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.😊5 -
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 -

Thanks so much everyone for all the well wishes. It's been a rough week here in our household but we are on our way up, finally. And of course I can't even comprehend what our American friends are dealing with in Florida with the hurricane.. just devastating.

I will take it. I have had a busy week so I wasn't able to get on alot, but I hope everyone who is sick feels better quickly.
I am off tomorrow I am getting my hair done, it's down to my lower back, and I am cutting atleast a foot off , going with a complete change to a shaggy lob, so that should take atleast a 1lb off me for next week. haaa haaa
Have a great weekend.

It's not much, but it's going the wrong way! I will make today a perfect day even though I didn't get any sleep last night.

@micki48 (I have you back at 8k daily pledge - let me know if that's still right!)
My watch is dead as it doesn't hold a charge anymore - I will be very hit or miss in what I can report. My phone records steps but it requires it to be on me. So, I will either be participating in a limited way or not at all until I replace my battery or get a new watch!0 -
Hi all,
First things first...

France... OMG! I had no idea how beautiful and historic France is. Hard not to fall in love. Ash and I had such an amazing time... a few pics:

Thursday already!!
Hope Brad & Ashley are continue to recuperate. Pictures from France are awesome, you guys look like you had a lot of fun.
And @Jen_967 sending all good thoughts for results of your biopsy.
I am continuing to battle this hacking cough. I have definitely let myself wallow/binge/snack too much as a result, so I will try to really reset next week. I am in my friend's wedding this Saturday. As maybe was predictable for someone who has been in a weight loss rut since March, I did not end up losing any weight before this event. Rats. But, I picked up my bridesmaid dress yesterday which did not fit AT ALL when it arrived, and this seamstress worked a true miracle!! I will feel just fine wearing it. I'm even a little excited to get my hair done. And I got a gel manicure for the first time in my life this week.
Week 2 of my workout challenge is going well, and PT sessions have really been kicked up a notch - I get to the point of drippingggg sweat twice a week there!
Won't be optimistic about the scale tomorrow, but on we go.1 -

The renaissance faire last weekend was a lot of fun! One of my friends and I bought ourselves tiaras that are just gorgeous. I also bought new D&D dice that are made from a metal. My husband did end up buying a turkey leg for lunch, which was his one goal for the faire.
Now that my cold is pretty much gone (save for a lingering cough), I have managed to squeeze in a yoga and a few strength workouts this week. I have just one more workout from Sydney’s September calendar to complete and then it’s on to October's!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Love the photos of France - Brad and Ash!
Kali, I hope that you have a blast at your friend’s wedding!1 -
