Happy News!
@jessicakrall8 has agreed to step up to the role of Moderator! She has been a fantastic captain for Team Trimstones for a long time, and we are very glad to have her join us. Jessica will be taking on the Group Challenges, as well as the ongoing work to keep the teams running smoothly, our members getting the most out of Fat 2 Fit, and the Captains and Motivators getting all the support they need. She will still be at the helm of the Trimstones, and I am sure they will agree that she is worth sharing with the entire Group. Welcome!

@DD265 Congrats on your PB - that's great. In terms of step reporting, daily or weekly is just fine with me - your preference!
@jugar I can hear your excitement for getting back to your normal exercise program in all your posts. I haven't been sick yet since I started so while I'm sorry you're feeling crappy it's been a great example - I like to think I'll feel the same as you (excited to get back at it, taking it easy but trying to fit in what I feel up to). Glad you got to enjoy the woods today
@micki48 That's a great NSV - thanks for sharing. You have been doing so well! How are things with your granddaughter going lately?
Didn't get out for that hike but had a nice walk instead and then did my first Peloton Bike Bootcamp (combo of biking and strength). It was fun. We also got our dumbbell rack set up so the home gym is coming together nicely.
Exercise was 10829 steps, 17 minutes of biking and 13 minutes full body bodyweight
Weekend is over already???? Man oh man

@micki48 Great NSV! I think slipping into a smaller size is one of the best feelings ever. Congrats 👏
@eggfreak Love the flowers and the show sounds like it will be nice for those cold days.
@jugar glad you are perking up and getting outside.
@DD265 Congrats on your run today! Sounds like all of your work is paying off. You are so dedicated!
@ashleycarole86 So excited for you to hit the 100 lbs gone milestone 🙌
@Pearl4686 I think that is a complicated topic that has a lot of gray area. A visitor could come to my house and tell me sugar is bad and they wouldn't necessarily be wrong but it's not a black and white answer. All joints are going to wear out eventually. Listening to your body is obviously important. As long as you approach your workouts with common sense and give yourself recovery time there is no reason why you can't continue to enjoy running. If you're still worried don't just take your visitors word, do your own research and check in with a doctor. You can always work with a physical therapist to ensure you are doing everything you can to enjoy running as long as possible.3 -
Today was an inside day as we are having a lot of wind. Tomorrow we are supposed to have 60 mph winds! Definitely picking up takeout tomorrow incase we don't have power when I get home. If we are out for a few days I will set up the outdoor oven. Fingers crossed I don't have to.
Today I was in calories and I was able to do a 1 hour weight lifting workout.
Yesterday was also good for calories. I took portraits of my kids Saturday so I got my cardio in hiking around with the camera trying out a few spots. I think I got some good pictures but I haven't even started editing. I might send them off to be edited professionally.
Friday was my free day and I don't log. I know I was way over because I ended up at Starbucks twice. I did a ton of house cleaning so that's good.
@ashleycarole86 I agree! The weekend flew by 🥺3 -

Not too surprised, and I feel like death warmed up today. Have done a test for Covid-19 and it was negative, so I think I'm just run down.6 -

Not a very big loss this week but at least it is a loss. Hoping next week will be better.7 -

So I decided to go with the general consensus here- carry on what I'm doing so long as it feels comfortable and is enjoyable.
My brother has been skipping for a long time and inspired me to start. I jokingly 'beat' him one night and it became a bit of a friendly competition between us. Anyway to keep a long story short, 2 days ago I pushed myself to get to 1600 skips (from previous record of 1k) and I'm now in agony! My calves are so stiff it feels like I can not move. Stairs- I can only go up sideways and extremely slowly :sad:.
So I've learnt a lesson not to push so hard and to be a bit more sensible. No regrets, sometimes it's fun to be a child again. Just need a few days to recover.5 -
@Pearl4686 I have jumped rope in a long time but 1600 sounds like a lot, and surely when your previous record was 1000... I can see why you're sore. I get the competition thing too, happens to the best of us
Last call for steps for Nov 7-13 to make it on this week's report!

I've belonged for a few years but have yet to attend a meeting, but would really like to - just not big on walking in to a room of strangers. I hear it's great networking for those in our industry.
I didn't know it was a thing honestly. I kind of landed in Safety by accident and I've spent the last few years just doing my best to pick it up as I go. My education and work experience are more land use research/law based. =P
I honestly should probably look more into it but I'm also not great at walking into rooms full of strangers.0 -

That is Sunday's weight, now that I can finally log in! I used to weigh daily but I'm strictly once a week now, since I don't need those regular reminders that I'm backsliding.
There was a party on Saturday that resulted in this gain though. Some snooty thing for the doctors my husband works with that we ended up attending. I was tense as heck and kept nibbling. It was nice to get all prettied up and go out for a change though.5 -
Ahhhhh! I had written a post on my laptop and before I could post, my laptop died. It warned me. I didn’t listen. 😂
Today was not a great day. Haven’t logged, steps are low, and I stress ate 5 chocolate chip cookies throughout the day. Why do I make such good cookies? And I still have difficulty controlling myself.
@ashleycarole86 My granddaughter is doing great. Busy little imagination. Today she played in the leaves. She also took her annual tree shot.

Well today sure flew by! I am glad to feel my energy coming back. I was getting seriously tired of the wet noodle feel
Those of you who have known me for a while know how much I love winter - today that gave me a huge boost. I took my walk later than I had planned, and it had started raining. I threw on a good waterproof coat and went anyhow. As I was just about to start up a section of our trails with 3 pretty steep climbs in a row, the rain turned to snow. I was so happy I about flew up those hills. When I got to the highest point on our land I did quite a happy dance. I was channelling Gurdeep Pandher for sure! (look him up if you don't know him - he'll put a smile on your face)
So good to see you @tasoconnor and @sljjjembeca ! I am hoping that everyone who has been quiet for the past few days will make it back onto the site with all the changes. Let us know how you're doing - although with all those steps and good losses, I'd say it is pretty good
Who's up?

Hello,
Crazy day at work. The internet wouldn't work so I couldn't do any paperwork. The boss was shutting down the classrooms I was in while seeing kids. I finally packed up my laptop and went home to use my own internet to finish my students progress reports. We lost power from the wind storm but I was able to cook what I needed before the outage. Skipped takeout since I left in the middle of the day.
I ate lunch in the car on my drive home and then my brain decided lunch must have never happened and I was hungry all day. Snacked more than I wanted but didn't go over calories.
I'm not sure if we will have school tomorrow but I don't think they will start repairing the power lines until morning. We have our generator going and a nice warm fire.
I have a deck of funny/sarcastic inspirational cards at work. I copy them and leave them on my co workers desks. I will have to post some for you guys soon. They are so funny!6 -
@micki48
Absolutely adorable. Love the picture with the tree! Thanks for sharing. Nothing worse than cranking out a huge post and having it go into the void!!2
