Anyone want to guess the calories? I ended up going with about 1000. It is New York Maple Glazed Salmon: Spice Rubbed Atlantic Salmon, Potato, Corn and Arugula Hash, Lemon. Could be 1500 for all I know, but it seemed reasonable????3 -
Wow, congrats @bradkcrew for losing 68 lbs! I didn't realize you had lost so much. Also good job getting in the 4 mile run, and not taking a scale with you to the restaurant! 👍4

@juffelman49 - Wise decision to prevent further injury and longer healing. Hope it gets better soon.2

Tracked - No 😂
Calories - No 😂
Exercised - No 😂
I can laugh about it because I'm not going to let an afternoon of over-snacking get me down! It happens! 🤪7 -
Laughing is key. Nothing makes my heart happier than my kiddos belly laugh. It’s amazing.
Yesterday was a pass day - so at 4 pass days on the month - impromptu dinner with hubby instead of a Home Depot run. I got cheese tamales. So good. So much cheese it was kind of horrifying. Lol. We ended up actually watching a movie after getting the downstairs entertainment system set up which we haven’t done in like 2 years. We watched a knives Out which we both highly enjoyed. If your humor runs dark like ours, I def recommend it.
Today I did class at the gym, then hiked about 5.5 miles up and down rocky cliffs and stream beds at a local preserve (watch only logged a small portion of the hike) where I met friends from high school (one was my maid of honor) who I haven’t seen in like a decade. It was a good afternoon. I ate a ton for dinner and didn’t make great choices but given I ate way too little pre the like 4 hours of exercise I had today… I ended up fine in the end. Lol. Pics below of the hike also of the new ring for the right hand which arrived yesterday. Green tourmaline. I believe this is the ring I’ve been looking for this whole time. I got it yesterday and instead of thinking which ring is next I felt more like ahhhhh… this is the one.

@bradkcrew - congrats on maintenance! 🤗 I believe this calls for some random celebration planking with your family on Thanksgiving. ❤️ Lol.8

✅✅✅ It rained here most of the day and was gloomy and overcast. My exercise today was 20 mins on the treadmill in the basement. I just couldn't muster up any more than that.
Pass Days Used: 2/3
@lesdarts180 I'm so sorry to hear that you were so close to your holiday, only to let it go.... but I completely understand too. I wouldn't have wanted to go alone. But what a bummer.
@mshawski I love your pictures! and of course, your new ring! I haven't had a chance to go look for my next one yet.
Laughter: My hubby makes me laugh. I think it's a favorite hobby of his - to try to see if he can make me laugh.... It's definitely good for what ails you! Lol.
My stomach is better today, but not 100%. I think it's something that I ate for breakfast yesterday. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to normal.

Great reminder @LazyBlondeChef, I do have a sense of humour but it usually appears when all is right in my world and I'm anxiety free (which you know, is that a thing?) I actively looked for a comedy on Netflix tonight to wind down to, so hopefully I'll get a few laughs in. (Btw, The IT Crowd, Swedish Dicks and the first season of Modern Family are some of my favourite comedies on Netflix currently if anyone is looking for recommendations. Life in Pieces is cute too.)
Speaking of anxiety, sorry to hear about your cancelled trip @lesdarts180 . I can relate to your boyfriend's flying anxiety, I am the same. I hyperventilated before boarding the plane for our honeymoon and haven't flown in 31 years. I had to fly in 2019 as I accepted my current job on the condition that flying to some of our manufacturing plants could be required. I am on anti-anxiety meds now and flying a couple of hours in 2019 was tolerable - although I am not ready to fly over an ocean. Unfortunately anxiety is very debilitating and he may not be able to get over it.
Thank you for the Stretching vid @victorious55 . You've made it easy for me; that is one of the things I wanted to look into now that our pool is closed for the season. I just made a mental note to do so as I've noticed I'm starting to get really stiff again; it's been 3 weeks since I last swam.
Congratulations @bradkcrew!! What an impressive loss!
Sadly I didn't meet any of the 3 requirements today. It was a conscious choice. I'm going easy on myself today as we have had a huge announcement sent out at 4:55 pm on Friday and a meeting called tomorrow at 10:00 tomorrow to discuss what these changes will mean for our team. I'm working through my anxiety in order to be calm and present myself as pro company and excited for the change at the meeting tomorrow lol. And yes I'm at laughing at myself right now. And yes I laugh at myself quite often; it's either that or I'd be crying and it's really not a good look...

Oh my so sorry to hear of your endometriosis…
Never had it, or any pain, and suddenly one month I went from fine to crawling upstairs, curled up in bed.
Turns out I had an ovarian cyst which they removed endoscopically & they *also* found tons of endometriosis- the surgeon AND his 4th year resident spent a couple of hours micro snipping it out.
Forever Grateful
Perhaps doctors can help you? Fingers crossed.3 -
Did I exercise today? Yes, on our feet for about 4 hours... most of that was a hike trudging through deep snow - we had a blast!!

Sunday November 21
Barely went outside at all today; feeling unwell.
Humour is a healer and laughing is a necessary release. I really like to read humour. I have recently read, laughed through, and enjoyed Is This Anything (Jerry Seinfeld); The Ugly Cry (Danielle Henderson); Calypso (David Sedaris); and am currently reading Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside (Nick Offerman).
Calories just under ✅
Tracked ✅
Exercise ✅ 30 minutes on the treadmill while watching TV.
No pass days used so far.

I was very mischievous in my youth; all harmless fun for a good laugh.
Since I’ve been focusing more on self care the past few months I’m noticing glimpses of my playful nature coming back to life.
Laughter is definitely one of the pillars of good health. In my book anyway.
In addition to laughing more, even though I’ve only lost a couple pounds in the last couple of months my scale now says I’m at level 5… I was level 2 not to long ago!
A different kind of scale victory.
Now to lose 4 lbs to get to a healthy BMI. Nearly there 🤞

Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes walk (I actually convinced my 9 year old to take a walk with me! She complained that it was boring, but not too badly)
Tracking: Planned the day, adjusted the plan as necessary to accommodate a pancake snaccident when the kids wanted pancakes for breakfast and then I "had to" finish them up
Calories: Still under!
Since the COVID shutdown, I barely laugh. I would like to change that, but there is little I find funny. I think I have to feel safe to have a real sense of humor, and just have enough time to myself. The podcast "pizza at mcdonalds" is one thing that does really get me laughing sometimes, but only some episodes.4 -
