@broncobuddee Sorry, I did not see your reminder until today. I thought about logging in several times yesterday, then distractions...5 -
At work, I joined a wellness challenge (CatchLife30), and one of my first "assignments" is to choose a motivational word for the challenge. I have been pondering a word or phrase of the year since it was part of a challenge on here a couple of weeks ago. It doesn't feel quite right yet, but this is what I have: OWN IT
The idea is that I am the one responsible for my health and wellness choices.4 -

Crazy day yesterday with stressful situation and I'm so sorry I forgot to log my weight. Praying for a turn around today. I'm trying to find a norm for daily routines again. I'm joining the gym again and plan to go back this week. Have a great day!!2

@tammyccrady6278 Congrats on the loss! Woot woot! I hope the loss makes you feel less down.
@TeresaW1020 Thanks, me too! I'm sorry you guys are having stressful nights but maybe things are turning a corner if your hubby can go for a short walk? Tracking is good for you like eating your veggies lol. You've got this!
@Katmary71 Thank you, me too! I'm sorry your back is still bothering you. That's too bad about the plant sale and farmer's market. Yay for your new stereo! I hope you have a nice visit with your parents.
@bgame4 Great loss, congrats! I like your new phrase for the year, it's short and to the point. Great phrase.
@askewcr Congrats on the loss, great way to start out the new year! I'm sorry about the stress. I hope it gets better today.
Hi all. Not much going on here. I'm looking forward to my walk with my friend. Have a great Sunday!

Only -20c here today. Now that the weather is warming up I am going the start aqua size classes tomorrow at 7 am. Going to snow today so more snow shoveling tomorrow. Sunday is my rest day so I plan meals so I can shop for food on Monday. Just me and my wife so we do not get fancy. Hope everyone has a great Sunday.4

Wahoooo Team Mission Slimpossibles for making second place on the leaderboard! Keep up the great work and maybe next week we can be NUMBER ONE!!
@Katmary71 I will for sure share a pic once the Amaryllis blooms! It’s been fascinating to watch.
And now with your new workout pants, you have some added motivation to lose that 5 lbs. I have never tried kombucha but have wanted to. How nice to have a new stereo!
@trooworld HaHa, I look at tracking as punishment and you look at it as something good. I will try to see it your way. I do love my veggies!
@askewcr Great weight loss this week! I hope some peace in your stressful situation. Going to the gym is great!
@bgame4 Own It is a great phrase for the New Year! I hope you find this wellness challenge just the thing you need to keep you mindful and motivated.
Hi Team! Today has been a pretty good day. Hubby and I got some much-needed sleep last night and his pain is somewhat better today. We watched church on live stream and hated having to miss being there in person. We have had so many wonderful people reaching out wanting to bring us food. But I have declined because cooking is easy for me, and I don’t want to derail my new eating plan. The scale was down a little this morning and I managed to get back into my workout room for a good lower body workout, which felt great!

Hello Everyone!
Today has been a much better day. E-Church this morning and then cooked steamed cabbage, roast with peppers in crock pot, potato salad, and muffins. I only ate cabbage and roast and it was good. Working on staying away from fast food.
Hubby and I played on the WII tonight. I beat him in table tennis and he beat me at bowling. We also played the water board game. It was so much fun and I burned a few extra calories.
Blessed day!!! Let's go get our victories!! 4 -

Hi All,
My eating has not been great this week, but I have managed to get in some exercise. I went to my exercise class Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday (Jan. 9th). I also got on the treadmill Sunday morning while catching up on the phone with a friend. That felt like great multi tasking! I did not go fast, but I had the incline on number 10 and I walked for 100 minutes — 1 hour and 40 minutes — and went 3.7 miles. YAY! (Lots of talking!!) We finally fixed up our basement last year and I have not used our designated exercise room in the basement as much as I would like so I was happy to have done so yesterday. (It feels like today since I am still up…)
Pre-Christmas I was going to my exercise class 4 to 5 times per week. I would like to get back to that, but I am going to have to figure out some alternate exercise plans since I will be out of town for almost a couple of weeks soon. The good news is I will bring my bicycle with me so I will try to find some places to ride while I am away with some warm weather. The temperatures are frigid around my home.
@kaymary71 — I like historical fiction and romance novels. I want books with a happy ending. I figure I can be sad on my own. I don’t need a book or movie or TV show to push my mood in the wrong direction. I do not tend to love the books that either of my book clubs choose, but I do enjoy the people.
My goals for this week are:
1. to eat better/track my food; 2. drink more water every single day; 3. exercise 4 to 5 days; 4. Take down my Christmas Tree!! 5. Visit my Dad (out of state).
My praise report is: I cleaned out and really organized my linen closet and took 4 bags of donations to Salvation Army. I also cleared clutter from the top of the landing to the stairs. The linen closet was a huge accomplishment for me. I labeled shelves so that various sized sheets go back to their designated spots going forward. Yippee!
Thanks for being out there everyone. You are helping me more than you might realize. I pray that the next time I go back to the doctor she will say that I do not have diabetes.
I am rooting for all of you!6 -

