I had set a goal to be under 150 by the end of September...and I think it will be the first week October with my tiny losses...but I am happy to have losses. I finally worked out yesterday and I feel it today! I planned to workout today, but Mabel had other ideas and snuggled with me just before my alarm went off.
@micki48 My oldest used to have to go sit with the director during nap time because she refused to lay there. She liked to walk around and pat the others backs.
@cupcakeCrusoe wow, that sounds like a lot of fun. Thats awesome that you put yourself out there like that.
@carolannM2 Congratulations on the new hip!!! I hope it makes a huge difference.
@conleywoods - that's awesome that you are keeping up with both your workouts and your macros. I feel like I can do one or the other!!!4 -

and the one person who is running a tad late -
@MsMcClane
Thanks!1 -
Just a reminder I'm back to being a Thursday person. I'm on the naughty list! You aren't going to want my weigh-in tomorrow, but I promise it has been coming down after it peaked
Unfortunately it peaked AFTER last Thursday, so it's still likely to look like a gain from last week.
I donated blood at lunch today, so that was my pass to do heavy exercise tonight. Instead, I made sure I got my 10,000 steps. After two days of fairly hard Peloton workouts in a row, my body probably appreciated that.
Brad should be home from his business trip within the hour! YAY!5 -
Hello and happy Wednesday 😊
I was up early to work out and get everyone off to school. Work was a paperwork day🤮 I did get to see one student for an evaluation and my paperwork time was very productive. Made it home and made dinner, lunches for tomorrow and gave the youngest a hair cut for picture day!
This morning during my workout my wellness coach was having us kneel on the floor and then stand up while alternate legs going from kneeling to standing and back to kneeling. I was really shocked 😲 to find I can't do that on one side! It was really weird and something I think I will do daily. I knew I had muscle imbalances but sheesh 😳. I think I will make an appointment with my doctor and get a referral to physical therapy. My mom and sister have similar issues with their hips. We have a few other similar things going on so makes me curious. My mom has a birth defect in her lower spine and I think we just assumed it was likely because her mom was 40 when she had her. I'm wondering if it may be inherited so want to check into it.
I'm really glad tomorrow is my Friday. I'm wore out and plan to get some rest on my day off. This Saturday my daughter has a cross country meet so we will be traveling. Yesterday was her first race ever and she is really motivated to improve this next race. Unfortunately I have to have her at the bus at 7AM🥺 The boys will stay with grandma so it will be a bit of a date day for my husband and I.3 -

Thursday weigh-in

*waves* I hope everyone is well
We're back from our holiday. I did enjoy it, but am missing much of the energy I had before we went. I fell ill on our last night (stomach issues, urgh) which combined with lack of sleep for two nights and left me drained, so I took an extra day off work yesterday and I'm feeling brighter.
I am still not ready to weigh in or count calories @jugar, but will stick on the support team as long as you'll have me!5 -

Yupp, vacation was really really good. It amazes me how quickly I can pack back on the weight the second I take my foot off. Clearly the daily tracking will never end. The nice thing is that my last bike race of the season is behind me, so I have several months to train and get ready - will be nice to be back in to the routine of daily Peloton rides.5 -
Happy Thursday - heading into Friday!
This has been a day of dramatic thunder and lightning, rain, crazy stream flow, the pond almost like some kind of whirlpool. Sadly the time I could have gone out for a walk (sun for the first time this week!) passed so fast and was followed by such violent rain, that I did not make my steps. Again. What a soggy week.
At least I have been practicing a lot, doing my new physio exercises which are helping a great deal, and keeping up with Pilates. Eating has been pretty good. Tonight I am starting my perusal of vegetarian and healthy restaurants in Toulouse (France) for my upcoming trip. I don't want to start my work period there
feeling bloated and dragged out, so I will be sure to cook for myself or eat in healthy places while I am in Toulouse before the working phase of the trip. Of course, after we wrap up, I might take another direction altogether! Luckily, we are doing our own food during the work period, and our host even has his godson there to cook for us to order. When I travel, I always stick to vegetarian food for the most part, with some fish. Not too much cheese and breadstuffs. But we all know I'll hit the gorgeous breads and pastries the minute our recording is finished!
Up to then (I leave the 12th of October), I'm trying to stick to the straight and narrow. October is my 10th anniversary of hitting more-or-less my goal weight. It has been a good 10 years, moving from fear to confidence. I love the feeling of strength, and the comfort of non-perfection. Finishing a workout, a meal, a day - sometimes it is really good, sometimes a bit meh, but keeping the balance is not too bad a way of life. You can all do this! Don't give up NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES.
There is the old lady advice for the day.
Big Friday list, here we come!

And hoping to hear from @MsMcClane - don't worry if it isn't perfect. Hang in there and let us know how you're doing no matter if it is not ideal. Your news is welcome!4 -
Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well. i've been having hip/back pain. It think it's sciatica from standing more than normal. Not my favorite.
Scale is not down still. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Still tired and glad tomorrow is Friday. Today was a long day with the kiddos.
More tomorrow.5 -
Hockey tonight was a bit disappointing. Our team is still learning each other so there's not much going on in the way of passing and play making, it's a lot more haphazard and messy. Still burned nearly 500 calories, and I earned 2 blisters and a bruise on my leg from trying out the "new" skates. They will suffice if my skates fall apart before Christmas, so that's all I really needed to confirm. Hopefully these blisters heal quickly.
Things on the reno and projet front are calming down. Only a few more things to get done before winter. Extra projects will depend on forecasts as rain and cold don't mix well with pouring cement retaining walls. I'm sure I will find rocks that need moving to keep me occupied. 🤣
I'm going to go have another glass of water and dream about a green weigh in tomorrow.
Night team!

Happy Friday - it's almost the weekend hurray!
On previous occasions I would skip a training session if it fell during my holiday, but this time I rearranged both, with the second being this morning, maintaining one each week. The bed in the hotel was too hard for me and trying to sleep on the plane did a number on my neck, so we focused on t-spine mobility and hip/glute activation. I came away feeling strong, like I'd had a full body wake up and everything-works-as-it-should. I never regret a workout! We've agreed our focus for the remainder of the year will be the overhead squat, as this will target t-spine, hips and glutes.
I've found my energy/good mood again this morning. I shall keep nurturing it! Today is my half work day (I finish in 15 minutes), but I have therapy mid-afternoon so I think I'll try and cram the admin tasks in beforehand, then late afternoon/evening is my own.5 -

Grrr. Annoying to see this number but I started my time of the month. Terrible timing and it also kind of messed with my inbody scan yesterday too. I'm holding an extra 2-3 lbs of water weight than my normal range. I did really well this week with no workouts skipped and hitting macros about 90% of the time. Can't wait to see the number next week.
Today is my day off and I just got everyone else off to work and school. I have a pile of laundry to tackle and the piggies need a cage cleaning. Luckily the rest of the house isn't too bad. I think my mother in law and I should have a little fun today as well. I think I will suggest some shopping before Costco and maybe lunch out.
My husband and I are thinking of staying in for date night and I will make chicken cordon blue 😋 Tomorrow my husband and I will be up early to get our daughter on the cross country team bus. We will drive to her meet and make a date out of it since the boys will be with grandma.5
