Greetings Friends!
Just hopping on before getting totally embroiled with my day, with my first coffee of the day. @LoraineGB so excited for you having your mother staying with you for a month. I bet you can't wait 😏
You've inspired me, @ashleycarole86, with your focus on pushups. I can only manage 5 pushups with good form and I would love to be able to do 10. I should practice every day - why on earth didn't I think of that before? Thanks Ashley! Enjoy your trip with Brad!
Enjoy your Thursday ❤4 -
Of course you might not feel like it, because the congestion causes tiredness - don't we love how user friendly the human body can be at times???
Wait, congestion causes tiredness?! That explains so much!
I am glad you're on the mend @JEB03253, and I hope you're fully recovered soon.
@LoraineGB as long as you've made the right decision for you, that's what matters. Renting sounds sensible to me, especially if it's only for a couple more years. Good luck with the move!3 -
Wow! Great moving story @LoraineGB - if you have a photo of that stone house, I'd love to see it. The Hubble connection, even if a bit imaginative, is fabulous. I'm glad you finally found some people who didn't find the house "too" anything but irresistible.
@EvMakesChanges Have a fantastic 65th, sister mine! I'll talk to you later and see you Saturday
Another beautiful day so far here in Maine - it is fun to be able to walk along the shore and smell that lovely sea air.6 -
Happy 65th @EvMakesChanges .. enjoy the celebration!
@LoraineGB Your moving stories have been intriguing.. wishing you a successful exit of the home and I hope your rental will be a comfortable place to hang your hat while you figure out the next steps.
@YinxFed Great goal and one I'm certain you'll achieve if that's where you put your energy. Looking forward to hearing about when you nail it!
Greetings from Kamloops, BC! My goodness we live in a beautiful country.6 -

Thursday weigh-in
Goal Zone
Maintenance range 160-165
CW 167
Week 1 out of range
Well, it's going to be tough not to find myself back on the regular team for the second half of this month since the bulk of my vacation is yet to come.
I'll do my best. As this is a driving trip I have my scale with me at least so it doesn't turn into one massive surprise at the end7 -
The last official weigh-in I had for you was 239.6 so you are actually down 0.2 since then! Amazing how we can erase birthday cake...
I love magic! I'm Jean from central New Hampshire. I'm a Type 2 diabetic and trying to keep my A1c within the normal range.
@EvMakesChanges happy birthday!

Yupp, vacation time again. 2 days from Vancouver to Whistler Gran Fondo. So excited. Will post photos.7 -
@EvMakesChanges Happy Birthday!
@bowens1973 Wishing you both safe travels and perfect conditions for your ride
@jugar as soon as I can upload some photos to my laptop, I will put a photo or two of the house up. I can't do it from my phone
The movers are booked and scheduled to pack on 22nd and move us on 23rd. Until that time, I am going through all the cupboards and closets and putting items on the donate, sell and dump trailer pile.

Popping to say hi 👋🏼. I’ve been reading the posts, but did not post as I fell asleep lol 😂 Today I was so tired after we sent those 16 little ones home, I wondered if I could even walk to my car. I know beginning of the year tired is a special kind of tired, but Wew! This is incredible. Hope it eases as I get used to it. Positive note — my steps are well over 10k before I got home. Today, we had one pee pee accident, one bloody nose, two splinters, 4 bandaides, and one wailing little boy when he saw me putting out the cots for nap time. (He was asleep first! ) PreK sure is an adventure. Oh and my son in law took my beautiful lunch salad I had prepared the night before. Daughter made him come home and give it back. 😂 🤭
Happy 65th birthday 🎂 🎉🎈@EvMakesChanges! Wishing you all the best as you celebrate you!
@bowens1973 Good luck on your race! Have a great time.
@LoraineGB Best wishes on your closing and move.
Food is logged. Steps ✅ Water 💦 👌🏼 That’s all I’ve got. ✌🏻3 -
Hi all! It has been a good day of dadsitting. Got him sweeping the back deck, sorting puzzle pieces, and all kinds of chores, but then I took him out for Dairy Queen

Good morning WaistAways!
PW: 180.8
CW: 182.4
So sorry I've been so absent! It's been so busy around here, what with the first week of school, preparation for my performance in front of my gym (it's TODAY! wish me luck!), Whatsisface got his updated booster and was under the weather, I'm getting mine on Sunday, I'm preparing everything for going to Disney, work has been busy, my period is about to start so I'm really bloated, just TOO MANY THINGS!
So this weigh in is not a surprise- I haven't been dedicating the time and effort necessary to log 100% accurately.
One perfect day. My breakfast and lunch for work is packed, tonight will be pizza and wine with the girls at the gym after performance, and we're just going to have a good time. After tonight, I'm going to try to check in more often here, as it really does help.
Have a great day, everyone!4 -
CW 190.6.
I continue to creep in the wrong direction. I'm hopeful that by next week the majority of the reno's and hard work will be done and I can rededicate time and energy to proper meal planning.
'what's for supper' has got to be one of the worst phrases ever invented.
Its even worse when you're elbows deep in a messy project, there's nothing quick to grab, and the team members begin to take out their 'hangry' on each other. Fodder for the couples therapist 😉😂
I will endeavour to do better!5 -

I’ll take it. It’s a fair reflection of my week. One thing I love about Fridays it’s a reset day (for me), I haven’t quite got the hang of resetting on any day of the week, it always seems to hang on until weigh in day.
@PlaneMonkey your post made me smile, especially ‘what’s for supper?’, which is our house is ‘what’s for tea?’ And usually starts being asked after, if not whilst, still eating breakfast! 🫣😆
@jugar I haven’t done well with my habit tracker choices, is it ok to change a couple of them please?

@LoraineGB Moving is a great excuse for purging for sure. I know when @micki48 recently moved her step count was way up as she led into it from all the packing up and sorting and stuff. It will be a busy time and especially with such a quick turnaround - we'll be here waiting for you at the end of long days
@PlaneMonkey Yes, what's for supper is a terrible question, I agree.. why is one silly question SO hard?
@micki48 What a fun but exhausting time that must be. As someone who has no kids nor any real experience with them, the description of the day made me tired just reading it. You and all the teaching staff in this group do such amazing work.
Greetings from Vancouver! Had a nice dinner out last night. I like traveling with the scale because I can directly witness the effects of my actions. It's not really changing my behavior much though. Wasn't sure if it would or not. I'm just enjoying myself with the confidence I can get back on track when I get home. Not sure if that's the best overall strategy, but it's what I'm doing.
Movement was super low yesterday between the drive and late arrival, and then we finished watching the Bills home opener before we went out for dinner, and while we walked to the restaurant, it wasn't super far away. Today will be better - Brad wants to take the bikes for a short spin just to turn his legs before the race (I brought mine too so we can toodle around next week), and we'll walk more.

You can change your habit tracker choices any time, as often as you want. Always good not to stick with things that are not working.2 -
@CupcakeCrusoe have a great time tonight! You will wow them, I'm sure 4

I’m pretty sure I’m starting my period today or tomorrow so that might be a piece but my PW was from Thursday (9/1) and my parents were here over the weekend and I wasn’t tracking or anything and so I’m sure I was up from that and that time of the month too! It’s ok, I’m on track and have been doing great since Tuesday! We hav already planned meals for the weekend at home!4 -
