    I’m thrilled with this loss! Finally headed back in the right direction! @justanotherloser007 so sorry to hear about your health issues. I’ve never heard of that before either. Hope they figure it out soon!

    @Yukie_OP Tell me more please about the mini stepper you got for work. Is it a Scoop Fit or what is the brand? Do you use it sitting or standing? Sounds like it worked well for you this week! You're doing great on your steps as well!

    @Beka3695 From what you described and just coming off being sick, I think you have a marvelous week...that little dribble will come right back off I'm sure!

    @Marni3369 Nice loss this week! WTG!

    @jazzadesigns Great loss this week...I know you're psyched!

    Daily report: did the walk to the voting station and picked up groceries on the same trip. I impulse bought some dried mango, and I think I found my new sugar craving snack. Significantly lower in calories than chocolate and ice cream, doesn’t melt or make a mess, and hard to eat mindlessly or too fast because it takes some time to actually chew it. For home improvement, I put away the coats as planned, and I have to admit I wouldn’t have done it without the accountability of this group and having to report that I procrastinated again.

    Plan for tomorrow: sleep in, do a quick clean up of our kitchen and living room and have brunch with some friends. Then later another friend and his family is coming over, they haven’t even met the baby yet! Going to be a fun day that will hopefully recharge my batteries for another week.

    My body hates losing weight so it is a slow process. I'm happy with .5lbs this week 😊

    Today has been difficult...gotta make this fast because my power might flicker again. No snow here, only heavy rain and winds are picking up...the worst of it should be gone by 10pm, so roughly six more hours. I got up early so I could get a shower and get some walking done...winds started picking up around noon. Got into searching for workout vids on YouTube and ended up hitting my step goal before 1pm today! Good, because the stress is hitting me. I've been craving pizza something awful today, but chose something more wise and less greasy. Still ate out, but with power going nuts, couldn't really cook.

    In any case, we do the best we can with the hand we are dealt...my chicken and broccoli was better than pepperoni pizza. Ended up doing my challenge today 5/10/15/20...my 10 became 20 and my 20 was 25 and done early! No complaints there...created myself a whole workout playlist on YouTube that will be ready now for other days. I really love this one creator on there...his videos are fun, great music and the steps are easy to follow. Some of the vids are SO into choreography that it's hard to follow if you're not an expert dancer with years of training! Don't get me wrong...there are some on there with very little rhythm...I have rhythm...just have issues with difficult choreography. In any case, if you're curious...go to the Group Challenge page and you'll see ones that I post this week...one is up from today...I'll do more throughout the week. Support your old Captain and pop in...you might just find yourself having fun!! :smiley:

    So, I'm headed in to read a book for a bit. Hope you're all having a great day. If any of the rest of you are dealing with Winter Storm Izzy and are getting tons of snow...please stay home and be safe...it's only rain and wind where I am. Talk to you guys tomorrow!

    Daily check-in: had friends over for brunch and it was great. Later another friend and his family came over to say hi and meet the baby for the first time. My fitness action of the day was walking halfway to the subway station with my brunch friends when they left. Home improvement action of the day: so many rounds of dishes that our kitchen is cleaner now than this morning, and we hosted a 6-person brunch. Also, we had borrowed some baby clothes from the friend who stopped by later, and no longer had any clue which of all the baby clothes were from them and which were from my cousin who also borrowed us a lot. So, we took out everything that our daughter has outgrown already, and they took theirs back to borrow to his brother who is having a baby next. It’s a win-win: the stuff is now sorted and it doesn’t take space in our storage, and his brother gets the clothes so he doesn’t have to buy new stuff.

    Plan for tomorrow: it’s time for mom-baby pilates class again! For home improvement, a friend is coming over to rummage through my old maternity clothes and then I can put the boxes away. We were the same size pre-pregnancy and she’s expecting a spring baby, so she’s borrowing my stuff instead of having to buy new. It’s great to have so many friends having babies around the same time, so we can pass the same maternity clothes and baby gear around without everyone having to buy their own.

    So I will try one of those dances by Ed thank you Jessica. Been a tough week. Haven't worked since Dec 15th. My choice until today because of the kiddos. I got laid off will be called back on the 27th. There just going to bare bones right now. People are not travelling and can't go out anywhere to eat. I am one of the first to get called back which is nice. We just got a really good crew in there hope people still go back. Don't want to be stiff when I go back lol

    During Christmas I fixed our washing machine and our dishwasher leaked too. I was wanting to learn that. Lots of tutorials. We stumbled across the washing machine one when it was all done. It was a Kenmore and now we have somebody local that can work on them. The tutorial was under Maytag and expert experience or something my hubby stumbled across it after the fact. We put it all together and stacked it before a trial run oopsy big no. We didn't install on of the hoses proper I was the only one able to get both hands under the drum to fix it. We found the small sock in the filter that was causing it to stink. Wow the drain flow is crazy now. I'm happy but not excited to maintain again in a year.
