Wednesday, January 12

Exercise: no
Steps: 12.370 / 12.000

Ramblings of the day
Good morning Shape Shifters. My mom went home again on Wednesday. It was really foggy and grey in the morning, so we worked on painting stones and just chatted until her partner came to pick her up again. I was really tired and didn't get a lot of steps in during the day. By the evening, I was only at 6k so I had to step in my livingroom for around 50 minutes to hit my goal. Today will also be a rest day and tomorrow I hope to go out for a walk again.
Happy Thursday everyone

Hey Guys, I hope you are all doing well and off to a flying start for the new year. A very busy time for me running the year end with a few all-nighters. Caved in and ate a whole family pack of crisps at 3 am one night. At least that was the only lapse.

Started the year at 118 and down to 115 so a far start. This has got to be a better year for sure.

Keep smiling!

@TheMrWobbly Is this your weigh in for this week, Bob? Can you convert to lbs please? Hope your family is all feeling better!!

Hey Bob @TheMrWobbly ...I didn't have you listed as signing up for the step challenge...what's your daily goal please?

Fitness action of the day: went for a long walk with another mom and our babies. Her baby is the one I’m donating my leftover breastmilk supply to, so they emptied my freezer on the same visit. Apparently in some religions babies who get milk from the same woman are considered kind of siblings and can’t marry as adults, so we call the babies milk brother and milk sister. The walk was nice, but we weathered pretty much everything: it was sunny when we left, some roads were slicked into so icy you could ice skate on them, there was a short period of hail coming down, and it was really windy.

Home improvement action of the day: not much concrete to show today, except tons of regular chores. Instead, talked about dividing household chores with husband and agreed on clear chores he will take over, so our house is less of a mess and things are more balanced. It’s natural that I take care of more chores as I’m on maternity leave and he’s working, but lately the balance has been way off with me doing practically everything and him only helping out if I specifically ask him to do something. I also agreed with a pregnant friend that she’ll come over on Monday to go through my boxes of maternity clothes. I don’t know how much she’s borrowing from me, but after that I can at least box up the rest and take them to the basement, so next week’s project will be cleaning the walk-in closet that currently houses the boxes and piles in the middle of the floor.

Plan for tomorrow: Deal with the jackets and coats on the floor and take a nap. Some friends are coming over for brunch on Sunday, so might have to clean a little for that. Go on a walk and walk to a voting station. There’s an election going on so we have to go vote, even though I think the whole election is utterly stupid and should not be happening. This is the first election of its kind, so we’ll see how it goes as voter turnout is expected to be very low.

Worked out 4 days in a row now. I was super tired this morning and got up late, but I usually give myself 30 minutes between my workout/shower and getting my kids and husband up to just have some quiet time to myself, but today I decided to put that 30 minutes towards my workout instead.

@angmarie28 Missing your steps for Jan 12th please. Thanks!
Jess

Hey ya'll...sorry that I've been fairly quiet this week, but it has been VERY hectic with work. Several intense projects this week, but had my annual performance review and one of the best that I've had in a long time. Got some great feedback and had a successful dialogue with my manager. Very happy with that. Also glad it's the weekend and a 3-day weekend. Looking forward to relaxing, walking and reading this weekend. Much of the US is going to experience a winter storm sometime today through Monday, with lots of ice and snow, courtesy of @izzyred9400 (Winter Storm Izzy). Hope everyone stays safe...won't be too bad where I am because I'm closer to coast. For us, it will be mainly rain, but an hour west of here is getting pummeled as is North and South Carolina (south of here). Please be safe if you're affected. If you're out and about, mask up and be safe from COVID.

Will pop in and out all weekend, so say hi when you can...great losses for many this week! Awesome job!
Jessica

CW 235,6lbs

Ugh, not a great week. I expect better. A loss is a loss, but having this much to lose means I should lose more than a pound a week if I want to be anywhere near my end goal at my goal time in September. First goal is 14lbs away: my final pre pregnancy weigh-in was 221.6lbs, so I really want to hit that soon and get to work on the rest.
