Calories?: Yes

Still tired, but pushed harder today to make it back to my normal pace.
Drone race tomorrow and Sunday. Feeling quite unprepared. With all that has been going on at home, my focus on drone racing has been almost non-existent.4 -
Good morning! It's Friday and I am thrilled!! I need a weekend of rest and relaxation and I've got one planned!!
@MayaVDM, nice loss!
@SuzanneElizabeth16, no worries. So sorry the kiddos are sick. Hope everyone is feeling better very soon. Take care of yourself, mama.

130 was my goal but at 130 I wasn't where I wanted to be. So, I moved my goal to 125 but I still don't feel this is it. I'm not where I want to be fitness-wise or weight-wise. My lowest recorded weight was 102 lbs. which, in retrospect, was not a healthy weight for me. Looking at pictures of that time, I can see I was obviously not in a good head-space.
So, a teeny loss is great. I'm eating back nearly all of my exercise calories, my endurance and pace are improving and I am learning to like running in the cold. Next up - core strength and upper body need work.

@shewhoismany, so happy you are hitting your goals. You are obviously healthier, especially after dropping the cigarettes. You're a rock! 1

I loved walking when it was snowy as long as there was little wind. The crispness is refreshing and invigorating. Can exert more energy without overheating.
It is nice to not sweat a ton! Most days are beautiful here!audreypawdrey wrote: »Today was a good exercise day! I went to yoga this morning and managed my first headstand! It was in my forearms, and it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be! I am going to try to practice more than when I am at that class! I also walked 3 miles today. There was snow on the ground still, but most of the sidewalks were clear. There were some icy spots, and it is snowing again tomorrow!
Congratulations - that is quite a feat!
@dmfaler Thank you! It is a mini goal that I had!
Thank you! He is a sweetheart!BonnieHosk85 wrote: »@audreypawdrey, cute walking buddy! 🐕looneycatblue wrote: »Beautiful photos! How did that person get onto the rock to fish???
It is a statue! Somehow the rod was bent this past summer. I don’t know if someone waded out there or it was the heat! 3 -

I am thinking 125 will be my ultimate goal! Good job on getting there! Do you have any good core workouts?3 -

@shewhoismany. You sound like you are doing fantastic. As you approach or reach goals, you determine where you need to be.
When I originally got to 154.3 (70kg) at age 50, I worked out this was not my optimum so kept going. 70kg this was the weight I had been when competitively skating at 30. I though this was a low as I could go. I was wrong. It was only when I got there that I realised this.
After over a year under 140 (63.5kg), I worked out that this is best for me (strength, endurance, fitness, self-image). I'm still 5lbs North of that, but working to get there. I am not as fit as I would like (yet) and not as strong as I would like (yet).
In the end the weight is less issue than how you feel. If you are strong, healthy and confident and happy with you in your own body (and mind), then likely you are the right weight.
Strive to be who YOU want to be, not a weight, nor a size, nor an achievement.
Sounds like you are now in the right head-space. You got this.5 -
@fe452436, your week 4 weigh-in for November was 204.5 so you actually have a 1.5-pound loss this week.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Elliptical for 30 minutes, rowing machine 5 minutes, weight machines workout 15 minutes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Hi team,
sorry this is late in the day; we are having some struggles in my family (everyone is ok, I think the holidays are just...hard...) so I am a little off. Actually, I will be honest. I am off all around. I've been doing a lot of emotional eating (candy, sweets) and not exercising at all. The good news is...these things are changeable. I know I am in control of them and will feel better changing them. Love the support of this group. I always read, even if I dont't always comment.
Onwards...

@Keepingtrack1234. Can completely relate to this. Keep being there for your family, and we'll keep being here for you.
Remember to always treat yourself well. A little time off exercise will not hurt overall strength and fitness, just be kind to yourself and get back on track as soon as you feel you can.
Hope the struggles are resolved soon and you can get back on track as well as have a great festive season.2
