    Dear moderators, dear @jessicakrall8 and @Pupowl may I please be excused from this week‘s weigh-in? I am on a short trip in Rome with my husband and there’s no scale in site at the apartment we booked.

    @bumbinella I've marked you as EXC. Have a blast!

    Happy Monday everyone. Hope everyone had a great Mother's day and for those who don't have kids, Happy Pet Mother's day to you too.

    We had a lovely weekend out here in the East with cooler than normal temperatures which made for a love Spring weekend. Saturday, we headed to see our soccer team, DC United, play against New Orleans. It was a tie game and very exciting nonetheless. I kept to a 2 drink minimum (Heinken silver - a low carb beer) and had some nacho along with some protein, all within my calories.

    Sunday, my sister came into town and had a picnic with my mom and some other family Members. Picnic food sure adds up even when healthy items around. DH and I went for short walk after.

    Goals for the week: eat less salt today and keep to my protein macros. Drink lots of water since tomorrow is weigh-in day and I have a feeling I didn't lose any weight.

    Pic of the day: Miss Luna tucking herself under the covers then falling asleep shortly after.

    Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was a bit of an errand day. I went to the vet when they opened at 9:00 to see what they could do for Tinus since we had the appointment so late. They had a spot for us at 11:00 instead which was really nice. We decided not to take pictures of his leg for now, because not everything will show up, and regardless of what it is, we would start with painkillers anyway. So I have to give him the medication for 2 weeks and then go down to half the dose. If the limping doesn't go away, it is likely a chronic issue and he will have to be on painmeds permanently. I really hope we aren't there yet though.
    After the vet I got some groceries and I did some more cleaning. In the evening I got two new bird books which look fun and a camera harness I am really excited about. My camera is around 1,5 kilos and it is not very nice to have that weight around your neck. I get sore a lot. With the harness it feels so much nicer to carry around. I won't go for a walk today, but I think I get to test it out tomorrow when my mom is here.
    Today I need to mow the front yard, vacuum the house, mop and clean the bathroom, yay...
    Happy Tuesday everyone <3

    You come up with a cool/funky name for your team, you record your steps everyday. It's a fun way to challenge yourself and stay accountable.
    I would like to join, but I'm missing my other half of the partnership, would anyone be interested in joining in this Challenge? I try to walk 10,000 steps each day
    Have a great day everyone

    It's weigh in day for me.

    DCResider
    Weigh in: Tuesday (beginning weight: 161 lbs.)
    PW: 158.8 lbs. (5.2.23), -2.2 lbs.
    CW: 159.9 (5.9.23), +1.1 lbs.
    CW: 158.6 (5.16.23), -1.3 lbs

    On a good note, I still went down even though I had 3 outings this past week. I guess these macros are working for me so hurray. Now, if I can keep going down

    Goals: No changes to macros so will use the same calories and protein intake, drink lots of water, cut down salt, get at least 4-5 workouts in this week. (Note: Beginning weight 161 lbs.)

    I have a lot of water stuck in my muscles so not really sure what I actually weigh. I'm really sore! Trying to yoga out the rougher spots.

    Changing my focus this week to getting rid of sugar. Fasting every other day (no food!) is easier for me then giving up / avoiding sugar. When I do get rid of sugar, I feel so much better. For me it's a genuine addiction. I haven't decided if I'm fasting this week - I made BAD food decisions on my non-fasting days. I'm not hungry for fruit and veggies after not eating for 24 hours.

    I made a great pot of pinto beans this week! I order in organic US grown pinto beans, soak for 24 hours changing out the water a couple of times (If I remember). I then put them in the Instapot for an hour with about an inch of water on top. I salt and season at the end, salting during cooking is supposed to give a 'hard bean' and not a good texture. I put some vinegar, hot sauce, onion and serve it over rice. It's pretty economical. The long soak in changed water and the instapot helps to de-gas the beans. This meal keeps me really full and it's great Vegan, albeit being Southern I miss a bit of ham or sausage in there if I'm being honest.

    Cheers - Happy Tuesday everyone!

    @JenHul -- I'll be your walking step partner if you like ... if you've watched the Tom Baker Doctor Who episodes that is! haha (Since you have a 'TARDIS' as a profile pic :smiley: j/k) I have a fitbit and am needing to wear it more often anyway. I do an evening walk of two miles, but usually rack up some steps during the day also.

    Our team would need to have an appropriate Whovian funky name though I think :D

    @Itadakimasu7 Yes! Hello fellow Whovian, I will be your partner, how about "Galefrey Gals" or "Wibbly Wobbly Walkers" David Tennant was my fave Doctor, but I have watched them all!

    All the talk about step counters has me considering getting one again. I can't do the wearable smart watches, I have delicate skin and don't seem to tolerate them well. I had one that I would slip in my pocket, but haven't replaced it after I washed it about a year ago.

    @Sbus12 - way to go getting your steps in to improve your mood!

    @Eahrenee - hope you are feeling better today.

    @dcresider - love the picture of Luna

    Today was a pretty good day. It started off with me being unable to sleep just before 4am, so I got up and swam for 35 minutes at my gym prior to my yoga class. After yoga, I did a 20 minute walk/run then a 40 minute walk. Next was tai chi at 9am, but I only did the first 40 minutes. Then I headed back to my gym to sun for a while by the outdoor pool prior to an 11am water aerobics class.
    Skipped breakfast as I usually do prior to yoga, so I had a Lenny's and Larry's protein cookie poolside at around 10am. My lunch was the last of some homemade chili. I'll probably have a protein bar or protein shake later, and hopefully this evening I'll be able to limit myself to only a small dessert.

    @Itadakimasu7 Your PW was 185.6 last week. Was that incorrect?
