Happy Sunday!

Did my early bootcamp yesterday morning, really tough.. I was tired and sore from the week, but I made it through Happy I was able to do a 1 minute plank. Lunch out, added up to way too many calories, but happy to say I did not write off the whole day, yay! I was quite full & had a very light "dinner" & remained within goal.

Today kind of similar... morning walk minus my friend, but I had my music, did some jogging as well. Breakfast didn't quite satisfy me so I had a piece of key lime pie my son got, yikes :noway: !. It had been calling out to me from the fridge. REMINDER TO SELF - always look it up before eating it! 420 calories later (1 slice) doesn't leave much for the rest of the day. So, it will be a light dinner of salmon & broccoli.

Jill, I'm in plan mode today too (mainly for meals) as its Sunday.. gearing up for the week! where are you going, any special event?

DeeTee, LOL! not sure if my HS earrings still fit! Awesome news on the garage sale & house. Sounds like you are gearing up & back on track!

Canadjineh, thanks for the water info. - sounds interesting, especially the cucumber.

Cheers to a successful upcoming week ladies :drinker:

Survived grandbaby sitting yesterday, fun but tiring! Kind of took it easy today, but have joined a June challenge so hopefully will see some changes this month!

Good morning ladies! Back from vacation in sunny Mexico. Gained 3 pounds but that's ok. Getting back on track and eager to loose more!

This weekend was a total write-off - having a horrifying period - dammit, not menopausal yet according to the medical definition. I laid on the couch with a hot water bottle, made frequent trips to the washroom, and ate out of the cupboards. This mainly consisted of toast, Laughing Cow Light cheese wedges, handfuls of raw macadamia nuts, and craisins. I did eat better yesterday and today is another good one so far. Wish me luck. Off to Aquacize this morning...

I had an awesome weekend, but was too busy to post any where. Lots of getting the yard ready for summer. But the hard work is over now. I can enjoy all my gardens (until they need weeding). Hubby bought a couple of planters of gardenia. I have never smelled something so heavenly in my life. It is throughout the house, and even into the front yard.

I did not check in over the weekend, but it was good. Went to a party held out in the country Saturday night. Surprisingly did not eat or drink too much.

Was planning on using Sunday as my off day, but we ended up cutting down two trees to use as firewood. That means a lot of dragging leaf laden limbs for a ways into our scrap piles in the woods. Not a day off! But is good to take care of that.

Another busy day, walking, gym, mowing the side yard, and dragging more limbs. At least I am getting a lot of physical activity.

Have a nice evening everyone.

Good morning and happy Tuesday everyone!

Did my workout class yesterday in spite of the rain & rain delay. Stayed on track with the eating, slow & steady.

Lis, I'm a bit like you in needing a ramp up time of a few days of high motivation to get to a more calm stage as you say. Good luck with Urologist appt... I struggle with those issues in my class when running, jumping, etc. & absolutely HATE it. I hope you get some encouraging input from both appts.

Sabower02, GREAT job resisting the temptations of the party! & awesome activities. You too Sprintto50!

Deetee, hope things calm down for you and you are feeling better!

Can't see any further back, so wishing you ALL a successful Tuesday!

Hugs! Karen:flowerforyou:

there been to both appointments and was gonna go walking but its raining so here i am. if rain doesn't stop soon ill do my yoga or try out a dvd thats high on i should get started to do but am having hard to start.

so urologist appt went really well and was so easy and natural really liked the doc. she is sending me to a (bladder) specialist that checks for stuff that has to do with training and also does some more test on how things are but most likely she thinks i be helped a lot by a small surgery that puts a band around the (what ever its called) and the scar tissue that it causes helps the muscle so leaks will stop. the whole thing is done under local so no putting to sleep and is a really easy and small thing to recover from.

The physical therapist had good news i will be seeing him 2 times a week to do some exercises that will build up the knee and i can keep walking the amount i am atm as long as pain doesn't increase. atm its like lvl 1 and only late evenings if i walked about 80 at 4miles/hour so as long as i don't do more and don't get more pain i should be fine with not having to stop walking.

also need to not do some of the yoga moves that bends and tilts the knee but thats no big deal to skip.

so great day, Thursday i see the diabetic nurse for the first time. guess she will be pleased as my values changed since i got the referral 6 months ago (I'm to se her every 6 months as long as all looks fine and more often if my values get bad) When i got the ref feral i was 167 pounds and my sugar was 6,7 and and did no exercise now I'm about 147 pounds, sugar is 5,2 and i do about 90-180 min of exercise/day.

Lis :bigsmile: :happy:

Tuesday check-in: beautiful morning, going for a nice walk and hope to get another one in this evening. Those are my favourite times to walk! Setting a small goal to drink 64oz of water as I am horrible at getting my water in. Reading the posts about urologist apts. and issues makes me think I might now be a bit thankful for having 3 c-sections as I do not have any of those problems which I believe are attributed to labour/delivery?? Starting to look/plan our move date and now the real work will begin. Garage sale is over so now need to donate the remainder and get it out, also need to sell some larger furnishings that won't be coming with us. Let the packing begin!!

Having a great day so far. Nothing special but just a good day. I love the summer high after the long, long winter. I took a day off exercise yesterday due to weather but got a good walk in with the dog this morning. It makes a huge difference in my mental state when I start my day with some exercise. Tonight is my last fencing class until September. I am going to order the proper gear tonight with the help of our coach so I won't have to use Parks and Rec stuff next year. I spend too much time sorting through the various garments to find the layers I need in my size.

Joining this group has refocused my determination, and my weight is slowly going down again. And it feels good. It's hard to keep working and working, and have the scale never budge. It's that nighttime snacking that was getting me.
