My weight can swing wildly and violently, I was up 6 at one point this week. I think keto can help get me where I want to be but I feel like I’ll need to find something different once I get to maintenance. Still down 45 overall.

Morning WaistAways!
I've forgiven myself for pressing snooze instead of doing my workout this morning. Progress over perfection, right? Today and this entire weekend the weather is supposed to be gorgeous, so that means landscaping work will be in full swing. I know that I will be carrying a minimum of 20 rocks from the driveway, down the 42 steps to the retaining wall by the water's edge. I think those 20 round trips up and down the stairs carrying 15lbs each trip will make up for a missed workout.

I've set reminders about the zoom call but it will depend on where 2pm falls in the progress of the to-do list Saturday. I can't use zoom on my cell phone or work computer since my employer doesn't consider zoom "secure enough" and blocks access. I'll grab hubby's cell or dig out the personal laptop if I'm not still hauling rocks or in the middle of something else insane like taking the front wheels off the car to find out what's making that weird noise....
Hopefully by 2pm we're winding down on the hard work and will be getting ready for a boat ride as well @ashleycarole86. Congrats on the new boat. super exciting.

Happy Friday everyone!

That happens to all of us. No worries. You've got this. You are doing great. Keep doing what you know works for you.

@ellz_runs Great loss. See, one week not showing what you want on the scale will not stop you. You know what to do.

@SMcFall0215 Nice loss!!! And you're in the 150s!! Hurray. Keep it up.

@conleywoods Your day off and hike sounds lovely. I am especially thinking about the beautiful wildflowers you would see, on top of a cute bunny and some mushrooms. Are you collecting to eat the mushrooms or just find them? Good job keeping the day in control despite the change in routine.

@jugar Your garden work sounds amazing! I am imagining plants everywhere in your house. How big is your outside garden?

@ashleycarole86 and @PlaneMonkey You are lucky ladies! How nice to float on a boat and take in the beautiful day. Enjoy!!! And what's your address? . Hope to see you both on the Zoom call tomorrow. It was so much fun last time. Looking forward to it.

This week sure did blow by for me. We have been working on a project in our bedroom. Some moisture from outside cracked the paint off the walls on the inside. We repaired that, and have now freshly painted our room. So glad that's checked off the list. Now on to painting the LR/DR.

I never hopped back on yesterday, but it was a good day. I worked in my yard for a few hours. I agree with @ashelycarole86, there is nothing like hard work for exercise, especially if it is outside. There is always more to do, but it brings me great joy to look at it. Between yard work and the bedroom project (and cooking dinner), I found myself on the sofa at just about 8pm feeling as sleepy as midnight. I decided I was going to go for a short walk because I hadn't for quite some time with the excitement of my SIL's recent hospitalization. But, no excuse now. I was tired-er than tired, but I put on those sneakers and went out. It was only a 25 minute walk, fitbit called it a "brisk walk". Maybe because it was a little chillier than I expected and I was in a t-shirt. Anyway, it felt great to get out and walk And energizing too. It makes no sense, but exercise does give you more energy. (maybe it does make sense - LOL) Very productive day. I was so busy, I didn't even have dessert and I intended to. Maybe I should stay busier every day.

I did my Pilates for flexibility this morning. About 11 great minutes!! Feels good. I have granddaughter duty later. I think we will plant some flowers I bought.

Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow!!!

I ended up being pretty sick today.. no walk at lunch, no lunch really... feeling a bit better now but it was not my best day. First time I've been that derailed since I started
