Sorry - this has been such a busy week...I just feel so overwhelmed and tired at the moment. I will get in more once things settle a bit.
Have been missing my granddaughter - just no time...so I'm taking her shopping with me today
She absolutely loves people and will smile and wave to everyone - TOO CUTE!

@fourathomej your granddaughter is so adorable!! That is so cute she will wave to everyone!
@Gidgitgoescrzy I've got you down for the end of the year challenge!
@Heathere244 I have found that checking in here, even a few days a week will help keep me accountable. I'm not sure if it's chatting with everyone, or seeing other green numbers, but it can definitely help with motivation and support.
So glad we are halfway through the week! Went to body pump class tonight which was a good stress reliever. I did eat a chocolate bar today, but I didn't eat an extra snack with dinner to make up for it. 3 -

I haven't been exercising as much this week, but plan to go to CrossFit tonight. I always seem to put on weight (muscle) when I get back to CrossFit, so I'm not sure what next week will look like.1 -

Happy Friday!

Coming off a week of eating half a doughnut for dessert almost every night (or two halves) and it being TOM for me, this was a pleasant surprise. I stuck to my workout plan with strength training, and I have spin class tomorrow and yoga on Sunday.
I ended up not going to my cooking club last week because I was not feeling well, likely symptoms related to my TOM starting. This weekend we have a play to see on Saturday, so we will be going out to dinner beforehand.
Work has been very busy; I am in meetings almost nonstop which means I have moved little outside of my workouts and walks with my dog. Earlier in the year, I debated on buying a walking pad, and now I think I should invest in it again. While I am only working from home two days a week now, it would be good to get more steps in on those days since I have my standing desk anyway.1 -
Friday Weigh In

Fine. But I really want to up my loss per week to more like 2lbs than 1lb, so my goal for next week will be 251 or so.4 -

Just snuck back into my maintenance zone, now have to stay there! I'm surprised, though - I have been well over 117 and even up to 119 one day this week, which got me really wondering what was going on. I think, like others have noted, that doing more strength workouts was pushing things up for a while, but then those new muscle fibres start earning their keep by burning more calories than before. About time they got on the job!
What a Friday!
I decided a couple of days ago to join an online 30-day horse riding mini-course to help me move things along with Jasper. We are kind of stuck - I'm not a trainer and have mostly been a seat-of-the-pants kind of rider without a lot of formal training myself. I have picked up a lot along the way, but now I need some help. The local coach I could work with is just not the right person for me and this horse right now.
So today I had to make the "before" video! A friend came and filmed. The rules included tucking in my shirt and wearing a belt, and I was surprised that it felt OK to do that. Tight riding breeches are already a challenge to my body image, but I was very pleased to feel OK with the tucking in and belt routine. That should be a reminder to all that body image insecurity and wonkiness does not immediately go away when you lose the weight. I have been maintaining for over 10 years, and have gotten in good shape over the past few. I still feel somehow safer in loose clothing, but it is getting better!
Gotta go edit and submit that video... It's a bit too long, so I'll eliminate a repeated move or two. I hope I win one of the prizes for biggest improvement at the end

Busy few days at work. So glad it's the weekend! I will relax some and need to jog one day. I have been a lot more active this week which is great. Ready for the step challenge next week with @strong_fit_ells!

I had a break down and was finally given medication to treat my chest infection. I’m still very poorly but I’m hoping to recover soon

I have my meal prep going for this week. I am excited to have a plan for work lunches and seeing how it goes. The show I watch suggested freezing your yogurt as I snack for the night, I am going to try that as well the hard part for finding a sweet treat that isn’t loaded with sugar. I am trying Damon light and fit coconut vanilla crossing my fingers.2 -

I love that you are meal prepping!! Definitely let us know how that goes this week! and I love those Dannon light and fit greek yogurts. Coconut vanilla is good. My favorite is pumpkin pie and it just came out!!1 -

I came here to say heck yeah! But then I see that on the challenge thread someone offered, and Jessica already has me paired up. There are still some folks looking for partners if you want the accountability, but I'm sure you'll be walking plenty over there.
Have a fantastic time in beautiful France!2
