Good evening everybody! @Megan_smartiepants1970 i changed my weigh-in day to Sundays, so I thought that would hold for steps, as well. If not, please let me know.

This week was kind of difficult, mentally and physically but my weight was actually ok. So positives and negatives, I guess.

PW: 160.8
CW: 160.6
LTD: 19 lbs

I’m hoping I can continue down this path of slow and steady. I’ve been stuck between the same 5 pounds for a very long time! My doctor wants to me at 150, I’d like 145…but at the moment, I would just like to GET IN, and STAY IN the 150s. I can’t seem to make that transition. At least this week wasn’t a gain, though!

Anyway…steps for this week:
2/12: 1,633
2/13: 1,000
2/14: 4,726
2/15: 10,181
2/16: 15,749
2/17: 2,216
2/18: 3,290
2/19: 1,270
2/20: 1,000

Have a great week everybody. I will try checking in throughout!

I was not aware of you changing your weigh in day ... I post my reminder of the people's steps I don't have on Sundays ...Thanks for posting your steps

Welcome back ... Glad you are feeling better ... you do not need to rejoin the group ... Linda will remove you from the support team and put you back on the regular team and you are all set

Thank you @Megan_smartiepants1970

We have another new member joining us .... Please welcome @tuxado

Another busy week... We are getting ready to go on a short vacation in couple of day. I'll not post my daily stats in a long list. Just a category sort of thing, lol.

Monday 2/14, thru Sunday 2/20:
Started exercise early: Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat, Sun
Stairs (flights): Mon 17, Tues 15, Wed 16, Thurs 10, Fri 15, Sat 15, Sun 15
Intensity Minutes:
Moderate For Week: 272
Vigorous For Week: 1036
Total: 1308/150!! Needed a lot of movement to alleviate some of the stress. I didn't want to do a face plant into the garlic potatoes!! I am using the Garmin default calculation for intensity minutes. Whereby Garmin compares my heart rate during an activity to my average resting heart rate. My resting heart rate over a 4w average is 52. At some point, I might consider something like customizing my heart rate zones corresponding to my intensity minutes... I'm not sure I'm even saying that correctly, lol. I'll just use the Garmin default for now!!

Nice loss! I hope this week has more positives than negatives.

Welcome back! Perfect time to restart as the March challenge starts on Sunday. I will use your weight on Saturday as your start weight for March.

Good evening everyone. How was your weekend?
Check in for 2/20:
Steps - 7414 plus 20 minutes bike moderate.
Calories - 1823. Large meals so no dessert.
Exercise - gym, 9 machines and 20 minutes bike. Followed up after a shower with 1 1/2 mile stroll to get a paper. Added a couple of blocks to it for the exercise.

Tomorrow will be interesting. Daughter's b-day and she keeps changing her mind on dinner. Going out, chicken sandwich, steak, subs were said just today. It will make my planning a bit harder. She also got a free breakfast that she may want to do.

Awesome exercise day! Happy birthday to your daughter!

I think having to have a clean plate as a child would definitely contribute to not knowing if we are full or not. It makes total sense. Clean plate = full stomach.

I too like the idea of intuitive eating. Sometimes it works if I'm super hungry. I will eat a lot less than if I am simply grazing. The problem comes if I'm so hungry I will reach for something that is close and easy and not necessarily a good choice. I try not to get into that situation too often. Sometimes, though, it is just inevitable.

I have a point with hunger if I hit it, I will overeat. Problem is the switch to that point is so quick. I suspect it is because my blood sugars drop. Then I am back to eating even when I am not very hungry to prevent the low blood sugar. Eventually, I will be able to get to the point I eat intuitively.

Your resting heart rate is amazing. All your exercise and weight loss is paying off.

PW: 224.7
CW: 224

Sort of a quiet week - not much going on but I did have a really good work out a few days ago and boy am I sore! Strange weather here lately - one day it's below 20 degrees (F), and the next it's in the 50's. I'm looking forward to Spring!

Awesome loss! The sore from a workout is a good sore right?

✅Close Rings
✅Steps 10,826
✅Log Food
Swim 800 laps: 588/800

Today is a holiday in Ontario. My granddaughter is still here as she wanted to stay again last night so I don’t want to be too long at the pool. With going away on Thursday and Friday I am left with needing to get an average 53 laps done for the remaining 4 days to reach my 800 lap goal. So my plan today is to swim 54 laps minimum, some cardio(I love this part) and some abs.

I apologize for not starting a challenge on Sunday. I ran out of time to get it ready. I am aiming for the second week of the March challenge. I have a couple of appointments this week, my granddaughter was here all weekend and I am going away so I don’t have a lot of time to get it ready for this coming Sunday. I am so sorry!
