Thinking of you and your family as you navigate today's service and honor your brother's life
Today Brad has a work event at Spruce Meadows so we will be there watching the horse jumping, eating, and drinking. I'll try to behave!

Has anyone used the zenlabs C25K app? I wasn't sure how accurate the gps/distance tracking is on it. Tuesday, it calculated my pace to be 4.1mph which was decently accurate because I was still recovering from being sick and I felt slow. Then today it calculated my average pace at 5.4mph and that just seems very fast for me 🤷🏼♀️2 -
Weigh-in
Username: project_shan
Weigh-in day: Sunday
HW: 188.0
PW: 161.4
CW: 161.2
Steps: Jun 11-17@ashleycarole86 Please can I change my step goal to 6500 for the rest of the month? No worries if not.
A tiny loss but I'll take it. I didn't track my food, fast or exercise intentionally this week, but I do think I made better choices than I would have in the past. The last week of school is always tough with people leaving, and a general change in routine. But, I'm not going to let one week off track turn into two, so grocery shopping and meal prep today and back to logging and fasting tomorrow.
@jugar I may weigh-in late next week. I am travelling so it depends if we decide to come back on Sunday or Monday. I hope that's ok.
I hope everyone has a lovely week.4 -

@jugar CW 189.8
It’s certainly been a busy time and I’m looking forward to calming that pattern down now. We’ll see how it goes!
Have a great Sunday.

This is interesting - I read a book last year called The End of Craving that discussed the repercussions of "enriched" flour. Adding vitamins and minerals changes the way it is absorbed by the body and the author gave a lot of interesting examples showing that it can cause overeating. Fresh ground always tastes amazing too - we'll be over soon to try your breadI’ve been reading about the health benefits of baking with freshly ground wheat berries. Since we live in the country I’m always on the look out for things I can do if we lose power for days (I’m a planner!) so we bought a grain mill (hand crank of course) and some organic Einkorn which is an ancient grain - so I’ve been making bread and healthy muffins this week. I do think I’m feeling better too since we are getting all the health benefits out of the organic einkorn! The muffins I made with hard and soft organic wheat flour and added some plain kefir for the sourdough flavor - oh my goodness SO good!! I also love that I’m buying less and less from the grocery store! We will see how next week goes and how I’m physically feeling 🍞

Sorry it's late again.
I was so nauseated yesterday. We had to go out and shop for flowers for my daughter's wedding in August. I have volunteered to make all of them.
We also had to go get bed pillows since the looks on the dogs' faces was like they were just minding their own business and BOOM! The pillows spontaneously combusted.
By the time we got home, I was spent. So I fell asleep.
I'm still recuperating for an exhausting week of resetting all of the feed racks at work.4 -

I would love all of you to come over and have a feast of freshly milled bread and muffins! I haven’t gone as far as making cookies as I feel they are too indulgent and would likely eat too many ☺️
I’m going to look for The End of Craving. I’ve been listening to Bread Beckers podcasts and watching their YouTube shows. She’s from the Bible Belt of Southern US, so just say I warned you she loves her bible quotes 🙃 BUT the information she presents is amazing!!

Mom and I had two fantastic days at the BBC Gardeners World Live event. We got to see Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh from a distance. We also had entry to the BBC Good Food Live event, though that was less interesting and we were really there for the plants. I dread to think how much I have spent; I came home with two new orchids, two salvia (I didn't realise there were so many varieties, and they seem to love our garden) three sarracenia (carnivorous plants), three cucumber plants and a cucamelon plant as only one of my seedlings has survived the heat, plus a bottle of ginger mead and some garlic biltong, both for OH. We've eaten out a lot but it's not been excessive and there was plenty of
Oh my goodness such a fun day! We watch Gardeners World over here in the US ☺️ My family is originally from the UK and it’s definitely in my genes! My husband gets so annoyed when I take control of the remote and he’s stuck watching murder mysteries most evening! But he does like Antiques Roadshow with Fiona ☺️

@pearl4686 and @wdalzell5401 amazing loss this week.

@ashleycarole86 - Spruce Meadows watching horse jumping would be a fun day.

@cleaneater80 It was a very cool event. We ended up staying basically the whole day so it was a sedentary day. We also got hangry and ordered pizza when we got home. But, I was DD so I didn't have much to drink. Today will be a better day.
Thanks for all the week 2 steps that are rolling in. I haven't generated the week 1 report yet so I may just wait and do week 1 and 2 together... but it will be posted, promise!
@project_shan Absolutely, you set your own target so I'll change it to 6.5K from week 3 onwards!3 -

Mom and I are done here in Ohio now, and will be flying back to Charlotte today. It was good to be here with friends and family to give my brother a good send-off. We loved talking with the people who knew him at work and as neighbours and friends.
Enjoy your Monday!3 -

@jugar have a safe flight today! We are having some crazy weather here!
My week overall has been good. I am excited for the weigh in tomorrow. Although I did have 2 pieces of cake yesterday celebrating the hubbies birthday (it is Thursday so more to come too).
Summer always seems to have something going on. My birthday, mothers day, fathers day, hubbies birthday, july 4, vacations, etc.3 -
Pw 108.3

It was an ok week. I didn’t really have time to cook much this week. Let’s see how the next weigh in goes. I am thinking of getting into keto again for a few weeks. Still thinking about it. This week I’ll attempt to walk a bit more and drink water.3 -
Thurs weigh in was 174, up a few ounces....but holding somewhat steady - sorry for the very late reporting.2

Monday's been a busy one - we made it back to Charlotte all right, but then there were tons of flights cancelled and delayed with a big series of storms, and then tornado warnings! We got here just in time, it seems. I hope it all calms down by morning when I have to go back to the airport to fly to Montréal. It will feel good to get home. Especially to drink good coffee again
I hope to get up early enough tomorrow for a good gym session before leaving. I did not have much exercise today, aside from lots of airport corridors. I will do my best to get some kind of workout done.
SO I hope you are all doing well - and here is the update for tonight:

No loss this week but I did get a good workout in yesterday and feel like the little slump I'm in is clearing. Where did June go?2 -
I had a body scan done today and it is amazing what that shows. I have been super frustrated because in the last 2 months I have lost 6 pounds (and that was in the first week). Well the scan showed that in the last 2 months I have lost 16 pounds of fat and put on 10 pounds of muscle! That makes me feel better about my hard work I have been doing!5

Good evening Waistaways 😊
I'm so sorry but my weigh in is a gain 😢
CW 230.9 lbs
I'll try again next week ❤️4 -
@jugar Late weigh in. Really late. I thought for sure I posted it on Friday. Apparently not.
PW 206
CW 205.8 on Friday
Sorry about that. I actually weighed even less on Saturday but didn’t post it because I thought I already had. Maybe I’ll have a loss this week. Took a little walk tonight. Only about 20 minutes but that better than nothing which it’s been. Baby steps.
Right now I need a drink of water. Do you? 💦
We don’t have babysitting duties this week so we are trying to do some things like day trips. So far, we’ve done errands and taken the cat to the vet. We thought she was a goner on Friday but she rallied and was doing somewhat better today. Blood tests and $400 later we will chat with the vet about next steps with her. She’s 16.
My new yard is so pleasant. Just the layout and privacy. No garden really. Couldn’t manage it this year. But I do need to get some tomato plants in the ground. Nice just the same.
Glad you got home ok Liselyn. Great loss @PlaneMonkey!!! @KellyBgetsfit so glad to hear you feel great. That is wonderful.2 -

So cool about your body scan and gaining 10 pounds of muscle! That is awesome. What kind of scan was it?1 -
