    Hubby and I went for a 3 mile walk this morning 🤩🤗 I'm so proud of him! He even shaved off time from his first walk to today. My daughter wanted to keep reading past her one hour mark, so we read for a total of 90 minutes. I love our snuggly, one-on-one reading time. It's so much sitting though. Then it was the boy's turn, another hour of snuggly time. Oh my booty was tired from sitting for so long. Went on the bike for a half hour, that helped get the feeling back😆 At dinner, noticed that I only had about 8,000 steps in, so after I cleaned up, went out for a quick 2 mile walk, then drank my fifth cup of seltzer. Now, it's time for some snuggly tv time.

    Way to go Downsizers. Numero uno yet again.

    It's bad when your second highest calorie meal is dessert. Only 50 calories short of tops. I didn't read the calories and serving size of the Madelines.

    Check in for 6/14:
    Steps - 15304. Didn't do much after the walk. To hot and feet hurt. I don't know how I'm going to walk 20 miles, much less 60. I'll work up as much as possible though.
    Calories - 1750 with no scrimping and 490 calorie dessert.
    Exercise - 6 mile walk. Trying to find a long walk path for training.

    Tomorrow I get a holter harness for 24 hours. It should be interesting. Sleep department called today. I stop breathing 6 times an hour. Mild obstructive apnea. I'm holding off on the cpap for now since I'm still losing weight and that can change the settings. Frustrating that I was fine on the walk but got lightheaded quickly the rest of the day.

    Good luck to @my_monkey_my_circus on your surgery tomorrow. It's a huge step.

    HOW? Did you have the strength to go swimming after walking over 24,000 steps? Are you a Flintstone's kid? 😆 I love seeing those remarkably high step counts, 24,000👏🏻👏🏻 Way to go Amy staying under your calorie goal, swimming for a half hour AND walking 24,000 steps! 🎉🎉

    @rwood566
    You hit over 15,000 steps AND you did a SIX mile walk!! Roger, that's AMAZING 👏🏻👏🏻 Wait, what? Is this for the trip with the kids? Walking 20 miles, is that in one day? What's this about 60 miles? Interest is piqued.
    You are a calorie budgeting wizard! You have such a low calorie goal and then you were able to save enough for a yummy dessert. Now, that is planning.🙌🏻🙌🏻
    I'm sorry to hear that you became lightheaded. Did you get lightheaded because not enough electrolytes? Water may not be enough to keep you hydrated, especially when you go on a SIX MILE walk (so impressed).

    @runzfromzombies
    Congrats on your loss! How are you doing?

    @roz0810
    Nice step day 👏🏻👏🏻 I've been meaning to ask, have you found any new walking videos that you like for your treadmill?

    @Z10Rtza
    Ziortza, I am so terribly sorry that you are going through so much right now. Saying last week was crazy, was an understatement. I'm so sorry 🤗 I'm glad to hear that you have the support of your girlfriend and that you are still getting in steps, especially with everything going on. We are here for you. Please take care of yourself in every way you can. You are a strong woman. You'll get through this difficult time and come out better from it. 🤗

    @Poobah1972
    Gahhh! Technology needs to work. Well, at least tomorrow you'll get that heart rate monitor on and working. Wow, it sounds like you really pushed yourself on the elliptical. Way to go Jonathan, that's a tough workout. Do you prefer doing your laps walking outside or the elliptical?

    I know this isn't what The Great Dolly meant, but it's raining outside- just waiting for the thunder to stop so that we can go for a wet walk.

    There is so much green in your check in. Well done! Theresa, how do you do it all?

    @amymartin555
    Another awesome step day!

    @rwood566
    You sure are training hard for the 3 day walk. When does it happen? I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea years ago. I went for another sleep study and this time it was severe but I had gained a ton of weight. I had the test done several month after the second as I had lost a good bit of weight. It now is mild except when I am on my back. I choose not to get the cpap and have another study when I lose more weight. So yes, losing weight definitely helps with sleep apnea.

    @Z10Rtza
    I am sorry you have so many things happening. Lots of virtual hugs!

    @Poobah1972
    25 minutes! Holy, what a workout! You are amazing!
