Worked out way too much today. Feels great, for now... Tomorrow I will be hurting. Plus side, I have more than enough calories to indulge in some wine or beer!

i might have been ok but my husband made shortcake bars and to top it off drizzled them with chocolate. You might know this would happen on a rainy day when i didn't have a lot of steps.

tomorrow will be better

And 1/15 Chevy style days so that I actually maintain instead of losing now that warm weather is here and I am more active.
No soccer for me tonight, I had a meeting to attend that was scheduled months ago. I would rather coach soccer.

Welcome back to the continuing and returning friends. There are some faces we haven't seen in a number of months, which is awesome!

I gave the first of my final exams and managed not only to work while they worked, but I didn't eat any of the donuts I bought for them :drinker: Then I came home and did a 4 Mile Power walk and then went to visit my dad who is now able to swallow so he is being transitioned to taking things by mouth.

Note: For those of you who are new, my dad had a serious emergency surgery in February that occurred out of the blue. He was hospitalized for the better part of a month, in acute care for a number of weeks, and has recently been moved to a nursing home for rehabilitation. Mostly at this point he is just really weak. He passed the swallow test this week after months of not being able to swallow, and he should progress quickly now that he will have a reason to be up for longer parts of the day.

Weighed in. The same 3 pounds keep dancing on and off the scale over the last month. However, almost 2 inches seem to have melted from various parts of my body in the same period.

Although throat still a little scratchy, I felt well enough to go to Group Power (AKA Body Pump) - felt great - sadly it left the Achilles a little tender.

@Sonya - calories for indulging in wine sounds like a result.

@GMK - stairs become compulsive!!

@Scherzie - barely or otherwise, 1ml or 100mls YaY!!! ????????

@Moneil - that man needs taking to task LOL!! Tomorrow will be better.

@fionauu - some days staying hydr8ed does take a lot of energy - but MFP'rs are up to the challenge.

@Kawookie - fab news about your dad and super NSV with the doughnuts.

@R_Queenie - glad the Dutch tour was enjoyed - was there Pizza and ice-cream???

@rlstepp - best wishes for the 5k tomorrow - enjoy!!

Had a 4 hour walking tour around downtown. Burned a ton of calories so I splurged and got Chow Mein for dinner. = P Still stayed under, but I didn't drink enough water since I was out and about too much.

@GrandMaKandy - Isn't the FitBit one so much better than the zip - I really love mine

@alicesudmal - Welcome to MFP!

@bruceapple - Whitewater!

@fionauu - Congrats on a great job last month!

@Grandma - So funny I just did the "stair test" two weeks ago.

@Kawookie - you are off to a great start and really have it "dialed in".
It is so good to see that your father is steadily getting better.

@K80flec - Great to see that you are losing inches!

@KTaylormusic - Thanks for being one of the updaters! This is such a positive group.

@MelissaPhilpps - Love your plan!

@R_Queenie - That's right if you are going to have a red day make it a fun day :-)

@Rlstepp29 - Good luck on your race on Sat!

@roccovole - Welcome to MFP - it is fun here!

@moneil25 - Good luck on your "re-boot". Although I am impressed your hubby bakes!

@k80flek--there was no pizza and no ice cream. However, I was filled with good cooking, wonderful dinner rolls, turtle cake, almond bars, Dutch Letters, Dutch pastries, kettle corn, roasted vanilla cinnamon nuts, and chocolate truffles. It was delicious and full of treats that are out of my normal routine.

@kawookie--Glad that your Dad continues to makes steps back to healthy!

Off to a great start! Looks like a great group this month!

So guys, I added a welcome message because I need test subjects. I need to do too much grading in the next few days and so I had this brainstorm -- voice comments! I found an app but I need to know if it is working. Would someone listen to my welcome message and see if it works well? Thanx.

@grandma 13 flights of stairs. Awesome
