I am pleased with my weight loss today. The past two weeks have been tough because I had been on a roll with the gym and exercising, and logging my food. Then I went to visit my step-mom and got completely off track. She and I sat around and did completely nothing. When I got back home I had to break that cycle. In the midst of me trying "go get it " it was hard to get motivated. So I did have to push myself to get moving again. It's amazing how four days can change your mind and zap your motivation.
I pushed through and prayerfully, I am back on the right road. I've had some very busy days and that has helped too but I'm back in the gym.
Happy Saturday! Blessings everybody!!

I have been quite busy this week and haven’t been able to get on here as much as I’d like. But now it’s the weekend and I’m sitting here enjoying my coffee. I have plans to catch up on all the posts tonight while on night shift and see how everyone is doing. My spring challenge has been going ok. Though I have struggled with weighing myself everyday. It goes up and down as we all know and sometimes it’s more depressing than encouraging. Plus I have been the same weight at weigh in for three weeks. It’s time to have the scales moving. I hate platoghs. My pup is growing like a bad weed lol. She is four and half months now and is up to 65 pounds lol. Now when she wants to play we know it haha. Plus she is eating like the horse she is haha. We actually started ordering her food on Amazon as it’s cheaper and it’s on an auto send so we don’t have to think about it anymore if she is out. Anyway I’d better go. I’m getting my hair done today then going grocery shopping so I have to get in the shower. This is the first time I have went into a salon since Covid I have just been kinda doing it myself which isn’t always pretty haha….have a great day everyone!3 -

@micaroo4 I hope you were able to get out and get your groceries. I have to do that today. Single digits? Yikes! Good for you for getting out and walking in that. LOL about the cartoon, thanks for posting!
@askewcr Sounds like you are as busy as ever. Congrats on the loss, you are gettin' it!
@Cornanda Congrats on the loss! The flower fields are so pretty and inspiring. Someday, I will pay to actually go into the fields lol. I hope you get your mind reset and can have a good weekend. I also hope you get to go out for dinner, yum!
@Katmary71 Hugs to you as well! Have a great weekend.
@FushiaKat I hope you get the kidney thing figured out with your docs. I'm glad you got your shot.
@amioc @MOUNTAINMERMAIDCO @bgame4 Congrats on the losses!
Hi all. I am so glad it's Saturday. I enjoyed my vacation time yesterday and took full advantage of it to start two paintings. This morning, I am going to pretrack my week and tweak my meal plan, if needed. I will then go get groceries. Nothing else planned, just R&R.
My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Exercise 3 days a week - Not yesterday but have 3 days so far
2) Drink 50 oz of water a day - 25 oz drank

My Spring Challenge commitment is:
1) Read for 30 minutes a day or use my Scroll Saw - I read tonight.
2) Move at least 30 minutes a day or walk 3000 steps - 2348 steps so far today.
3) Weigh everyday - 171.5 I ate shrimp salad today because I'm having baked potato again tomorrow.
Taking it easy today, I read for a couple of hours. Did some laundry, changed the bed sheets and cooked lunch.1 -
Hi team, on my laptop tonight, I got out of the tub and came straight to it to catch up with all of you!
@FushiaKat I'm sorry to read about your kidney function, I hope there's an easy answer to it like switching a medication. I hope you sleep through the night, I wish that was true about food eaten in the middle of the night! Shrimp salad sounds amazing, I knew I wanted to go to the store for something yesterday that was only on sale on Friday and totally forgot, it was shrimp! Shoot, next sale!
@askewcr Congratulations on the weight loss! Way to go on getting started again, it's so easy to keep on slacking off but you're back on track.
@tammymccrady6278 Holy cow your pup is getting really big! Have fun getting your hair done, I love hair days! Going to be looking hot at the grocery store! I'm always too tired to go out afterward but I always feel pretty plus my hairstylist is awesome so I have fun visiting.
@trooworld What are you painting? I know I'm nosy! I finished Deacon King Kong btw, I enjoyed the ending.
Had a tough Saturday, when I was at the holistic pain group making bath salts for them to sell the nurse looked to see what I have left on the rent-to-own unit, she lied and said it was a new unit when I got it when I was waiting for the last renter to turn it in (guess I was supposed to forget) when she was going to order me a new one so I'm getting the one I've been renting and she upped the price by quite a bit. It's almost paid off and I don't have the original quote so it's my word against hers and it helps me so I'm kind of stuck, taking her to court would be way more than paying it off. She either forgot the price she told me or thought she's squeeze more out of me when I had no choice and I'm really not ok with that especially after all the times I've helped her out and asked for nothing back. I was considering her a friend but that friendship is over. I sent her a letter and she backed down from trying to get an extra $800 out of me but it's still $400 more plus a lie that I didn't call her on because I couldn't nicely remind her of that. I'm not good at fake liking people, I have to think of this as a business relationship and not friendship now. On a brighter note tomorrow we're celebrating my Mom's birthday so it will be fun to be with family plus it will be good for my nephew to be around everyone. Have a great Sunday gang!

