Good evening Waistaways 🥰
I've had a busy couple of days at work.
Tomorrow I don't have to start work until 4pm, so my husband and I are going to Elan Valley, beautiful place with a four dams. It is only 1 hour drive from home. It is place where we went on our first date exactly 21 years ago 🫣 It is our 18th wedding anniversary on Monday so we are celebrating a day early 🥰Shaun deserves a medal for putting up with me for so long 🤣
I other news I'm still going strong. Watching weightloss programs on TV to keep me motivated.
Do any of you have any favorite programs? Mine is Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead with Joe Cross. It's Joe's documentary about juicing. He introduces Phil Staples etc... I don't want to spoil it but please watch it. If you feel demotivated that program will definitely put you back on track 🥰

Happy early wedding anniversary @strong_fit_ells! I hope you have a great time celebrating tomorrow!
We went to the park today and we did a lot of walking. My legs are sore tonight! But it was a gorgeous day out. I ate under calories and hit a perfect day!
@jugar I hope your husband feels bettter and you don't get sick.
@ashleycarole86 I hope you don't get too sick either. Not something you want to deal with after vacation.1 -
checking in before bed and catching up on posts. thanks for the encouragement on kayaking, I will drop immediately into a depression when the season is over.
cough is pissing me off now and I had a pretty bad end to the work week with a late Friday night. But, today was a perfect Saturday. Didn't overeat, kayaked for 2.5 hours in beautiful, sunny, October weather, then headed up to the roof deck and tanned, journaled, read my book while I did laundry. Love a multitasking weekend! And I got PT done after dinner with a show.
Tomorrow I will kayak for the 4th day in a row, on the Mystic River which I haven't hit yet this season. After grocery shopping, I will settle in for about 10 straight hours of football.
I started a 6 week workout challenge on Monday, and week 1 went right on schedule which felt great. Hoping my foot holds and I don't overdo things with PT, dance cardio Tuesdays, and the challenge.
@micki48 keep it up at the gym! and so great what your son is doing. My sister is in eastern NC, so they weren't hit too bad, but the videos and stories coming out of Appalachia are tugging at me.
hope you all start the week off on a good foot tomorrow!2 -

Nice work on the weight loss this week @strong_fit_ells .. enjoy your anniversary celebration with your husband.
@micki48 you too.. love a good comeback story and your energy right now is screaming that! Thankful for people like your son who help others in times of need
@Kali225 football will be our company today too as we are both sick and not moving far anyway. Are you doing fantasy football again this year and how's your team doing?3 -
@Gidgitgoescrzy - I had the same struggle with screen time and gravitating to my social apps. I had to remove the apps for a while and now I have a screentime limit for my social media. For the most part I follow it and find I'm not as anxious and able to be more present with my family. It's always going to be a struggle for me if I don't put limits on myself.
@jugar hope your husband recovers quickly.
@strong_fit_ells - Happy Anniversary. What a special story on your first date. Fantastic loss, you are nailing it.
I'm enjoying fall. I have time off work the next few weeks and have my to-do list full of what I want to get done around the house but also going to take some time for things I enjoy. I'm going to Galveston in December for my brother's wedding and excited to spend time mostly with family but also in checking out more of Texas. I've only been to San Antonio and loved it there.
Anyone have ideas or suggestions on what to do or see in Houston or Galveston?1 -

@ashleycarole86 yes, doing an office fantasy league and my brother and I decided to start a family one for the first time! Trash talk is 10/10, it's been fun. One of my teams is doing pretty well, the other, not so much... but the Packers won today so it's a good day!!
I woke up naturally at 6:45am today which is unusual for a Sunday. But it helped me get on the water for kayaking by 8:45am which is definitely earlier than I have ever been out. It was beautiful and quiet. Lots of birds. And then I did some last minute shopping for accessories for a wedding I am in this coming weekend. Found some good things, and didn't spend too much. I meal prepped with football, and got my PT exercises done.
Ready for bed now. Night team!3 -
Good Morning Everyone
Start of the week and it will be busy one for me at work, again
I looked at my habbit tracker and I only had a 2 perfect days, which is no good
So today I aim for a perfect day and I will report later 
I really recomend a Habit Tracker Set one up with your goals and it is amazing how motivating it is when you have a chance to tick it off. Some days I forgot to do my plank and as I wanted to tick it off I just did it
I still have 22lbs to lose by end of year so I need alot of Perfect Days
@jugar I hope your husband feels better, Liselyn
@lauren_989 any more step challenges coming up soon? My work is quiet next week so I could really use the motivation
Have a lovely day everyone

