Nice week of steps!
@Gwiz401
Take it minute by minute. If you feel your emotions getting the better of you, com on here and post. You got the next 11 days!
@Beautyofdreams
Very nice weight session! I can’t wait for spring!
@Pippin20206
Thanks for telling us about Sammy. We can all take a lesson from him. He is so cute.
@rwood566
That’s so good that you walked instead of driving. See your healthy decision paid off. Your bread looks good. Thanks for the recipe.
@peng123
Awesome day! How are the knees feeling today?
@jimboden3
Nice loss! Sorry about your sprain. That’s the spirit by increasing those steps!

Sleet and ice here in the south, not the snow I wanted. Nevertheless I stayed inside and took a rest day. I did snack too much, inactivity is not a good thing I found, but I whooshed all the water my sore muscles were holding on to down over 2.5 pounds since Saturday. Now if I can only hold on to that weight!
Gotta love having a whoosh.2 -

@lindamtuck2018 My knees are hanging in there - I try to get some exercise whenever they pop back into the right position - I see the doctor in two days - looking forward to finding a solution so I can get back to my regular exercise schedule - thanks for asking!4

The scales took a big jump the last 3 days. I am up 7 pounds since Friday. Lots of factors at play but the jiggs dinner last night was the biggest contributor. Very high sodium. I am hoping it comes down by Friday.
I am going to fight to close my exercise ring today. I have done 8 minutes of mini walking but I got credit for 4. I don’t care how many mini walks it takes but I will get the 20 minutes done. I have a massage later today so I am hoping it loosens things up so I can move faster.
Have a great Monday!4 -
Good morning everyone. I’m late in posting, but I’ve been logging in everyday, and logging my food. The scale has been all over the place - I think between holidays, water and salt weight - the scale has not been my friend. I met my step goal almost everyday last week, which is exciting. I have to remind myself (frequently!) that even though I’m not where I want to be, I am much further along than where I started.
My biggest issues though are definitely sweets and wine. Not to mention, when I have a glass of wine, I really want chocolate lol - not good for my diet, but they sure do go well together!
I did really well walking last week. During my planning period at work I like to do laps around my floor - it’s also a good way to release stress - which as a teacher there’s definitely plenty of, right now!

Hi all, here for Monday weigh in. I usually post early in the morning, but was rushing so didn't have time.
Nice to start getting back some of the losses I did before. I'm thinking about incorporating some weightlifting back in here and there. No idea if it works but it'll mentally feel better.3 -
Used my new instant pot for the 1st time just now ... I made hard boiled eggs in it which took 5 minutes to cook and they came out perfect ... I was terrified of the pressure cooker since I have never used one2

I'm pasting a message I posted a little bit ago to my wall. I'm a little preoccupied, and I wanted to let you all know why. 🧡🧡 Lee
"Also, to those of you who responded to a question I asked a couple of days ago, I will have time to respond later today. Trying to catch up on a ton of stuff. Hubs will need an ankle replacement in mid-March😬😳. I'm busy as a "cat covering it up," as the saying goes. He is in excellent health. It stems from an old injury. He is very, very active and it has started to interfere with some of his favorite activities, etc.
I'm grateful for all of you!! Be well. 😊🧡 Lee"

@Bluetail6 I'm so sorry about your husband's ankle - I hope all goes well and he recovers quickly - I know it's frustrating to be sidelined when you want to be active.
@rwood566 Your exercise discipline is amazing!
@beautyofdreams Excellent exercise effort!
@Megan_smartiepants1970 A friend gave me an Instant Pot several years ago - I've never used it - I'm afraid of it. Also - Congratulations on your loss this week!

I think I will like this gadget .... It wasn't too bad of an experience... the pressure cooker part scared me and the steam coming out of the top freaked me out for a few minutes but at least my eggs came out good ...now I can make my cobb salad and put them in the little meal prep containers I bought ... thanks for the congratulations 2 -

Sorry guys! My back pain is bad again today. I had a bad nights sleep so I am off to lay down for awhile. The spine centre called yesterday and I get to see the specialist Thursday.