@askewcr- it is amazing how simple it is to get off track and how difficult it can be to put good habits back in place. Kudos to you for getting to it.
@tammymccrady6278 - I weigh daily and you've got to take the good with the bad. The good is that if I pop up on weigh in day- I've been weighing all week, so I know that's not a true number. Another good is that I may bump up my exercise or cut back on food during the week if my weight is up. The bad is the ups and downs during the week can play with your emotions. Try to treat it like a piece of data and nothing else.
@trooworld - hope you are enjoying a nice quiet weekend.
@FushiaKat - hope your knee feels better and the kidney thing is an easy fix. My Dad has been working on his kidney function for probably 10 years now. The tweaked some meds and it's been quite stable.
@Katmary71 - wow, that takes a lot of guts on her part asking for all that help and then cheating you. I'm glad you stuck up for yourself. I admire your strength!
@19shmoo69 - Whoa 5 pounds- wow!
Quiet weekend here. Went out Friday and got a margarita! Took a nice long walk yesterday and then did house cleaning and worked in the yard. Nice active day! Kids will be home later in the week for Spring Break. I tend to fall off the wagon a bit when they are here because the foods they like are things I don't eat often when they are gone. Time to go do some menu planning. My pup is hanging in there- his belly is quite large with fluid, but he continues to act like not much is wrong. I really underestimated how stubborn, I mean determined he is.
My son is graduating in early May. We are expecting a family visit around then, AND it's my birthday. I went shopping in my closet for a dress to wear to the grad and it would look much nicer if I got some pounds off prior. I'm considering challenging myself to get losing for these occasions. After the crazy week I had, I'm wondering if this is a good idea. Still pondering.
Enjoy Sunday.

One of my goals is to walk 10 miles each week.
Week 1 - 3/1-3/5: I walked 14.3 miles. If I include the elliptical at the gym my total is 22.6.
I have to say, I hate getting started, but always feel so much better after.
Great first week towards my 40 Miles in March for colorectal cancers. At this rate, I’ll have no problem completing the challenge. 🌞🌞🌞2 -
@leonadixon @kkay2345 @19shmoo69 Congrats on the losses!
@Katmary71 LOL I don't mind sharing! I finished the piece I was painting, it was an abstract called "Blues Cuts the Cheese". I'll post a pic of it. I haven't quite finished Deacon King Kong, I am at the ending though. I'm so sorry about the rent-to-own unit, that is not right! To take advantage of someone in pain that needs it, that is shameful. I hope you enjoy celebrating your mom's birthday.
@Cornanda Thank you, I am! I'm glad you went out on Friday and enjoyed a margarita. You are doing great with the walks. Thank you for updating us on your pup...I'm glad he's hanging in there.
Hi all. I had a great day yesterday relaxing. My husband and I parked far away from the coffee house and walked and had coffee, I went to an art opening by myself, and then came home to watch tv with my husband.
Here's a painting I just finished, it's called "Blues Cuts the Cheese":
My Spring Challenge commitment is:

