@Megan_smartiepants1970 -11/10 4813 11/9 10331 Thanks for all the work you do keeping track of this!
I am having a tough time posting every day, it seems like when I got off schedule over the weekend getting back on schedule hasn't happened, yet. I've gotten to bed 2-3 hours later than usual for 3 nights in a row and I can tell that not sleeping enough has affected my eating. Plus, I really didn't feel like walking today (poor pups) so the steps are grocery store steps and bathroom breaks. With it getting dark early I see that I'm wimping out and not walking if it is dark. I'm getting them in early tomorrow. I did go back and read all of the postings I've missed and I just love hearing about everyone's progress, exercise habits, new apartments, moving tips, and more! I hope your day was good and have a great Thursday
Missing steps from you for 11/8 ...I might of missed them and I apologized if I did
Hi Megan. I'm somewhat concerned about how doing the postings is impacting your sleep. It sounds like it's making you stay up later. Hmm. What to do... Can there be two people doing this work? Maybe sharing the load. Just wondering how it could be better. You really are doing a super job, but you need your sleep and you need to be focused on your own health and wellbeing. I hope you have a super day!
Thanks for your concern but I think you got me confused with @363days0 -
Yesterday I went for a walk with friends it didn’t seem every long, weather was cloudy but warm and humid and I also cleaned the house. I got lazy and didn’t do my boxing workout as planned when I got home or cook dinner. Going to try to do boxing and strength workout shortly once I finish my coffee since no walking today with rain.
Well done walking with your friends. That must have been why it didn’t seem long as you had great company. I hope you can get to your boxing workout today 💪🏻lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Yesterday, I ended up walking further than planned. According to my Fitbit it was a total of 43 minutes. I was walking to meet my granddaughter for lunch and I was almost there. I realized I had lost my keys. I had to retrace my steps until I found them. I was almost back home before I found them. 🤷♀️ If I didn’t have to but my Fitbit on the charger I would have a lot more steps. The pain level was a bit rough on the way home from our lunch and the rest of the day but not near what it used to be. I don’t know if the medications are starting to work or my pain tolerance is getting better. I am going to walk again today. That will be 3 days in a row. Yay me!
I had no binge last night. I have been really hungry all week. I think it is from all the takeout and mindless snacking Friday and Saturday. So I was hungry when I went to bed. It is meal planning day and I am going to search for a new recipe on Pinterest for next week. I do have a few ideas that you guys have given me so I may go with one of them.
Have a great day!
Yes well done with your steps even if it was due to losing your keys. Must have been so stressful for you. Congratulations on the no binge. Huge win for you there Linda! Hope you find some good recipes. Share one that you find 👍🏻lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Who is up for another weekend challenge?

Hi everyone. Had a nice day yesterday. I went for a coffee with a friend which is happening only because of the unseasonably warm weather as we can sit outside. The weather has returned to normal and is much cooler today though sunny.
Funny thing that after the coffee with my friend I felt so sad. I don't know if I realized I might not be able to meet her again... funny about the emotions. Sometimes so hard to figure out.
Anyway, I hope everyone is well. Wishing everyone a great day!

Daily Post November 11
Tracked Yes
Under Calorie Yes
Water 128oz
Steps 9721
Exercise 45min walking video
The walking video was definitely better than the treadmill, it somehow seems to pass the time a lot faster and is more fun. I think I get more steps too, due to how fast the songs are. It even feels like a better workout with the varying speeds and different movements. I'm gonna try some different ones out and find ones I like. I did another one this morning that I didn't like as much. I prefer to walk outside but it's just too cold, especially for my daughter who I had been taking with me a lot. I figure when I have time I can do a longer video, and when I'm shorter on time maybe I could do a couple different shorter videos at different times.0 -

Great job on meeting all those goals. Emotions can be confusing but I think it is ok to feel sad.888Angie888 wrote: »Weigh Day Thursday

Sounds like you really enjoy the videos. I have tried a couple in the past but some of the movements I found difficult as it was hard on my knee. Let me know which ones are good and if you think it may not be hard on the knees.Check-in for 11/11

I hope you feel better soon! How was your water intake the last 2 days? I know if I don’t drink enough I am guaranteed a headache.0 -
I made a challenge that I will post in a bit. If you guys have any ideas for weekend challenges let me know.1

Congrats on your loss! That’s too bad you lost somethings. I am going to add the take 5 in next weekend’s challenge as I have this one made up.1 -
* Runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
* 1 point for each item completed for a possible 5 points a day
Challenge
1. Sit at the table whenever you eat. This prevents mindless eating!
2. Make a list each day and tell us each day what your list was about. Some ideas:
- things that make you happy
- what you are grateful for
- shopping list
- words of wisdom when things get tough
- things you love about yourself
- gift ideas ( Christmas is near)
- happy memories
- bucket list
3. One song workout
- do one or both
-do it a few times during the day if you want
- find one you like online
- I will post 2 below
4. Set a water goal and meet it. I know I find it harder to stay hydrated on weekends.
5. Track! Track! Track! The good, the bad and the ugly!Let’s crush this weekend

One song workouts

@lindamtuck2018 - I average 95 oz/ day. It’s just a migraine, I’ve been getting them since puberty2
