I’ve been keeping up on reading all the posts but run out of time to post myself. My 2 part time jobs haven’t been so part time lately but I’m starting to get better at saying no and taking some time for myself.

I reached out to a personal trainer and she’s going to set up a program for me that I can do from home so I’m looking forward to that. She’s also big into nutrition so I like that she takes a whole body approach.

@RaquelFit2 I like IF. I find it reasonably easy to fit it into my lifestyle. I still only do up to 24 hr fasts because of meds but if I plan to fast until 6 and only make until 3 I still feel like I’ve accomplished something.

@leti126 what a cool idea to have a movie theatre with cardio equipment. I’d love it if regular movie theatres did that.

@Katmary71 I didn’t find the beet greens tasted like beets. I had them in a salad and they reminded me of spinach but a bit more bitter like arugula. Although it’s late in the season I’m thinking of planting more beets just to use for the greens

I noticed some are tracking their steps and I wanted to jump in on that. My goal is 10,000 and you can see it’s been all over the place but knowing someone besides myself will see the numbers will push me to hit it daily! ☺️

@shaunarir83 As others here taught me the easiest for replying is to open a second window and snap each side by side and reply, I used to reply at the bottom and was great for losing my responses all the time. Way to go on the workout!

@trooworld I love how much you're enjoying the Tonal. I'm like you, I like competing against myself. Pretty awesome achievement badges! Hope your hair comes out great!

@Jactop I'm so happy you're back, I know I said it already but had to do it again! The personal trainer sounds like a great way to go. I'll have to take some beets from the food bank farm to try them.

Happy Saturday everyone, hope you all had a great day! I worked out then went to the food bank farm for a few hours and volunteered, we had a big crowd and got a lot done. The day was mellow, been tired from medication changes so I took a nap, gardened, fed my brother's cat, then went to my neighbor's for dinner which was fun, she sent me home with a bunch of new books again. Tomorrow's just the workout challenge then running by my neighbor's for some pots she wants to get rid of. My zucchini and summer squash are real unhappy in the grow bags so I may try to transplant them depending on what I get tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!

YAY! Nice job team! We killed it week 1!

@trooworld The tonal does sound amazing, I like that idea of challenging yourself and competing against yourself. It sounds super successful!

Hi all. Just checking in! I have definitely overate this weekend as my husband and I went out for dinner and got italian and I couldn't resist some pizza and a large portion of pasta BUT I did track it to the best of my ability which is something I normally wouldn't do when I know I'm eating over. We did go on two walks despite the heat wave we are in and I went to the farmers market and prepped myself with lots of veggies for the rest of the week!

Here are my step counts from the past couple days that I didn't update
Friday: 12,761
Saturday: 8,220

@shaunalr83 Wow I think I would've counted cleaning all day as my workout, way to go! Oh no, sorry to hear how sore you are, that's always the downside to new workouts, I hope you're better soon and able to move better tomorrow.

@trooworld That sounds like a fun night with the husband! Have a great time with your friend.

Wow team we're at the top, go Slimpossibles!

@shaunalr83 @19shmoo69 @Jactop way to go team, you're the leaders of the pack!

@leti126 Way to go on tracking, that's definitely a win! The walks and farmer's market sound great, talk about setting your week up for success.

@laurelfit57 Congratulations on your son's wedding, have a wonderful time and enjoy the food! Glad you stopped in and said hi, it sounds like you're doing amazing staying on track.


Hi gang, weekend's over! I did my workout this morning then spent half the day reading and the other half in the yard. The salsa competition is in two days, I made some tonight that wasn't bad but need to get more supplies for Tuesday since I need to make a gallon, wonder how many tomatoes that would be?! We got new mailboxes and I have to go to the post office to pick up my new key so I'll do that after the store tomorrow. Have a great Monday everyone!

Sorry for late

Hi! My weigh in day is tomorrow, but I wanted to check in with my step count:
Augt 1: 7,925
2: 12,787
3: 8,745
4: 6,868
5: 6,700
6: 13,111
7: 11,719

I realized that MFP is off for some reason; it seems to cut off and not update the final number of steps for the day. So here are the numbers from my Health app.

Walked 0.7 miles to church in the morning yesterday for a meeting... then in the evening walked with my family to the park, played for a bit, then walked back home to turn the oven from proof to bake. Enjoyed some fresh whole wheat bread, courtesy of my DH. I am very lucky and blessed!

I dig the Bingo challenge idea... I have been able to mark off a few things. I'll post where I'm at when I do my weigh-in tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure I will be happy with my numbers since I hit another new low today! 140! So close to the 130's again, I can taste it! Well actually right now I am tasting granny smith apples, cherries, and cotton candy grapes. I do so love fresh fruit. My food diary should look really nice today - an ideal workday for me. I pre-log, so my dinner might change. But I'll try not to.

Trying a new product from a friend... some NuSkin lotion that's supposed to tighten up your skin and make it look smoother. Started using it 8/7. Took before photos of my upper arms and tummy. I hope it actually works (won't know for about a month) & that it was worth the $60 pricetag *grumbles skeptically*

WEIGH DAY⚖️

Previous Weight: 195.8
Current Weight: 195.2

Today I spent 45 minutes picking up things that don’t belong in my driveway, tried to stay mindful to squat with my legs instead of bending with my back.

I then went blackberry picking with a friend. It’s the end of the season and she didn’t get much but it was a nice visit. After she left I walked a mile and a half to hit my step goal!

Could have drank more water today but I was sidetracked a lot.

Life is a roller coaster and I sure am riding it 😂 whatever else is going on in my life, I’m putting myself first!!! Thank yall for everything!!! You guys are “everything I never knew I always wanted!” ☺️ If you know what movie that came from we can just go ahead and become best friends right now!!! 😉
