@lindamtuck2018 I think this is incorrect.... my weight on the spreadsheet was entered incorrectly --- it should be 175.8 not 174.8. So I don't think I'm on the top 3. It's actually YOU who's in 3rd place! Congrats!!
I am so sorry! I try to be so careful when entering the data. I will post the correct top three tomorrow.2 -

No problem, you worked so hard, and did so well, you should be recognized for it!

Nov 8th Check in
* Track food ✅
* Stay under calorie goal ✅
* Not restrict ✅
* Drink 2L water minimum ✅
Walks this week- 0 (goal of 3)
I swear I always get pre-weigh in nerves. I have been on track all week, even kept my salt to a minimum the last few days. So fingers crossed. I would LOVE to see the 330's... it's been a long time, at least 18 months.
Today was a long day at work. I am finding it easier to be on my feet, I still struggle to bend into the fridges, but give it another 100lb or so and I'm sure that will be gone completely (I hope!)
The last few days have been really rough. my mental health took a huge dip. But today I felt a bit better. It's just this bloody covid stuff. I was meant to go home for the first time in 4 years just last month, and I didn't go because of the pandemic. I live in Canada but all of my family are in the UK... and now they are all in lockdown again. I'm hoping to surprise them with a visit in time for my Mum's 60th birthday in June (but shhhhhhh don't tell anyone lol)
I am hoping to go for a nice pedi on Thursday, if my friend is up for the trip. it's been a good few months and I could do with the pampering Especially since I am walking more- I need to look after my feet!
Talking of walking- today's steps are 7610!
It's meant to be a nice day tomorrow so might take a walk in the evening. Or in the morning if I'm up early enough4 -
11/09 = 13,854 steps
Under calories!
I walked & did Zumba
We have been so lucky that our weather has been lovely. It’s turning cold tomorrow. I’ll need to find more indoor activities.
I need to plan healthy meals - I know that’s key.5 -

Blessed Tuesday teammates. Yesterday, I had to take my son in to see the doctor as his tummy had been very bad and he had a sore throat. As many y the first thing I worry about is COVID-19. I was able to take him in to see our general practitioner and he suspects a stomach bug and the Halloween sweets didn’t help with the cramping and diarrhea so no more sweets for awhile which he’s pretty disappointed about 😖. He must stay home from school for 3 days and he has a note back to school that he has no COVID symptom and can return. Thank god he didn’t need to do the test. His poor little nose 😔
Today I’m heading in for a second bandage change at my surgeons office. Let’s see what he says about how I’m healing so far. One thing is for sure is that all my swelling is going down because the numbers on the scale have dropped quite a bit since my weigh in on Saturday. Fingers crossed I can keep this weight down until my next weigh in.
November goals:
•Achieve at least 30 active minutes daily.
•Drink at least 2L water daily.
•Reach at least 10,000 steps daily.
•No Carbs for dinner.4 -

Ahh fingers crossed for you to be able to my see your family next year. It’s certainly been such rough times with this horrible virus. France has locked the the same as UK and it’s so hard not being able to see our friends and family. Good thing we have today’s technology and we can still video chat with our loved ones. Have a wonderful walk. Let that fresh air heal the soul and calm your weight loss worries. ❤️I walked & did Zumba

I need to plan healthy meals - I know that’s key.
I so miss my Zumba classes. I miss all my workouts actually. I can’t work out at the moment anyways but with everything shut down, there is nothing available even if I wanted to go. make the most of it and enjoy it to the fullest ❤️💪🏻

@lindamtuck2018
Thank you so very much!! You do not sound like a broken record at all. I really appreciate the notice that you take. I laughed out loud when I saw the woman in the drs office with one foot on the scale & the dr saying "the other foot too." I totally can relate.

Hi. Sorry that you will be unable to go home and visit the family, but the June trip sounds like it will be a great surprise! I relate about the bending and such. At my weight, bending over is no joke! I'm also looking forward to losing more weight and being able to move more easily! I hope you have a nice pedi! Always a good idea to treat yourself once in a while!2 -

Happy Monday. I hope everyone has a good week!
I love the idea of the virtual coffee1 -

How difficult it is to be far away from the family and everyone we love. But fingers crossed for that birthday!
And a nice pedi feels like you are a goddess when someone is giving a massage in your feet mmmm1 -

I send my Fitbit to repair again and soon I will have it too. It's completely different the feeling with them and how much they help😊
Great loss1 -

One day of rest sounds good. I get completely the feeling of not being productive but the body needs to rest. My trick is to put the rest as a challenge.1 -
Yea Ziortza a stomach bug. B.R.A.T diet and lots of fluids until he’s better. If he doesn’t get better he goes back in for a check up and possibly antibiotics but we don’t want to have to do that 🤞🏻mari_moulin wrote: »

I didn't know about the Brat diet either https://www.healthline.com/health/brat-diet Thanks 😁
Ginger, start anis and chia seeds are also great help.

Good morning everyone
Today I decided to make it my day and give to my body what my body wants.
And so far is working.
I woke up when my body wanted and I must say that even the scale liked it. I went 1,8 kg down from yesterday.
I prepared my breakfast and sit while eating it impressive
I took my time to read all of you. I cleaned a bit. Not much at the time.
And I have been cuddling my cat for a really long time.
I'm going to do some important things that at the same time are creative and enjoy while doing it.
I wanna have a positive vibe day and do what I need to do but in slow motion.
So far it feels good. Even the cravings are gone.
I have until 17:00 for myself 😊
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Steps:
1) 11.750 steps
2) 8.716 steps
3) 4.594 steps
4) 9.352 steps
5) 6.299 steps
6) 7.343 steps
7) 5.602 steps
8) 17.164 steps
9) 18.743 steps
And...
What is your favourite sport to do at home?
