    @AmbersWay Those are great steps even if you were feeling good! Hope you're feeling better soon.

    @crhillis Hi Cristi welcome! Where are you?

    @trooworld So glad you're feeling better, yay! Your phase for the year always makes me think of what I've done for the day and how it's for the better or worse of my health, thanks for having such a good one that is helpful for the rest of us too.

    @bethanie0825 Great steps so far!

    Hi friends! I'm on early as I have a board meeting tonight with the charity at Roundtable, I have the app and have a coupon for a free personal pizza with drink so that's my plan for it. I got up and did a modified workout as I had no energy then went to the farm. Turns out the chef got the basil yesterday so I came back home and took a nap then did some herb harvesting, I have a bunch of bowls waiting for their turn in the dehydrator. I just got home from Walmart pickup and had started replying when I realized I never brought in the groceries, haha. I scare myself sometimes! The charity is having a volunteer appreciation night and I offered to make a cake one of our gluten-free volunteers. My aunt had made one for my cousin's bridal shower so I got the recipe and need to track down some Belgian chocolate (think Trader Joe's pound plus bars will cover it). She recommended doing a trial cake but I don't trust myself with a cake in the house! I gained 7-8lbs on the 15 days of steroids staying at 1200-1300 calories so the few things that fit barely do. Have an awesome Friday team!

    I typed up a whole thing last night and apparently I didn't click on "post reply" Dang, smh..... I'm sorry, now I'm late again.

    I'm getting real excited about my birthday shenanigans. Tomorrow, I'm going to get my hair dyed pink, and on Saturday, I'm should be getting my new shirt. Next week the shenanigans begin.

    I took my best buddy out walking today, we walked 2 1/2 miles and I fell down. Lol, in my defense, lol, I was tired and so was Chipper. Thank goodness I didn't hurt myself. I got some bagels made and I made another batch of "Golo Roll Bowl" which, is delicious!! It's an egg roll except there's no wrapper and it hasn't been fried in oil. Tomorrow, if I have time I'm going to make some banana pumpkin muffins and another healthy hamburger helper and some more overnight oats. I'm going to try a new golo recipe, Chicken and Cauliflower bake.

    That is about all I've really got for now, have a great evening.

    @DrewsAnna pink hair will be fun! Enjoy bday shenanigans. The golo roll bowl sounds yummy.

    @Katmary71 that is so nice of you to make the cake. I am sure it will turn out great.

    @trooworld glad to see you are feeling better. I’m considering to put a an hourly timer on to remind me to get up and walk/drink water.

    @crhillis welcome to the group from another expat. You found a nice group of supporters here.

    @Neon_Ninja Joey is adorable and doesn’t seem to care about personal space which is great!

    @865jessica I hope your little guy is feeling better 💐

    ————

    Well I’m still up and down with how I am feeling but holding strong. I had a 5lb overnight gain last week and it dropped off in 2 days. Woke up 2 days ago with a new 8lbs overnight! 4 has dropped off. This water retention is insane. I’m sticking to my plan and walking when I’m feeling up to it.

    Stridekick members: I could only invite who I am friends with. So please add me so I can invite you for the next challenge. We have 9 spots. Also, if any of you see someone missing, please send them the link if I miss it.

    Thats all for me

    Have a great day!

    @DrewsAnna I love the idea of pink birthday hair! I make pretty much the same dish you do, but I call it "Egg Roll in a Bowl" and serve it over shirataki noodles. Actually, that's on the menu for dinner, since there's a cabbage in this week's farm box.

    @micaroo4, @bethanie0825 @AmbersWay those are some nice steps on your challenge.

    I'm still fighting being sick. Or rather, I sound sick and drippy, but I finally feel back to normal. Got to go kayaking on the river for a couple of hours yesterday, probably on the last truly nice day of the year, and made it to yoga 1.6 times (there was a fire alarm halfway through class). And I've made quite a bit of progress on the vegetable backlog from last week and the extremely full freezer.

    @Katmary71 happy belated Birthday! I am about 20ish lbs away from being out of the 200's. Something I can't remember happening for a very long time.

