    I know you enjoy seeing the reno pictures. Here's another one. They are working today (and the next couple of days) on leveling the floor joists and redoing the subfloor. Not only should it eliminate squeaks but it should assure that the plank flooring going down will not eventually separate. Since separation has happened to me in the past, they are assuring that it won't happen during this renovation. because I have a basement, there is not solid slab of floor, but empty underneath space which is in my son's downstairs apartment. This makes keeping floor level more of a challenge. House built 1971 so it's time....

    Hello Team 100. I have enjoyed reading your check-ins. Thanks for posting. It’s comforting to know I am not doing this alone.

    Day 2 - 4/11/24 152 lbs (same 🤷‍♀️)
    Goal - 130 lbs

    Rough start to the day but hung in there. Started counting calories today 1400 - 1600 is my goal. 275 left. Saving them for an evening tea & healthy muffin. I made a double batch today and I find them quite satisfying. Recipe below.

    Currently on the elliptical with a 30 minute timer set. Working on interval training. It’s kicking my butt! 😂 Going to finish with a 30 minute vinyasa flow session. 🧘 Tomorrow I will focus on a bit of strength training. 💪

    Seeking advice
    Looking for suggestions to work my abs without straining my neck or lower back. Thanks in advance. 👍

    Note about the muffin recipe below:
    I substituted applesauce for the maple syrup and used half the blueberries; however, I added well drained Tropical Fruit Cocktail. Delicious!

    I really like the Burpee Girl Youtube videos, and she has a ton of "standing abs" videos - I haven't done a situp in the past year and my core feels so strong! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FOAyQmdn6A Also if you have access to a pool, front leg lifts and flutter kicks hanging on to the edge of the pool is really great, as are controlled twists with water resistance weights. But even standing against a wall in your house to stabilize your back and doing controlled, slow knee lifts where you are focusing on making your core do the work are effective, along with side bends (as long as you only bend to the point of resistance, not straining to get lower.) That's probably the real key - focus on your core and take down the range of motion of anything that makes your back twinge. Although you seem like you can handle more intense workouts than I can! :)

    @deepwoodslady: there's nothing more stressful than seeing your house torn apart, even if the end result will be fantastic! Can't wait to see the progress photos!
    Hope you're feeling better!! <3

    Day 03-04/12-- 64.4 kg. Waist 29.3" Hips 38.3". Very pleased with these measurements - esp the hips! After giving birth I was convinced they would never be under 40" again no matter how many Jane Fonda videos I owned. To celebrate I found half a stale French loaf at the back of the pantry (don't ask!) and had French toast for breakfast, mousetraps (mini pizzas on bread) for lunch, and bread and veg soup for dinner - then tossed the rest to the birds. No more bread allowed for a week now.

    Tina, congratulations on the inches lost. It’s always exciting to see curves that taper in the healthy direction.

    Mouse traps. lol. I’ve never heard it called that before. That was my final “off the grid snack” before starting this challenge. They were delicious but nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. 🥰

    Congratulations on reaching a weight you haven't seen or felt in a decade! You've worked hard and deserve to be "strutting around" feeling pretty great. You are going to absolutely shine at that wedding, my friend. Look out world!

    Back again! 65F, 5' 8". CW 65.2 kg. aiming to get down to 60 kg, but I'll be happy dropping another 3.

    Day 01-04/10-- 65.2 kg. Meant to measure waist and hips this am but forgot.

    Day 02-04/11-- 64.5 kg.

    Day 03-04/12-- 64.4 kg. Waist 29.3" Hips 38.3". Very pleased with these measurements - esp the hips! After giving birth I was convinced they would never be under 40" again no matter how many Jane Fonda videos I owned.

No more bread allowed for a week now.

    Day 04-04/13-- 65.1 kg. Not what I'd hoped to wake up to. Think it's water retention from all the salt I consumed yesterday.
