@DD265 Hope you got out of work on time and that you're happily puttering around in the allotment. The bed situation sounds frustrating and you did so well avoiding the takeaway when things didn't go as planned. Glad you were able to figure out a solution despite the challenges.
@ells_bellz Great weigh in this week - wow! Good job
@Gidgitgoescrazy Glad the project you've returned for is fun for you. Sounds like your help is badly needed! Enjoy the kayaking tomorrow!
@micki48 Great green week. I have all the faith in you that you will find your groove and keep things moving in the direction you want. Major life changes are hard to manage - you will get back to a routine I'm sure but it's clear you're still working on settling.
6/23 exercise:
10066 steps
We slept in until almost 9 so that made our decision as to whether or not we would work today. I plan to ride the Peloton and we'll get out to the lake earlier than normal. Looking forward to getting back to our routine.

Whew! We are almost at the point of submitting the bigger more complicated grant application. Might not happen today, but we are close. It is not adding to my steps, but it is sure intense!3

Well my weight hasn't budged since we came back from the hotel on Monday. I'm sure it will get back to normal. I have really only been on target for the past 2 days. Just finished up a TRX workout and then went for a short walk with the dogs.
@jugar That sounds intense 😳 Hope you can wrap it up and get back to your usual activities soon. Good luck.
@ashleycarole86 Glad you were able to take the day off and get back to your routine. Hope the puffiness begins to leave and you start feeling like yourself again soon.
@Gidgitgoescrazy Have fun kayaking tomorrow! That's what we will be doing too. We are just finally getting warm so no need to rush off early here!5 -
TGIF.
Good news: I am moving onto the final round of interviews! Likely next week, and made of 3 back-to-back 30 min interviews with 1 manager each. Hope I can hack it. I think I would like this job.
Bad news: the US is being hammered with 3 days straight of a supreme court that is... beyond the pale. not to get political on you all, but this news combined with starting my time of the months has me in the dumps. Definitely wanted to storm down to whole foods and get some cookies to make myself feel better. but it wouldnt actually make me feel better, would it? no. so here I sit. stewing.
I did get a lot of movement in today. I jogged parts of my morning walk, equivalent to 1 mile, did a 20 min yoga 'deep core' video that is an old favorite, and did my first 60 min full body hiit class (via instagram live) in many weeks, due to my foot. I've been icing a lot and I think it feels okay?
@ashleycarole86 can you put me back on the step team for July? daily goal - 8000. here I come!
On second thought, would ice cream help??5 -
Welome @S1ncerelyj3ss1

Welcome @S1ncerelyj3ss ! Tell us a bit about you, your goals, anything you feel comfortable sharing - soon you'll get to know all of us, and we hope this will be a great group for you.
@Kali225 I too am feeling weird about what is happening in the US right now. I remember seeing a doctor for birth control in 1971 when it had only been legal for a short time. The doctor and all the staff were so happy to be able to help women who wanted to explore some freedom and security. If that is a problem for any here, I am sorry. You make your choice, I make mine - I would never prevent anyone from following their choice. And no, one of them is not cookies and ice cream to make it somehow better. Great news about your interviews, though! I hope things fall into place for you
I am looking forward to our new members joining in! Please be sure to let us know if you have questions, or any ideas for how we can help you get started. @S1ncerelyj3ss and @robinhardysmall jump in as soon as you can!3 -

Thanks!1 -
@PlaneMonkey Shawarma poutine sounds like fun for sure. And in the province that has the proper squeaky cheese too!
@jugar Exciting about the grant application. Did you get it submitted?
Welcome @S1ncerelyj3ss
Hope the two kayaking ladies @conleywoods @Gidgitgoescrazy are having a blast today. The weather here was very cold and windy yesterday and Brad and I were both happy we weren't on the water and setting up our tent... this trailer camping has spoiled us
@Kali225 Excited to have you back on the step team! Got you down for July. Hope you managed to avoid the ice cream.1 -
Our team chat for July is open! Please continue to post this week's weigh-ins here, and go to the new thread to (re)introduce yourselves and get set for a new month -

6/24 exercise:
20 minutes strength
46 minutes Peloton
9715 steps
Employed the one perfect day strategy yesterday. Even though I know my SHOCKING (yes, that's an appropriate word) water retention will have to mostly release itself on its own, I'm back on a deficit after my 6 days of excess in an effort to help things along. I will continue on that path until I reach the bottom section of my maintenance range.
The first 2.4 pounds are already gone this morning, so things are headed in the right direction. I was telling Brad it still feels like there's a rock in my stomach... another 8 to go to get back to the top of my range... if it goes at that rate the next few days I'll do it by Thursday. I would like to not have to go back on the regular team so soon but if it has to be then I shall follow in the footsteps of @jugar and get back into the zone as quickly as I can.
Today our trailer friends will be up so we'll have lunch together with them. I also plan to walk our dog, have a video chat with Brad's mom, do some reading, and perhaps some boating if we don't time out.2 -
@ashleycarole86 sounds like you are heading for another perfect day! I have no worries that you will be back in your hard-earned and beautiful goal zone soon

Thanks @jugar ... your faith in the team (and me!) means a lot
@Gidgitgoescrazy Great weigh in to end June - good job!! Enjoy your day of fun activity to celebrate2 -
PW: 217.4
CW: 220.2
Well, needless to say a rough week for me. We celebrated father's day last Sunday and we took my father in law out to dinner. Not bad, it was planned, and I stayed within calorie budget. Monday and Tuesday were good days. I was down to 216.4 at the beginning of the week. Then Wednesday was my hubby's birthday and he wanted hibachi and of course cake. Thursday I had leftovers of both. Then Friday, I was good most of the day until I got home. I even went out and bought a sticky bun 😳 It was delicious, but I didn't need it. So here we are today, and my weight is accurately reflecting what I ate.
So, enough eating and especially not tracking. I am back to tracking today. One meal at a time. I read all the posts this week, but didn't post myself at all. The prior few weeks I did great, but consistency is key.7 -
Today we took our son and daughter in law out to lunch. 3rd day on holiday and starting to feel human again - phew!

I wish I knew how to attach pictures! I'm sure it used to be easier!
Oh, I did it - from my laptop!
These are the pictures I wanted to attach earlier!
