@jessicakrall8 -- I'll put you in my prayers tonight and I'll catch the East Coast weather news in the morning. I hope it passes you. I'm trying to imagine temperatures that warm...holy moly that's hot. Take care of yourself extra good and keep us updated!3

Good morning Shape Shifters. It was another hot and boring day. I got some groceries but that was it. Bought a small package with salty crackers. Ate the whole thing, which wasn't the plan. Still in a defecit though and the scale agreed this morning, so I don't feel too bad about it. Happy Friday everyone

My kids went back to school this past week. It's much quieter during the day without them here but the evenings have been busy also getting back into music and sports. This weekend I start back at hockey coaching, which I'm looking forward to.
I went for a bike ride this morning and blew out my back tire on the only short stretch of road that I have to take (the rest of my route is bike paths). I was going pretty fast and luckily I didn't fall and wasn't far from home. So I ended up getting in a 40min bike ride and a 30min walk, lol.
@jessicakrall8 oh my goodness, that is hot weather! I hope the storm doesn't come near you.
@Zaxa2021 Way to go on getting a PB on your 4 mile run! That sounds like great progress!
@armygirlof1 Hope Dinah Mite (love that name!) is recovering well! Are you getting in lots of snuggles?4 -
Good morning Shape Shifters!
Friday weigh day:
PW 169.53 lb
CW 165. 89 lb
This week I watched what I ate. I did not count my calories but I am planning to do that and log in my foods starting today. My partner says I am eating too less? I don't want to go down that road. Best to count calories. As I had mentioned before, this is my first time in my weight loss journey!
I stopped eating empty calories and ate more healthy foods! Dinners are where I have been putting on. So I ate those like a bird! I miss my portion sizes but the scale every morning encouraged me.
@Pupowl I made a mistake with my current weight while registering. How do I update it? Thanks!3 -
@dauntlessdivya
Only the captains can change the numbers on the spreadsheet. I have adjusted your starting weight to 169.5 and your weigh in to 165.9. We only use one decimal. Tracking your food is a good idea for sure. Nice loss!3 -
Cyncia85 Steps for 9/7 = 4,118
Low number of steps due to sitting for work, allergy shot during lunch break, hair cut, driving for errands - time/day flew by. Feeling sore from Wednesday's workout + trouble sleeping so I didn't push myself to get up early.4 -

We just had Idalia to deal with last week, so I feel your pain! I hope that Lee turns and leaves you guys alone.

I don't know if I've shared this photo yet but I thought it was funny and cute. I didn't get as much done today as I had hoped. I have a lot of picked apples to process and find homes for!The girls are the same age and were adopted together. One of them is pretty ornery...

@Zaxa2021 I love that you updated your goal progress! That’s a fantastic way to show accountability. I need to remember that! Congrats on you PR on the 4 miles!
@Becoming_A_Butterfly way to just commit and follow through on the exercise!
@jessicakrall8 saying a prayer for you!
@Cyncia85 I like the mindful affirmations you post! Thanks!
I took a break from recording steps this month but I love seeing everyone’s progress! It’s very inspiring!
My goal this weekend is
1-to record food for both Saturday and Sunday and no mindless eating. I will be accountable for everything I chose to eat.
2-total of 1hr of walking each day.5 -
Sometimes it’s helpful to have a reset and have some reminders. Here’s an article from Mayo Clinic which elaborates each point more thoroughly of course 😉
