Great job!9 -
There is some heavy big snow falling all day today - I am going back out to continue tramping our walking paths. We never shovel - I just stomp as hard as I can and pack it all down. It is a great way to get rid of any excess energy, anger, or anything else I need to get rid of!8

I am so bad with my will power at my in-laws. We are finally having our Christmas with them and I ate so much food yesterday. I’m going to have log really careful this week so I can lose the 5 pounds I know I gained. Thank goodness this is the last Christmas we need to have.
You're just behind everyone else who gained their 5 pounds over the holidays! You'll do it I'm sure1 -

Great week! Your steps and weight loss are impressive. You must be getting close to goal - what is your goal weight right now?
Well I wish I was close to my goal weight. I am only 4' 10 inches so on the chart I should be between 91 and 115 to be normal weight. When I look at the chart now it says overweight and I feel overweight. I would love to get to the middle of that at around 108. But I would be happy to get to like 112. And being short every pound shows a lot. I usually was weighing about 119 before COVID. I went up to 130 UGGH. My cholesterol is up and I felt terrible and my clothes don't fit right, but I hate buying new ones. I want to be able to fit my clothes comfortably. They are still tight right now. Thanks for the encouragement.2 -

Slow improvement. But still improvement.
We found ground bison at Costco so we're having a slightly fancy dinner tonight. And we bought Ring Fit Adventure on Switch and it kicked my butt completely. I didn't think I was that out of shape. :06 -

Happy day before @jugar becomes 1-year older! We'll have to do something wild on your behalf...I hope you'll help us figure that out!
Today has been a good day. I followed through on meditating and, since I was puppy sitting, had a good long walk with her through the crusty snow in the cemetery. She's learning to be a little better on the leash which translates to solid arm work-outs! It was good to be on "her" walk every so often, so I could catch my breath.
My recent cravings have been interesting. I used to have a much better handle on some, like sugar. When I quit drinking several years ago, I found I needed a certain amount in order to keep moving forward and not picking up drinking, again. Now that I've moved beyond the early steps, it's time to make peace with that beast again. Since my digestive system can't tolerate the pseudo-sugars (including stevia), I'll have to figure out a plan (other than "cold turkey") which will be able to co-exist with the other 2 eaters in the house! Wish me luck.
More tomorrow.

I was under my calories and almost hit my macros. I was off by 2%. I am off tomorrow, then I return to in person learning Tues and Thurs for the first time since before Thanksgiving.2

@jugar currently waltzing around my apartment in said tiara!
I got pretty snack-ish last night and the scale showed it. But today was a very productive day. I got grocery shopping done early. Enjoyed my yoga. Logged onto work just for about 2 hours to get some things out of the way for the rest of the week. Took a long walk and ran 1 mile. Did 40 min of dance cardio. Applied for and luckily/thankfully got accepted at the apartment I want to move to! And cooked a new recipe for dinner - a thai-inspired turmeric chicken & ramen noodles. It was pretty good! And I definitely burned enough to enjoy a FiberOne brownie. I have always liked them, but several people on MFP have recommended microwaving them briefly, so I tried that last night and sprinkled some seat salt. Oh man. A winner.
@evelynladams527 jealous of your puppy sitting! Pets seem to lead to friendly exercise.8 -

Weigh In Day: Monday
PW (Previous Weight): 194lb
CW (Current Weight): 192.6lb
Happy Monday all. Sorry I've been a bit quiet - had a busy weekend away from the computer, and I'm trying to avoid spending time staring at my phone.
I spent my Friday afternoon doing the food shopping, then went for a run. I had nobody to run with, so I went solo, and did a 35 minute run without walking. I wasn't sure I'd manage it on my own, but I did and my pace was better than normal - possibly as I wasn't trying to talk, too.
Saturday OH wanted lunch from the bakery so we walked; about 5k each way, took us 2hrs10 minutes. Yesterday I went for a run with a friend. We did 30 minutes (that's my daily activity goal, and a 30 minute run gets me my health insurance points for free Amazon Prime) and it was a pretty tired run, but no walking. We did break the 1x exercise a day rule, and walked down to the post office to send some returns.
My butt is aching today, and my back as well. We hung new sliding wardrobe doors (took over 4 hours, with my run and lunch in the middle) I spent a few hours in the kitchen yesterday (made a cottage pie, a soup, and some sausage rolls) so I'm not sure if my posture was off. Planning to take it easy today, so the 30 minutes activity will be more of a workout to stretch and regain mobility than anything strenuous.4 -
Coming into a really slow week here. It’s cold and icy outside so running is out of the question. It’s interesting with working out at home that I can do it anytime and so that means that I tend to do it less often...
Good to read everyone’s post. They are encouraging to get me moving!3 -
Happy Monday all - seems that we have so many busy bees here. Makes me feel quite sluggish! My workouts this week are 5 minute belly fat exercises (Lilly Sabri), followed by Adriene's Breath yoga challenge - so this morning's are done!
I have some hard work targets to meet this week, including a few virtual meetings, but before I get back to it - @micki48 , here are my step/workout numbers from last week for you:
10th Jan - 3767 steps
11th Jan - 2548 steps
12th Jan - 3494 steps / 12 mins Tabata / 35 mins Yoga
13th Jan - 3864 steps / 12 mins Tabata / 42 mins Yoga
14th Jan - 6165 steps / 30 mins Dance
15th Jan - 4010 steps / 12 mins Tabata / 25 mins Yoga
16th Jan - 4495 steps / 33 mins Dance / 23 mins Yoga

Enjoy your days, all

Have a great day everyone.2
