Saturday check in
Food-good until evening
Exercise-10 bike, 10 treadmill, 4 elliptical (ran out of time) PT, stretching and strength
I am so tired but I do have an early day tomorrow so I wanted to check in. Had a good day until dinner at 8. I was starving and over ate, then had some cookies when I came home. Tomorrow will be better. I am leaving early so between the time change and the early start, I may not be able to get on here until the evening. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!
@hope002 What awesome pictures! You look beautiful! And what a beautiful family. Is this your family that you vacation with? Looks like a fun group.
@GingerPwr It is amazing that you already have adjusted and prefer it black. That is awesome!
@Cafelelia It will be nice for you to have some warmer weather so you can run a little more often. We had such a mild and no snow that stuck. I bet we are done down here but I guess you never know up where you are.
@timibotkin I am sorry that you are going through this all over again. It sounds like you have such a caring, supportive team around you. I hope the medicine helps you get through to the biopsy and the results. I am sending hugs and prayers. xoxo
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Nice loss! I am all about balance! Look at that cake! Yum! Happy birthday to your handsome son! Thank you for the sharing the pictures!
@amsandos Yes, back at it tomorrow. Great plan! Hope you are feeling better.2 -

@Mrsbell8well
Yes, have been working a lot but only since Christmas but it seems much longer. (Before Christmas there wasn't much OT at all.)
The extra pay is nice but yes, I am feeling drained and ready to work just a regular 40 hour week. One of the other buildings doesn't have enough work right now so they've been sending some of their people over to my building so that should mean a little less OT for 3rd shift.
I do still try to fit in my activities so that I see people outside of my coworkers and I don't feel like all I do is work and sleep.2 -
@Cafelelia
It sure was a lot of OT so next week's paycheck will be really nice. Wish I could have that for a 40 hour week.😁1 -
Have generally been eating really well and drinking my water. Yesterday was a productive day - chores in the morning, followed by a little trip with the kids to a civil war re-enactment (this was held at a property that is only a five minute walk from us - the property has a long history - was visited by Queen Elizabeth 1st, King Charles and was where some of the civil war battles took place, and they have activities and games for the kids inside that teach about it history). I then went to the allotment and picked a load of purple and white sprouting brocolli (love this stuff and my plants should keep us going through spring!).
I then went to the shop quickly, but being hungry by this point I made some poor decisions - in my basket landed a chocolate and expresso cheesecake.... anyway - ended up way over calories, but back on it today.
@timibotkin so sorry you are going through this. I know what you mean about the wait being the worst - I feel exactly the same. Sending you positive thoughts xx
@lennoncpa turns out I am to cheesecake as you are with nuts! I really wish I was able to have nice things in the house without it becoming a binge fest until it is all gone.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx lovely photos! And that cake looks amazing!2 -
@kirsten11872
Great weigh in!1 -
@sleepymom5
Yes, I normally have Friday night off(for work purposes it's Saturday). It was 3rd shifts weekend. We have a rotating weekend schedule so every 3 weeks if there's work to be done we go in. I believe the next weekend for me is the 27th, unless they tell us otherwise.1 -
Saturday 3/7
Food: over
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 10 minute walk
A couple coworkers bought pizza for everyone for our lunch break but nobody knew so it was a nice surprise. After work I basically slept my morning away.
It was pretty nice here,temps high 40's but windy. A couple of my friends have dogs and we took them to the dog park. It was very busy with dogs and people everywhere. This dog park has an area for big dogs and a separate area for small dogs. There are also several walking trails in this park. I don't have a dog but the condo complex where we all live have many dogs so I don't need one. I can just go to one of the neighbors.🐶😉
My brother surprised us by coming to visit. He lives about 2.5 hours away. None of us have seen him since Thanksgiving so it was a nice surprise. My dad, brother, sister, brother-in-law and a family friend who's more like family and I were all together. We don't get together that often so it was nice that none of us had any other plans.
I had eaten an early dinner and was already over for the day but did have a couple of treats while with my family. Every one else ate when we got to the restaurant but I just had coffee while there.2 -

