My steps should look better for the end of the year as I'm going on holiday and that always gets me walking 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏼♀️
@melaniedscott @minstrelofsarcasm
I'll be away from home until the 7th of January and will unlikely be able to weigh myself. I'll try to remember to weigh-in this Thursday as it's probably the last chance as I doubt there will be scales in our places of accommodation. So, please excuse me from my weigh-in Saturdays until then.
Daily Cheers to a BETTER ME!

Not as good as last but better than nothing. Haven't been feeling terrific, not bad, just meh. Husband thinks I have a cold or something. He could be right.

I didn't get my step goal but I did get a lot of other things done today, like laundry, shopping, recycling, organising some details of our holiday, checking all the basic necessities were bought and packed - yes, I've started packing my suitcase! I mean, it's not the early hours of the day we're flying, so that's quite an achievement on my part 😆 Oh, and I've made a big pot of soup with all the vegetables that were in the fridge - another positive move instead of having to bin the unused or rotting veg! The last time we went on holiday, I froze the veg, hmm, the celery and tomatoes were ok for soup, but the carrots were yuchy looking! I guess they're best par-cooked before freezing 🤷♀️ Anyhoo, only yoghurt, avocado and dragon fruit to eat before we go, so that's a breeze 🥑1 -

@BodyTalking nice job continuing to keep up with your habit tracking!
I’ve been battling a cold/flu for almost a week now. I’ve still been trying to get walks/runs/steps in though and still making an effort to eat well. Keeping up with my habits on my paper tracker. Doing pretty okay with that. Will see what the scale says Saturday.
@sydditt how’s tracking going for you? Still getting your prepared workouts in?
We as a TEAM came in SECOND this past week!! Great job all!!
GO TEAM WEIGHT NO MORE!! Let’s do this!! Ra Ra Ra!! 😀🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻3 -

I’m doing - ok - this week. Fell off the wagon in a huge way yesterday when a co-worker gifted me with some caramels for Christmas. First time I’ve been truly out of control since September. Still got my protein & fiber in as well as a 10 min trigger workout (which was all I had planned). Today I teleworked so I was able to sleep in a 1/2 hour later, do a 20 min spin and a 10 min HIIT and be logged on and at my desk right on time. Love telework days! It was beautiful out today so I did a 1/2 hour walk over lunch and got a 50 min weight workout in later in the day.
Hope you feel better soon @daria09192 -

@sydditt thanks. I’m hoping that I’m on the mend.
And, I’m exhausted just reading about all the working out you did! Great job!!

Quick Ashley Update:
The Bad:
My mom's doctor found a tumor - they're getting it biopsied next week, and they expect it to be benign, but it's still stressing everyone out. That stress, on top of the standard stressors of the holidays, is not doing good things for my mental or physical health.
The Good:
My company's holiday party is Thursday this week, and it's going to be hosted at the Botanical Gardens. So while it's during the workday and not likely to have alcohol provided, there's going to be food and plants, and I won't have to get any work done all day!
Also, I am checking out a nearby Burn Bootcamp tomorrow morning. They're in the middle of their soft open right now, and the owner reached out to me to be a trainer with them (assuming I like the format after I pop in). They officially open the first week of January, so I may be officially using my Personal Training Certification earlier than expected.
A Question: (well, a couple...)
After you got started focusing on your health, what kept you going? Was it a community you found? A specific exercise format you loved? One surprisingly delicious healthy food?3 -
@minstrelofsarcasm I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Fingers crossed that the biopsy comes back as benign. Keep us posted!
Your new opportunity sounds exciting! I don’t know much about Burn Boot Camps. Hopefully, you’ll be able to tailor the workouts to individuals, rather than it being a one-size-fits-all.minstrelofsarcasm wrote: »A Question: (well, a couple...)

Doing challenges like this one, and listening to podcasts like Chalene Johnson, Dr Gabrielle Lyon Show, and Mind Pump keep me motivated.
I started looking for podcasts and books to begin with because I signed my daughter and I up for a weightlifting class at our local gym (she needs it for her sport) and wanted to research nutrition to support it.
I’ve always thought that for exercise, cardio was the main event and weightlifting was the extra thing you did if you’d gotten your cardio in. I have an acute dislike of jumping around and running for any length of time so I’ve never been able to stick to any exercise. Hearing that, at 48, I just need to pick up some heavy dumbbells (or a barbell) a few times a week and go for walks (steady state cardio) made all the difference in the world. I actually still do some cardio, but it’s because I like to spin, and I do short runs/hiit so I can walk up the hills around my house faster. I keep my cardio short - it’s more like doing sprints, so hopefully it’s not too damaging.
Also being able to keep my calories around 1500-1600 by eating non-inflammatory foods and focusing on protein and fiber has really helped. I’ve never been able to stick to diets where I was eating 1200-1300 calories a day.
I will say, that it’s mostly the community that has kept me going through plateaus, etc… ❤️

@minstrelofsarcasm fingers crossed and prayers your mother’s way that all works out!
Awesome that you might be putting your newly earned personal training to use 😀
This group and a running group I joined as well are the absolute reasons why I’m enjoying my current weight loss efforts and am paying more attention to my health. I’m also committed to working with a personal trainer once a week who kicks my butt 😂
