Found yesterday very hard to get back to normal eating. I wouldn’t say I ate the healthiest but we were very tired and grabbed simple food yesterday. Have a very healthy meals planned today just have to watch how many apples I eat when apple picking this morning. Exercise will be Apple picking (it’s a big orchard plus a huge corm maze. If I get my suit cases unpacked I will try for a swim.
Now for the bad news. It looks like the pool will be closing on Wednesday. Vaccine passports will be starting in Ontario that day and the property management has no way to monitor the situation at this point. Hopefully, something is figured out between Monday and Wednesday morning.
Happy Sunday!

It was? I didn't know that. We tend to use Joseph's Lavash bread.

Well, the weather was too beautiful yesterday and is supposed to be just as beautiful today. So why the heck are we winterizing the back deck and Gazebo???? WHY I TELL YOU??? 😁👍😎
So yeah, we decided to put that task off for another month. As long as it's done by mid-October we should be good to go! 😋 (Cept now I have my theatre room that leads to the back deck cluttered with winterization stuff.. doh).
But putting all that work off, meant we suddenly had all sorts of time on our hands to get some cardio in after all.
So, on top of a groceries, and a bit of Chest and Tricep workout this morning we went for bit of a Hike yesterday. We pushed a little harder, a little further, and I'll be the first to tell you MY KNEES are completely Knackered... My feet Ouchies.... But other than that, I'll be fine. 😋
Set a new PB for Distance, Calories burned, and soreness. 😅
PEACE! 🤗

Your steps have really picked up the last few days. What have you done to increase them? Great burn yesterday!
I got my butt back to the gym lol. I stopped going for a few days as I was going through some emotional stuff. I do 30 minutes in the treadmill plus an hour min of strength teaming and my walks with Jax throughout the day. This gets me up there on my step count.

Wasn't as active this week, no runs, but long walks and stuck to Kickboxing. Looks like switching from running to walking made a little difference to my weight loss this past week.2 -

At least it’s a loss. The week started strong but work stress, kid stress and dance/band mom duties got the best of me 😞2 -
Goodness, y'all! I will be back, just not yet. My life has been insanely crazy, and I am overwhelmed. I put "me" on the backburner again.
After my mom's three week hospitalization from June into July, and then home with a PICC line for six weeks, moving my daughter into her first apartment at college, helping my son get back to his apartment at college, Hurricane Ida and my dad's upcoming total knee replacement, I just don't see how I can make the time for me. We did go to the mountains at the end of July for a week which was wonderful, but even that was so much work before and after!
Anyway, I just wanted to tell y'all that I haven't been on here reading anything and hope to start doing that soon. I will be back to taking care of me, hopefully in a couple of weeks once my dad recovers a bit. His surgery is in three days and lives alone (widower), so I'll be helping him a lot.
Hurricane Ida hit my area with lots of downed power lines and large trees. Thankfully, our home was spared and no trees fell on it. We only lost some shingles, large tree limbs and part of a fence. We were without power for a little over a week, no water for a few days and then had to boil it for at least a week, no internet for about two weeks and then it would come on and go off, no cell phone data that would work for about a week and then super slow after that. Both of my parents and my daughter evacuated to my house. So, it's been so busy.
I have not given up nor will I. When I can, I'll be back to it. I've gained about ten pounds which I am okay with considering the circumstances.
See y'all soon!!!
p.s. I sure hope to be able to start back up with the step challenge and my weigh-ins in October. My dad will be one week post-op, so I'll still be helping him, so we will see. When he has his surgery on Wednesday, I want to get on here and read all 25 pages so I can catch up to what's going on:)6 -

Sounds like everything has been extremely stressful. I know it’s hard to find some me time with all is going on but try to squeeze a few minutes for yourself. Even if it’s a five minute walk, a few minutes to meditate or read a few pages of a book. As for the 10 pounds, when you come back you can get it off again.
When I was in Newfoundland we had a category 1 hurricane. I was thinking about you going through Ida. I can only imagine the damage from that after seeing what a category 1 can do. Healing vibes for your father.1 -
@Poobah1972
Congrats on those PB’s. You are definitely getting fitter. I think I am going to try some keto products such as the different breads. My brother is doing keto and he said there are some great breads and wraps. I forgot to ask where he gets them. I apologize if I asked this before but where do you shop for them?
@rlaskey2
Great job on finishing! What will you be doing next? I know it will be challenging to fit exercise in when you start working and juggling family.
@mthomas0228
Great day! That was a nice sleep. Any tips?
@Fab464
Awesome loss! Kickboxing sounds like it would be a fun exercise. Here’s to another great week.
@azkunk
It has to be hard juggling everything. Is there anything you can do to get some relief from the stress?

Weigh-in Day: Monday (Sep 20, 2021)
PW: 210.3
CW: 211.4
SW: 240
I need to snap out of it! It was a pretty crazy week at work and I didn't exercise as much as I should have. Going out for a trivia night fund raiser for the High School Marching Band on Friday and a high school reunion on Saturday equated to less than ideal food choices and maybe a few bad examples of portion control. I guess I shouldn't beat myself up too much as I'm still down 2.2 pounds over the last 4 weeks but I need to turn this around. That's it ... I'm going for a walk!2 -

Weigh-in: Monday

GAIN: 1.7 Pounds
Good Monday Morning, 😀
Slept great, 86 sleep score. Not much to say today, the scale doesn't like me this morning. And I don't like it. I had a feeling this was going to happen. I'm certain all it will mean is I'm going to get a some level of a woosh in the future. Probably? I'll just leave it at that. :P
Or it is possible upping protein is working as intended to build more muscle? But I'm not so sure.... 😜
It is what it is... And it's bound to happen from time to time, I'm lucky it hasn't happened more often. So, there is that. 😎
On a more positive note, hit a new PB for resting heart rate at 63. I find it coocoo bananas how quickly it's been falling. Where is the ground floor? I'm still quite heavy and it's already looking terribly good. What will it be when I'm down another 120 pounds? or more... I guess we will find out.
Have a good one folks!
P.S. TMI, immediately after breakfast I had the biggest "Movement" all year long. If I could of had that prior to my weigh in, I would of 100% had a loss today. Thems the breaks I guess. lol

I Finnish 9 week control freak. My daughter wants to try a dancing one called get up with me but she won’t do it often enough so I think I will do another in between. There is another version of control freak called off the wall that I may tried since I am enjoying this trainer.
Yesterday went to a friends house for the football. And by football game I mean I sat around with the moms outside and bloody Mary’s while the guys watched the game. My kind of football!3 -

Glad you stopped when you felt your back. It was still a great workout. I hope your back heals fast. Thanks Roger!1 -
@mari_moulin
Great start to the week by already getting 1 of your 4 gym sessions. Thank you!
@Piqueaboo
Awesome steps! Hope you are enjoying your vacation.
@jimboden3
Be gentle with yourself as you are switching from recovery mode to weight loss mode. You are smart looking at the overall weight loss. Now get out the door and enjoy your walk!
@Poobah1972
The gain is minor in all that you accomplished the last week. You hiked and got some personal bests. The scales don’t tell the entire picture. Next time sit there until your movement happens. 🤷♀️ What else can I say but an awesome elliptical session.
@rlaskey2
That sounds like the best way to watch football. Good for you looking at 2 exercise programs.

Sunday check in

Zone minutes 22/650
❌ Stay within calories (over by 33)

Not a lot of zone minutes even though my steps are high for me. Most of the steps came from Apple picking. I am still finding it hard to get back to normal eating. I did good overall yesterday but got really hungry in the evening.
Happy Monday!
