    Thanks so much for the encouraging words and the validation that it’s ok to be mad at the trainer. 😂 I’m out on the step ups forever. I plan to do weights, some cardio classes and the water aerobics classes when I go back.

    @uyister
    Thanks for your awesome advice, especially the when you feel ready (heart, body and mind) go back to the gym and try again. 😃

    @sargemarcori
    Sorry to hear of your injury. Happy to hear you’re back at it and having success! I am very encouraged by your last paragraph. As far as working with a trainer…no comment. 😂😂😂

    Don't get discouraged @wanderinglight - the fact that you are logging in foods and bravely getting on the scale is a big win. When you yoyo up it stinks but it makes the next loss even sweeter. Stay strong!

    Thank you! That helps :)

    This weekend is going to be highly physical for me, with a lot of moving boxes and furniture around. But I'm looking forward to it.

    My 26 year old son is going to come live with me and my partners for a couple months while he saves money for an apartment closer to his new job. He's a welder, and was caught in the trap of "If everyone wants one year experience, how do you get the year of experience?" He found a job, but it's three counties away from where he's living now, and an hour and a half commute. If he stays with us, the commute is 40 minutes, which is much better.

    So he's moving into the sewing/guest room, complete with his large L shaped desk and gaming computer, which means my boyfriend can't sleep in there any more. (Boyfriend has been having nightmares related to PTSD and so doesn't want to be in bed with me while that's going on.)

    Today we moved the one bed and mattress that Boyfriend's been sleeping on into the office, which involved moving furniture and taking the drafting table down to the garage, and then I packed up most of the guest supplies and the decoration, and all of my sewing stuff, and got that stacked in the closet in such a way that he still has some hanging space. So Boyfriend is sleeping in his office, and tomorrow I'll sweep and dust and mop and generally clean and tidy the room that will be Eldest Son's room up. He can't move in till the new mattress arrives from Amazon, which should be next week sometime.

    Of course now my bedroom is a mess because some overflowed stuff went into there, which I've got to find a place to put. If it's not one thing it's another.

    Tonight I've still got a pork shoulder to pull but I think I'm just going to stuff the pulled meat into gallon bags and refrigerate it overnight rather than go through separating it into 6 ounce portions and bagging it up. I can do that tomorrow when I'm fresh.

    Hi I’m 53 and 5’6”.

    July Start Weight: 226.5 (6/30/21)
    July Goal Weight: 223.0
    Ultimate Goal Weight: 170

    I am happy with this loss especially since I didn’t exercise much this week. I had a night that I barely slept and now that I’m older it seems to affect me for the next 2 days. So I didn’t have enough energy to exercise. Then yesterday I had a stressful eye doctor appointment that just wiped me out afterwards. I did meet my daily step challenge 4 days this week which was my goal. Hopefully this next week will be better!

    I was up a pound this morning, which is no surprise given I had to take some ibuprofen for my shoulders when I got up, they were that sore and stiff. It's just fascinating to me watching the body's rhythms as I go through my day.

    • coming up short on my steps
    • coming up short on the number of workouts
    • nutrition is more intentional: had 3x meals out this week and had a few drinks 1 night: need to respect my deficit goal more

    3rd GW: 186 overweight but not obese

    Weight loss Goals:
    1st GW: 220 The lowest weight I got to when I last lost significant weight.
    2nd GW: Onderland 1st, maintain for a few weeks then
    3rd GW: 186 overweight but not obese
    4th GW: 150 lbs. Healthy weight Then evaluate what weight is best for me. I just want to get to a healthy weight for me.

    Goals:
    Get 8+ glasses of water, log in calories daily, get enough sleep and stay under my calorie goal. ✓ for the early part of the week anyway
    Up N.E.A.T. ✓
    Get regular exercise:
    1-2 strength training a week ✓
    5 days of walking ✓✓✓
    Wait to have breakfast until I feel hungry while I am working remotely. ✓
    Up my vegetables and make sure I have fruit daily ✓

    I started the week well last week drinking alot more water and getting exercise in. Yesterday I didn't drink enough water or get exercise but NEAT was probably relatively high. It will be a busier week with going into the office on Tuesday for the 1st time and a big Drs appointment on Thursday. Hopefully I can keep up the progress with weight loss going though.

    We set a family (immediate) to do spreadsheet in which we all try to get at least 1 thing done a week/weekend. So that was what I was doing yesterday. Also my siblings and I are stepping up our monitoring of our mother. She has stepped up her assistance level at her retirement community where she is living.

    Hope we all have a great weekend.

    @AlexandraFindsHerself glad your fingers are better and you are making progress with weight loss again as you wanted.

    @itisjessdarling nice vacation progress

    @girlinkaz I’m impressed how you are turning a setback (lock down) into a win by making healthy foods and getting more exercise.

    @wanderlight and @strong_and_healthy4me The 1st time I started to have knee issues was after a free session with a trainer at my gym. My knee went out after that and it hasn’t been the same since. Yes I have arthritis in my knees but it didn’t really bother me until after that.

    @sargemarcori glad you are having such a great week.

    @VickyEltonGreen and @JuneyCleaves Congratulations on reaching Onderland!

    @JNettie73 looks like progress on more than one front.

    nice catching up with all of your posts

    I went up a pound since yesterday, lol. I relaxed a bit yesterday (though i was careful to still eat less than I burned) and part of that was a very salty but delicious pesto on my sandwich.

    @JuneyCleaves Thank you!! It wasn't easy at first. I used to take 50+ minutes to do the 25 minutes workout with a lot of pausing the videos etc. I still follow Tanya for the modified versions. You can try one of his more dancing ones (Hip Hop Abs) or just any others and definitely modify to your comfort level.
