I think the Earth’s gravity increased this week. 😉🙃 It’s only a temporary glitch. It will be back to its normal gravitational pull next week hopefully.3

No matter what gravitational waves are doing on your part of the planet, just send in the number, and we'll all deal with it! Good, bad, or whatever - send them on in. Then, when you have done that - check out the next post and have fun with it!1 -

Steppers, I am missing a lot of steps. Blanks in the middle of the week when other days have been reported. I may have missed it, but I really did look. Promise.

1. I had my best stepping day since I've been tracking today. 15,037 right now.
2. I got married when I was 19 and have been married 36 years. I said yes after dating him a month and a half. (Geez, that's crazy!)
3. I am a Lifetime member of Weight Watchers (lost 50 pounds in 1992), but haven't been back there in years.
4. My favorite place is Point Lobos State Park near Carmel, California.
5. I have been an aunt since I was 3 and 1/2. @AmyRobF was the flower girl in my wedding and I was the flower girl in her mother's (my sister) wedding.2 -
Hi Robert - I had your last week weight as 183.2 - so you stayed the same, according to that. Is that right? Your starting weight was 186. Thanks!robertefortier536 wrote: »PW 182.8

#1 - fabulous! That is indeed an amazing day for steps. Wear the tiara!
If you had been my daughter getting married at 19 after a month and a half, I might have shut you in your room for a few months. Glad it worked out!!3 -

@jugar Well, we got engaged after a month and a half. (I was 18 then) But we waited a year before getting married. My mom’s concern was that I wouldn’t finish college. I did. I was the first to go in my immediate family. Oh, and my husband is almost 10 years older than me. I don’t think I would have married someone my own age that young.
I lived 3,000 miles away from her so no locking in rooms. LOL She met hubby in person less than a month before the wedding when we moved back to the East Coast.2 -

Result!! This is fantastic - and shows once again how those "small" changes can make a big difference. Not that giving up bread is small! And adding no candy or dessert - tough sometimes. Meatless is easy compared to that! But 2.2 pounds - worth it. WTG2 -

Sorry guys ☹️ it’s been a rough week for me. This has always been my main problem not having a routine for school. I haven’t messed up on eating anything bad like I’m used to lol my problem is I’m not eating enough and especially drinking enough while at work/clinicals. Not having enough time to sit down and eat is challenging at the moment and I totally didn’t exercise at all this week. Next week will be better. I know I can do this!
@mrs_chivonne Monday’s are my worst days at work for having time to eat. I never get time to sit down and eat my lunch. I try to bring things that can fit in my pocket so I can eat between cases. i.e. Think Thin protein bar or ONE protein bar, bag of almonds. Or things that I can eat real quick as I pass through the break room and don’t have to heat up i.e. hard boiled egg already peeled, protein shake, peanut butter (yes I carry a jar of peanut butter in my lunch bag 🙈) sometimes I say I’m going to the bathroom but really go eat and drink something 😂3 -
Here is a fun thing that Team Shrinking Assets has been doing for a couple of days. I thought we might need a bit of quirky info about each other - you never know when it might come in handy!
I'm thinking...
1) I'm an only child.
2) I have a bachelor's of science in geography (talk about your useless degrees amirite).
3) I met my husband when I was 17. I have never dated anyone else.
4) Two years ago I got laser eye surgery because I hated my glasses. It was the scariest thing I've done.
5) I speak a small amount of Japanese. We spent 2 weeks in Japan a few years ago and I made a bunch of friends just by knowing how to complain about the weather.

I totally forgot about posting my weight yesterday. I hope it's not too late. I was up a little bit this week at 203.1lbs. Hoping next week is better.3 -

No problem! And I wish you a better week - many of us had a bit of a disappointment this week. We have to get back on a bit more strictly - we know what to do!1 -
1) I'm an only child.
2) I have a bachelor's of science in geography (talk about your useless degrees amirite).
3) I met my husband when I was 17. I have never dated anyone else.
4) Two years ago I got laser eye surgery because I hated my glasses. It was the scariest thing I've done.
5) I speak a small amount of Japanese. We spent 2 weeks in Japan a few years ago and I made a bunch of friends just by knowing how to complain about the weather.
Cool! I wish laser eye surgery were the scariest eye surgery I have ever had! Isn't it great afterwards though? And I bet there are lots of degrees less useful than a BSc in geography. That actually sounds super interesting. Beats medieval literature, at least.
OK. Here are my random facts:
1. I was born totally deaf in one ear. I am a professional musician.
2. I speak four languages (two well, two enough to get by) and can complain about the weather in two more.
3. Unlike @micki48 and @Terytha I didn't meet my husband until I was just about to turn 36! We didn't waste much time, though - I moved in five months later, we had our daughter when I was 38, and adopted our son when I was 44 (he was 2). We drive each other crazy but wouldn't be able to put up with anyone else - so we'll stick with it!
4. I do NOT like chocolate.
5. Some day, I want to go to the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. I might settle for the Lesser Slave Lake in Alberta - it's closer to where my daughter lives now! But I have always wanted to see the Great Slave Lake ever since I learned about it when I was a kid. I have friends in Yellowknife, and I'm going to make it happen! I also have absolutely no idea why I want to do this. But I do.7 -
5 Random facts about me:
1. I am the eldest of 6 children - 3 boys and 3 girls.
2. My husband is the YOUNGEST of 6 children - also 3 boys and 3 girls.
3. I have a little dog called Edie - a Jack Russell terrier who loves my husband almost as much as I do.
4. I make things in my spare time - knitting, quilting, jewellery and cufflinks.
5. I am going to 4 weddings this year.7 -
Here is a fun thing that Team Shrinking Assets has been doing for a couple of days. I thought we might need a bit of quirky info about each other - you never know when it might come in handy!
I'm thinking...
1. Like @Terytha, I'm an only child.
2. I'm currently dating my exhusband after being divorced for 10 years. We're enjoying the journey even more the second time around.
3. My exhusband and I have known each other since the age of 2...nearly 50 years. We grew up together in the same church.
4. I love grape jam, NOT jelly. I believe there is a distinct difference!
5. I tend to be a workaholic. Jeff, my exhusband, is determined to teach me how to relax. Lol6 -
