    Hey y'all:

    How was your day today?? Seeing lots of great step counts…WTG peeps!!!

    My day at work was busy and I wasn't quite feeling myself…stayed quiet as much as possible when you're pulled into phone calls and meetings at the last minute. Way too much time wasted in meetings…UGH! Still, got quite a bit done today and plan on hitting it hard again tomorrow…walked to relax when I got home…feel much better…and ate a great dinner, so getting ready to lie down for a bit I think.

    Hope you all have a terrific Thursday!

    Jessica

    Dang, I'm having the hardest time getting under 140. I'm pretty stuck between 142 and 144. I felt like this was a good week, both with food and exercise. My only guess is portion sizes are a bit too big. And maybe the mindless snacking of crackers while the kids eat. I started calorie counting again a couple of days ago, so hopefully I can fine tune my diet a bit.

    Appreciate your comment so much!…oh and when you find something you want to quote, highlight it, CTRL-C, then go down to an empty comment box, click the QUOTE symbol, select quote, then next to the little grey box, CTRL-V. Hit return to go down a line and there's your quote…write whatever you wanted to say, add the ampersand symbol and type the person's name somewhere in the post to tag them (to find your message) and that's it. Once you get used to this process it's easy…

    Thank you, @jessicakrall8 💕

    @Tomsgal1985 Thanks for your kind words…I was so excited, I literally hugged my scale. Makes the hard work all worth it when you have those little moments of happiness!

    Still, anyone who hasn't struggled with weight issues probably won't understand…I still feel hungry ALL THE TIME. At this point in my life, I think I always will and that's the hardest part…stopping when you want to continue eating…I've learned though to fill my plate, put all the food away, clean up the kitchen BEFORE I sit down to eat. Then as soon as I finish eating, I find something else immediately to do…

    But if I want to live and live without pain, I've got to continue to take this weight off…some days are harder than others…

    I did it! I had to do it on my computer, but it worked!! Thank you, @jessicakrall8

    Also, thank you so much for sharing your strategy!

    Thursday outside walk


    I’ve been reading up on Japanese/Interval walking training and was curious if anyone has tried it?

    Thanks

    I was unfamiliar with that terminology, but the concept is not unique. The purpose is to get your heart rate into zone 5 for short bursts. This is anaerobic vs aerobic exercise, and it's been shown to help improve your cardiovascular system, especially your VO2max. Whether it's muscles or cardio system, to improve it, your body needs to be pressed to it's upper limits in order to trigger an improvement.

    Some common forms of HIIT (high intensity interval training) are:

    • Tabata: 8 rounds of 20 seconds of intense exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest.
    • EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute): Perform a set number of repetitions of an exercise at the top of each minute, then rest for the remainder of the minute.
    • AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible): Complete as many rounds as possible of a set of exercises within a predetermined time limit.
    • Ladder: Gradually increase the intensity or duration of the exercise over time, then decrease it in the same way.
    • Sprint Intervals: Alternate between short bursts of high-intensity sprints and longer periods of recovery — can be done in walking, running, cycling, swimming, etc.
    • Bodyweight HIIT: Use only your body weight for exercises such as push-ups, squats, and lunges.

    There are benefits to be derived from moderate exercise as well as vigorous exercise. Best practice is to do both. And while you're at it, don't neglect balance and flexibility.

    I sometimes do tai chi slow walking. Here's an example:
