    @Pearl4686 is there a healthy snack or drink you can turn to when stressed? Blueberries, grapes, carrots? I find a cup of hot tea works wonders!

    June 15 steps =2629 

    June 16 steps =10,069

    steps not good yesterday.
    I am ok with it because I needed rest day. Today I spent too much time in car and ate too much. I just Jogged on the rebounder to get my steps at least to 7000. I’ll post today’s steps later, maybe I can motivate myself to walk

    *update. Made myself get more steps in. I want to have more weekly steps then last week.

    @energyseeker great job getting more steps in! And the only person you are competing with is yourself. I love your goal for this week!

    I was lower on Sunday, but will take this! Now if only I can keep losing weight and not hover between 198-200 lol.

    Today was very hot, but I still went for my walk. I made sure to drink water before and after. Tomorrow will be a gym day hopefully, then Thursday I have my book club.

    @lauren_989 back in one-derland! way to go

    Insurance update: I got (most) of my money reimbursed today, so that's settled. phew.

    Just finished dance cardio with the gals, my kitchen is clean, and I'm ready for a shower and bed. I have a pretty early meeting tomorrow so I have to be on time with bed. I have Thursday off this week and I am so looking forward to sleeping in, and kayaking!

    Well the past 2 days have been good, I did not exercise, my body was sore from the pilates/yoga, whew, I feel better today, so I will do 30 minutes on the treadmill when I get home.

    I have some exciting news in the kitchen dept. Tomorrow countertops get installed, Friday appliances are installed, Saturday the plumber comes and hooks everything up. Monday backsplash is installed, and next Friday the electricians come. So in less than a week I will have a fully functioning kitchen. And aside from a few punch list items, like trim, paint touch ups, oh and some tile work, it will be done, I am SO excited, I had no idea the end would happen so quick, but I am so happy about it, when the installers called me yesterday and were like so we are going to template the backsplash directly after putting in countertops, and install on Monday, is that okay ? I coulda kissed them, I thought it was going to be another 2 weeks.

    Thank you for the snack suggestions. I do like snacking on fruit but need to make a point of it. I have heard about the benefits of tea but I have never been a tea drinker, I'm a coffee girl. Maybe I should give teas another go.

    I have been better with food the last few days and have managed 2 good workouts.

    @Alatariel75 you're not letting the team down!! never the case. I have also never been a gym workout person. I used to use a completely free workout video app called "FitOn" that I still recommend, especially if you are in a rut. They have so many types of workouts, and a lot of the videos are very short (they don't typically include a real warm up or cool down tho), so it doesn't feel like such a hurdle to press play. All home/living room-friendly. And the trainers all have really good energy! But if that doesn't appeal, maybe don't think of it as "slipping" - sometimes our bodies need a reset. You've been doing some really active things lately, impressively so! Maybe walking the pup daily can be enough for a few days or weeks. You can always build muscle up again. Sending hugs, friend.

    @lauren_989 those zucchinis!! they make me want to make fritters (not very calorie friendly ones haha - but hey, there's a vegetable involved at least)

    I had an okay day. My dinners from the meal kit have still been great this week (sausage cacciatore with gnocchi, tuscan steak & mashed potato, and a roasted chicken & broccoli with creamy rice bake), but I still find myself reaching for snacks when I get home, and ocassionally getting a bit out of control. Don't love that. I am doing well with my protein goal at least, but shouldn't that mean I am more full and less in need of snacks? It's such an ingrained habit of mine to get home from work and just munch… ugh

    Upper body workout was good, though. My brother got me 15 lb dumb bells for christmas and I am finally working up to using them on select movements!! *flexes weakly * 😅

    It is going to be HOT here tomorrow, so I better not sleep too late - want to be out on the kayak before the heat really sets in.

    @Alatariel75 You are not letting anyone down, stop that. You stay here, and offload as much as you need. Have you looked into maybe a support group, maybe it could be beneficial to chat with others who have been through this and maybe have some good coping mechanisms.

    We are in line for a heat wave here too, like 100's and humid, it's been really rainy the past few days, but today is the last day I believe, it's so humid though, it makes the outside stink, its not a nice earthy smell, it's plain old musty, moldy smell. lol My flowers are super happy though !
