    Hi everyone ☺ I have had a busy few days filled with extra errands and a covid vaccine for my husband. Luckily my husband is just tired and not dealing with days of fever like I did. Phew! It's conference week at work and today is my last day before spring break. I have had a few conferences that have weighed heavy on my heart. 💔 Who takes their kid to day care 7 days a week while they are just at home most of the week??? Come on people! We are having a few vaccinated family members over for Easter and my kids are getting so excited! I also arranged a special visit to my friends daughter's house for my kids to meet baby goats 🐐 💕! Something to look forward to for sure.

    Couldn't get to the boards thos morning to make my daily post, but yesterday was good and I read before bed. This morning I did 30 minutes of aerobics. Think I will do 15 min of yoga after work and dinner...

    Have a great day !

    In happier news, a CD I pre-ordered showed up and its amazing.

    The album is called Starship Velociraptor and so far my favorite song on it is about fighting the sun with an Army of Tigers so that really tells you everything you need to know about how amazing this is. I really needed this in my life today.

    Hey everyone, I hope you all be fine and everything goes well with your weight loss journey. I am back here again, while it felt good that I took a break and didn't think about diet for a while, unfortunately and naturally I gained weight. But now I feel refreshed and at least I'm motivated again to log my food.

    Happy Thursday! I saw a great April Fool's post this morning, from one of my favourite fitness sites. They are selling a brand new book on Intermittent Breakfasting! It gave me a good laugh while eating breakfast.

    Greetings friends!

    Well it's now the start of our Easter weekend in the UK. The Bank Holiday on Friday (Good Friday) and Easter Monday produces a convenient long weekend. Such a shame that the weather is set to get a bit chillier.

    Today was good - yoga and circuits done this morning and everything has been logged.

    I need to think up a fun mini project for this weekend to make Easter memorable.

    Great NSV! I am partial to belt-oriented NSVs for some reason - they were what kept me going as I lost weight. It was odd because I hated belts completely and passionately when I was at my heaviest, but they became a symbol and a delight once I lost weight. I enjoy my belt collection no end now.

    I had a good day workout and food-wise - I backed off of the sweet stuff and cranked up the exercise a bit, so that felt good. The house sale went well this morning with 100% electronic documents, signatures, etc. The notary had the routine down and was able to make it really smooth. The young couple buying my daughter's house are adorable, and I think they will enjoy the place no end. I was glad to meet them since my horse will be staying there. It is good to have a reason to stay connected to the place without being responsible for it.

    Is it time for Friday heads up reminders already?? How does that happen :#

    There are a few outstanding weigh-ins from Monday - Thursday. Two are new folks who have not yet appeared. Everyone, please feel free to send out a friend request! I know it can seem like we all know each other and it is hard to become part of the team, but a personal invitation can help a lot. Being a bit late is not a problem. I hope we'll see them soon!

    @jugar interesting you say that about the belt.. I don't wear belts at my current weight and there might be something to that... perhaps I will have to think about getting one and enjoying the notches going down.

    Went out to eat at a restaurant for the first time in a long while. It's always a bit stressful trying to guess what the calorie content of a meal at an independent place is... I logged as best I could and am certain it's fine but losing that element of control is hard.. I know I need to figure that out to make this work when "life" happens but I'm just noticing the discomfort for now.

    Happy long weekend to those of us lucky enough to have one :smile:

    I biked today 11km in 70 minutes, but I don't have fitbit and my mobile google fit does not work properly, so where can I find the guideline of exercise to step conversion for the step challenge?

    Hilarious! That made me laugh!

    My NSV today. An old belt I have- I can do it up 2 holes smaller than when I last tried it on a few weeks ago (I was on the last hole :/ so I had given up on it).

    @Pearl4686 What a great achievement! :) 2 holes smaller is a considerable size improvement 👏👏👏

    This is my largest weekly drop over the last three months. The only thing that changed was that I bought a 46 ounce Yeti water bottle that I carry everywhere. I’ve never been a good water drinker so it’s interesting to see that staying hydrated seemed to help this week.

    Hello everyone. I’m back from my trip to Gatlinburg. It was wonderfully fun and much needed. I enjoyed myself and did the best I could but really enjoying food and family was top priority. I didn’t log my food. So hopefully not too bad for weigh in tomorrow. So here are my steps that I didn’t log. Last Saturday 5,020. Sunday 10,548. Monday 10158. Tuesday 11,725. Wednesday 6,247. Thursday 10,024. Friday 12,102.

    Good for you! Enjoyment, and still stepping like a pro. I am happy to see you let loose and have a great family time - your discipline is so amazing! I think a small break is a great thing.

    Here we are all ready to wrap up the first week of this 5 week month. It has been a great green week - do not get too comfy or decide to reap the "rewards" !! Let's keep it going. The most important prize we give is the one for consistency. Even if there are free days, occasional blips, or whatever - it is possible to hope right back on and feel great again.

    Still due up through today:

    @Mandylimbu

    Please be sure that all these weigh-ins are posted before the end of your day Saturday, wherever you live. I do the tallies first thing Sunday morning, and you will be listed as NWI (no weigh-in) if you miss the deadline! Late weigh-ins can be taken, for sure (and all is forgiven!!!), but they do not count in the tally. It is fun to see how we are doing compared with the other teams, so please get all those lovely numbers in. Thanks!

    Good Morning! Yesterday, I got in my workout and did a short walk. My 5 year old wanted to come with me and he wouldn't have been able to do 3 miles. Fitbit friends- have you ever had your stepper not work??? I know the stroller when give you less steps, but I got 123 for half a mile!!! 🤷‍♀️

    My eating wasn't great. I came under calories but too many carbs, not enough protein. The scale is down, so maybe my body needed the extra carbs? I prelogged today and tomorrow so I am all set. I won't have time to meal prep tomorrow so I am going to get a rotisserie chicken and stick with salads.

    Have a great weekend!
