Quick Sunday update:
Ben and I got our Covid vaccines yesterday afternoon. No nasty after-effects so far - just a bruised feeling at the vaccination site on my arm this morning. But even that's wearing off. Ben's had no after effects.
My good friend and next door neighbour had a significant birthday on Thursday, so I went and sat at the bottom of her stairs and had a birthday glass of bubbly with her - ensuring a safe distance, of course! Later on we got a lovely delivery of delicious birthday cake!
Yesterday was our weekly "Remote Dinner Party" event - and it was my turn to cook. I did baked chicken breasts with garlic and kale rice. Ben took it round and left it on the doormat before ringing the bell and legging it! Then we turned our laptops and cameras on and, Voila! Dinner is served! And, if I do say so myself, it was delicious! I tried a new method of ensuring juicy chicken breasts and it turns out that the secret is in brining the chicken - and 10 minutes resting before serving. The results - succulent and juicy chicken breasts.
Planning our lunches was also a positive step for me last week, so I have done the same for the coming week. I've been planning our dinners for months now so I can't think why it's taken me so long.
And this coming week I will be doing the last week of my scheduled Heather Robertson's February workouts. They're very effective - they seriously kick my butt - but I love them!
@PlaneMonkey - I love that picture of you with the Wrong Trousers (Wallis & Gromit reference) - how satisfying!
Where are you, @happimess01, to get such a great view of the Alps? It reminded me that I am also blessed with terrific views - we're in the middle of the Wyre Forest in Worcestershire and I frequently take that fact for granted.
Anyway, that's it for now - have an awesome Sunday, Friends!

Apparently this is my number! Honestly though, maintenance during a week which had both my birthday and weight training is something to be proud of so I'm counting this as a win.
We hit the gym yesterday, its open on a per-appointment basis for personal training only, so there was barely anyone there and lots of cleaning of stuff. Very safe. Very expensive! So we won't be doing that again really. It was just nice to go once and have access to weights for the first time in like a year.3 -

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

It’s a day early for my official weigh in day, but I was shocked this AM. I had to share! Woooo Hooooo! I better not be 151 tomorrow! Hahaha
Now to decide do I stay at 150 or continue to lose? I’ll think on that today. I’m trying to find photos of before. So I can do a fancy before and after.
Be well my friends! Thank you for all the encouragement. This group is awesome! Sorry my family are computer hogs, it’s hard to get on one. Haha

@YinxFed I live in Munich but I took a 1 hour train down to Tegernsee for this view. Oh wow, you do live in a lovely area. Hoping to see pics of your outing soon
@Curvycalorie You are a rockstar! What an accomplishment! How are you planning to celebrate? Do you have a goal gift for yourself in mind?

That's brill @CurvyCalorie well done!
I can't decide if I'm glad the weekend is almost over so I can go back to work for a rest. It's almost 6pm and I've just sat down. I decided that instead of stressing over things I couldn't control, I was going to channel the energy into being productive.
Yesterday I ran a 10k - first one ever. I came within 0.2 miles a couple of years ago, but since then if I've done the distance it has been walking or run/walk. Glad I've got it done, means I don't feel so bad about stepping back to do whatever I need to for my knees. They were fine during the run but sore before and after. Then I put a coat of varnish on the desks, went to the butchers, more varnish, chores, varnish, went to get more varnish, varnished...
Today I varnished, tidied the garden, varnished, made some soup, varnished, tidied up, varnished, stripped the cloakroom fittings ready for filling, varnished, just been for a 30min walk and really struggled. Right glute is hurting - think from all the bending over varnishing! Due to space limitations I can only do 2 desks at once with an hour's drying time so there's a lot of back and forth. Second coats on the tops and batons are done, so they need fixing together then I'll do the final coat, preferably tomorrow!
It turns out OH did buy a butternut squash and just didn't put it away where I would, so I've got another soup to make as well as sausage rolls. For now though, I am sitting on my backside and not budging until it's time to eat.3 -

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the group and looking forward to losing weight with you all. Thank you for having me! 😀5

Can I ask ☺, do I just post my weekly weigh in on this chat part each week?2

@micki48 You are too kind 😊 I can imagine how frustrating it must be to be stuck at a weight. I have been on mfp since 2012 but only got motivated enough to log during 2012, 2015 and now. Hope the logging meal challenge does the trick for you.
Went on a beautiful albeit exhausting hike today. You can see the Alps at a distance
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing the view from your BEAUTIFUL hike. I will live vicariously through you.

Welcome @riagalgate to Waistaways. We are happy to have you join us. Yes, post your weekly weigh in here. Did you already share what day you want to weigh in on your registration? If so, share your official weigh in each week on that day. You are welcome to share your weight in between any time you feel like it. Enjoy reading through the feed getting to know the team. When the new March feed opens later this week, we usually introduce ourselves there. But feel free to tell us a little about yourself now if you like.
Wow! What a great post read today. @YinxFed I LOVE the idea of the virtual dinner party. I have a cute visual of Ben dropping off the food and "legging it." Great idea to stay connected to friends. And I also looked up where you live. It is beautiful. Lucky you.
@CurvyCalorie HURRAY FOR YOU! 100% of your goal! That is fabulous. You have worked so hard. And consistently. CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you.
@jugar Glad you hear you got in a great snowshoe hike yesterday. I took a chilly walk.
I've been painting garden gnomes today. They needed a little sprucing up.
Oh and Super Squirrel's cape also needed some freshening up. I've picked up groceries and have been doing lots of little things around here. No specific exercise yet. Depending on how much time I have before the family comes for dinner, I will either take a walk or do the Happy Dance video workout.
Keep up the great work everyone!!

This is why 167 is a place to hang out for a while:
167 is a Chen prime, a Gaussian prime, a safe prime, and an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and a real part of the form 3n-1.
167 is the only prime which can not be expressed as a sum of seven or fewer cubes. It is also the smallest number which requires six terms when expressed using the greedy algorithm as a sum of squares, 167 = 144 + 16 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 1, although by Lagrange's four-square theorem its non-greedy expression as a sum of squares can be shorter, e.g. 167 = 121 + 36 + 1 + 1.
167 is a full reptend prime in base 10, since the decimal expansion of 1/167 repeats the following 166 digits: 0.00598802395209580838323353293413173652694610778443113772455089820359281437125748502994 0119760479041916167664670658682634730538922155688622754491017964071856287425149700...
167 is a highly cototient number, as it is the smallest number k with exactly 15 solutions to the equation x - φ(x) = k. It is also a strictly non-palindromic number.
167 is the smallest multi-digit prime such that the product of digits is equal to the number of digits times the sum of the digits, i. e., 1×6×7 = 3×(1+6+7)
167 is the smallest positive integer d such that the imaginary quadratic field Q(√–d) has class number = 11.
No wonder you are stuck there! Here's wishing you reach more ordinary numbers
