It's been a mostly cloudy and rainy day here today. My daughter says hello to everyone. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I did a mile in the miracle miles DVD series by Leslie Sansone today and I feel great! I'm going to be doing some dancing in a while. Take care and stay safe, everyone!2

Good late night everyone. Let's hope groundhog day won't repeat itself.
Check in for 2/2:
Steps- 8728 plus 20 minutes bike moderate level.
Calories - 1730?? Leftover Chinese for lunch. Might toss the rest.
Exercise - gym tonight. 8 machines and bike. Walk this afternoon. Walked to the library, 1 mile each way, to get discount cards for the museums. Found a new middle eastern spice shop on the way home. That will get interesting in the kitchen.5 -
good morning all, one of my things I want to do this month and hopefully for more is to keep in contact on here a lot more …I feel 100% back on calorie counting and back at the gym full on also, but I need to keep this momentum. Right now feeling very positive and hopefully by summer I will be in a happier place with my weight. I definitely want 2022 to be the year I hit goal or very near almost hit my happiness weight goal.4

Happy Thursday from snowy Toronto!
Steps for yesterday were not great - 4117. I was tied to my desk all day and crashed on the couch as soon as I got home.
Horrible sleep as well between my son and the dog. My son was up worrying about the start of new classes today. He has anxiety and ADHD. It was the first day of the new semester (grade 9) and none of his core group of friends were in any of his classes. Also, new teachers for him too. The dog got me up early as well to go out. After I let her out in the back yard, I didn't have the energy to go back up to bed so I crashed on the couch for a few more hours. She too didn't have the energy to go back up and join my wife in bed and she nestled in beside me.
One positive thing, back in the groove of my my Intermittent fasting.5 -

45 min. Resistance training, moderate
40 min. stationary bike, 4.2 miles, moderate5 -
Was looking in a an old notebook today and found my weight and measurements from April 2011. I weighed 146.5(today 138.4), bust 36.5”(same today) waist 32(34 today because I don’t do ab exercises and post menopausal), hips 36 7/8(same today) thighs were about an inch bigger at 21” and calves are the same at 14 1/4 inches. Obviously carried more muscle at that weight than do now. Had been resistance training for 3 years at that point. Takeaway: muscle takes up less space than fat and I should be doing ab exercises. Will keep on resistance training and not expect the scale to go down necessarily.
It is finally feeling like am coming close to the end of weight loss. Was 47 then and today am 58.5 -
It's been a mostly cloudy day here today. It's calling for snow ❄️ outside later on. My daughter says hello to everyone. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I've done 2 miles from the mega miles DVD today and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing in a while. Earlier the power went out for about an hour. There's a chance of it going off tomorrow afternoon when some maintenance work is done on the apartment building generator. Take care and stay safe, everyone.4

Steps 9941
I gave a board member a tour of our facility today so that really helped the steps. We hadn't seen each other face to face for a few months as all meetings have been online and one of the first things she said to me was "wow you've lost heaps of weight!" Made me feel really good.7 -

That is something I want to get back into. I did really well with intermittent fasting awhile back.

I have been pushing the cart lately at the grocery store and it makes me so mad how many steps I lose.Pippin20206 wrote: »Steps 9941

I am very pleased with this even though it’s a gain. I changed my batteries in my scales on Saturday and my weight was 6 pounds heavier than weigh day (211.4) It has dropped over the last week so it’s a win!4 -
✅Close Rings
✅Steps 14,657
✅Log Food
Swim 800 laps: 126/800
I discovered I can’t count yesterday. I counted my laps wrong and I did 10 less than I thought. I did a longer pool cardio workout yesterday and I had pretty good actual steps for me. I have been forgetting to put my Apple Watch back on after the sauna so I am losing steps walking back from the pool house and moving around the apartment until I realize I don’t have it on. Today’s plan: laps, arms and abs.
Happy Friday!7 -
