This cracks me up. It is so easy to forget the number! Unless it is shocking - so I am assuming it was not too crazy either way@jugar I’ll weigh in tomorrow if that’s ok. I got on the scale this morning. Got off. Did my Pilates. Ate breakfast and totally forgot the number. So I’ll try again tomorrow. I know it was up a few tenth but can’t remember exactly. Oy! 😂

I remember those days of tons of travel for work - you have my sympathies! For everyone - the previous weight, weigh-in day, "addressing" the post to me - none of this matters. Just putting in your current weight is always enough. You know what does matter? You lost 2.6 pounds while having a completely crazy week!! You inspire us too.
All the talk about "episodes" and things to watch is making me miss my exercise bike at home! I love pedalling madly through some exciting episode of something, and feeling good about avoiding just sitting to watch something. Sadly, at my dad's the exercise bike is pretty dismal, and not in the same space as my dad and step-mom. Since I'm here to hang out with them I have not gotten any pedalling yet, but at least I'm getting walks and I did my Pilates today. I'll post all my exercise for the week tomorrow.
Weigh-ins due up through Saturday, and Week 3 will be a wrap:

This made me laugh - I feel the same way often.1 -
Can't wait to see the cake! I do love Halloween - what a fun time to have a birthday! My fitbit is so old I don't remember which kind it is, but it does the job.I am a baker! This will be my first time piping in a LONG time so I am definitely going to practice some skills on the 2-3 days leading up to Bday. I went through my baking storage box today and realized I had a couple other tools and things on hand that will help the design element. Going to be quite a different-than-usual grocery list this Sunday!
@jugar and @kali225 There's a short loop at the 'castle' with lots of benches and there's the bigger loop around the inlet 'pleasure bay' - also benches but not as often (thinking of your dad @jugar). I'm game to meet up and do some serious marching if there ever seems a good opportunity.
@conleywoods I like that sensory bin - never heard of such a thing (reminded me of my dad coming home from work sometimes with a big bag of m&ms, we 3 kids would each get a bowlful and the color sorting began!). Glad your week ended on a good note.
@micki and @ashenmoon hope today finds your aches & pains history! @planemonkey - ha! it's been so long since I've done evil squats but I can remember and know just what you mean about the toilet.
@evmakeschanges - SOUP! you remind me I've got a few butternut squashes in a cool spot - going to pull one today and get going on some healthy cooking and prep for the upcoming week
- and I'll say it now to all on here (commitment).... I'm going to log every day starting today!

Happy Saturday!
Well, it's 50th high school grad reunion day - I never thought I would ever go to one of these, but it should be fun. It is looking like a pleasant day, if not as warm as the last few, and I already got in 10,000 steps before breakfast! Good dog.
@eggfreak
Logging! It helps so much, even though it is not always a pleasant task. Just putting up with it makes a difference, though, and making the commitment to it public is the way to go.
I'm off! Have a great day, all.6 -
Have fun @jugar !!! What an amazing celebration you will have. Enjoy 2

Guys! I just needed to hop on and share this: I did 5 days of the Epic 2 program this week - 4 on consecutive days! And I only started on Monday. I can't believe how much stronger I have become.
I'll be back tomorrow with my weigh-in.
Enjoy your Saturday, Friends!8 -
Posting first so I don’t forget.
CW 199.9
Barely hung on to it. Not too worried. This week was challenging with the back thing.
Will check back later 🙂6 -
@YinxFed Hey that's awesome! Noticing increases to strength is such a nice feeling. Way to go.
@micki48 Nice work holding on despite your pain!
It's pouring rain and cold here today but I got out for my walk. Nothing a good rain jacket couldn't handle
But staying on the couch was mighty tempting... 3 -
@YinxFed good job with Epic 2! Wow!3
-
@YinxFed wooooooo!!! that is SO AWESOME
@eggfreak WaistAways Castle Island trek sounds like fun to me!
I was pretty smart about the Halloween party last night and very happy to report that the scale did not move from Fri to today. However, eating at the regatta was a little unhealthy and dinner was on the carb-y side. So I bet I'll see a somewhat unfriendly number tomorrow but that's okay. Planning a workout and lots of meal prep for Sunday, with plenty of steps.
@jugar hope the reunion is/was fun!!5 -
What a great day! It is amazing how much we have all grown up in 50 years Lots of fun conversations, terrible food (made it easy to have salad for dinner!) but great company. It was fun to see how all the things that divided us at age 17 disappeared over time. It was also sad to see some classmates in a wheelchair, dealing with other health problems, and remembering the 18 of us who are no longer alive. Glad I came!
Just a quick LAST CALL for tonight!
@JohnPetelle
@evangsimmons170
@TessieMac833 and @Terytha - I'll have to move you to support or drop if I don't get a weigh-in for this week
Hope you're still with us! 4 -
