    Hi all,
    Thanks so much for you many messages and input. I appreciate it!
    The struggle I had with was actually something I did. Not so much what someone else did
    I did a lot of exercise yesterday and it helped calm me down.
    Anyway, I really appreciate all of you and your support and input is really valuable!
    Thanks for being there are always being supportive, kind and non-judgemental!
    It means a lot!

    Hi. Thank you for your message about your sleep issues. Using the treadmill and listening to podcasts sounds like good ways of promoting sleep. I don't have any exercise machines in my apartment, so unfortunately I have to get outside to exercise. I do sometimes listen to music. Maybe taking that to bed with earbuds is a good idea. I appreciate the suggestions.

    @littleflutterby
    Hi Tanya. Your new breakfast sounds and looks delicious! YUM! Also, I loved your comment that our value is far beyond what it says on the scale! I totally agree. We are far more than that. It shouldn't decide anyone's worth. We are mind, body and spirit. We are so much more!

    @Beautyofdreams
    Hello. I relate to what you said about obsessing over things and sometimes being really over-sensitive or taking things top personally. I have been to therapy for various things, but finding coping mechanisms for stress and strong emotions have eluded me to some extent. I think that exercise and talking with others helps a lot. In general, I find stress hard to deal with. That's an ongoing project for me to find healthy ways to cope with stress. Thanks for your message.

    @lindamtuck2018
    Wow! I'm so sorry that the fall is causing so much pain, especially never pain which I know is truly terrible. I'm hoping and praying things are better today. Please be careful! Take care and I hope you have a better day today!


    @iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
    WOW! I just was looking at your post and saw you did 31952 steps!
    That is so amazing and inspiring! You are really doing great with your fitness and your steps are just awesome. Way to go! It's so amazing!

    @Bluetail6
    Hi Lee,
    I'm so sorry about your brother. I'm thinking of you and sending my very best wishes! I hope the procedure that he requires goes smoothly and is successful! Hoping and praying for the best result for your brother. We care about you and we are here to support you!

    I didn’t get my workout in since my day got away from me. Did some cleaning which must be how I hit 10k in steps. Took my son to meet his friends new puppy so he was happy.

    I made pizza with the two ingredient dough last night again and I really like it. May be my new Friday night dinner. So much lower in calories than take out or the frozen pizza that the rest of the fam eats.

    Ahh I missed when you made this the first time. Can you share the recipe for this? Well done hitting youeb10k steps👍🏻

    STEPS -- 3000 each day this past week

    Last week reorganized my exercise area so it's usable again. This week I plan to start back up with Richard Simmon's stretches and chair yoga with Sherry Zak Morris.

    Have a great week everyone!! 👋

    Nice loss this week Cesse! I was just speaking to my husband yesterday that maybe we should set ourselves up with a proper gym now that we have room for it. I need an exercise area too as I’m really missing my gym.

    Thought for sure with eating Indian food last night for my husband's birthday I'd show a gain for the week from bloat so I'll definitely take the small loss. Yesterday was a fun day. After we eat lunch today I'm going to go pick the kids back up and we are gonna try watching a movie as a family.

    Well done on your loss! Glad you didn’t take the scale jump up. Happy birthday to your husband and so glad you guys got to have a fun filled day ❤️

    Hi team! Just read all the posts and have all the weights entered. I am hoping tomorrow I can get back to somewhat of a normal routine. I feel so bad for my husband as he had to do all the lifting and has been great putting everything back together for me. I am still really sore. Guys you have to believe me when I say I am cursed as now I lost my keys. I have a black cloud over my head. 😂 We have searched everywhere. I am hoping they fell in one of the boxes and I will find them when unpacking. I don’t care about the house keys as they can be replaced at minimal cost but the car key will be expensive. I promise tomorrow I will start being more supportive. I feel bad that I haven’t been as you guys have been super supportive to me. I am going to grab some left over pizza as we haven’t had a chance to eat yet today. My eating hasn’t been the greatest this weekend but I just had groceries delivered and I got some nice heathy snacks. I haven’t checked my weight since Thursday as my scales are still in a box. I am very scared. 😱 Hope you guys are having a fantastic weekend.

    Omg Linda what in the world is going on!? Someone went and did some juju eye on you! It’s ok I’m sending some prayers and positivity our way so it can all turn around. Think positive happy thoughts and I’m sure your bad luck will turn right around. Don’t worry about the scales for now just get yourself settled in and then you can get back on it when it’s all over.

    Happy Saturday team. Look at me!! I managed to come in for a real check in today! Let’s hope I can keep doing so. It’s so much easier to catch up on 9 messages at a time rather than 100!!

    I’m gonna try to do our zoom Zumba class this morning. It’s my trainers birthday so I am hoping to join him for his class on his special day. I haven’t done Zumba since before my surgery so I will défi need to listen to my body. I started running last week and I’ve had some very sore days on my back scar. Lots of pins and needles and soreness.

    Wishing you all a wonderful day and hope to catch up tomorrow ❤️🤞🏻

    I made some soup a few days ago and yesterday I made some blueberry bannock
    from a recipe from a fellow MFP friend! It was sooo tasty!
    I bought a lot of good healthy food to make other soups and veggie chili also.
    I had a nice walk and did some coloring while listening to some tunes!
    Yep. I am wild!!! LOL Can't wait till the pandemic is over!

    Have a great Sunday everybody!

    Hi lovely people! I made it, I´m here! Having a moment to write while I´m drinking a coffee. :) January started strong as fork.
    I have already started with the course of administration and it is a mess. We started the 6th and we had plenty of homework the same day. So much that I was in class from 9.00 to 12.00 and with homework from 12.30 to 23.00 Crazy! Then on the 7th we had another class and another bunch of homework. And in the weekend they send us again. I haven´t been able to be with my girlfriend, or cleaning or touching my nose. Everything for the course.
    My steps have been quite bad BUT!!!!! I have managed almost every day to eat at least 3 meals

    Hey Downsizers... Thought I would get to sleep in today (yesterday).... Nope. I got a call from my sister who lives on the East Coast. I have a brother who has to have an emergency doctors appt for a medical procedure... Not really sure what it is going to be at this point. One of my other brothers was able to fly and stay with him. The procedure is tomorrow. My whole day was spent making phone calls to my sister and 2 brothers. A little stressful, and it isn't over yet. I might be absent for a couple of days, as we won't really know anything till tomorrow. Serious sigh.

    You all are doing so well. Even with a slip up here an there, we are staying the course and moving forward. I am rooting for us always!! :)<3

    I hope your brother is ok. Sending lots of positive thoughts.

    Thanks for the thoughts. Sounds like a great day. What kind of soup did you make? You are right about the pandemic. I am tired of lockdown and now Ford says he is going to make even more restrictions but we need the strain on the hospitals to slow down. Stay safe!

    Saturday’s check in
    Steps: 7,937 ✅
    Tracked: ❌
    Sleep: ❌
    Water: ✅
    Healthy snacks: ❌

    Today we are heading over to the old apartment to clean up and grab anything that is left there. I can’t wait for tomorrow as I am going to do absolutely nothing. We are waiting to find out if my husband can go back to work tomorrow. They require a negative test result to allow him back. The nurse told him sometimes it can take 6 months to get a negative result. Keep your fingers crossed for him. I am going to research something I can start for exercise when I am not hurting anymore. The pool and exercise room are closed due to lockdown but trust me I will make good use of them when they open.

    Have a nice relaxing Sunday!
