Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms!4
-
Morning all and Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mothers out there as well as my thoughts to anyone who is missing a special mother in their life today.
At the trailer which means space is limited indoors so I'll have to brave the rain to get some exercise. Wish me luck!
Bought an air fryer (yupppp couldn't help myself) for the trailer to help making cooking certain things easier. Tested some frozen Brussels sprouts in them last night and it worked well. Looking forward to seeing what else it can do!5 -
Yay Moms!
I came to motherhood late, having my daughter at age 38. She was due on Mother's Day, but decided it was comfy in there (she already was not listening to me!) and arrived on the 16th. It was worth the wait, of course, but then I adopted the second who made me wait even longer! They are both amazing kids and I thank them for making the experience of being a mom pretty danged amazing. I really miss my mom today - last saw her Christmas 2019 and have not been able to visit since! She is turning 91 in August, and luckily my sister @EvMakesChanges is a whiz on Zoom and we'll have a good mother-daughters thing today at least
Tallies are done and we're still in the top 3! Not as great as our last week, but solid. Respectable. Hard work has paid off. Hats off everyone! Here's to another week of solid commitment to our health.
Before I forget,
Sunday weigh-ins due (thanks to our first 2 for getting right in there!)
@Yinxfed - well done!
@Terytha
@deniners2
@ob1msu - well done!

You're now in support team - and I am glad you are staying with us even in this tough time. Drop by any time, glean some inspiration from everyone, take a few deep breaths, and get back to the losing when you can. Hugs!texasruby354 wrote: »200 lbs, Requesting to be in the Support Team
Hi everyone! Sorry for the late start to the group. We had a family emergency and it kept me out of town all last week. I think this may go on for awhile, so I am asking to be on the support team and hang out and help in anyway I can to support everyone and check in when I can.
I live in sunny South Texas and honestly, have an amazing life. I have been very blessed but no matter how much I try, I cannot seem to lose weight. I am getting serious and am looking forward to really starting my weight loss journey with this group! Glad to be here 😘2 -
Stepper and Exerciser people! More numbers needed
It is looking good for @KellyBgetsfit and me - let's see who else is giving us a run for the money!

I'll go back and make sure I did not miss any of you, but if you have not posted them yet, try to get that in today. Thanks!!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!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and sending love to those for whom Mother’s Day is complicated.
@gak71 congratulations on your new boat. And @jugar I love the shanty song especially the kitty bob! lol 😂 There was a great movie we watched about a town of fishermen who became famous for their shanty album. Can’t remember the name at this moment. But it was really good.
Glad to hear our week as a team looked good. Now, I need to get moving. Will check back later.3 -

We bought a boat last week and took delivery today just in time for Mother’s Day. Definitely looking forward to staying active on the water! Also more motivation to get in better shape and stay there!
That's great! Now you have to learn some sea shanties. You can work out to them if you're really feeling ambitious - here's a fun one (complete with dancing cat) to start with -

Tried this today and thoroughly recommend: https://pinchofnom.com/recipes/nandos-peri-peri-chicken/ We used chicken breasts and had it with a mixed pepper rice, but I think it'd be equally nice with salad and/or chips. I don't think it would reheat well as the chicken would dry out, but could be eaten cold, so I might chuck an extra chicken breast in next time to try it for lunch. We aim to try a new recipe each week, and then a few of them make it into our meal plans regularly.
We went for a shorter walk than originally anticipated today because one of our cats has a bladder/urine infection. We took him to the vet on Friday after he started peeing outside of the litter tray, and so we didn't want to be out too long. We're having to shut the doors to our upstairs rooms (when do carpets stop being new?!) but there's still plenty of other places he could go. He's on antibiotics and we'll take another urine sample to the vet at the end of the week to be re-tested. We walked to the local designer outlet and it was heaving with small queues for most stores and big queues for the most popular. Got lunch at Subway, found a bench to sit on so we could eat, then walked home.
Have been cleaning and tidying, still got a reasonable amount to do as I want to bottom the rooms we can, because then we won't need to do such a deep clean again before the end of the month. Will carry on with that tonight/tomorrow evening! I'm not sure how many calories my Garmin thinks I'm burning (there has been a fair bit of scrubbing!), but will steer clear of the exercise calories today anyway.4 -

Good start to the week. Results could have been better if I stayed consistent. Progress in being less sedentary. Let's keep going!0 -
Hi2

Not a good keto weekend .... had pizza last night and then a potato and some cookie cake tonight. It was weird that none of them tasted as good as I remembered them tasting. Back to the grind tomorrow!6

Hi Joanne! I hope you don't weight 14 pounds... Gonna need that last digit!0 -
Thanks for all the numbers, everyone! They are so satisfying, and never leave me feeling bloated
There are still a few gaps in the step/exercise data, so I'll wait a bit longer and announce the results late tomorrow -
@micki48 , @steph1498, and @sunny9847 - those last few days will be lovely to have. Thanks!
And MONDAY is coming up. Seriously. Only two weigh-ins due:

@conleywoods those are beautiful! We mostly see bluebells (and dandylions!) around here.
Pleased with that loss, though I think I probably just sweat off another 0.3kg 😉 with a 7am run none the less! The sun is shining (unexpectedly, was due to rain all week) and it's very warm when you're in it.
I want to maintain my focus this month as I really want to get under 80kg. That's my next milestone and I'm so close. Not eating exercise calories really works for me, as @jugar suggested it might, so thats the key to my master plan. It's nice to have the option sometimes if I'm particularly hungry or having cravings, but it needs to be the exception rather than the rule.4 -
My son called me yesterday to wish me a happy Mother's day. So sweet, as he always makes a point of looking up the UK date too (he lives in Virginia). I was having a good day anyway, but he made it that little bit better ❤6

Monday weigh in
This was a good week for me. I had another whoosh. I felt I could have done better on some days but it all worked out great. I somewhat replicated last week, but walked a bit more every day with the peak being 7000 steps on one day. I started drinking green tea and apple cider ven....I also stuck to my carb limit for most days keeping it below 50g of carbs. I was in ketosis the entire week.
Pw 98 kg
Cw 95.6
Lost : 2.4
I know the loss will slow down at some point but I am enjoying it while it lasts.
Plan for the week is
1. Daily walks
2. Green tea and apple cider
3. 1200kcals
4. Max 35g of carbs except Tuesday 😊(60g with lots of walking)7 -

Moving Monday! It took me til almost 10am to get moving, but I got out my mat and did 12 minutes of Pilates. I also signed up for a free 30 minute class at a local studio. I'm excited to try out an actual Reformer.
@conleywoods Those wildflowers are amazing! How lucky to have them growing in your woods and seeing them on your walks.
@jugar I added my steps from last week. I will get in touch with you about taking back the steps. You have enough to do I'm sure. Unless someone else wants a turn recording steps!
Have a great day everyone!2 -
Morning everyone! The sun is back out in Alberta today - woo hoo! We are working from our trailer today so we will get out for a walk at lunch around the park since we drive home tonight. Don't like to leave exercise for transition times just in case, but I may try to fit in some additional movement tonight if possible.2

@micki48 Are you taking the free class at a Club Pilates? That’s where my wife and I take our classes and we love it! There are hundreds of Club Pilates across the US and they’ve started opening in Canada too.1
