Good morning team 🤗
I was just thinking about my mini goal for this month which was to lose 7lbs. I’ve lost 6lbs so far this month and I feel like moving the goal posts a bit. My new mini goal is to have lost at least 10lbs by the end of April. I like to challenge myself and if I just keep doing what I’m doing, I know it’s attainable 💪 Let’s see if I can shift these 4lbs in 13 days 😊
@o0kody0o It's a good feeling when you blow past your original goal and have to adjust it, great job!!1 -

I did the same ifit treadmill workout today that I did yesterday except I didn't allow it to incline this time. I might do a partial incline the next time. I can't believe they call that an easy beginners workout....no way.
@CindyJNC1963 It's always hard at first, you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll adapt!! Great job for finishing your workouts!!1 -
Finding it hard to curb my cravings. Expecting TOM soon so I hope that this is why. Still a struggle for me.
@vicky2767 I am in your same boat right now, the cravings are strong, I'm days away from my visitor and not thrilled about that, holding water, feeling super hungry....yep, I understand, hang in there....0 -

Hit my steps goal again today😃: 22,424 / 11.58 miles
Haddock for dinner; this is a pict of my sons plate---I didn't eat the sides shown, (twice baked bacon-cheddar potato, broccoli & riced cauliflower) just the fish . Stonewall Kitchen Habanero Mango Aioli is really good on haddock--and easy to bake (25 minutes).

Hey fellow spinners! When I first started - yeah it was kinda sore.. but it goes away. I don’t use a cushion anymore.
Tip - don’t stay in position 1 that long. (Seated)
You can save your bum by alternating between position 2 and 3 - here is a cool article that explains the positions...(which you may already know) but I thought it was an interesting article.

Today was a tough day for me since it was my Dad's memorial of when he died last year. But had my appt with my psychotherapist today and proud I didn't binge eat, as you know with emotional eaters. Instead I purchase a memorial flameless candle with the saying from the memorial cards from His funeral and I printed photo labels of our time together and candle was lit.
Couldn't really enjoy it as by the time I got home from my MRI appt I was so drowsy from pain meds I barely was able to eat my dinner befire I was out. But woke up at 10pm and all the pain is gone thank goodness and my candle is still lit so that makes me smile.
TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY STILL STAYING POSITIVE6 -

Did you find the cushion helped? I haven’t tried it out yet but will do in a bit. I felt bruised after using the bike, so let’s hope this cushioned seat cover does the trick!

Thank you, I needed this! I’m going to apply some of these tips to my workout tonight and hopefully it’ll be much more comfortable. If I’m honest, I had absolutely no idea about posture when spinning, I just went for it. So this will definitely come in handy. Thanks again 😁
