Saw this post and thought maybe someone may need this reminder after the weekend!
It’s okay to progress slowly and enjoy life as well

It's Monday! Lots of people hate Mondays, but I consider them a fresh start to the week.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx The Kit Kats alone on your cake are tempting enough, but holy pigs in mud that looks delicious! I'm glad you let yourself enjoy a little bit of your own handiwork.
@Mrsbell8well All your food pics look amazing, and your dishes are adorable - like an English tea party every day! I'll have to dig out my china, too!
@KristieJC When I first saw your post I thought you had lost a pound and was really confused on why you said you had a bad week. Then I realized nope, that's not how numbers work. Lol. There's pre-coffee brain for ya. You have an awesome time camping and being active and don't worry about it!
@CassieGetsFit2013 I really liked the way you were able to re-frame your thinking around your small gain. You're totally right that TOM has a big effect on our weight and that you should consider only a half pound fluctuation a big win!

So for most of July I've been struggling with my own motivation and just feeling really sluggish. I'm re-starting my 8 week Fitness Blender program today, and I'm going to ease into it by doing the lower impact work in the first weeks. Part of that is because I'm also doing IF and don't want to kill it with high impact exercise only to have to wait another 3 hours before I can eat.
Maybe once school starts I'll shift the workouts to the afternoon and be able to go full throttle.
My July goals were to:
Cut down my 3 mile run time
do 15 regular push ups
do 25 hours of exercise this month
So far:
3 mile run time: recording on Sunday
regular push ups 10 (started with 6)
exercise: 15 hours (not counting today)
So I'm progressing. I'm not blowing things out of the water, but I'm getting there.6 -

Yikes!! Terrible week, gotta get focused again. My daughter and son in law came to visit and we grilled a lot and had a bunch of snacks. Out of control for too long. Tomorrow is my 36th wedding anniversary and hubby and I are going out for a nice lunch. Back to it on Wednesday.5 -
Sunday check in
Food - on target
Water - 2l
Exercise - rest day
Yesterday was ok, but I felt tired and really needed a rest day from exercise. I have the kids back in Toronto, and it is really good to have them back. I feel so bad that their activities are so limited, but we will figure it out for the remainder of the summer.
I need to run as my younger son has a minor toe nail infection and I need to pick up a prescription for him. Because of COVID, I used a new online app where you can have a virtual visit with a family doctor or paediatrician. It was such a great experience, and save us so much time and fuss about having to go to a medical office right now. It is our 18th wedding anniversary today, and we are all going out for a patio meal tonight~
@jedaschulz - I know that this is discouraging, but dont’ give up, just refocus! Happy Annversary!
@GingerPwr - I love your plan, especially the gradual way you are doing things! You can do it!
@lenka1 - Thanks for posting that quote, it is so true!
@tryingagain5 - I know that you are working hard and you are doing great!
@cassiegetsfit2013 - Great attitude and that is a win! You are doing great!
@1theresamcvean - I am so sorry that Elisabeth did not have a good experience with the clinic, but at least the surgery went well and I hope that she has a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself too!

Happy Anniversary!2 -
I saw a picture on FB that really inspired me of a Waldorf doll. It reminded me of all the dolls and fun projects I did for Skylynn when she was little. It got my crafting fever stirred up. While I was laying in the pool I had an idea of crocheting seasonal fairy dolls. I went out today to by wing material for my summer girl. I wish so much I could go home and play. I will post photos shortly.
We did fairly good for our eating plan this weekend. I did make a vegan custard pie for dessert yesterday and I am watching the clock till break time when I can eat it. I am having watermelon for dinner and going really light tomorrow to prepare for Wednesday weigh in. My goal is a 1 pound loss that will put me at 153.3 -

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Oh My Gosh!!! That piggy cake is just too delightful!
@gingerpwr what do you mean you didn't gain weight on your vacation!!! Wow! So impressive. I am so inspired with how well your doing. And I love your July game plan. We're always looking for progress vs perfection right?
@Cafelelia Happy anniversary! I am glad you are able to get a little rest and to celebrate!
@sleepymom5 sounds like you are finally getting a chance to be back to your old self. And look how skinny you are getting!
@lenka1 your weight loss is so steady just like before! great quote and great job! So glad you are back on our team.
@melaniedscott I have had these tea cups for awhile and never used them. Since I decided to start drinking 1 cup of coffee a week I thought they would be the perfect size for a small portion. They all have meaning to me. My mom gave me her wedding china, I had a best friend that was 85 when I was 50 and she gave me 3 of them (including the gold cup), 2 are from molly's mom and 1 from my aunt. Molly just brought be a pretty little yellow one today from storage that was her grandmas.
I am just craving a simpler time with lots of surrounding beauty. And a delicious cup of coffee!2 -
About a year ago I confessed to the team that I am not one for friends. I just don't really have any. Well that was then and this is now. Every day I jump on to this site to see what you all are doing. I am in awe of the wealth of friendships I now have. I feel very fortunate. You all have been there for me every day through every single occurrence in my life. When something comes up, I can't wait to share it with all of you. So this is what it feels like to have friends! XOXOXO8

@GingerPwr
Glad you're looking at what you're doing and seeing the progress, no matter how small you might think it is. I sometimes still have trouble with that too. Something for me to keep working on. Others always see my progress even when I don't.
As my trainer always tells me "progress not perfection" and "baby steps". I've worked with him 2 years and he still has to remind me of these things.2 -
Monday 7/20
Food: good
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 30 minutes
Today my exercise was 20 minutes of resistance bands and 10 minutes of bodyweight exercises. It wasn't as much fun watching my heart rate monitor today since it didn't go up as much with the resistance band part of my workout but that's ok, it's still nice to be able to see it.
My book club is meeting in 2 weeks and I'm only on page 65 of a 400 page book. Guess I better get reading. It's called "Summer of 69" by Elin Hilderbrand.1 -
@tryingagain5
I have that book in my to-read stack. How do you like it so far?0 -
Some photos from our anniversary meal. Toronto is famous for carving out summer “patios” on whatever concrete is available. Our favourite bistro is on Dundas West and they don’t have a patio. So for the lockdown, they created a patio in the parking lane in front of their restaurant. Dundas is a fairly busy street, although less so right now. We had a wonderful time, eating French food right on the street, and waving to the street car passengers as they passed by. My younger boy had the time of his life. Our older boy was at distanced football practice, so we brought a steak home fo him. It was nice to find some fun in the midst of this terrible pandemic. Stayed within my target too!