Sundays are a great day to prepare for the week ahead. Plan your meals, if you can food prep, get everything ready so the week goes easier for you.
I have to get moving. I have about a 2 hour drive (each way) to go to lunch with some of the friends I grew up with. I am pretty easy going and get along with most people so I have a lot of friends but in different groups if that makes sense. These are friends who wanted to get together because of Brenda too but aren't in the other group that I went to the shore with. I don't mind going back to where I grew up although it is a lot different now. Depending on the time, I may drive around the old neighborhood.
I plan to at least do PT and stretching before I go. I will be in the car a long time so it is essential or I will start feeling stiff. I will probably take a rest day depending on my step count. Hope everyone has a great day!
@JillyBT Guess you were chilly Jilly yesterday
You would think they would have mentioned that so people could plan appropriately. We went to a wedding and wasn't told part of it would be outside in by a river. My daughters and I ruined our heels. The bride wore red rain boots which were cute in pics but I wish we would have known. Glad you had a good time otherwise. Have a great day.
@Freeglerock You do so many fun things with your kids. It seems like you are starting to get into a good routine again. Even though the treats made their way into your cart Lol! You are setting yourself up for a good week. You got this girl!
@tryingagain5 How nice that your brother surprised you all with a visit! It was good that you were able to go to the restaurant with your family ,enjoy their company and have a coffee. You should be proud of yourself, that isn't easy to do. You knew you had dinner and some treats and made the decision that you were done eating. Awesome! Sounds like you had a pretty active afternoon too. Dogs are fun! Even more fun when you can get all the loving and not have to worry about the day to day things!
@ljdanny Nice steppin!! I have been thinking about you. Hope you are feeling better.
@brown6267 Well done with the steps as usual!
@amsandos I swear you are the most photogenic runner I have ever seen! Lol! You look beautiful!5 -
@Freeglerock That’s too crazy about you and cheesecake! At least they don’t sell cheesecake in every gas station and drug store ( I don’t think)!?!?! Lol2

Steps 3/7 14,653.
I decided to try doing some yoga this morning... Now that was some funny sh__! That’s definitely not in my comfort zone. Plus the little wild beasts thought something was wrong with me, they kept smelling, licking, jumping, nipping, and pulling at me. Needless to say the beagles had to go to their crate in till I finished.
It’s going to be beautiful here today! I hope to get out and ride or do some walking. I may try to get my son to go hiking with me, I’m not sure if he has to work today or not though! I hope everyone has a great day and can do something that they enjoy!5 -
@sleepymom5
It was hard to make the decision not to eat but I'm glad I stuck with just the coffee.
Yes. I love dogs just not home enough and it wouldn't be fair to the dog to be alone so much. It's great so many of my neighbors have dogs. I take care of a few of them now and then. I just walked Max, my friend's dog. He's an adorable little daisy dog. In the one picture he's looking out the window to see if his family is coming home.5 -

Saturday check in
Happy International Women’s Day!! I had a good day yesterday and was on plan and reached my water quota. I had a really nice run yesterday and did about 2.5 km. I am taking it slow and steady with the running because the last thing I want is another reinjure. So I am not doing any crazy training, but with every run, I am upping my speed naturally and gradually. It is must more slow going per kilometre than normal, but I have shaved about a minute off each kilometre since I started about a month ago. I hope to be in somewhat regular form for my 5 km in early June. It does not have to be a personal best, but I would like to get in the ball park of some of my old running times, and just complete all of this injury free. So modest goals, but they feel great! We had early morning hockey this morning and I am so tired from those darn clocks moving forward! The weather is absolutely beautiful, plus 10 and sunny, so I am heading out for a run soon!
Have a great Sunday everyone!
@tryingagain5 - Max is so adorable! I did the same thing when it came to a dog. We are out so much and travel, so I did not want to get a dog. Fortunately, our neighbours all have dogs, so my boys get to be around them a lot.
@timibotkin - More fantastic steps and good for you to try something new! Hope that you enjoy the beautiful day!
@sleepymom5 - Hope that you are enjoying the lunch today!
@amsandows - Amazing running pic! Thanks for posting!
@mrsbell8well, @brown6267 and @ljdanny - Thanks for the steps!
@Freeglerock - That’s the attitude, you just get right back in the saddle! We all fall into something like cheesecake sometimes. We have a few nice bakeries just up the street and now that my son is 13, I send him to pick up bread, so I generally avoid all of the tempting deliciousness.
@JillyBT - It can be chilly in Northern California this time of year. Glad that you enjoyed the wedding!

Went on a 3 mile walk today. Its beautiful out today. I brought my granddaughter with me so I think from pushing the carriage I probably didn't get all my steps but my exercise still counts. She got grumpy towards the end and I had to carry her shes only 11 pounds but that gets heavy after half a mile. With the weather getting nicer I'm going to try and get out almost daily.3

I'M LITERALLY GOING TO CRY!! 😭😭 I did so good throughout the WHOLE week! I even did some dog walking...I DID start my period so this is my 3rd day, but I was REALLY hoping despite being on that, that I would still lose SOMETHING! Even if it was just a few ounces or something. Now I'm so depressed, ugh! 😔

