    Hey @cmac987sw - welcome to Slimpossibles! And 🎈 Hooray! What a great weigh-in! 🏆 Keep up the great work!

    @Dawda01 - Congratulations on the excellent weigh-in! 🏆

    @mrmcgrath - What a great Tuesday you had! You are being so consistent! 👍🏽

    @Wishusdonna - Big congrats on sticking to your no-alcohol plan! Nanny State Beer and Fritz Cola -- that DOES sound like an amusingly hipster place! And the late night drive with animals sounded magical! Glad to hear the pain was better, and sorry to hear sleep was not better. 🥤😎🦇😴

    @Katmary71 - Looks like you had a good day! Especially great that you found a way to sleep through the kittens! Is it bad of me to admit that this sounds liker such a charming problem to have? Lack of sleep is a real problem... but KITTENS! 🐈🐈🐈

    @its_cleo - Woohoo! What a great day!

    @TeresaW1020 - SO sorry about your tough week. I hope the funeral today goes well, and that your computer gets fixed soon. 👐👐

    Steps 11/5- 2846 (another migraine day yesterday so no movement).

    I have chronic migraines and take several medications as preventatives. And as I realize it seems like I have had a lot lately with my comments. I am SO MUCH BETTER than I used to be! I was suffering from 15-20 migraine days per month. I am down to only about 2-3 per month now. When I do get them, I am pretty down and out though. My doctor gave me 2 new abortives to try, so hoping those will help me get over them much faster when they do come on!

    I am going to try to contribute more here as I realize I don't comment very often. Thank you all for your support everyday! It really is very helpful to me!

    @leonadixon I am so happy the migraines are better overall but I certainly know how debilitating they are when they come. I hope the new meds help.

    I'm sorry to hear about your migraines but am so glad you get them less now. I hope the medicine works for you. I used to live on my closet floor when I had them, they're pretty debilitating. I look forward to hearing from you more!

    I like that idea, and have been going to my gym everyday so far this month - although it is still early days. LOL Yesterday I was pretty tired and wasn't excited about going to the gym but did anyway. I spent the 30 minutes doing some stretching and foam rolling, and felt much better for it. :)

    Wednesday check-in

    exercise- recumbent bike, elliptical, weights
    Calories under
    Water over

    5 for 90
    1. Gym 3xs a week- went today
    2. Exercise 30 minutes a day- great gym workout and ok home one. I'm focusing on strength first and made some progress.
    3. Decluttering- filled the garbage can in time to take to curb.
    4. Social media- nightly check in done, did ok today as I kept busy.
    5. Trigger foods- not a problem today, though I went a little nuts when I found a good brand of tea on sale!

    Sleep- I took what I thought was a mint at church Sunday and it was a pair of ear plugs, I tried those instead and don't seem to be allergic to them. Kittens are still waking me when they jump on the bed but the racing around for a few hours I'm sleeping through!

    Random note- if you like anise you have to try roasting fennel, I've been doing it lately with balsamic vinegar. I only had raw before this year. It's so good!

    I'm guessing you go to one of those cool rock concert churches, @Katmary71 !
    I was in one of those the other day funnily enough. One that doubles as an Arts Centre and has comedy gigs! But the drums were all laid out for the service next day. This is it.

    Checking in for Wednesday.
    Calories - apparently red zone on my app, but can only be just. It's coming up as under in the weekly view and yesterday's deficit was 428 calories. I think it goes green at 450.
    Exercise/Steps- 10216
    Water - 13/14

    One thing that has helped me with dehydration is putting Cerasport packets in my water or drinking Propel Water. Both are great at replenishing electrolytes without all the added sugar found in so many sports drinks.

    @hinemoa2088 that's great you went for 30 mins and did the foam rolling! That's what I've been doing.

    The last few days I'm just tired deom work and haven't want to go but I made it. Have done foam rolling/ stretching and very casual walks on the treadmill. But yeah it's better to move a little than not at all.

    Sorry gang burnt out from work. Will post my steps tomorrow.

    @Wishusdonna it's considered Christian music but there are guitar players in the contemporary service music so it may be considered light rock. I'd actually switch to classic if they used their organ, I played for 6 years and love organ music. I listen to a little of everything but my favorite is hard rock so my view may be skewed!

    @bethanie0825 A mountain hike sounds amazing, have a great time! I have a skinny water bottle so I can't add stuff but if yours is bigger flavored water helps. I usually drink lemon water with fresh mint and lemon wedges, sometimes add cucumber. Iced tea is great too, it got me off Crystal Light. Not sure how well those tips are for hiking though! Never heard of Cerasport, I'll have to look for it!

    @AustinRuadhain what is the audiobook you're listening to about?

    @its_cleo Way to go on working out when you haven't been feeling like it, that's hard to do especially when tired.

    @sunshineplace great loss!

    Thursday check-in

    calories- close call but workout saved me from going over!
    Exercise- recumbent bike
    Water- over

    5 for 90
    1. Gym 3xs a week- going tomorrow
    2. Exercise 30 minutes a day- done
    3. Decluttering- none today
    4. Social media- doing check-in, not bad today
    5. Trigger foods- did good as far as sugar. Had lunch out so I skipped breakfast and the salad I got wasn't as filling as my usual, I ended up eating all my calories in protein and fruit in the afternoon and skipped dinner.

    @TeresaW1020 I probably won't be able to update my steps until after the weekend. My Fitbit charger quit working and bc it's an older model, I had to order one off of Amazon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it gets here by Monday. I'm really really hoping my Fitbit lasts thru Saturday for my hike!!!! :#:#
