It is another beautiful, sunny day today. Hard to imagine that it will snow Wednesday. But the robins are here and the old wives tale says the robins will dip their feet in the snow 3 times before spring. So this should be the final snow.
Will be cheering in my alma mater tonight while watching the basketball tournaments.3 -

Today was a good day. Got back on the treadmill. Restocked on my current breakfast fav: frozen cherries. Found a good looking papaya at the grocery. Planning to go to spin class tomorrow. Lots to look forward to for next weekend: dinner with a friend in Albuquerque on Friday. Going to the spa on Saturday for an overnight. Planning a hike.
Oh and I love that gardening weather is just staring here!
Hope everyone had a good weekend.4 -

3 years ago today I started my downward journey with a lot of help. I have gone from 566 to 229. Tomorrow I start my next year with a skin removal consult. I am looking forward to the new adventure and challenges.5

@red1185
I hope you have a better week. Stress and sleep trouble can make weight loss more difficult. You are getting your steps most days so what is a second goal you can add to help you with your journey?

We have all said it before but you are an inspiration. I hope the skin removal consult goes well.2 -

The hot tub kept calling my name yesterday trying to get me to stop working out and jump in. I ended up with 54 laps but my pool workout was only 13 minutes. Today I am doing laps and abs. Depending on how I am feeling I may do a leg workout. Later today I have to go get my passport photo done. My Atlantic City trip is 9 weeks away and i want to get my passport sooner than later.5 -

I have to wait to get to a desktop or a laptop to log stats. For some reason when I click on the link (via cell phone), the text is so tiny that I need a HUGE magnifying glass to read it.
Weekend was really uneventful. Like, so uneventful I was about to go stir crazy.
Today starts modified boot camp so we'll see how THAT goes.
There was something I was going to ask the group about, but I can't remember what it was! I'll circle back here if my brain starts functioning properly again, lol.
Have a great day ya'll!

Did a 20 minute strength workout only to finish 1/2 way. I'm cool with that. Finished on the elliptical and I swear it felt like 30 minutes of complete anguish and my thighs were on fire torture and I looked down and it was only 2 1/2 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You elliptical warriors, I have the most UPMOST respect for you!! I got off of that TORTURE machine and got on the treadmill and raised up the level to 2. Ya'll can have THAT beast.
Stay tuned... lol

Hi all, here for Monday check in.
An unexpected woosh considering I was still 234 this weekend. I was proud of myself when went out to eat for lunch on Saturday, the menu had calories on so chose more mindfully, but managed to fit dessert in. Fingers crossed it stays around and keeps going. Would be a boost as could meet my mini goal of being 230 and under.
I've been able to get a bit more walking in and looking into doing a 22 mile walk for charity in next few months which will be a challenge, but so rewarding!
I've unexpectedly been invited over for tea (evening meal) at relatives on Wednesday which will be a takeaway so going to try and be mindful where possible.
I got a reduced price small cake from supermarket tonight that can take in work in the coming days as a nice gesture and a celebration. With the cake being small and easter around the corner, it came into my head could also use up some of leftover Christmas chocolate by making easter nests to go alongside. I may end up having a bit of each, but will certainly help me to use up leftover chocolate in the house.3 -

@rwood566 Roger, it us awesome that you shared your story. It is inspiring and wishing you success with your consult tomorrow.
Hopped on the scale this morning and it read 133.9! While it’s always nice to lose weight I am working on maintenance.
Both mens’ and women’s teams made it to the sweet 16! Between the Chicago Bulls and college ball I will be watching a lot of tv in the coming weeks. And if it couldn’t get any better, it was 75 degrees here, I’m within calories and the Bulls are on tonight! So many blessings!3 -
Good evening everyone.
Check in for 3/21:
Steps - 5885
Calories - 1450. Missed lunch so I snacked. Low cal dinner. Fish and steamed veg. New dessert. Banana chocolate cake.
Exercise - none. Gave 7 tubes blood and saw a surgeon. Light shopping after dinner.
My consult went well. Dr. Said he will gladly take the skin. He was surprised that my belly is so small. My legs will be first up but may be done in steps.3 -

Need to get more Cardio in, just been eating well and doing weights. Hopefully in the 170's next week 🙏
Awesome loss! What type of cardio do you like?
On the treadmill yesterday, it's tough after about an hour of weights. Sometimes that or like the cross trainer too.1 -
