    Good evening everyone. I hope you all enjoyed the first half of your weekend.

    @Jpedno I make homemade mcmuffins. Whole wheat eng muffin, 1 slice Canadian bacon, 1 egg. About 220 calories. I can add fruit or a slice of cheese. Good luck with the workouts and the cough. May one increase and one go away. You decide which. Lol

    @lindamtuck2018 thank you again for reminding me about DQ. I just got back. Unfortunately I got a medium when I ordered a small and my budget wouldn't hold a medium. I ate the ice cream to the cone and stopped, which is very hard. I love their cones.

    Check in for 8/14:
    Steps - 2856. I will get some when I pick up daughter in 30 minutes, but I'll take this amount.
    Calories - 1730. Changed some things around for the dip cone.
    Exercise - I got dizzy when on my feet more than 5 minutes all day. Started taking a multivitamin to get some iron replenished. Maybe that will help.

    @azkunk that happens. I jumped 4 lbs last weekend thinking I was doing well. It will pass.

    I'm ok with this. I've been sick and haven't been getting in the steps or the workouts. But I went to the gym today so that's a success. This cough is still lingering though.

    I dug out my copy of New Rules of Lifting For Women and am planning to start weight lifting with that plan that next week. In addition still to going to BodyPump class.

    Tomorrow I will grocery shop and meal plan for the week. I've done pretty good with that for the last two weeks so I want to continue. But I am getting a little sick of oatmeal for breakfast ... Need to add some more variety.

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 steps!
    8/12 8,405
    8/13 5,184

    I hope your cough gets better. I know personally I always gain weight when I am sick even when I was sick from covid. I love meal planning. Do you find it makes grocery shopping easier? It does for me. Good luck with your new weight lifting plan.

    A surefire way to get more steps is to NOT forget the watch on the charger (like I did this morning) 😉.
    Other than that, I have been intentionally parking at the far end of where I'm heading and going out for a few minutes at lunch.

    Leaving it on the charger happens or in my case I forgot to charge it and it died in middle of the day. I like those strategies for increasing your steps.

    Hi everybody. What a whirlwind of a week. We started school back in-person this past Monday. It wasn’t too bad for the most of the week. Thursday was an absolutely atrocious and scarring day, but I’m trying my hardest to move past it because in the end everything turned out fairly ok.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 and @lindamtuck2018 I will probably post weekly steps on Saturdays, if that’s ok.

    PW: 163.8
    CW: 162.2

    I’m happy to see the number coming back down. It had been on a upward trajectory, but like I said - being back at work helps keep me motivated to get my steps in, etc.

    Steps:
    8/9: 9,595
    8/10: 8,939
    8/11: 8,005
    8/12: 10,121
    8/13: 3,466

    Eventually I’ll get back to responding to people’s posts. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

    Awesome loss and steps! I can’t imagine teaching at the best of times let alone in the middle of a pandemic. I hope this week goes smoothly.

    I see a couple of positives. One you have lost over 20 pounds and two you did well this week. Keep aiming to meet those goals and the scales will move in the right direction.

    @rlaskey2 and @meagan_smartiepants1970 hugs to both of you and your families. I hope that no one develops covid and everyone recovers quickly.
    @lindamtuck2018 I hope your granddaughter heals quickly. Enjoy your long awaited trip with your husband to see loved ones and old friends. Hi
    @rwood566 hope you are feeling better.
    @red1185 stay safe at school. My sister teaches 3rd grade in a high transmission county in our state which forbids mask mandates and has laws in place that pretty much won’t allow schools going online. Cases are increasing here but state only reports data once a week. Due to fevers, I had to go through covid protocals and take a covid test. Negative. Just food poisoning from baby carrots. Had a temp of 103F second half of yesterday but no temps today. Yippee! Appetite and fluid consumption not quite back yet but so much better.
    Have a great Sunday!

