@Kenyaa3 - I keep telling myself "at least it isn't going up"! For the first couple of weeks, no changes to daily routine. This past week, I had a friend in town Sat-Mon and we went hiking and played pickle ball (first time for me - it was fun) and just were on the go all the time. I also ate all the things with her, so we'll see what happens for the next weigh-in. Maybe that will have shook me lose!

I am so impressed with your pushing through when you're tired - I am using you for my inspiration when I get home from work and just want to sit in my comfy chair! I hear you on the can't move like you used to. I go along thinking I'm doing the same as always, then I have a stretch (thoracic rotation is the current issue) and see clearly how much I've lost in range of motion. Like you, I'm working on it and it is slow, but I will get back to where I was!

Have a fabulous week all!

Wow you had a very busy few days but sounds like you had a blast. That’s awesome and a lot of activity which is even better. I’m sure you’ll see change next weigh in. Keep up the good work!

Pushing myself is rough but I just keep thinking of my goals. I didn’t get like this overnight so it isn’t gonna drop that way either. I have to put in the work if I want to see a change. I say this to myself multiple times a day lol to keep me going and not falling off the wagon.

PS, I’m gonna look up Pickle ball lol

Hey everyone! Hope the week started off great. I had a productive weekend staying on point with exercising and food but not a productive day. Today face planted in way too much of a good thing that's really not so good. I'm talking 2 bowls of chips, over did it with some vanilla bean icecream and when I shamed myself to the kitchen the Reese's Pieces asked me to eat them too. All of this on top of eating good alllll day and 15k steps. Madness!
On top of last weeks drama filled water weight issue and today's not so good oh so good goodies, my sons birthday is Saturday. Oh boy...here we go! The universe is toying with my progress! Guess I have to work 10x's harder before this week is over and put my blinders on when the cake comes out 😎...hope I don't bump into anything.

@frankwbrown you are so inspiring! If I could just have a 10th of your motivation lol. Glad to hear you're more energetic and having a good week. I’m sure the numbers will reflect it on Friday. Keep up the awesome work! Oh and let’s us know how Pickle ball goes! I have tennis courts a few blocks from me so I might give it a try. 😁

@Shawtytel the universe is definitely toying with you, lol. Trust me, we’ve all been there and they’ll be plenty more days like it, we just learn how to better handle them. Brush it off and the next day just try to refocus and not bump into anything 😂. That is too funny! Hope you’re son has a great birthday.

@keepingtrack1234 - thank you for that! I am having a really off week this week for some reason. I think maybe the "playing" with my friend got me out of my mindset. Just struggling. Your weather sounds crazy! 85 to 55 - good grief! We are supposed to be getting a heat wave this next week or so. I'm going to use that to motivate myself to get my workout done first thing while it is cool.

@frankwbrown - Yes! do give us your review on pickleball! I also used to play tennis and loved it, but I didn't pick up a racquet for more than 20 years and now everyone I know that plays is WAY beyond me and not eager to play with a rusty player. I did find myself double-handing the backhand pickleball returns - which was a bit of overkill!

@shawtytel - somedays those "not so good oh so good goodies" are necessary! Today is my Dad's birthday, so I'm trying to save the calories to indulge in birthday ice cream (he didn't want cake). I'm really hoping that I can pull my week back together today since I've lost the plot so far this week.

@kenyaa3 - thanks for the words. I need to say that same thing to myself. "I didn’t get like this overnight so it isn’t gonna drop that way either. I have to put in the work if I want to see a change." I think just re-reading these things and checking in here really helps me to regain/keep my focus.

I'm ready for the weekend! Hope you're all having a good Thursday!

Does the group want to do any challenges to help motivate everyone? If so does anyone have ideas? I was thinking a step challenge and water challenge.
