Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was still a bad weather day. Super windy, some hail, lots of rain, tiny bit of sun. It was giving me whiplash. I did some laundry and ate too much. I was feeling uncomfortably full in the evening, but I did not want to make the bad day even worse by skipping my workout. I found a new YTchannel a while back called Improved Health. She does walk at home, full body workouts, and dances. It is a bit similar to Dance with Deepti I am already familiar with, but it seemed a bit easier to follow. So I decided to give one a try since I wasn't feeling good. I really enjoyed the workout, as much as I can enjoy one since I hate sweating. But the structure of the workout was really nice, there are timers for each steps, there is an overall progress bar for the whole workout and there was a nice variety of movements. Compared to DwD, the steps were a little more chill, but I still got my heartrate up. I also didn't need to modify anything which felt good. DwD sometimes has jumping which I am just refusing with my current boobsize, ouch! I did this workout for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/uy-dAphXVng Happy Monday everyone

Hello all!
I had a great half-marathon with my daughter! It ended up being very warm and humid conditions for a race, but we stuck together and held hands as we crossed the finish!
My daughter was hoping for a 2:15 finish and we finished in 2:21, but it was still 9 minutes faster than her last one. I felt great the whole time and was able to encourage her at the end when she wanted to walk. My heart rate averaged 150, never above 159, so it felt easy. This is significantly less than my past two marathons, so it was a real confidence booster.
My right heel is hurting today, but otherwise feel good. I'm not sure if its from striking my foot differently because I rolled my ankle last week, or if its the beginnings of plantar fasciitis, which I've had before. I'll stick to biking and use a sleep splint for a few days and hope it resolves.
I travel back to Colorado tomorrow, and then to Bloomington on Friday to visit my son. We will be in Ft. Collins at the university for advice on Buddy's latest tumor after that so I have quite a bit of travel still to go this month. Will do my best to stay on track!5 -

Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday I wrote 4 postcards for postcrossing; two to Germany, one to Japan and one to Russia. I took the bike again to the mailbox because it was raining. On the way home I got a new toothpaste for Tinus at the vet and made an appointment with the groomer for next week. I was feeling a little depressed, hopefully today is better. Happy Tuesday everyone 4 -
Good morning everyone!
Heading back to Colorado today. At the airport now and so far everything is going smoothly. Thursday we head out to Bloomington to visit our son after dropping off the dogs with our daughter. We will meet with the vets on Wednesday to decide if we are going to proceed with Buddy’s surgery. So I’ll be away from home at least until next Thursday. It’s not the easiest for sticking to calories, but honestly I’m feeling pretty motivated after my race this weekend that I’m hoping I’ll stay pretty close.3 -
@SavageMrsMoose Enjoy Bloomington! I’ll be there in a few weeks myself visiting my daughter!1

Gm yall. Tomorrow I have to do a liquid diet for the colonoscopy on Thursday. I wonder how much weight I'll lose doing it 🤔. This should be fun right? NOT.....6

This past week has been a very hard week for me emotionally. We had 3 funerals to go to over the weekend, and on Sunday my nieces fiancé was tragically killed in a car accident . I'm honestly just numb now, and have not been tracking food, or going for walks. I have to learn from this week and keep moving forward, enjoy life as much as possible, because it is so precious and we never know how long we get with our loved ones.7 -
@Armygirlarmyof1 thinking of you. Necessary but not fun. Best part is when it’s over!!!2

We spent the weekend in west Texas. Did a lot of work at the ranch. We had an issue with the tractor not wanting to start, but after we charged the battery, we were able to shred the roads and do a bit of clean up. Jason is enjoying his classes this semester, I think his favorite is going to be History of Rock and Roll.
@JenHul - Sending you hugs.
@Armygirlarmyof1 - the prep is the hardest part. Wishing you a positive result.
@SavageMrsMoose - awesome job on the race.

I wasn't sure if you needed me to weigh in, you said you would let the mod know and you give them some time and I didn't see amything from you if I was good to go or not! Do you want me to weigh in for this week?1 -
Ty @Savagemsmoose, I ended up canceling. I've had sinus issues for 3 days now and just started some meds. The headache has finally easing but the congestion can go now. I moved it up 1 week.
@nancyinmo , gl with your move back to the coast gf.3 -
@TexanMom8152 , ty. I had to move it up 1 week. Sinus issues for 3 days.1

@TexanMom8152 , where at in Texas are you? I loved living in Texas but moved back to Missouri in 2017 because of my daughter and her family. I lived in west Texas in a little town in the middle of nowhere called Ft. Stockton, 90 s of midland and Odessa1

I haven’t had a chance to add as much support and encouragement as I would have liked this week. My apologies!
@TexanMom8152 - It sounds as though you worked hard on the ranch in west Texas. I’m guessing that burns some serious calories. You’re resourceful, too, in solving problems and changing batteries, etc. — rock on!
@JenHul - How tragic! I’m so sorry to hear the news about all the grief and loss you’ve been experiencing. I appreciate your reminder to make the best of each day. I was feeling a little sorry for myself because of some difficult family circumstances today and your comment helped me gain perspective.
@ewilhelm2487 - I’m glad you’re feeling better. You had quite the ordeal, with that tough series of health concerns. Welcome back!
@Armygirlarmyof1 - The extra days focusing on a low-fiber diet will probably be helpful. My second screening was so much better than my first one because I didn’t realize I should start the clear liquid diet and other preparation a week before the procedure. The first time, I just started the diet changes the day before the colonoscopy, and had an afternoon appointment. Now, I prefer a morning procedure and start drinking clear liquids and eating low-fiber foods much earlier. It’s the deepest rest I ever get though! 😴
Congratulations to you and your daughter @SavageMrsMoose on completing the half marathon. What an achievement!
I see a lot of other success — getting through a tough day or week, disruption to usual schedules due to travel, etc.! Hurray for overcoming obstacles and sticking with it despite challenges.
Great work, steppers! The Shape Shifter team members are always inspiring.4 -

I hope your colonoscopy goes well. My dad needed to have two of them recently and the liquid you need to drink is no fun! Best of luck for Thursday

🗓 Daily Check-in: 17 Jan
Under by around 100 calories today. I feel like I’m getting a cold, and I am hoping it doesn’t turn into a sinus infection again, as my last one was awful. I’ve been getting a bit more steps in recently (not a lot, but it’s something
). I recently found out that i “likely” have PCOS, and will find out for sure soon, but that’s one more reason to lose this excess weight!
