Morning. This group has a lot going on - football teams making the playoffs, home renovations, commutes in icy weather, trips to Mexico very soon - love seeing all of your happenings.
I am back from a long weekend by myself at the beach. It rained the whole 5 hour drive down and was windy the first day but the quiet, sun, and sound of the waves did so much for me. Now I'm back home to gray and cold, but energized. I took walks on the beach and did an exercise video while there. I cooked healthy meals and overall took excellent care of myself. Work demands are not as intense this week as they have been. I think I can actually get caught up! Stopped at the grocery store on my way home so I'm stocked up to eat well.
Hope everyone stays safe and warm!5 -

Hate posting a gain for the team but not really concerned about the number. Last week was crazy - onsite with clients 3 days then had to work evenings as well, no exercise and no logging. But I'm back from my beach reset and set up for success this week. 9 weeks until my conference.2 -
Yesterday was good, they let us leave 2 hours early , and we got more snow last night. Hubby drove me to work today though so no anxiety at all, and the roads were in better shape. Yesterday was a complete surprise, they did not know that was going to happen. Anyway, since I got to leave early, I was able to get all of my exercise in before the football games. I am glad the Steelers lost, I just wish the Bills could have lost too. LOL, but it worked in my favor because now we play the early game, so I can go to bed on time.
Okay have a great day !

@ashleycarole86 - Monday, January 15th - 6,025 steps, 1 hour of league bowling - three games. No opponents and my teammate was sick, so I was able to bust out the games quickly.
The offer we put on the house was $15k under asking. They countered at $5k under asking. We countered back at $10k under and they accepted! So, we are under contract. If everything goes well, we will move in to the new house at the beginning of March. We don't need to be out of the house we are currently in until April, so assuming everything is smooth, we should ample time to move.
@jugar - I am back to no drinking and no processed carbs. It was a one day thing. However, weighing myself the last few days I am up a pound or two, averaging 173.4. Maybe some of it is muscle since I did a lot of workouts at the end of last week and all my clothes are getting looser. I guess we will see what tomorrow's weigh-in has in store.
@zumbaforever - great work on the new decade!! Way to go!
@Gidgitgoescrzy - I am the same way with the snow, especially after a minor accident I had last year. You are very lucky to have a husband who can drive you into work. I'm glad you were able to make it in anxiety free!
@cleaneater80 - Two weeks will pass in a blink of an eye. Mexico will be so nice!
@strong_fit_ells - I have been very tempted to buy a composition scale. Please keep us updated on your thoughts about it. If you really like it, I might just have to get one.
@Kali225 - That is super scary about the lift! The great part about being a kid, is often we don't understand the danger we are in. I'm glad you were able to keep with it and make it a lifelong hobby. I've been partially tempted to sign up for lessons at a local resort. I respect I will probably be the oldest one at the lessons, but I think it would still be fun.5 -

Eek! Not the best weigh in. I was hoping for a green January. I have kinda lost some of my motivation and my parents ended up staying an extra day because their check engine light came on and it wasn't safe to drive to FL. They were able to get the part fixed yesterday and on the road today. I need to get my mind back in the game here.5 -

