Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

I hope the move isn't too stressful @human_bean

@Pushkinnz I hope you are feeling better soon.

Afternoon Ladies

Thank you for your sympathies, my mind is back on track, just have to watch what i eat and be patient till infection is gone, back on antibiotics so hopefully wont take too long. Did have some good news from the doctors my diabetes blood test result came back at 52 which is very good control.

@violetanderson39 I logged my pity party food, didn't go over as much as i thought on calories, but bread and cheese definitely wrong food to eat.

@human_bean i can do light upper body exercises but that is about it at moment.

Hi Goal getters! )
I moved!! And it indeed was a calorie burn festival! I hated every minute of it

@Pushkinnz How is your week going? Are you managing to do some light exercises? How are you feeling?

@CurvyCalorie How did the cookie day go? It sounds super delicious and I would totally stuff my face with all the cookies. Just of of them

@mugginskate Megan, I am so sorry to hear you are going through this tough period, I admire that you still schedule workouts, when my anxiety overtakes, runs helps a lot to manage it, but it can be damn hard to get out of the house. I hope you can at least go for long walks, if working out is too hard! I would also recommend another podcast, it's called "terrible, thanks for asking" , it gets me through tough times. Sending you a lot of love and keep us posted on how you feel!

In general, how is everyone?

Question! How do you guys get lots of steps when it's cold outside! I usually take a couple walks around the block - but I'm a wuss and when it's below freezing I generally can't make myself get out there!! Any hints?

I did discover that if you do the treadmill - if you increase the incline, not necessarily the speed you burn a ton more calories in a shorter period of time. ** join me for more helpful tips you may already know** hahahah

HAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!
@CurvyCalorie I loved that this morning!! Totally easy to forget the 'simple' ways to boost progress! I don't know how many times I say "oh!! Duh!" about something simple.

Way to go!! You have victories to dance about!!

Gyms here aren't an option right now... but they are wonderful heated places!!! *Sigh.

Congrats on the big weight loss @CurvyCalorie! That's awesome! And thanks for the note regarding the incline on the treadmill. You've inspired me to get moving!

Going to try and stay motivated this week! Definitely haven't been on point for the past two weeks. You guys are so motivating!

Tomorrow is my weigh in. My goal is 170.4, but it would be SO sweet if i saw 169 on the scale. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

That's great about your leg @Pushkinnz! Good news.

How did the weigh-in go @CurvyCalorie? I'm scared to do that, going to wait until next week!

I had to give my kids a thorough talking to about homework today. They're staying home due to covid because we're looking after my 92 year old grandfather. They seemed to think it was a free pass!

I got a bit stressed out at work and didn't do my yoga or walk so I will be doing that today! Hope everyone is having a good week!

been busy last 2 days but finished the Christmas shopping! when we went to pay for it a lovely lady handed us a copy of the stores shareholders letter which gave us 12.5% discount off all our presents isn't that so cool! and it could be reused so we handed it on to another shopper who had a full trolley and a few kids, to help her out, and told her to pass it on to someone else when she was finished.

Girls, hi!

I haven't checked the chat in like a week

So fun to read the messages though )

My goal for this week is to just survive, seriously, I moved in with my boyfriend and we both have male cats, they are not getting along yet, but they are driving us freaking insane, they cry all night and I wake up every night at 2am and 4am to play with them so that they can shut up at least for a little bit and then I'm up at 6-7 coz they just won't stop crying. I am sooooo tiiireeed and I as much as I love the cats, I absolutely just want to kill them.

I am behind on my workouts since I am constantly tired, hard to make myself do anything, but I miss them so much. I will try to squeeze some lighter workouts until I am back to normal. Maybe some yoga.

I wish I had more time, I miss doing yoga as well, it makes me feel so good! But I just can't find the time to do it.

@mugginskate

Wondering if everything is okay with you

@violetanderson39

It is so hard for me to reach my step goal when I can't walk outside and there are no treadmills available, the only thing I was able to do is to follow some youtube walking video while watching something fun on a different screen.
I found that have a standing desk and an aerobic step nearby really helps me to just move throughout the day while I'm working.

@CurvyCalorie
amazing job on the working that weight off!!

And so interesting to read about what is going on with your daughter's school, I hope everything will workout OK!
