.cormierannie wrote: »It's been a mostly cloudy day here today. It's calling for snow ❄️ outside later on. My daughter says hello to everyone. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I've done 2 miles from the mega miles DVD today and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing in a while. Earlier the power went out for about an hour. There's a chance of it going off tomorrow afternoon when some maintenance work is done on the apartment building generator. Take care and stay safe, everyone.
Another wonderful exercise day!1 -

I have been pushing the cart lately at the grocery store and it makes me so mad how many steps I lose.Pippin20206 wrote: »Steps 9941

I am very pleased with this even though it’s a gain. I changed my batteries in my scales on Saturday and my weight was 6 pounds heavier than weigh day (211.4) It has dropped over the last week so it’s a win!4 -
✅Close Rings
✅Steps 14,657
✅Log Food
Swim 800 laps: 126/800
I discovered I can’t count yesterday. I counted my laps wrong and I did 10 less than I thought. I did a longer pool cardio workout yesterday and I had pretty good actual steps for me. I have been forgetting to put my Apple Watch back on after the sauna so I am losing steps walking back from the pool house and moving around the apartment until I realize I don’t have it on. Today’s plan: laps, arms and abs.
Happy Friday!7 -

Looking forward to the weekend - get to see the grandsons! Hoping we can do a little sledding if it's not too cold for them.
Still trying to get back to regular walking. Only two days this week so far - but it's better than none!6 -

I'm okay with this. I ate more than I should the past weekend. Ugh. I have to get that under control but I need to figure out how - open to suggestions! And then after I was food poisoned on Monday, I've been eating bread and noodles all week because my stomach's been so jacked, which for me, is like an invite to bloat up overnight like that kid on Willy Wonka.
I need to add in some strength training to my exercise. Does anyone here use a TRX? And if so, do you have any favorite youtubers? I'm thinking upper body for now because I can feel my lower body and glutes shaping up with all the time I'm spending on this exercise bike.

Happy Friday everyone! Another snowy day here in Toronto.
Steps for yesterday was low again 4060. I'll try and do better this weekend.
@lindamtuck2018 yes, I am doing 16:8. My stomach and digestion is much better when I'm doing it. I aim for 5 days a week.
