@DaffyGirl88 your quilting projects are wonderful.I love the table runner too with the autumn leaves & lovely colours.
The last time I tried quilting I was at school & that's a long time ago.
I like doing freehand embroiderey & fabric painting,I've not done any in a while.Youve inspired me to start up again 😃3 -
My steps,
I planned to go for a walk in the park today but it didn't happen.I only walked to the Post Office to take a parcel.Then spent the rest of the day doing laundry & cleaning.

Yep, no progress/negative progress, staying below my calories and moving more in two months. Something needs to change.

@jessicakrall8 – Seeing and acknowledging those little snippets of kindness is so incredibly valuable. You really sound hopeful despite this tough time, and I hope that brings even more kindness and healing your way.
I really admire your mindset, especially the reminder that every pound lost takes 7 lbs of pressure off your joints. It’s such an important perspective! And honoring your body by easing back into the 10k steps shows incredible patience and self-awareness. Your strength and perseverance are inspiring. You're doing an amazing job—keep it up! 💪
@Cyncia85 I truly needed this today...thank you for your kindness!! Love you!

Good morning Shape Shifters. Weather wasn't nice when I got up, but there was eventually a dry period so I went for a short and boring walk just to get it done. I got a bunch more groceries after. The rest of the day was very lazy. It took a lot of effort to cook and I also put off my gym rings, but eventually ended up doing it after dinner. I got my new kitchen scale very late in the evening. Since it wasn't expensive enough to get free shipping, I also got a puzzle that was on my wish list. It had dropped in price a lot so I decided to get it now. Happy Tuesday everyone

@Pupowl @izzyred9400 and @CasandraW Thanks for the compliments. Fall is my favorite, I have always loved fall colors.6 -
Good morning! ^_^ I hit my calories yesterday, which was a win, but fell asleep before I could do yoga. This morning, I prepped some chickpea mac (which is delicious!) and broccoli for lunch, plus had half a protein shake and some oatmeal.
The real challenge for me, temptation-wise, is going to be the banana upside-down cake my dad requested for tonight. I could probably make a small slice work into my calories, but I'm feeling very invested in my savory charcuterie-esque after-school snack today (olives, pita chips, pickles, carrot sticks, and hummus--yum!) so I'm leaning toward just skipping it.4 -
Thank you @CasandraW
@daffygirll88 - thanks for sharing your quilting projects, I'm impressed and inspired. Amazing!
@jessicakrall8 - hugs!

I’m so grateful for this amazing group as you all help me keep my mindset in check!
As we embrace change and cultivate new healthy habits, I hope this insight resonates with you and provides value in the way that speaks to you most.

Good morning Shape Shifters. We got the first snow of the winter, but it was a wet and slushy mess. I already planned to skip my walk so I could clean. I did laundry, vacuumed the bedrooms, the stairs, cleaned the bathroom, the toilet and I wrestled the winter duvet in the cover for the guest bed. I still struggle a lot with taking a rest day and feel I 'should' work out, but I convinced myself that cleaning was already enough. I had a bit of a hungry day which usually happens if I don't have a walk to keep me busy in the morning. The baklava was calling my name, but I stuck to my 1 piece and stayed on track with my food. Tinus only wanted outside once so we had a pretty lazy day with lots of laptime. Happy Wednesday everyone

A little disappointed with this loss. My weight randomly went up twice and several times it didn't change at all so it was a super slow week. Wed 210.9 - Thu 210.9 - Fri 211.2 - Sat 211.6 - Sun 210.9 - Mon 209.8 - Tue 209.8 - This morning 209.6. I hope this week will be better. My mom will be here Thursday. I will cook for us once, but besides that I plan to stick to my own food and routine.3 -
Good morning all!

Weight was way higher during the past week so I call this a win in my book + I have started weights again doing Sydney Cummings November calendar I also joined her "squad" it was $9.99 for a new member first month as I wanted to see how it works before I committed if it goes well, I will gift a membership to myself for the year for Christmas as we just bought a new stove as ours went out and Christmas tree for downstairs so no gifts between me and my husband this year - she just found out she's pregnant with her 2nd child so we'll see4 -

Chair yoga on 18th but no intentional exercise on 19th. Happy with step consistency even if it’s laps inside inefficient housework. Single digit and negative temperatures mean I appreciate nature by looking out the window😂
Took this yesterday afternoon in dental office parking lot

Good morning Shape Shifters. Another rainy day here. I started a workout early in the morning. I got a pretty nasty headache during it, but I finished the 42 minutes. I planned to do some more cleaning, but I was not feeling very well so I had a quiet day. I did manage to also get my gym rings done in the evening. I will have to do the dishes and vacuum the living room this morning before my mom arrives. I have plenty of time for that though, so it's fine. Happy Thursday everyone

I did 2 dance fit classes yesterday & also walked over 5 miles.My husband was laughing at me last night as I could hardly walk I was so stiff.Luckily a good night's sleep has cured my aching legs & feet.Annoying that my weight jumped up this morning by 1 & a half pounds !!4 -
@izzyred9400 that’s a lot movement! Certainly those pounds will disappear quickly
@Pupowl I hope you are feeling better and are headache free today3 -

Wednesday: Mid week check in:
** I ate and ate some more when I wasn’t really hungry. I guess old habits die hard (No✖️)and the scale shows it…More mindless eating ahead for Thursday. My daughter and I have plans to spend the day together and then off to see the premiere of Wicked. Excited but worried for my diet.Thu✔️Weight 162.43 -
