Sorry I went AWOL for awhile. Life...
Always hoping to become a bit more of a contributor on this group but there's always one crisis or another.
I find everyone's posts super inspirational when I get the chance to read them although March so far has given me little time...6 -

Good week! I'm glad you are still there and even if you can't post often, you're one of us

Well, we arrived at our new house like thieves in the night right before midnight. We were on the road for 11 hours with traffic and stops. I hate driving at night through major cities!!!! (DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia) But I made it. Thanks for all your prayers and good vibes. It carried me.
While driving I got great news from my sister. The cancer was stage one and she will not need chemo or radiation. Hurray!!
I have been a bit teary today missing my house. I’ll be fine but this has been hard. Tomorrow we’re going on a hike at our favorite park(from when we lived here before) One of my best friends is coming over. That will sure help me feel better about this move.
Just had a glass of wine, listening to jazz catching up with you all feels so good. Movers arrive with the stuff on Monday.
Tomorrow I want to get on my mat and do some Pilates and be sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water.
@eggfreak So glad to hear about your mom doing better. You can do this. Sometimes all that is on our plate gives us a detour but I know you can get back on track.
@conleywood Congratulations to you on your loss and hugs to you with all that going on. You are amazing. I know when things calm down you will totally be in your groove.
@PlaneMonkey and @jugar Your visits with friends sounds wonderful. I am looking forward to those in my future.
I will be relieved to have our stuff delivered and make this house cozy with our things.
Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.
❤️Xoxo

The week has come and gone and I didn’t weigh in this week. I won’t be home for another week so, @jugar please keep the number from last week for this and give me next week off. Then, I’ll be ready to jump back in. Thanks!3

3/12 exercise:

3/13 exercise:
8158 steps + 45 minutes Peloton
Last call for anyone wanting to report steps for Mar 6-12!
remember that for Mar 13-19 we are walking for @micki48 - looking as a team to cover the distance of her move (477 miles). We did 339 week 1 with 8 participants and we are likely down a couple by week 3... what can we achieve???
Nothing like a bit of extra motivation to get out there and push it. In all likelihood it's going to take us week 3 and 4, but don't let that stop you from giving it a little extra!
Can I please join you all in walking for Micki?
What do I do? My fitbit is charged and ready to go 3 -
Happy Sunday!
I'm just getting going on the tallies -- we had rather a slow week, but that makes it easy for week 4 to be a vast improvement, right??

@ells_bellz Absolutely!!! Would love to have your stats. Every Sunday, report by day for the week before (Sunday to Saturday) what your step count was. You can also include any other intentional exercise you did by day and those minutes get converted to steps as well.
Some people like to post most frequently throughout the week and that works fine too..
Let me know if you have any other questions.0 -

I think I’m 95% better than last Sunday. I ate a lot of bready, cracker, mashed potato type of things this week. 😁3 -
Not our best week as a whole, but there were still some great losses this past week, and an overall gain sets us up to get an even better loss next week!
Take a look at last week's results in the links below:
Here's a sneak peek into how your team did...

Congratulations @BlissfulK @graceojo999 and @conleywoods for good losses in week 3! We had an overall gain as a team, so thanks for keeping us from going too far into the red
I'm trying to get my carcass up and moving today - it is kind of miserable outside and I'm just feeling slumpy. I am going for a walk with a friend at 5:00 (we're meeting somewhere paved!) so that should help. Meanwhile, I should put on some tunes and get moving. Kick my butt, ok?5 -

I knew it would be a gain today. Like I discussed with other MFP members, I had some vegan cheese I didn’t want to expire and made lasagna and pizza. Both use rice flour which is high in calories along with the cheese. I did not complete the calculations until after eating. One piece of lasagna is 455 calories. The pizza was also more than 400 calories a slice. So glad I’m in this challenge on MFP to see the effects of what we eat and our lifestyle in detail on how it effects our progress. I have some major work this week to see a loss for next weigh-in. Wish me luck💫4 -

Bought an air fryer. It makes delicious veggies. I'm gonna try control my hunger this week with more greens.5 -
@Terytha I haven't tried veggies in mine yet. Which ones do you recommend?2

I got more steps than I realized this week but motivation, movement, eating all dropped off by the end of week. Will be an ugly weigh-in on Tuesday (yet again!) for me.
I did give my 2 weeks notice this week which was stressful, but I will be OUT of here on April 1! It will feel good. I've started getting some recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn so hopefully I can stick to my plan and have a new job by June/July. But April is 100% breathe/relax/reunite with my healthier self. Jogging, yoga, finding what FEELS good! I do feel bad that my weigh-ins have been all over the place on here, though.6 -
I enjoy zucchini or summer squash wedges (or sweet potato). When I use the denser veggies, I soften them in the microwave first and then the air fryer. Most of the time, a spritz of oil is more than enough. Bread crumbs add a nice layer of crunch to almost everything, although I don't usually use them. We've had luck with asparagus sprinkled with lemon juice. Hmm. Now I'm getting hungry for a snack of crunchy veggies. Have a great night!PlaneMonkey wrote: »@Terytha I haven't tried veggies in mine yet. Which ones do you recommend?

So good to hear the fabulous news about your sister! What a relief. Some advice from a choral director works in moving-to-new-homes scenarios as well. "Cry when you need to, sing when you can".
I'm delighted that you're geographically closer to me in Vermont and hope to meet you in person this summer.
Love,

This is a great attitude! All the numbers are information - even if we figure out that they are "bad". You know better how to make this week work - plenty of vegetables, try to avoid the flours and other refined stuff, keep up your healthy fats and protein. Go for it!2 -
@Kali225 Your April sounds like just the breather you need. My best friend recently quit a second job and is pulling things together to start a new contract. Those gaps in between are important to set yourself up to feel strong and know what you need, even if it is a bit scary getting there. Good for you!
OK, time to get my steps and exercise pulled together...
Sunday - 9353 + 15 min Pilates, 40 elliptical
Monday - 15,873
Tuesday - 11,913 + 30 Pilates, 60 snowshoe
Wednesday - 12,835 + 45 bike
Thursday - 10,060 + 30 Pilates
Friday - 10,409 + 20 Pilates
Saturday - 10,001 + 20 Pilates, 45 bike
