Hmm...this one is interesting. I guess it kind of makes sense as a 'two week loss' given I felt good about what I did last week but only had 0.1lb down, but I also didn't ... feel like it was coming? Usually before I get on the scale, my expectations are half based on how I think I did from steps/eating, and half on how I feel in the moment. And even though the steps were definitely high, when I weighed in I felt fluffy (definitely did not *feel* 3+ pounds down), so not sure how seriously to take this one lol. Could just be the floor in the new apartment. Although it is much nicer for the mental state for it to err down rather than up ha.
I also have yet to find a good place for the scale in the new apartment where it can be undisturbed until I use it. I don't like when it shifts around because I want its location to stay consistent and my weight to be the only changing variable, but the bathroom is very small and I haven't figured out where it will live long term. Ugh.
My Saturday 'run' was not exciting this week. I wasn't feeling it so I just did the first mile (much slower than I had in the past) and then walked the rest of the loop without trying to add in any further stretches. A bit of a bummer but also I was happy with myself for just getting out at all when I *really* didn't feel like it, so that's something!
I think my steps will continue to be on the higher end because the new apartment is 3.5+ miles from work, so on days when I am able to walk they'll be up there. On days when I can't walk (like because of rain) I'll probably be < 5,000 haha. I'll continue the step challenge with a goal boosted to 15,000.
Yesterday I went on a hike with my best friend and some of her friends. It wasn't a mountain, just loops in a state park (though there were elevation changes...my Garmin said we did 64 floors), but it ended up being 8+ miles and there were a *lot* of steep stairs at one point to get up/down from a destination point. If I hadn't been walking so much recently I think I would have struggled a lot, but even though I got a bit tired towards the end while we were finishing up, I'm not sore today! After the hike we did go to a cookout with some of their other friends. I had a few pieces of watermelon, a cheeseburger (plus half a burger with no bun), and too many chips BUT only drank water, said no to oreos, and said no to ice cream...overall quite good, especially for my 'cheat' day.
We'll see how next week looks!6 -

Step Challenge!!! Time to renew your step challenge for May...weather is getting better, time to step up your game and get motivated!!! Haven't had many walkers sign up for the month yet...which is surprising. Send me your daily step goal and tell me your favorite place to walk or a new place you'd like to go to walk and I'll sign you up...also, if your first name isn't obvious from your USERID on MFP, give me your first name as well.
Looking forward to seeing high stats this month...one step at a time!
Let's go y'all!!

Honestly almost all my steps come from the treadmill, or from work. I work 2 jobs, one is more of a desk job now days (used to not be but has turned into that) the other is always standing and moving.2 -

What's your why?
What's your ultimate motivation that started you on this journey?
Quote & reply.
Its really so I can continue to travel with my wife. Being limited already by mobility is a bit tough, but I want to be able to do some of the more active activities she wants to do. I don't want a 3 mile hike to be a burden and we both love nature and exploration.3 -
Step goal... last month it was 6k... I want to push for 7k. Not sure I will hit it everyday but I want to try.2

Please forgive me, I am still trying to figure this out! I keep getting lost in groups, so I haven't posted since last week when I joined. I am absolutely thrilled with my loss this week! I was put on meds for high blood pressure recently and that really scared me. My husband also recently received a cardiac diagnosis, so we have been doing this journey together, which makes all the difference in the world. I have been walking one mile in the morning and another in the evening and have been pretty strict with my diet. I am feeling great and my clothes are already fitting a bit better (they were getting a bit strained, lol). My goal for next week is to keep it up and try to post a bit more here...when I figure out exactly how it all works! LOL4 -
@ewilhelm2487 So sorry you're in such pain!! Sounds horrible...hope you can get it extracted soon and get the infection to go away...
@goonies73 Wow, what a great loss!!! You're working hard and it's paying off. Glad you and hubby are taking steps to improve your health! It also feels amazing when you start to see those changes in your clothes, your energy level and in how you feel...enjoy that feeling and continue to set little goals to keep you motivated. If there's anything we can do, just holler! CONGRATS on a great week! Are you tracking your steps with a tracking watch or your phone?? Join the steppers and start posting your steps each day...build a little inner competitive spirit...that always keeps me going! All I need is your first name, your daily step goal and your favorite place to walk and we'll get you signed up. The step chart is just below the weigh in chart on the same spreadsheet...just scroll down.

To live a long healthy life with my kids. I want to see not only my kids grow up, but my grand kids and great grand kids grow up. I also work in assisted living and memory care, and have worked in nursing homes, I dont want to become a burden on my family, and do NOT want to be in one of those places. I also want to be comfortable in my own skin.2 -