@broncobuddee I didn't report last week. This is what I weighed in at for 1/5.
I'm keeping on top of it this week. Work is still crazy, but trying to find better ways to cope for now.
Happy Monday!

@GabiV125 - that is a great idea about the journal and I'm going to do it. Getting things wrapped up for the kids to leave has occupied my mind. My son drove me a bit bonkers before he left and I think avalanche-ing some of those feelings down would get them out of my system and free my mind for my health planning. Thank you. Yes, you are a work in progress and pushing yourself to do stuff when you don't feel well is unwise. It's not laziness. It's a fine line to walk and you are on the right side of it.
@tammymccrady6278 - Hooray for a loss this week. Falling off the wagon is not what matters, getting back to work is and you did that! Good luck with managing your munchies.
@TeresaW1020 - Hope every day will go a bit better for you and Joe until things are close to being normal again. Good work on starting your program, working out and fending off casseroles while you are going through all this. I'm hoping the tracking will not be as bad as you think and you don't have to do it forever.
@FushiaKat - if you come up with anything regarding why you felt like going off plan, share it if you feel comfortable.
@Katmary71 - sounds like you had some ups and downs but overall a good day. Hope you have a nice visit with your parents.
@bgame4 - I think OWN IT is a great phrase. Wishing you the best on your journey.
@askewcr - Hope you get things organized so you feel more settled and less stress.
@trooworld - Glad you are feeling better. Sounds like you are finally having decent weather there?
@digger61 - Oooh, that's soooo cold! Good for you starting an exercise class and having a shopping/food routine.
@FutureTrophyWife - I like your goals for this week and kudos on the cleaning projects!
@leonadixon - hope the stress settles down soon.
Today I got back to doing step workouts. I did a very basic, easy one and it was still hard for me. I'm not sure if I did any workouts the week before Christmas, so it's been awhile. I plan to repeat the same workout two more times and see if I can do it with some bounce and pep (and not so much resting!) by the end of the week. I'll also start back on strength training, but keep it on the easier side for now.
Yesterday, we took our son back to school. The house is quiet again. This gets a little easier every time, but still feels "different" at first. Anyway- without getting into too much detail..... son is a procrastinator, he's also on the odd sleep cycle of so many young adults- up all night, sleep all day. He was doing laundry until 4:30 am- we got on the road at 9 am. A few other things happened.... it tends to leave me feeling like I drive him nuts and he'd rather not be around me. Sometimes the feeling is mutual LOL. Anyway, this had me pretty upset at supper time, and I ate a bunch of garbage trying to process it. I could feel myself physically calming down as I ate. I've decided that this type of emotional eating needs to be something I work on very hard this year.
BTW- when I'm being rational, I know that this is all normal and a "growing pain" type of situation as he gets ready to move onto living life on his own. (this should be his last semester before graduating) And I also know he loves me and cares for me. Telling myself CRAP and then eating CRAP instead of assessing the situation truthfully is not healthy.
Happy Monday!

Congrats on being on the letter board this week team!!!!
Well today is my day off and I should be cleaning the bathroom the house really. What am I doing? Binge watching How to get away with Murder lol. I just don’t have the energy to do anything today so I choose not to. It can all wait till tomorrow. I have been working so much this last month what with people off sick that I’m zonked both mentally and physically. And to top it all off Sean and I decided to cancel out Cuba trip. We had already changed the date due to this omicron variant and not it just seems to be getting worse and we don’t want to be in a position that the Canadian borders close while we r away. So next year maybe. Good news is I’m still on track with my food and did some exercise this morning too.
Have a good rest of your day guys.4