    Thanks! This trip is just a few days at a cottage with my daughter and family. Mid September will be our big trip to Newfoundland to see our parents and other family.

    I think when the kids come over today we are going to DQ if I have enough calories. That sucks being dizzy like that. I hope the iron helps. Stay close to something you can hang on to when having a dizzy spell.

    Impromptu get togethers are the best. It’s awesome that you got up and worked out instead of blowing it off.

    Saturday check in

    ✅ Steps
    ❌ Sleep
    ✅ Exercise
    ❌ Reminders 7/8

    Busy day yesterday so lots of steps. I think I might remove sleep from my goals as I am doing everything I can to achieve good sleep and I feel like it is not a smart goal anymore. I am going for a swim and workout in a half an hour. I am going for a short walk with a friend after my swim. Going to visit my son for his birthday and the grandkids are coming over later. A busy day!

    It’s two days until we are leaving for the cottage. I am thinking a lot how I will handle food, logging, etc. I know the biggest thing is I need to be mindful of my serving sizes and snack food. It’s only 4 days so a blip in the big picture.

    @lindamtuck2018 and @Beautyofdreams thanks for the support! I’m trying my hardest to stay safe: lots of vitamins, rest, fruits/veggies, masks galore…

    I’m sorry to hear that about your sister’s school. I know that must be so frustrating and scary that they can’t even have safety protocols in place. I hope she stays safe as well!!

    I’m glad the covid test was negative!! I know that was a relief. “Fortunately” it was just food poisoning - even though that’s awful, too! Stay safe and healthy!

    8/14
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 80oz
    Steps 7006

    We had an absolute blast at the fair yesterday! The kids loved the midway and the rides. We got to walk through buildings and see animals, watch a wild encounters show and a bike trick show, and play bingo! Food went great for myself. We were so busy the whole time, coupled with the fact that I didn't want anything from the stand where we fed the kids lunch, it was after 4pm the first time I checked the time and I still hadn't broken my fast haha. The crazy thing was, I didn't even feel hungry at that point. I decided to get a fresh squeezed lemonade, I ended up eating 4 of my daughters french fries later, and then had snacks from the snack bag in the car on the way home, and also once we got home. I don't even regret not getting anything at the fair, my husband tried enough stuff for both of us haha. I guess I was more focused on the fun than the food!

    @minstrelofsarcasm great pleasure to meet you!

    Good afternoon from a busy Sunday afternoon. As per usual, weekends are so busy, I feel bad I don't get around here to often. But it doesn't mean I haven't been working. 😬

    Yesterday was my Son's birthday (25th), and we all had a good time, and I didn't even over eat! Thank goodness for Keto Cheese cake! :) 😃

    I woke up at 3:00am Saturday morning with gout starting to flare up a little in my right foot, but thankfully an ice pack, anti-inflams, and a Tensor Bandage was enough to turn the tide by this morning. It appears I may need to up my allopurinol to the highest dose, which I sort of knew already as per blood tests. No rush, I've pushed thing a little harder in general this week or 2, and I could be wrong but it looks like I'm on track for a good showing on the scale tomorrow. I'm pretty sure high Calorie burns and weight loss also push my uric acid levels up leading to gout. Anyway, on with the story. 😉

    Both Lynn and I had a fantastic sleep last night. It was refreshingly cool outside, and I guess it was just what the doctor ordered. I nailed 8.5 hours sleep with no drugs in site and a sleep score of 88. HELL YEAH! 🥳

    And being a fast Sunday (around our 30th consecutive) we just got up and headed to the Lake for a Walk on the board walk... And decided to spice it up by taking the long way around back to the car. Which involved many more hills to climb and with it a decent burn. 🔥🔥

    Also had an amazing visit with my best friend and his Wife... Man I love those people. This guy will be my best man in a years time, and I really hate that I haven't got to see them much this last few years. 🤗

    And that's about it... Weigh in tomorrow morning. What will the numbers be? 🤔😃