    @crhillis welcome. I hope you stick to this better than I. I'm still working on my baby fat from 9 and 15 years ago. lol

    @DrewsAnna have fun prepping for your shenanigans! Sounds fun!

    @AJV2688 I keep track of my weights in the notes app on my phone. Then I just copy and paste into this site. Easy to update and find for me.


    Sounds like everyone is sure getting their steps in. I have chose not to participate as I can't always carry my phone around when I'm walking in order to track. Happy it's Friday and no big plans for the weekend other than Canadian Thanksgiving supper on Sunday at my parents house. I will likely make pumpkin pie, but have a really good keto-version that I can take. My husband is keto, but I am not, however this pie tastes pretty non-keto!
    It's feeling a lot like fall around here these days and has been rainy and windy the past few days. That hasn't stopped my beast from dragging me out of the house for a walk though. We came home pretty soaked one night-we made it a bit of a shorter walk. We both eventually dried though-no melting.
    Everyone enjoy their weekend and Happy Thanksgiving to my Canuck friends!

    @Micaroo4 Another day with awesome steps!

    @DrewsAnna I can't wait to see your pink hair! Oh no I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself with the fall. I love hearing you enjoying food and recipes again, that bake sounds awesome!

    @AmbersWay Oh no that is some crazy water gains and losses! Hang in there, hopefully that will stop soon.

    @trooworld I hope the career fair goes well! I don't think most people know all the cool stuff that goes on in libraries, I had a board meeting last night and found out you can get a certification for grant writing so I'm going to look into that more. Have fun!

    @AJV2688 You can go by notifications but I've found if you click on the thread for Mission Slimpossibles it will go to the post you haven't read yet which helps get you to where you left off. You can scroll up and the last post will be yours. Looks like the snacking didn't hurt you, congrats!

    @badnoodle Oh no a fire alarm in the middle of class sounds stressful! Was everything ok? Kayaking sounds awesome, I'm glad you got a chance to go before it gets cold.

    @sleepygirl79 How exciting you aren't far away then! Happy Thanksgiving!Oh no the beast doesn't realize it's not walking weather, do you usually go all year? I know you have more extreme weather than I do and I don't even like to leave the house in winter!

    Hi friends! I'm exhausted, I worked out this morning but didn't push it with weights and cardio as my steroids are wearing off and I'm hurting pretty bad. Took my new computer to my parent's house for my Dad to transfer info over to it and went for my hair appointment then back to pick up the computers. I got the equivalent of a pizza off at Papa Murphy's from the app birthday reward so I picked it up on the way home and practically inhaled a few slices as all I ate was a plum and a coffee drink. I rarely do the birthday stuff but this year I've taken advantage of a few. I have the garden club in the morning and need a bath, have a great Saturday everyone!

    @trooworld That's awesome I'm glad you get that many people for the job fair, really it's ideal if a library is a "hub" in the area for the community. Thanks you have a great day too! Oh no I hope your feet feel better especially if you head to the zoo!

    @txcritter69 What gorgeous photos I bet you didn't want to come home!

    @865jessica Meal prepping is a great plan! A lot of the bloggers offer 7 day plans, I know skinnytaste does plus she has a meal planning book but most of it's free on her website. Thanks hope you have a great day too!

    @laurelfit57 I'm fine if you jump back in since I miss you and you're part of our family! Were you still down as losing or maintenance? @trooworld and @broncobuddee would know better about that but I'm really happy to see you! I'd think you could officially come back next month but hang out for now if they agree. How are you doing?

    Hi everyone! I'm really tired from the last few days but feel a little better than yesterday thank goodness. I did a light workout this morning then went to the garden club which is always fun. I brought home some kohlrabi seeds like I need more seeds but thought they'd be fun to grow. The woman I helped with her pots came, I knew she'd enjoy it plus the building is ADA friendly and she had a great time, I was happy to see her. Not much else going on, taking it easy today for the most part. Have a great Sunday and Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian members!

    @Katmary71 i miss you too! It had been a crazy summer/fall, definitely I am back to losing;). I see you are still working out and into gardening. A bit pooped this evening, made a good size perennial bed today and I am done:).