It's been a week! Life last week was chaotic, but should be on the upswing this week. I didn't work out most days last week because I didn't have the oomph/brainpower/whatever you'd like to call it to do so. But, I was back to it this morning, and plan to keep at it this week! Hope all are keeping well!3 -
Good evening Waistaways 😁
Just wanted to post because I'm so proud of myself 🥰
I've had a busy day today with pottering around the house, dog walking and having long shift at work! I only finished sn hour ago and it was 11pm in UK.
So these are my steps for today 😁
Woop! Woop! 🎊🎊🎊
@lauren_989 I wish we were still doing our partner step challenge 😁🥰
Have a lovely Tuesday all 🥰

Wow! Great steps Ellie!!
I know there is not currently a step/partner challenge going on right now for the whole group. Would anyone be interested just on our team? We could either partner up and try to get the most steps, or partner up and try to do more than your partner.
Let me know everyone's thoughts!1 -
@strong_fit_ells awesome steps!!
@ashleycarole86 oh man, feel better! What a bummer post-vacay.
Having an okay day here - I got up early and did 2 out of 3 supersets for my leg day in my challenge today, finished rhe final set after work along with PT. Work was a bit frustrating but I finally got something off my plate that was bugging me. Eating was so-so - lots of protein which was needed but not muh veg and a snack craving hit right before dinner, which I caved to. Ugh. Very tired now so heading to bed shortly.
Onto tuesday!2 -

@ashleycarole86 and @bowens1973 feel better soon. I know so many people who either have COVID or sick
@strong_fit_ells wow fantastic step count
@Kali225 love that you can get out kayaking still. It's getting a little too cold around here for it.
Having said that we have been getting a few warm days and I'm loving fall. Walking the dog in the creek with all the leaves turning is so magical. I have a few days off this week but still got up early to get my workout in and going to knock a few things off my to-do list. Tires need to be changed soon, getting my windows cleaned, putting away summer items.
Also looking forward to Thanksgiving (Canadian) this weekend. Weather should be good and will be nice to connect with family.2 -

I'll take it. I was down more on Sunday, so not sure why I gained weight over the last 2 days. 🤷🏼♀️3 -

@lauren_989 so sorry about being a little late. My heads been all over the place this week. 😊
So after my last post I was feeling better and so I’ve been on track with my food, water, exercise,and sleep and hoped I would lose more. But the week had other plans for me.
About 1 year ago I moved back to NY from NC. I lived in NC for about 8 years. After about the 5th year of living there the drs found 7 enlarged lymph nodes in my chest. Every year they would have me go in to scan. But just kept telling me they were stable. So in 2023, I decided to move back to ny and go to the drs for answers. They have been doing blood work, scans, and now I biopsy this afternoon. I’ve been so stressed. I hope I get answers soon.
On a positive note , I did have a nice long walk this morning.😊6 -
Missed a couple days checking in. I went to the gym yesterday. Didn’t want to go today, but put on my gym clothes and did it. Felt good. I knew I couldn’t go tomorrow and possibly Friday. My weight is up a bit which is not surprising after a bigger loss. We’ll see what it looks like tomorrow.
@ashleycarole86 So sorry to hear you and Brad are sick with Covid. Hope you feel better real soon. @jugar hope you hubby is on the mend too.

@Jen_967 I hope the biopsy turns out ok. I'm glad you were able to get doctors to test further. Praying for you!
I got my flu shot this afternoon, and now I feel scratchy throat, body aches, and congestion. I've never gotten sick from the flu shot before, so don't know if it's just coincidence. Will hopefully get some sleep and feel better in the morning.0 -
