    Good morning! We have had some amazing losses so far this week. Great job. For those who don’t lose this week, look at your NSV’s as not all wins are on the scale.

    Lee has requested a another bingo challenge. It’s been awhile since we done one. I will post it on Saturday evening and it will start on Sunday. It will be a great way to finish out the September challenge.

    Having trouble getting back to sleep, so I thought I'd check the thread... Woohoo, another Bingo. Linda, you rock!!😁

    I also need to start focusing more on getting to goal range now that the hubster is just so much better. Things are working out fine with his ankle surgery. I just haven't been able to really relax for the last six weeks. I am a serious worrier when it comes to loved ones. Doing the work of 2 people+ is exhausting as well. I'm not complaining, just seriously tired!!

    I'm hoping to get out of what feels like this weird holding pattern with respect to weight loss. I do feel my mojo coming back, lol. 🧡

    I'm curious. If I try to use a red heart on my laptop or desktop, it is black. So, I use orange hearts. Does anyone know why this happens?

    Good morning all.
    Check in for 9/21:
    Steps - 10488
    Calories - 2656. Ugh. Snacks again, but more are healthy ones. Just to many.
    Exercise - pickleball for 2 hrs. Only 2 breaks 10 minutes each. Lots of fun.

    I am off to go get my leg braces (last time they were not in so hopefully they will be in now ) so that I can feel more comfortable walking without falling (stupid ankle )

    I bet you have them in Canada!!

    Is it possible to have a Bingo game sometime in Downsizers' future? I would be happy to help!!😀

    I was just thinking about that the other day. I have a bunch here so I can combine them and post it for next week. If you have any ideas for squares let me know.

    Yes, I think I have a couple of ideas for squares. I'll send them to you no later than tomorrow. I just didn't want to add to your workload. I definite appreciate that you are willing to do it. Fun, fun, fun!!

    I'll keep in mind that you are at least 4 hrs. ahead of us in AK, I think.

    Feeling lucky not to have gained to be honest, dinner choices haven't been great this, week plus ive had chocolate. I think i did help myself though by keeping the portion sizes small and i took the stairs to the tower block at work almost every day instead of getting the lift and ive made my morning walk a bit longer. Hope you all have a great weekend, happy friday! 😊

    Good evening all.
    Check in:
    Steps - 13655
    Calories - 2400. Ate lunch out and selected tacos and diet coke. 580 cal. Good choice.
    Exercise - pickleball yet again 2 hours and walk for 30minutes.

    Tomorrow should be interesting. Getting another covid booster and flu shot. Luckily I don't have anything planned after that. Numbers are climbing again here and daughter's store has been hit hard. She is also going to Disneyland next week and doesn't want to bring it back to me.

    Here are just a few thoughts about Bingo:

    1) Pre-record at least one meal and stick to it. (I constantly change mine up, so I'm not sticking to it)
    2) Find a 100 calorie or less snack
    3) Add 1000 steps
    4) Try a new exercise or class
    5) Find 3 new things to be grateful (for)
    6) Climb a flight of stairs 2 steps at a time (walking). (I run stairs at home, but never 2 steps at once)
    7) Go to bed 30 minutes earlier than usual. (I am a night owl...)
    8) Get at least 8 hours of sleep 3x. (I feel lucky when I average 7 hours)
    9) Park in the furthest parking space you can find (hubs is in a walking boot, so I've used closest)
    10) Share a new inspirational quote. (I have some standbys that aren't new)
    11) Share an inspirational article or author
    12) Drink 8 glasses of water. (I tend to count coffee and tea in my liquid count...)
    13) Something random that changed your mood or made you smile today
    14) What motivated you today?