A very quiet day it was today - maybe I'm balancing out those of you with crazy wild schedules!
@MaddawgMadsen That is fantastic news about your house! You must be thrilled. And it is also thrilling that you are back on the AF and no processed carbs - I'm feeling great really sticking to those too. Of course, we want photos of the house!
Tomorrow afternoon I'm heading for Montreal for a couple of days - actually working! It will be intense, but at least I'll get in a ton of steps. I always do in the city, and it's supposed to be clear and cold. Perfect. I hope to have time to see a couple of my old pals who live there!5 -
Safe travels @jugar - have fun in the big city
I'm exhausted.. that 2 a.m. wake up call is taking its toll. I am just taking it easy for the night.
Soccer restarts on Thursday! Yay. I love sports as a form of exercise - just feels like pure joy.7 -
Happy Tuesday!
We had a bunch of snow and we’re enjoying the end of the evening post supper when the landlady texted that they’d be here in 15-minutes to plow(at 8:50 p.m.). We put on snow pants, etc., and brushed off the cars and moved them just as they pulled up. I was going to take a shower right about then. I had a good exercise class and enjoyed the feeling of warm, tired glutes, hams, and biceps. I’ll still get a shower in, just a bit later than I thought.
More soon. It’s great catching up with all the posts.5 -
@adrimango your beachy getaway sounds so lovely! I am not a big beach person in the summer but there is something about the ocean in the off season that is absolutely captivating.
@ashleycarole86 I see that new pro pic!! so cute
Got snow here, too. It was actually so lovely to see it in the morning, but by early afternoon it turned to sleeting rain, and by the time I left the office, all the sidewalks were dangerously icy. Hope things have been salted or melted by tomorrow morning!
I am halfway through the 30 day yoga journey w/Adriene on youtube, and loving it. Had to stay a bit late at work and I am quite tired now. going to try harder to get to sleep at a reasonable hour this week.4 -

Not much, but it's the right direction!
I have a feeling I am coming down with something, but I hope not. Last night I felt really yucky, so no exercise. Hopefully, it was just from the anxiety of thinking about driving to work this morning, It snowed, it kinda melted, temps dropped too unnecessarily cold. The roads were just fine, I swear, I am my own worst enemy...
UGH, another snow event on Friday... I liked the 2 years of NO SNOW or ICE... Lets do that... Bring that back....
Okay off to do some breathwork, and payroll...

We got more snow overnight so I'm having the same commute anxiety that you've been feeling @Gidgitgoescrzy Hope you are not sick!!
I got a GLORIOUS sleep last night and everything feels possible. Weigh in this morning tells me I'll be happy with my result tomorrow. Just gotta stay the course!5 -

@ashleycarole86 - YAY to a glorious night of sleep!
@Gidgitgoescrzy - I hope you are not getting sick!
@jugar - enjoy the city! And as requested, here are two pictures of the house - one of the front and one of the backyard. I'll post others of the interior as we get closer to closing.

@MaddawgMadsen oh my god! What a beautiful house! 😍 Good luck and all my fingers and toes are crossed for you 😍 Can I please come and live with you? 🤣🤭3

I bought myself a present - a turbo, that you connect a bike to and are able to ride indoors
There's no excuse for me not to meet my step goal now. I'll use it like that until spring and warm weather outside. It was -7*C outside in my town. I know some of you will think its nothing 🤭I know your temperatures are like -20*C !! 😱🫣
@ashleycarole86

@strong_fit_ells love the indoor biking setup! I wanted to walk after work tonight but it was so bitterly cold outside, I ended up doing the treadmill in our small building gym (I am NOT a fan of treadmills), but we gotta get it done somehow!
I am getting into PJs at a reasonable hour! with a big bowl of strawberries as my evening snack.
hope all are staying warm, lots of wintery weather swirling about4 -
@Kali225 Thanks
Me and my sweet girl on our boat.. can you tell I'm dreaming of getting back to nice weather?? LOL it's very wintery and swirly here for sure!
@MaddawgMadsen Gorgeous house! Congrats - what an exciting time for you.
@strong_fit_ells Hey that's great! You're going to be tearing up that step board even more than you already do!
Another LONG day. More shoveling required. Going to just barely hit 10K but I'm calling it a day. Went to buy my new cleats for my new soccer season starting tomorrow. My old ones were so worn out I lost my big toenail last season (oh the horror!! never in my life has anything like that happened)4 -
Phew! What a day - I did manage to get in a half hour of snowshoeing before leaving home, but since I got to Montreal it has been super busy. I think I'm ready for tomorrow now! My brain hurts...
Thursday people! You're up:
@ashleycarole86

@ashleycarole86 sorry. Thought I already had messed that up.

Today I was sore from upper body workout yesterday so used my treadmill.
