    Team weight no more who wants to join the daily step challenge? I looked at the spreadsheet and we still have 2 spots free?

    Is it now 12 instead of 10? I see other teams seem to have more than 10?

    @carlsoda Congratulations on the grandbaby!!

    @cyndiesstuff My long term aim is to end up healthier in my 40s than I was in my 30s, but that means daily exercise and smart food choices. I feel like these have been the most consistent days of diet and exercise ever, and I'm super motivated to keep going! Short-term aim is to complete this 30 day yoga challenge without missing a day.

    Check in for Friday:

    logged and somehow under but I'm scared I forgot something.
    water 70-80 ounces
    exercise: 26 minutes of body jam and 25 minutes of yoga

    We need 2 more steppers for Team Weight No More . Thanks to @lenka1 for being on top of things!
    @twyla77 didn't you want to join?

    My aim is to have a healthy lifestyle I can maintain and still lose weight. It is something I am never going to be done with. Hopefully the losing weight part will be done but I won't be stopping what I am doing. It is going to be a way of life. I have done too many diets that are restrictive and I do lose but regain it back when it is over. It seems to work for others but it doesn't work for me. I have actually changed my exercise habits and water intake though the years and am happy with that. I struggled to drink any water, now it is my main beverage and I have 16 ounces when I get up. I also am so much more active, I never thought I would get in a kayak, bike, hike or actually use our exercise machines. There is always room for improvement but I am proud with how far I have come. I do struggling with food but have come so far since the fall that I am happy with my progress even though I haven't lost much weight. I got through the holidays and logged a loss for the month of December. I am learning to plan my meals and outings. I think this time I am going to do this for good. I have a different mindset.



    @cyndiesstuff . How frustrating! I hope you find some relief.
    @DananaNanas That's not bad at all! Keep it going!
    @Mrsbell8well You have worked so hard and have been so successful! I know you are going to stick to this healthy way of life. I love MovieChairs Blog, I also love Rudenrocks blog. I recommend her too.
    @lenka1 Thanks for catching that! They had asked what we thought about increasing the teams but never said that we were doing it.
    @eyesopennow Nice loss!
    @czvanut Another great day!!

    @twyla77 You have really been doing well. You haven't missed with that 28 day challenge!
    @carlsoda Thank you! I am going to have to get some of that to have around. I see it everywhere now. Those are great goals! I have no doubt you will reach them!

    To finish off my steps for the day, I am watching the Tidying up with Marie Kondo on Netflix. Is she the cutest?! I didn't expect her to be so young. Hope I learn something ;)

    12 day string on new plan

    Yesterday I just felt totally exhausted. I think my crazy chaotic week finally caught up with me. But I stayed the course inspite of it all. it seems to be getting easier to eat the right foods. I got the results of my blood work and all my numbers are in the normal range. My A1C (blood sugar) is finally in a normal rage! It has been borderline diabetic the last two times I had it checked. After the last blood check in March the doctor wanted to start me on medication for it. I told her to let me try and fix it thru diet and exercise first. I started paying closer attention to my macros and carbs. and now I am in the good range! Today I am getting my eyes checked for new glasses and then going to take my son grocery shopping. Then I am coming home and going to work on a few recipes i found that fit into my new food plan.

    @lenka1 thanks for catching that addition to the step challenge. they never said they were going to do it. all they ever said was do you think we should.

    @ljdanny what is IT syndrome? I am sorry your in pain. It certainly makes life more challenging.

    @eyesopennow yes! the scale went down. that is just awesome Mike. now lets keep going that way and build up your momentum.

    @czvanut what you have created is a positive forward momentum. all the things that you have been doing are pushing you forward. great job. 2019 is going to be our year.

    @sleepymom5 both you and i could not have missed them say they were going to add more steppers. they we think about it but never said they were going to do it. Its a free sight tho i guess so we can't really complain. after all we are all just a bunch of human beings. Pam you have come so far and learnt so much about what you need to be healthy. you are a rock star!!

    @twyla77 wowoo look at the string of days. your momentum is showing!!

    @carlsoda if you continue to eat and exercise it will become a habit you don't even think about. but it takes time. so don't give up, the time you spend creating these new health habits will save your life.

    Good morning team. I am feeling very thankful for this group this morning. Thanks to all who are part of the team; those who post often and those who stay more quietly in the sidelines.

    I am hoping my yoga class does not get cancelled with the snow storm we are getting in Indiana. Currently in my PJs getting ready to start a fire in the fireplace and catch up on some computer work for a while. Then off to start "Tidying." Have a great day team!

