@ashleycarole86 and @bowens1973 Welcome back! I hope your trip was fantabulous and that you have time to get over the jetlag and do all the laundry before having to get back into work mode.1

Sorry for missing last week’s weigh-in! I was traveling for work at the beginning of the week, returned home for one day, and then my husband and I were on the road to head out to a music festival. I also ended up getting a small cold in between as well, that was manageable and didn’t get in the way of the festival, but nevertheless not fun.
The festival was amazing and we definitely got our steps in which I think helped me overall not gain weight.
Hoping to get a workout in this morning before I head into the office. I am attempting to go into the office on my 3 busiest days in the work week, which are usually Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. That way when I work from home on my less busy days, I have time for laundry and other house tasks that our weekends don’t have time for.
This weekend we are going to a faire for a friend’s birthday so looking forward to more steps and to the event itself. It has been a long time since I have been to a faire!2 -
Friday weigh in on time!!
PW 219.5
CW 216.4
Yippee! Biggest drop I’ve seen in a VERY long time. This makes me very happy. Now to keep it up.3 -
Happy Friday everyone!
I didn't lose as much as I wanted. Still trying to break bad habits. Today starts another week for me, so hopefully this week I'll do better. I have been enjoying reading everyone's comments.
@micki48 That's wonderful that your son, Andrew, is headed to western NC to help the flood victims! My niece goes to Western Carolina University, and she had to head home to Charlotte on Wednesday because classes have been cancelled until October 21st. At my alma mater, Appalachian State University, 30% of students have been displaced. My heart goes out to all the victims. Wish I was closer to help.

This week has not been my best. I stayed home from work yesterday and had a "sick" day. I was feeling quite under the weather due to allergies. For some reason this last week, they have been BAD! But, also yesterday was a mental health day. I just needed a day away from work.1 -

I hope you had some time to focus on your mental health. That is just as important as our physical health. Also, what is a 600 series?
First off, this is a great goal!
Secondly, a 600 series is three bowling game that equal 600 or more. Essentially, 200+ for each game. 300 is a perfect score in bowling. 200 is good score. 100 is what new bowlers try to break. My highest ever game happened twice, once in high school and once about 10 years ago and that was 223. My highest series (three games) was 585, and I got that a year or two ago. I am finally at the point where I consistently get 500+ series, so I feel the 600 is going to happen soon.1 -
Friday Weigh In
PW: 254.7 (I think)

Could have been worse, as my cold has evolved into a hacking cough and my TOM hit a few days ago. "Not my week" let's say.
At least I am currently sailing my way down the Charles in a kayak. Only 9 days left of this beautiful season, and I am making the most of it.

Today was crazy at work. My internet on my laptop kept disconnecting for 5 minutes at a time until finally it disconnected for 30+ minutes. I grabbed a different computer and it started doing the same thing. Finally the IT guy came out and discovered it was the router or something similar that was bad. So they fixed that and hopefully I won't have more issues on Monday. So now I am destressing after a busy week in a bath! My last 2 days of eating have been awful to say the least. I need to get back on track asap.
@micki48 great weigh in this week!
@ashleycarole86 and @bowens1973 make sure you post some photos once you unwind.
@wishfuljune have fun at the faire!
@Kali225 enjoy those last few days of kayaking. I can't believe how much earlier it is getting darker right now.
@MaddawgMadsen oh wow, that is awesome! My highest bowling game was 186, many years ago. Now my goal is always to break 100 😂
Aiming and planning for a perfect day tomorrow! Who's joining me?3 -
FYI to the newer folks. A perfect day is just 1 day where you hit all your goals. Food, exercise, steps, sleep, whatever your goals are. Sometimes hitting just 1 or 2 perfect days gets you back into the momentum of further perfect or better days.1

@Gidgitgoescrzy Might sound a bit drastic but I actually uninstalled a few apps that I was constantly on - I left them off for a couple months - then reinstalled them slowly and I find now that I only look at them for about 30 minute a day now...3
-
Well, it looks like I'll need to be excused from this week's weigh-in. I cannot go home
- my husband has covid and I'm staying with my son until he gets better. We meet up outside, but I am avoiding the house where the scale lives. I thought he'd be negative by now, but it is slow! 6 -
Weigh In Day: I don't remember when I first added my weight so I'll go with Oct 1, and every Saturday from here.
PW (Previous Weight): 210.9
CW (Current Weight): 210
Over the past year I've switched from 100% cardio to 100% weight training. It'd probably be wise to find a balance.3 -

Thursday weigh-in (late due to travel)
PW 263.8
CW 268.4
This was after two weeks of eating ALL the cheese and bread and croissants and heavy Alsatian food and drinking ALL the wine, so I'll take it. We did walk a lot of steps but not enough to off-set all the desserts.
Well, I have just under 20 pounds to lose if I'm going to meet my 2024 end of year goal. If you folks remember my start of year goal it was to weigh less at the end than the start, but that ship has sailed.
Also, both Brad and I seem to be getting sick! NOOO! @jugar to answer your question I was back at work first thing after we got home but Brad had a couple of extra days off so he got the house in order for us which I so appreciate.
Guess it's gonna be a low key weekend...5 -
Step catch-up:
Oct 1 - 11643 steps
Oct 2 - 9299 steps
Oct 3 - 11540 steps + 16 minutes Peloton
My watch keeps dying so I'm missing out on steps. It dies at like 40% now... gonna need a change.

@janiss123 Thanks! Many of my former students are currently attending App State, as well as Brevard and WCU, they are all also home. We have family in Hendersonville. Their house is ok but no power or water. And the roads are all a mess or gone. Keeping all those folks in my thoughts and prayers.
@jugar Sorry to hear your OH has Covid! He hardly goes anywhere, right?!
@Kali225 Glad you are enjoying the last bit of kayaking you can get in.
@ashleycarole86 Welcome home! Sounds like a wonderful trip. You’ll have that “cheese” gone in no time.
Need to get moving. Have a great day everyone.1 -
