1lb on this week. My 4 day cycling weekend was full of rocky road, tiffin and biscuits. But also 130 miles cycled and being v careful this week.
My lovely friends baked and brought the sugary goodies and one piece led to another. I had alcohol as well, which I don’t usually do, and didn’t particularly enjoy. So lesson learned!
I’m on another weekend away cycling, hence the early weigh in, but I will stay away from the sugar, and definitely no alcohol!
Have a great weekend everybody!!

Happy September, everyone! I just love this time of year!
I have logged my food for four of the last five days, and the scale says I am three pounds lighter because of it! I have been at work three times this week (for about 3 hours each time) and that has helped give me some more step calories without overdoing it. Going for intentional walks causes too much throbbing in the leg and knee. I do need to find some exercises that I can do; maybe more strength and stretching based for now. Maybe I could start doing some mini walks to build up endurance? I really don't know; I am just guessing at this point. My MRI isn't until early December. Today I take my 88 year old father to renew his driver's license. I fear it will not go well. He hardly drives at all anymore, but he drives fine when he does. He only goes places that he knows and they are usually close to home. Today's tests don't involve actual driving. It is the cognitive test I fear he will not pass.0 -

Hi Linda, last year i ran a mini challenge to lose 21lb by Christmas (its about 21 weeks). I'm happy to do something similar again if you think some of the team would be motivated by it? Let me know
That would be great. It might be the push I need to get these last 10 to 15 pounds off.
Nice loss!SW - 630

Dropped 1.8 lbs - I will take it! My body is going to make me slow crawl to that new century lol
Congrats on the loss! In a few weeks you will be in that new century.alexhomeandcoffee wrote: »Hi guys!

Enjoy your weekend. I think with the changes you should see a difference on the scale.Happy September, everyone! I just love this time of year!

I am a big fan of mini walks. I try to do them a couple times a week. You live in Canada right? Wait times for everything sucks. It’s hard on the parent once they lose the independence of driving. My Mom lost hers a few years ago and it was tough on her.alexhomeandcoffee wrote: »Good morning & happy Friday

I will weigh in tomorrow. I am about to head to the pool. My sleep has been off for a couple of days so I am not very energetic. Hopefully, once I get in the pool I will get a burst.

Friday Weigh-In
PW: 216
CW: 217.1 ~i'm turning this around. I actually was 217.6 on Thursday so I'm coming back down.
I put together a meal plan and started following it the last few days. I had just gotten so off track, not necessarily poor eating but over my limit. My exercise has been steady but I think I need to ramp it up a bit. Things are coming back together and I feel less sad and less stressed.
Step Challenge - Goal 8,500
8/27 - 17,232
8/28 - 3,961
8/29 - 9,080
8/30 - 8,398
so close
8/31 - 9,193
9/1
9/2
@Slimmersixties ~ I would join your mini challenge
@Nachdeezy ~ Slow crawl is good. You are getting there! Keep up the good work!
@alexhomeandcoffee ~ Welcome to the group.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!!

Very unusual week. I gained 3.6 lbs in a single day earlier in the week and I don't recall anything I did as out of the ordinary (other than some awful sleep patterns) but it put me back into the 240's so I'll just have to keep pushing ahead. Needless to say, I took my usual walk at 5:30 am for 40 min before breakfast, shower and work. Monday is a holiday so maybe we'll change it up with Susan and go on a bike ride and stop at one of the wineries for lunch - and a glass (or two).1 -
