I swear I wrote a post last night to @mbakhtiaruz but I must have pressed the DONE button instead of Post Reply. I hope you feel better and keep checking in here. We all need support in these trying times.
@Gidgitgoescrazy how was the first day?!?!?! Good or bad, we wanna hear it!
@SMcFall0215 Happy Wednesday! So far I have been sticking to my weekly goals, just got sidetracked from my exercise yesterday cause I wasn't allowed to make noise when I got home (Hubby was still on a late work call) but I will get back on it today! Keep the good vibes coming Team5 -

I’ll take it.5 -
Look at all the green today!
@Pearl4686 - YAY! Remember this beautiful feeling and go go go!
@sarkrisd - Every green bit counts. 0.6 pounds green is better than that other colour!
@PlaneMonkey - you keep that up, and you'll be in Onederland really, really soon
@KellyBgetsfit - did you just apologize for losing 1.2 pounds? You are doing great, especially during a crazy time full of struggles. With tiny children. Holy moly, rock that tiara today and remember that it's a long road you're on, not an instant change. No apologies
@SMcFall0215 Thanks for asking and checking in. Wednesday is a great day to hunker down and get the mistakes fixed. Good for you! I'm doing well today - even though I'm waiting for the telephone to ring and can't go outside until the hospital calls with all the details about what I need to do when before this surgery ONE week from today. I have to get a covid test on Monday, even though I have been self-isolating completely since they gave me the surgery date, and then I have a raft of questions to ask. So yeah, I feel like the proverbial teenager waiting for the phone to ring. Luckily I pre-planned my lunch or I'd be eating everything in sight! There are lots of gorgeous greens growing in my indoor salad garden, some beautiful sheep's milk feta cheese, local hothouse tomatoes, lima beans... It will be delish. I'm hungry!
Great step results, everyone! I'm glad I had a strong January, because this month will be a slow one. The rest of you keep on keeping on with all those big numbers. Great job! And thanks @micki48 for tracking all those millions.
Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday, everyone!4 -
1 week... I hope time flies for you @jugar!
My rebounder arrived today. 30 minutes on that and I know about it, blimey. I couldn't go for a walk at lunch as my ankles are too sore to wear more than slippers, and whilst 30 mins on the rebounder was tough (and dragged a little, even watching TV) it felt effective. I needed 30 mins to get healthcare points, but I think I could do shorter bursts in the future, combined with resistance bands or mobility work.
I'm doing well on the water, exercise and 5-a-day; still eating more chocolate/crisps than I probably should but for now it fits within my calories and I'm already noticing fruit taking up more of my snacking budget.
The 300g had dropped off this morning too - I'd love to see below 86kg by my next weigh in on Monday, but either way it'll come soon enough.4 -
Met all goals today. Steps 12,728.2

So new job is going well, its a mess i can see why they wanted someone with my type of experience. My team was working with no experience in accounting and just doing what they thought was best, or what the cpa told them to do, but they have no idea how to job cost, or what burden is... So I have a big job in front of me...
My food and exercise have been good, even though I am giving myself a little bit of leeway this week, it turns out I haven't really needed it.
Hopefully I'll be more involved next week, once i get used to this schedule!

@jugar CW 186.8
What a wonderful batch of fluffy snow. Ah. Got out for a walk today through the hilly part of the cemetery. My various body parts were whinging but all in all, I enjoyed being in the beautiful air. Monica and I started preparing the back yard for a small bon fire next Tuesday. We're creating snow-couches/chairs which I'll spritz with water tomorrow so they can get denser as we add to them. Got to support us as we roast all beef hotdogs at 20 degrees F.
I feel good that I ate only 1.5 Hobnobs today. I made a big multi-vegetable stew, chicken tenders (all homemade), and egg noodles to have on the side (as I did) or, in the stew. I decided the broth was thick enough and didn't need noodles mixed in.
Have a fabulous rest of the week.
Hang in there everyone. xoxo5 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy
Sounds like they really need you at your new job, and that your team needs some serious training! I'll bet you'll straighten them up in no time.
I got a new piece to work on today for the recording that will hopefully happen some time when we can travel and play music together again. It is the best of the pieces that the composer wants recorded - I'm really glad he added it to the list. But the phone didn't ring, so I did not go outside on the snowshoes the way I wanted to! Tomorrow I'll just go out anyhow. They can leave a message. Hmmph.
So some weigh-ins are still due for today -

Thanks!4 -
What great losses, exercise, and great news on the new job, Vikki. They sure are lucky to have you. Straighten them out and don’t forget to give yourself a sticker.
I started the day with 13 minutes of Pilates Barre with Weights. That may be short, but those weights got me into a little cardio. And that makes you burn way more calories. My upper body is so weak. I’m thinking my arms are going to be sore tomorrow. Finished off my evening with some more ball bouncing. It’s really cool to see how steady I am on it compared to when I first started. I logged my food which included cupcakes I made. Oof. Still managed too eek under my calorie limit.
@evelynladams527 Your backyard seating sounds so cool. How fun! You’ll have to post a photo of it.
@jugar Vera (Matthews5) has reached out to me and wants to rejoin Waistaways. Can we get her back on our team for February? She said she had rejoined already.
Hope that call comes early tomorrow, Liselyn.5 -
Tuesday walked for 30 minutes mid level and steps at 6335
Wednesday walked for 30 minutes with a weighted vest mid-high intensity and steps at 8578
This weighted vest is a cool add on if your interested in a challenge when walking. My friend suggested I try it and it did serve as a challenge to get my heartbeat up and burn more calories. My work schedule has been demanding these last two weeks, so my usual workouts have been hard to get in.
Have a great night!5 -

Hi all! I'm back. It's been an action packed couple of months. I'll fill you in on a separate post.
@jugar please count me in for this month's weight loss challenge. My starting weight is 358.6. I'll keep Friday as my weigh in day.
@micki48 please count me in for the step challenge this month.
Thanks everyone. Stay safe and healthy.4 -

Yesterday was pretty manic, but I managed to stick within calorie goals. I went for an hours dog walk with my daughter which was lovely, and then in the evening my husband and I had a go at a Youtube pilates class. I think I could actually really like pilates, hadn't tried it before! Does anyone have any recommendations for YouTube pilates to follow??4 -
Hello!
Not a lot going on with me. I'm still easing into working out and logging after being under the weather. I've done a couple of low key ballet workouts with my daughter. Honestly they have been more laughing and goofing off than working out. I'm pretty much back to eating normal but need to start formally logging everything again.
I just got my new dress today 😍 It was from the new valentines collection and I love it to pieces! Its got flowers on it and more ruffles than any grown woman really needs! It really lifts the spirits.
@jugar So excited for your surgery. I remember being super excited to get my gallbladder out. I hope the hospital calls soon. If you want me to call and hassle them for you I will 😉
@mbakhtiaruz Hang in there! This is a difficult time for lots of people. Self care is definitely in order for you! ❤ Be kind to yourself. You got this.
@micki48 Nice work getting your workouts in! That has to be a great feeling.
@Gidgitgoescrazy Glad you have made it through the first few days and are getting a feel for things. Whip them into shape!
@DD265 The soggy run sounds intense 😳 Glad you're able to do some indoor workouts with your rebounder!3
