    I've also engaged additional proof readers for my second novel to give me constructive criticism. (Gulp!)

    So I started walking 2 weeks ago... I use the ZOMBIES run app - and go for 40+ minutes on weekend - and any days off we have also.
    I use MAPMYWALK to track my walking and it sync's to MFP. Generally don't eat back calories but knowing they are there if I need them is helpful.
    I was all in a panic as my first month gave me no losses.. well now I am 50days in as of today, and 8.2lbs down from my starting (again) weight.
    I didn't do any real kind of exercise the last time and dropped 22lbs before I stopped... so I feel like I should be even more successful this time around!

    Hey kids,

    Took a hiatus and now I'm back.

    My shoulder is all better now. Time to get back into Powerlifting. Touring a new gym this weekend and hope to call it my new home.

    Took a long walk with the dogs.

    Hi Caramel!

    I have no motivation to lift....whether it is the long Pandemic, or I don't know. I have not taken this LONG of a break from lifting in a DECADE!

    I know I need to start again. I am not really wanting to, though.

    I'm interested in getting inspiration from this group. I turned 40 this year and gained 40+ lbs during cancer treatment for breast cancer. I'm on the other side of treatment and looking for advice on clean eating.

    Happy birthday (belated) nossf.

    I am going to find some 20-minute lifting workouts. Splits, I guess. A start.

    Sometimes you need a break to enjoy it again.

    I'm working on losing my pandemic weight, eating too much, drinking too much and not able to workout as hard during the lockdowns.

    Now that stay at home has been lifted I can lift again at my friends and since New Years Eve I've done 6, 1 hour one arm long cycle kettlebell marathon and a few IKFF competitions (via recording). Helping to slim down, though the scale has not moved a lot I feel better.

    Also date night with my wife before she takes off on a multi-state tour of her extended family, driving from city to city to say hi before returning to me about ten days later. She'll be gone for our anniversary, but now that COVID lockdowns are letting up she's making the rounds to hug rather than zoom her aunts, cousins, mother, etc.

    So far my two favorite clean recipe sources are from my previous rounds of Whole30. The Whole Cook (Christina Shoemaker) and Whole Kitchen Sink (Bailey Fischer) are both on Instagram, Pinterest and have cookbooks available to purchase. Christina's no bean chili is amazing.
