1/21 16,253 2hrs of hockey coaching + walking
1/22 10,772 30mins rowing + 25mins weights

My exercise and food intake has been going well so far this week. Fingers crossed that the scale will line up with that effort at weigh-in on Friday.5 -
@Pupowl nice puzzles, especially that Mona Lisa + cat puzzle! Those will be fun to put together. And you've done a lot of work to get your rain barrels set up. I see you also have some bee houses on your wall, what are the smaller boxes below them?3

@jessicakrall8 congrats on Betty, love hearing about her personality so far and can't wait to see some photos!3

I am having the hardest time remembering to check the group. I seem to remember each Wednesday for weigh in though. I'm not trying to be an absent team member. Just forgetful team member. Haha!
Life has been very life-y for me. My goal is to be more active here, and remember to log each day. I am finally recovering from a 4 week ear infection! Also really working on my mental health. I have depression and anxiety but we've never really been able to consider my depression controlled, so we've recently decreased that med and added a mood stabilizer as my psychiatrist thinks I may be more Bipolar vs depression. I put this out here to share because my hope is that I will use this to help me stay accountable for my actions and not use it as an excuse.
We also celebrated my oldest kiddos 10th birthday this weekend! I did have a slight gain this week but very much feel it's water weight/swelling due to my food choices Friday through Saturday. Blood sugars kicked up too and had been super controlled. So now it's time to pick up and move forward and not beat myself up for my choices during a time of celebration. I just need to remind myself the food portion of the celebration is done.

@pedal__power Yeah, it's a nice 'problem' to have: not knowing what puzzle to start next because they are all awesome. All the boxes on the wall are for the bees! Sadly, they have barely used the smaller ones, so I might replace them this summer. The tunnels in two bigger ones are almost entirely full. 4

@CasandraW
If you’re hitting Chinatown in NYC, everything is good, but the Golden Unicorn (18 East Broadway) is *chef’s kiss*. Since you’ll be in the Times Square area, John’s Pizza is still the best in the City, and Carmine’s is great for family-style Italian. If you’re on the East Side, The Smith (there are several locations) is great for lunch or dinner. On the West Side, The Mermaid Inn is absolutely amazing for fish, lobster, etc. walking around the City is a foodie paradise; you’ll be sure to find something you love!!2 -
@jessicakrall8 , I'm ready to see some photos of Betty. I bet she's a gorgeous girl1

@nancyinmo Thank you so much for the suggestions, I'm going to check them out. I'm excited to try out the Golden Unicorn

If you haven’t done it already, I really recommend walking the High Line in Manhattan. It’s built on an old elevated rail line. I know you’ll get plenty of steps in NYC, but this is a nice oasis in a concrete jungle.

@Lynniebinny76 Sounds like you've been dealing with a lot, both positive and negative. So sorry about the ear infection...they're horrible and 4 weeks, wow! New meds are hard to balance too...don't beat yourself up, but I will add that the more you participate, the more you get as far as support. Perhaps you should join us for the weekly Group Challenges? I always post the links on Saturday afternoons and they start on Sundays. This ones is fun and we may run it another week because everyone seems to enjoy it. Will announce that on Saturday is we decide to...Hang in there!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday...I'm ready for my weekend...next week, I'm off Wed-Fri and the weekend of course, for my birthday...not ready to be older but the time off is really nice!
Anyone have great plans for goals for February...I've been working on my eating and I'm already only 1.5 miles away from hitting my 38 mile goal for January! Want to increase my walking, but with Feb a short month, can't go too crazy. I'm working on that regular challenge and two others, so it should be nice. Perhaps I'll try for 40 miles. What are your plans for the month?

@jessicakrall8 such a cutie!!!
I’ve been working on my eating this week and plan to continue it until the end of February. I found I felt awful after eating a bunch of sugary snacks on the weekend. So, I’ve decided to decrease my sugars and carbs and focus on increasing my fats and proteins.4 -

She is adorable and looks like she has made herself right at home already! My mum has just rescued an Egyptian Baladi dog. He is 2 years old and came from Egypt to the UK when he was just a pup. I’ll share some photos when he arrives on Sunday 🐕

@Yukie_OP I had your PW as 137.4. Is that correct and perhaps you forgot? Two weeks ago, I had 140. Let me know if there have been errors.

*We've had inclement weather and i didn't do much walking Sun-Tues, as noted. Yesterday evening was also bad but I resolved to hop on the treadmill to get my steps in.3 -
Yes @cre804 and @CasandraW I second the recommendation to walk along the High Line. I have friends who live in NYC, and always enjoy those walks, as long as we dress for the weather.
Congratulations @jessicakrall8 and welcome to Betty! — just in time to celebrate your birthday!3 -
My God, what a cutie. Welcome to the team, Betty 😅🐈
Congratulations and may you make wonderful memories together @jessicakrall83 -

Thanks for remembering @PatriceFitnessPal ...I started a little fundraiser to help the rescue that led me to her on Facebook...so if anyone has a dollar or two...send me a message and I'll send you the link! No pressure! Anyone with pets knows how much emergency vet care costs...that's where it will go...