    @Cafelelia - I am spending much of my day working on the Marie Kondo method in my house too. My 3 girls did their rooms the last few days. So glad that is behind me! I get so much mental benefit from having less stuff around to deal with; especially stuff that we do not use/need.

    @carlsoda - Congrats on the new grand baby!!

    @sleepymom5 - I use the emeals quick and healthy meal plan for my dinner recipes. I love them! We eat breakfast and lunch less structured/more on our own. I usually eat leftovers and my kids eat more snack style lunches (crackers and cheese and fruit or the like). And I had the same reaction to the Tidying Up show on Netflix. She is so cute! We are working the method in our house this past week and into this weekend. I am hoping to get through my kitchen and bathrooms today. Maybe tackle the linen closet tomorrow.

    @cyndiesstuff - Awesome news about your A1C!

    Daily check in for: Friday
    Logged: Yes and on target (I think)
    Water: 80oz
    Exercise & Steps: 45 min, 5K Leslie Sansone video and 10,123 steps.

    I gave an update on the MFP newsfeed about my shoulder. In a nutshell, I need xrays and PT but nothing serious. I am a little bummed that I need to get PT, I guess I wanted them to say give it a little more time and it will be gone Lol! Oh well, sucks getting old. My days NEVER go as I plan anymore. I was planning to get my exercise in early afternoon and I ended up getting in to get my hair cut and got into the doctors so I didn't get to exercise until late. I made the sesame chicken in the crockpot which was good but I don't know why I just wasn't happy with it. First of all, the sauce was too good for the nutritional values to be accurate. It had to have more calories and carbs. I had to add cornstarch which was in the recipe but I just had a bad feeling about that Lol! Remember I am not much of a cook so it could just be in my head. Today I am going to get my exercise in first thing, then see if I have time to start my tidying. This evening we have to go to our annual dinner party at my sister in laws house. I have no idea what she is having. She doesn't like anyone to bring anything which is awkward. It always starts out with 2 drinks that I am not fond of that my brother in law makes. He is so sweet and cute that I could never refuse and all those years I faked that I liked it. Since I don't know what we are eating, I don't want to go there hungry. I think I will at least have a yogurt before I go. I also am going to drink a lot of water and sip my drinks slowly. I don't want to screw up my progress, especially with things I don't even like. I am hoping with a good workout before and not starving when I am going I will set myself up for success. Oh well...I better get going if I want to get anything done!

    *fun fact* Did you know the treadmill was initially used as a punishment for prisoners? I didn't . I was 1/2 listening to a show this am while I was on the computer and heard this. It was used to harness their power for things like milling and churning butter but it was also a punishment. Now people spend money to be able to use one! Pretty funny how things turn out!

    @cyndiesstuff That is awesome news about your lab work. Especially your A1C! What a great feeling that you were able to get it down without going on medication. Thanks for being such an inspiration! I am very lucky that I was put on your team. I learned so much and I think you even saw when that light bulb finally went on. It is hard to explain but I feel so different now. Good luck with the eye doctor. I got new glasses the other day. Shannon actually stopped in to help me pick and talked me into bigger frames. I feel like Chicken Little but am slowly getting used to them. I felt like Mrs Clause in the other ones I had for years so IDK which is better lol!
    @amsandos I love how you made a plan so you could still enjoy your pizza night. I don’t do as well with too many restrictions. You need to be able to still enjoy and occasional treat and have it fit in your plan. Glad you were able to stay away from the lemon cake too! Nice job!
    @lenka1. Fab loss! You are going to reach your goal! I know it! Great job! I was getting out of the car in an area that I have been going to for over 25 years and there was a little store I never noticed Lenka’s hairstyling. I wish I could say it was a new place but it’s not. Funny how you notice things. You are the first and only Lenka I know so guess it just never registered before yesterday. Lol!
    @phoebe112476 sounds like a nice snowy day for you. I saw the storm coming in on the news. I hope you can still get to yoga. Maybe if it is a snow day, you can try a video. I know you like the classes but maybe you can find a video you like for days you can’t get to class. I know how much you love it. So do you do the emeals recipes or do you actually do the whole thing? It sounds like a blue apron type of thing. If you do, do you like it? I keep going back and forth. You have posted so many yummy meals, it may be worth finally taking the plunge. Good luck with your tidying!

    @kirsten11872 I know once you get focused you will get that off. You have done it before! Remember to make time for yourself. You can do this! Good job getting a workout in today!