Hi all,
@theresamcvean1 - I'm so sorry for your loss, sounds like your family is really going through it at the moment. Take care x
@Mrsbell8well - the shakshuka is really nice Basically peppers, red onions, tinned toms, garlic, bit of cumin and paprika. I do it all together in a frying pan then make holes for the eggs, crack them straight in and cover for about 5 mins. Great for a 'just in from work, low effort' type meal. Also, while it's amazin to excel, I think it's often more motivating to be someone who is just human, who struggles sometimes, even fails, but keeps going and gets back up again xx
@hope002 - looks like a fun group! You look fab - it feels like forever since I've dared to wear a bikini. Will have to add it to the goals list lol.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - great photos, though that cake just looks like temptation in chocolate form
@sleepymom5 - enjoy your lunch
@timibotkin - my cats are a nightmare if I'm exercising at home, they have to come investigate everything! I think there's actually dog yoga workouts on Youtube, could add your little uns in
@CassieGetsFit2013 - I'm so sorry you're feeling frustrated, have def been there. The scales are baffling sometimes and let's face it often seem to make no sense - could be water weight, could be TOTM, could be strange parallel universes at play. Either way, it will come off eventually so do try and stick with it (I know sometimes I lose nothing for weeks and then it seems to drop pounds overnight). Hang in there x
Woohoo, what a great overall loss for the week, and we're topping the boards! Congratulations to all
Been a bit of a lax weekend so tbh I'm not holding out too much hope for the scales tomorrow. Stayed under calories today but friends are trying to persuade me to go out for a bit, which may be fun but def not in the diet plan!2 -
And my broadband has gone again. It is the bloody printer. I printed off my swim set and it is gone.
Kitten!. Didn't have great day fod wise but I am enjoying my work outs. Although it is TOM.
@sleepymom5 only in the pics I let you see🤣1 -
Sunday 3/8
Food: I know I'm over just not sure how much, haven't looked up the calories for some of the things I had at my dad's for dinner. He made a few different things than we normally have when it's just the two of us.
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 20 minutes low intensity exercise, 10 minute walk with my little doggie friend, Max
My brother spent the night at my dad's. We both had dinner there so that was nice. My brother asked me if I had lost weight, he said it looked like I had. I haven't seen him since Thanksgiving. Too bad I don't remember what I weighed then. It was a nice compliment, especially since I've been having a little trouble the last couple of weeks, especially on the weekends.
After dinner I went home to sleep for the afternoon. Starting work at 8:30 tonight. Really hoping the OT will slow down a little.4 -
Well done for the win last week team! And some nice losses in here too!
@CassieGetsFit2013 the scale is a big fat liar and you can't trust it, especially during TTOM. It is a reflection of your relationship with gravity, and when it shows a 4 lb gain that you know isn't fat, just move on. I find it helps to say a big "F you" to the scale and just go on being my awesome self. Because that number will not define me. And I keep going no matter what, eventually my weight will reflect that. Once during my epic weight loss journey of 160 lbs, I had the scale go up 6kg / 13.2 lbs overnight. And it took 3 months, yes 3 months, to go back down again. To this day I have no idea what the heck that was about. I have super accurate scales. I wanted to cry. But I kept going. And I lost another 50 lbs or so after that.4 -
Sunday 3/8
Food: on track
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: rest day, PT and stretch
I had a very nice lunch with my friends. We talked for over 4 hours. I ended up going back and driving around my old town and stopping in to see my uncle for a little. It was a lovely day but very long and a lot of driving. I actually had a pretty good weekend overall. I will check in again in the morning.
Congratulations to us! Great job this week! Special congrats to @kirsten11872 (I knew you would take it all!), @Freeglerock and @podperson1 What a great start to March!
@Cafelelia Of course you would have an early hockey game when the clocks move ahead. You are really making progress with your running. I think you are doing it the right way and it will pay off down the road.
@timibotkin That yoga session must have been funny with the dogs getting involved lol! Hope you were able to get out for a nice walk.
@tryingagain5 Max is so cute! It is so nice that you walk him for your neighbors.
@ljdanny It is so nice you could get out today and even bring your granddaughter with you. It will be nice to start having nicer weather.
@CassieGetsFit2013 Don't let the scale derail you, just keep doing what you are doing. It is probably because of the TOM and you will have a nice drop next week.
@podperson01 Hope you were able to go out and have fun!
@amsandos Oh no! I hopIe it gets fixed soon! I am glad to hear your workouts are going well
@tryingagain5 It is so nice that your brother noticed your weight loss. In November you started at 193.6 and ended the month at 189.4. If you want me to send you the rest of the weights I can. Hope you had a good night at work.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx It is nice that we have another supportive member!

Checking in for Monday 9th - food tracked and under, water 2 L, exercise 55 minutes of spin bike and elliptical, split between 5.30am before work and 6pm after work.
I really need to find time to comment on individual posts in here but I'm finding myself so busy. Suddenly all four of my kids have extracurricular activities and two have jobs reffing basketball as well, and I'm either working, fitting in a work-out (very important!!) or being mum's taxi service!
It's 11pm and alarm will go off at 5.30am to get son to basketball talent program at 6.15... I'm trying to convince hubby that he should take son so that I can get into the gym instead! But to be fair this is twice per week and I made him go both times last week. 😆 Still, I'd rather be in my gym!
Have a good, positive day everyone!
