1/18: 10,6183 -
Sunday weigh in: 202.2
Could've been worse. I have no idea how many calories I ate at the party last night. I also had a glass of tequila punch that had tea, habaneros, pineapples and mint in it. How do you even? I didn't try.
Predictably, the awkwardness of being in a loud, hot room full of strangers drove me to eat. I tried to stick to mostly carrot sticks, but there was guacamole and salami and Star Wars themed cupcakes.
Fortunately I did get a chance to chat with someone I do know a little so it wasn't all awkward.5 -
Well, gang - we had a pretty sad week compared with the other teams, but we still were in the green as a whole anyhow. There have been times when that was not the case, so we'll put on the (smallest) tiara! We lost 13.7 pounds in week 2, and so far in January we collectively have lost 60.5 pounds. That's an average 9 year old girl. So we have gone back 9 years, right???? By the end of the month, we might have lost a mouthy teenager. Or an aging labrador retriever.
Our top 3 for the week were:

@deniners2
@ElleBellesTheoBear

So, our weekly team results weren’t fabulous. Tiny 👸🏻 But we all know we had wins just the same.
Here is my challenge to us all, please write three things you will do differently this week to get us to all green. We won’t be perfect, but we can do better. Checking in here daily helps us all stay motivated too.
1. I will bring my daily calories down a bit. Some days I was closer to 2,000 than my goal.
2. Watch my salt 🧂 intake.
3. Get to the gym 3x. And home exercise the rest of the week.
I will do these things plus all the logging, water 💦 drinking, and steps I’ve been doing.3 -
Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I had a wonderful day yesterday - a big long snowshoe up in the woods, buying a bathing suit (YIKES! but it was actually fun), my son came up for dinner - a lovely and quiet day.
So now I'm about to do tallies. Happy Sunday, everyone!
Happy belated @jugar and many more!1 -
The temperature went up 20 degrees while I was in the gym.
So now here's a sixth random fact about me: I broke my left hip when I was 13 or 14, in a series of unfortunate events involving a horse. Now it hurts when the weather changes. Bet I'm the only person under the age of like 80 you've heard that from. =P4 -
Well I know I’m late to the 5 random facts but are a few
1) sixth child of eight
2) might have been considered a witch in the sixteenth/seventeenth century, if you get my drift
3) got my first gray hair at 17
4) love blackballs, I’d eat them all day long if I could
5) once made a one day business trip to Australia. I flew into Melbourne for an 11 am meeting and left late afternoon to come home. Talk about confusing.4 -

Today is a self care day because..........it's SLEEP OVER NIGHT AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE! (insert angel's singing 👼) The kids leave in a few hours and my husband and I get the house all to ourselves. Went out for a 50 minute snowshoeing trip this morning with my doggy. My husband and I are going to get a hummus appetizer in the early evening and then we're getting a 90 minute couples massage. Then were bringing home a small pizza to have with a salad I made earlier. I am so excited!
3 things/habits I'm working on this week.
1. I live kind of on the side of a mountain so internet options are limited (no wifi). I just got one of those magical devices you plug into your tv and it shows what is on your phone. Going to start some morning workouts with videos I'm downloading. Fingers crossed it works out. Usually I end up waking my kids up and they all sit on the couch and stare at me while I work out! LOL
2. Try some Mediterranean dishes from my new cookbook
3. Swap snacks like sweets and salty crunchy things for fruit or low fat cheeses.6 -
@conleywoods You self care day/night sounds wonderful. What lucky kids and lucky mom and dad. Enjoy yourself.
@AmyRobF, my niece, has no internet either. Maybe she has ideas too.
@Gidgitgoescrazy It is so valuable to listen to your body. You will do better in the long run.3 -
Steps for 19/1 - 2,239. Very abysmal! That's what happens when I have access to a car!
3 things I'm doing this week -
1. Stay under my calorie goals
2. Do some exercises other than walking
3. Drink 2 litres of water daily5 -

Good idea. We all need to step up our game just a bit.
I will do these 3 things this week:- Cut up the hours of sitting or relative inactivity more - I get really intense exercise, but then spend an awful lot of time moving very little. Mornings are the worst, so this week I will make sure to have 30 minutes of exercise (probably Pilates) before 11:30 am.
- No flour products all week. None.
- Use the calendar for both planning AND execution. I often feel so good that I have planned that I don't actually follow through. Get those check marks!

I fractured my pelvis training for a marathon about age 33 (12ish years ago). I now know what people mean about "the weather changing."4 -
Today’s steps: 3,680
Lots of amazing music at church today which added to the sitting factor.
I’m starting the new job tomorrow - at least the form intake part. My classes start this week,too, so it’s even more critical I get more exercise because my sitting/studying bouts will increase - as long as its not my butt increasing! LOL!
Three things I’ll do this week...let’s see.
1. add pre-Pilates & morning stretches so I can be ready for full Pilates in a week or two.
2. Stock the fridge with more veggies and prep them for lunches (school & work )
3. Use my wee blue plate for breakfast and lunch to be better aware of food quantity.
Time to sleep.
More tomorrow.
