Added 0.4 lbs. Hoping for a better week this week, Quinoa is finished, more veggies🥗
Adding only 0.4 after a week where you lost 5.8 is fantastic! It is so easy to bounce back when a change has been that big. Good job! More veggies indeed!
Allow me to introduce our dear friend, Kay. Kay is an avid exerciser who takes great joy in running that extra mile! She inspires our step team like crazy!!sheesh. good week for me. feeling pretty motivated today as well - I once again told myself to do just 1 mile today, and ended up going over 2 and pushing myself to a sprint finisher. Who is this??
https://www.themediterraneandish.com/vegan-roasted-tomato-basil-soup/I'm also very excited to have my favorite soup for lunch - tomato basil bisque. I use Campbell's, which isn't sodium/calorie-friendly, but it is delicious. Maybe I can concoct my own slow cooker version this year.
This one is a huge fave at our house. Roasting the tomatoes seems like it will be a royal pain, but it is really easy and makes a huge difference in the final result. I use all fresh tomatoes when they are flowing in from the garden, but the combo of roasted fresh Roma tomatoes and the canned tomatoes works brilliantly too.
You are now wearing the Tiara!! Great job - and the snacking strategy U-turn worked for sure!146.5
I haven’t seen this weight since Fall 2020.
Let's get a great week going!

We've completed another week, folks! And with some awesome numbers up on the spreadsheet, we've set ourselves up to have a successful month. Can we do it again next week? Can we do even better?
Take a look at last week's results in the links below:
Here's a sneak peek into how your team did...

It was our friends' daughter's first birthday yesterday. She basically made my year by crawling into my lap and hugging me, which was omg. Turns out being chosen for baby cuddles is just as incredible as being chosen for puppy or kitten cuddles.
I don't really want kids but I'm happy to cuddle anyone else's lol.
Anyways, we ate cake and pasta and cheese and all those delicious and terrible things so my weight kinda isn't good today. Alas.
It was so good to see our friends though. We haven't seen much of them or baby V at all since she was born.4 -
@terytha baby cuddles are amazing! So glad you got some - and she got Amber cuddles for her birthday
0.2 pounds was totally worth it.
We have 3 young raccoons outside snarfing up all the sunflower seeds the birds have heaved on the ground from the feeder. They are probably last summer's kids, now kicked out while mom has a new litter soon. They are too funny. Two of them are always within touch of each other. Adorable little monsters. Photo in the spoiler.

@DD265 Hope you're having a great time in Dubai. Can't wait to hear all about it. Thanks for getting your step report in from the road!
@deniners2 Great consistent progress this year.. keep up the great work and congrats on hitting that milestone!
@Kali225 Back with a vengeance!! Grab onto that motivation and ride the wave. Continue to demonstrate your impressive habits - they're clearly effective!4 -
Hi everyone! Trying to catch up a bit on posts. My brain is still on overload and my stress ball tummy has been high today. I wish it would stop. Not sure how to make it happen. Keeping busy is helpful but I think I’m going to do some Pilates stretches.
I wanted to share that I had some bloodwork done before I leave my dr. She said my lipid panel was the best she’s seen for me and was very happy with my numbers. My HDL is high so it skews my numbers upward, but I’m closer to 200 than I’ve been in a number of years. Yay! My vitamin D is closer to normal too. So keep taking that Vitamin some more. Happy to hear that. One little bit of protein in my urine to keep an eye on, but it could be dehydration. So I hope that was it.
Off to go stretch. One week from tomorrow the movers will be here to pack the few things they are packing. Then loading the next day. I can do this.

Good day around here today! Enjoyed our friend's child's 3rd birthday party... they did a pancake bar with toppings but I had eaten before I got there so I enjoyed one with fruit and was satisfied.
Brad and I took our dog and my Mom's dog for a long walk as the sun was too good to pass up today! Also got on the Peloton.
My mom had ordered fried chicken for lunch and again I just didn't eat for the sake of it.. I had two chicken tenders that I looked up the info on and tracked and moved on.
So, basically I had a lot of random food scenarios come up and I handled them with ease.
Fish dinner tonight.. looking forward to it!6 -

Did a whopping 9,000 steps at work which I felt like I hadn’t reached in awhile but also I don’t have my phone on me all the time (my method counting my steps). Today I had it with me the entire day and I was like yuppp. For me that’s a big deal because I feel that I’m pretty sedentary esp on my days off.6

Monday has flown by here - lots of errands, practicing, and not very many steps or exercise. It is icy and rainy, so walking in the woods or snowshoeing is not very wonderful. It will get cold again but I am headed tomorrow for Montreal, and then down to North Carolina! It will be a lot warmer there, and hopefully I will be able to get more steps in.
@wendydpromos - so glad you're back on the horse! Logging sure makes a difference.
@collegelyfe17 there's a beautiful step count! keep that phone on you so you always have steps to brag about
@ashleycarole86 I hope your work crisis is done and dusted. Gotta sweep those right out the door!

SORRY!! Images are not working on my end - not sure why?? I noticed it earlier today and thought it was someone else's problem but it seems to be affecting me whether I try to post or others do.
Hope you can read that.. it's not pretty but I don't have a lot of time to mess around.
Great work everyone!!5