@Katmary71 I am so sorry that your nephew is still struggling! I pray that he can overcome his issues and start loving his young life. Thanks for the advice on container gardening. I like the idea of growing some herbs.
@Cornada Amazon lost my quilt so I canceled the order. I was super annoyed but then I found a much nicer one on Wayfair and it will be here Tuesday, so I will let you know how I like it. I think you should challenge yourself to get into a nice dress for your son’s graduation and your birthday. Is there a chance you might not make it? Sure! But what are the chances of you getting into the dress if you don’t even try? Right!! That is what I told myself this morning. I could use all this health stuff with Joe to just stop trying but what would that accomplish? Me NOT ever getting into the cute T-shirts that I bought last summer. The motto is to NEVER give up! OK!! Good, I knew you would see it my way.
Hi Team! Sorry that I went MIA but we had to take another trip to the hospital. My Joe passed out Thursday morning at 6 am. I got him back in bed but when I tried to get him back up, he started passing out again, so I called the ambulance. The fall fractured his left humerus bone, and he will be in a sling for two weeks and then PT after that. The attending doctor feels that what has been causing Joe's fainting spells is something called Orthostatic Hypotension. This mainly means that his blood pressure drops when he stands up and he gets dizzy. The doctor is giving him a new med that is supposed to help regulate his BP from falling so low. Praying he doesn’t have an adverse effect! We came home last night at 7 pm and Joe was so weak he couldn’t even get up on his own. He is doing a bit better this morning but I think we are in for a long road of recovery and he is scheduled for his second chemo treatment next Friday. Yikes! This has been such an ordeal. Four hospital stays in four months is enough already!!
And of course, my weight is up from doing nothing but sitting and eating through my stress. But today that changes. I have restarted a Data-Driven Fasting challenge and I will get back to my workouts tomorrow. This whole thing with Joe has shown me that I have to start taking better care of myself so that I can take care of him and so that I can grow old in the best possible health possible.
There are 14 days left for March 20, the first day of Spring! Let’s not drop the ball on this challenge no matter what challenges we face in our lives!

What the--? (Who am I kidding?) I know why I gained last week - I just don't think it's really 4.0 lbs.; so this week I'm going to be extra careful with nutrition and water and I plan to do much more activity; so hopefully, I will show significant progress in the right direction by March 13th.
I call "Do-Over"! For some reason, my weight loss ticker doesn't want to update. I will check back in tomorrow to see if it took effect overnight.
Have a great week everyone!

We've completed another week, folks! And with some awesome numbers up on the spreadsheet, we've set ourselves up to have a successful month. Can we do it again next week? Can we do even better?
Take a look at last week's results in the links below:

Another week in green (I know it's my second week here only, but kept records on my own, so green since I started jan 3rd), but this week was harder. The pin didn't move untill Saturday. Keep tracking almost everything, and feels like I have kind of controll.
Was working my second job this weekend, but found time to take my youngest with me for a good trip in the forrest yesterday. She's my little princesse
This week is starting of ok. My wife's having a job interview today, but other than that no plans except work before Sunday (the weeks in Norway starts on Mondays). On Sunday I have to go to the army for 4 days. We do one year of conscription, and after we do 4 days most years til we're 44. So probably my last time. Four days is not a lot, but I'll miss my wifes 30th birthday.5 -

Loss this week 3.2 lb
Very happy this week I've had a knee injury since March 2021 which limited my walking and instigated my weight loss! Finally a full week with no knee pain, so I've upped my walking! The extra exercise really had results.
I swam twice this week over a mile. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of tucking my phone into my bra when I don't need a purse ... I tucked it in my swimsuit and forgot! My phone didn't enjoy 50 laps in the pool !! It's been traumatic getting a new one set up I mean who remembered all their passwords!!6
