@lindamtuck2018 dedication or obsession. Such a fine line between and only one side is good. Happy soon to be birthday. You are 2 weeks or so older than me. Now I may start calling you the old one if I can remember it. Lol.
Went to an asian supermarket. That place is dangerous for me. So many new things to try. After that I shared a burger with daughter and then went to a gameroom. Had some fun but it's so loud now. Guess I have old man ears now.4 -
Ok what I did not do today is meet my sleep goal but I knew that because I had to pick my son from work early morning. He works 3rd. I did not do my jumps, smart hoop or kettlebells.
What I did do was........challenge myself to beat my highest step count and I did it!
40,000 steps!!!!!!
Now I am going to sit for the rest of the day as I can't move.8 -

You baffle me... Plain and simple. Just promise me to take really good care of your self Megan!
Why do I baffle you?? I have finally learned to listen to my body ... I took yesterday off and slept most of the afternoon away .... I wasn't planning on doing almost 10 miles today ... We just start walking and walking and walking (I don't look at my phone or my fitbit when I am on our walks)

Finally started by new work out program on beachbody called 9 week control freak. It requires a door track for for bands. I bought a small thing that does the same thing on amazon. Day 1 was pretty good need to get used to the new routine.
I felt like I accomplished a good bit yesterday and was able to take a walk in the afternoon with my friend since heat finally broke. Dinner was zucchini boats with chicken sausage.
I just googled the workout and it sounds intense.75 minutes (nearly 3.5 miles) on the treadmill! I’m tired lol
Have a great day everybody!
That’s along time! Great job!1 -

Ahaha.. I'm just astounding by the amount of walking you've been doing. I sort of see the rubber from your shoes melting, and your toes starting to stick out the end?

Thanks! I don't think I will be doing it again any time soon but I thought I would try today. Now my legs and feet hurt do bad I can barely walk anywhere. Hopefully tomorrow i can still get 10,000.3 -
Skin grafts will be continuing into July. Rats! Now I have to shuffle around some appointments to accommodate the skin grafts. Will be starting next week with leg day as I have to stay off my feet completely for 2 days after each graft. At least I will be fresh next week. Didn't sleep at all last night and have been blinking since 3 pm.
@lindamtuck2018 I am older than you. I will be 58 y.o. this Fall. If it is any comfort, my slowest period of weight loss occurred over the 3 months of last Summer. Just think we tend to hold onto water weight easier in the hot months. Just keep on being consistent and eventually you will see progress.4 -

Woo hoo! I woke up early, enjoyed morning coffee while reading about your amazing accomplishments, and went on a 5 mile walk. Had a terrific day with the kids, they made squeeze bottle pancakes with chocolate chips. Donated three bags of children’s clothes and toys, dropped off a fourth bag to a friend of my son’s. After dinner, had my son come with me for a 3 mile walk. On the way back. We stopped off to see the parrots. While he was dancing with the parrots, I checked my watch tio pause our walk, and notice my battery died. My son said that he knew and j knew that we went for a walk, it doesn’t matter if the watch didn’t get the right number. I was going to counter that I wanted the credit, when I realized what type of message I would be sending to my child 🤦🏻♀️ I just smiled and told him that he’s right.6 -

How many miles was it and how long did it take you? I tried for 25,000 but it was over 10miles and took hours just to manage 23,000 my PR I do believe. I don't know my hips have 40,000 steps in a day but I'd sure like to build up to that.

Hi! My fitbit say it is 15.7 miles. It took me all day. I basically just watched a bunch of YouTube videos and just walked. I did some speed walking as well as slow walking. It is not something I can do everyday as I would get nothing done but I decided I wanted the challenge just to see if I could do it.4 -

I walked to Timmies a different way yesterday and it was a bit longer. My steps are slightly lower as I really didn’t move as much as usual the rest of the day. Not sure where I am going to walk today. I might call one of the ladies in the building and go with her. It will be the first time we walked together and I am nervous about keeping up with her. She is in her late 70’s and I am in awe of her.
Kids are coming over for the night. We are having pizza again as it is just easier. My youngest granddaughter is a vegetarian so pizza works for everyone except my husband. 😂. I have leftovers for him.
Have a fantastic Friday!
