Worked from the office. Sat at the desk for 8ish hours. I had two phone calls in the evening and I sat for most of them (30 minutes and 1 hour 10 minutes). It was rainy day by me. Went to bed earlier than usual and closer to my preferred bedtime. Ended up only getting 8 minutes of deep sleep. I woke up at 4 am. I could have stayed up and went to the gym. I went to back to sleep. While it was glorious rest, next time I will be on my way to the gym or a neighborhood jog with the pup Hazel.3 -

Good morning Shape Shifters. I wasn't able to go for a walk. It was super windy and raining most of the day. I set up the new hedgehog basket with food inside. There isn't enough leaf litter around, so I just used mowed grass to cover it up for now and plastic bags to keep it dry inside. I will check and replace the food this evening. They have a good sense of smell, so hopefully they found it. I got a really fun package delivered later in the day. There was a cute mushroom light I had been eying for a while, and now I saw it was on sale. And then I saw a really funny hippo lamp on sale and an adorable mug with a mushroom cap as a lid. I also got some incense and two small bowls for the hedgehog food. It was such a happy package to open! I still had a color changing ledlight for the hippo and I think it is hilarious. My mom also liked the mushroom lamp, so she said she will go visit the store today. I am curious to see what she ends up getting. The rest of the day I relaxed and played World of Warcraft. Happy Wednesday everyone

Hello Shape Sifters!
Yesterday was a windy day so the river water was rough. Our single sculling group (one person, 2 oars) wasn’t able to row, but our ‘sweep’ group of eight rowers (each person with one oar), and a coxswain steering the boat, was able to practice.
The water was still rough, even in the bigger boat, so some of the rowers thought the coach made a bad decision to launch on the river. I felt safe and thought the boat was stable, considering the conditions. So, I was glad to workout on the river, instead of indoors on the erg machines. It’s more fun for me when we are outside with the natural surroundings of birds, etc.
I was within my calories for the day. My macros were a bit heavy on carbs, but not terrible. I’m going to start using the Habit Tracker more consistently in October but I think I’ll start using the September tracker now so I can build the habit. I’m going to create some aspirations or mantras around each of the habits to help me shift my mindset in positive ways.
Thanks for the ideas you all provoked during recent discussions. I’ll share the aspirations I come up with later this week. Today, I have a number of tasks to complete for work so I’m going to get to them! I hope you all have a good day!4 -
Positive thinking is so important for us all! Make a SMART goal today and see how it feels to accomplish it.
I will drink 64oz of water today by dinner time.
I will walk 30 minutes during my lunch hour.

I am unclear as to this is where to post my weights...can someone confirm?
Thanks~Hopfully next week will be more successful!1 -
I am so out of shape! I worked out last night, nothing wild and crazy, just a short ride on my stationary bike. This morning, the back and side of my right knee is very sore. I assume when I stood up on the pedals, I did something I shouldn't have. It didn't hurt last night, so I'm not sure when it happened. I laughed this morning that I finally pushed myself to work out, and I hurt myself! I won't use it as an excuse to do nothing, though. I can lift weights for my upper body and maybe some low-impact cardio, depending how my knee feels this evening.3

Wednesday Weigh In
PW: 137.0
CW: 136.4
Loss: 0.6
I'm really happy that I've been losing weight lately. Just shows that plain old counting calories works. My weight always seems to stop coming off when I try to just estimate what I'm eating.
I've been working on my running and meeting my goal of running 100 miles this month. I am at 55 right now, so a little behind but I should still be able to do it if I push myself the rest of the month.5 -

@lacatgirl Your post went through fine, it is a few messages up. And yes, this is where you post your weigh in. If we marked your post with 'insightful' that means we have recordered it on the spreadsheet.2
I just really like nature and having animals in the garden. Birds, bats, bees, hedgehogs, they are all welcome and I like to help them out when I can. Today and tomorrow will be high food days, but then it's back to normal again.
