You need to be careful. I have a granddaughter that will be 16 in December. Time goes by so fast. Love your positive thoughts about yourself!
Thanks Linda ... I do need to be more careful ... It was very smokey and still a bit dark ... I was trying to go around the shrubs that were in the way and my foot slipped off the sidewalk ... Glad it is just bruised and of course swollen ...it could of been a lot worse ...I think I will take a day off from walking and just do yard work today as exercise and depending how I feel tomorrow resume to walking outside.. they are saying rain Thursday and Friday (boy do we need it ..we have been in a drought for years and we have 11 fires going on here in California2 -

For transformation Tuesday...
Me around my heaviest, about 185 (I don't have many pics from then):
Me at my lowest weight, about 125, after a year of doing keto with zero cheats: (December, 2018):
Me at my current weight, about 140:
My goal weight is 132 pounds, which is a good maintenance weight for me. Weighing 125 was a super challenging weight to maintain. I want to be able to live life and not obsess about my weight, and enjoy the occasional treat!6 -

Alrighty... We have some new toys in the house today. 🥳
First toy... A ShoulderRok. Basically, this thing is a 48" loadable mace that uses Olympic plates. It basically trains you to be Thor god of Thunder. Lol. The idea is you learn to swing this thing with two hands behind your back, switching hands and rotation direction.... Or eventually you can learn to do it single handed. It basically amazing for shoulders, shoulder mobility, and rotational speed or just stretching the shoulders. And probably the best warm-up you can have for your shoulders going into Chest Day etc. Like any other exercise you start with next to zero added weight, and slowly over the months etc, you add more weight. We're talking a little at a time. Even 1.25 pounds is lots right now. The entire shaft is solid steel as it is.
Second Toy... The Medicine Ball Rebounder is finally here, the one I wanted and it's as good or better than expected. Super Stable, super quiet. It throws the 20lb Slam ball back at me so fast, If I get tired I'm liable to take a hard shot to face... So, let's hope that doesn't happen. lol
I also have a third toy sort of on route... It's just a second set of Iron Master Dumbbells. A full kit went up on Kijiji (Canadian CraigsList) today, and this is so rare (i've been looking every day since i landed the first one). And the seller of all places was selling it the same community my mom lives in. The gentlemen delivered it to my Mom's and even carried it in the house for her... I even saved a few 100 bucks over what it would of cost me if I had the oppertunity to buy it new. Which is impossible, still due to covid.
Anywhoo, this means I'll have over 350 pounds of IM Plates to disappears over 3 sets of handles... And I'll be able to sell my Screw type Handles and plates, and the extra Dumbbell stand. Yahooo Exciting times. I don't believe I'll need more IM plates or dumbbells at this point. lol
Alright that's that.
Tomorrow... Poobah Vs. Rebounder. 😬
Place your bets! 😅
Goodnight 🤗🤗🤗

@MJ_Keto
You look great! It’s good you have a goal weight that is realistic for you.
@Bluetail6
Fantastic intensity minutes. You would have been proud of me today. I did a lap around the apartment every time I completed a task. Took me longer to get my cleaning done but added some extra activity.
@Poobah1972
You could offer personal training at your home gym. It is looking awesome. I think you are going to have a hard workout tomorrow. Can’t wait to hear about it. Hope you are feeling better.

Finally got the Apple Watch that I have wanted for so long on Sunday. Left for work trip yesterday with the charger just not the right plug for the charger and watch is dead 😩 so no steps for me until Friday I guess. Oh well they are probably minimal being in meetings all day. The food here has been lack luster too! On the bright side my new coworkers are all very nice and the meeting context is great.
I had time to work out this am but couldn’t get my internet to connect on my laptop. It was dark out so I didn’t feel comfortable walking and I didn’t want to go to the gym.4 -

Linda, fantastic job. I love the laps!! Even if cleaning took a little longer, I bet you felt just fine about that.😊2 -

A couple of weeks ago, I ran across a thread that you posted to some months ago. It was one of those progress threads with photos. Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on your progress!!😊2 -
Transformation Tuesday:
Tell us three positive things about yourself!
1) Because I have known real fear, I am NOT afraid.
2) I love my life and embrace joy.
3) I am very grateful.

Good evening everyone. The week is 40% ever. Woot.
Check in for 10/5:
Steps - 4908
Calories - 1590.
Exercise - slow walk tonight to try loosening up my legs. They hate me for the gym yesterday. I hope to hit the gym tomorrow.4 -
I posted this on my wall a few hours ago. Thought I would share it here as well.
So, I'm running around preparing dinner, etc. Cat startles me; l spill elderberry juice all over myself. It is purple and sticky😉. I go upstairs to change so I can finish my workout. And, the smallest pair of shorts I own... FIT!!😳🤣🤣.
Yes, for those of you who keep track of my antics... I am going to post a photo 10/14!!6
