    @PlaneMonkey Congrats on the game winning goal on the eve of your birthday! I have to ask, did you beat the team with long ponytails? Love the moon pictures! We are hoping to check it out here and maybe see some of the meteor shower. Might not work out with the moon. You have gotten so much done! Looks so great, nice job!

    Loss this week: 0.2 lbs

    Good morning WaistAways!

    Given that last week's loss was so big, and this week is TOM, I will take this and run with it.

    Last night at the gym was a class about floorwork and a class about getting into the splits, and I am feeling that floorwork class this morning. Muscles I didn't know I had are tired.

    Thanks for all the support about the chair routine @jugar (you're right that having to perform for people pushes you a lot to improve), @ashleycarole86 (it's September 9th, which feels both too far away and way too soon), and @KayLRZ (hip hop class sounds like so much fun!).

    @Tcathey45 my thoughts are with you, your sister, and your family. Take care of yourself, too. :heart:

    @eggfreak the garden, much like everywhere in life, thrives when we remove what's not working and encourage what is. :smile:

    @KellyBgetsfit a kindergarten teacher! Thank you for your service, haha.

    @conleywoods the cage sounds so neat! With lots of little fiddly pieces to sew, I bet. You must be very talented- I can only sew a straight line on a machine, anything more than that and it turns into a mess. :lol:

    WAY TO GO:
    @bowens1973, that's a fantastic loss!

    @PlaneMonkey the gamewinning goal right before your birthday!? Incredible. Also, your backyard revitalization looks fantastic so far.

    Happy Friday, everyone!

    Courtney, happy birthday @PlaneMonkey

    Love the hockey pic.. your joy and exuberance radiates through your posts.

    Congrats on the return to the 180s!! Have such a great weekend.

    @KellyBgetsfit It seems so early for the school year to be starting.. am I nuts?

    @micki48 Sorry the after effects of covid are kicking your butt so badly. Glad you're recognizing it and giving yourself patience and not overdoing it. Hopefully you'll be back to full force soon.

    Happy Friday!

    @PlaneMonkey Happy Birthday, hope your day is full of fun and frolics with all you have planned. So much good going on with you, congrats on scoring the winning goal and can't wait for the next installment of reno photos and reports on your games. I can go forward on ice and round a bend, anything else ends up with me on the floor, I salute you!

    @conleywoods I admire anyone who can get a hold of their macros and just shows how our self talk can motivate us to make good choices and get results

    @CupcakeCrusoe How wonderful you get to strut your stuff, I would love to go to a chair or pole class but until there is one available near me and I get the stones, I will wait for your updates, lol

    @Tcathey45 Sorry to hear about your sister. Love to you and your family

    @YinxFed I find zoom meetings exhausting too. Enjoy your day off and lie in

    @KellyBgetsfit How many questions do you get in a day? Kinders are my favourite aged kids, they're little minds are so open and free and enquiring

    @micki48 Wildlife eh. We have a plum tree that is really poorly, I had a bunch of about 5 plums that were getting nicely ripened and the deer ate them. It's with the 5 pear trees that I actively shake for pears to fall for the deer to eat. Do they not know the difference lol?


    Today we are off to the Route 66 festival in Springfield, MO, should be a fun day

    Apparently, it’s the birthplace of the Mother Road and where Route 66 was named in a meeting in 1926.

    There’s a street party, car show, live music, food trucks, shopping and a parade.

    It’s our first time going so I’m hoping it’s a lot of fun

    Today is going to be dismal for steps! I forgot to put on my fitbit this morning, and have been sitting working on a project proposal for most of the day. Going out for a walk now! Even if the day's totals will be sad.

    Speaking of numbers, once I finally put on my fitbit at around 3:30 this afternoon, I then went out and got over 10,000 steps in anyhow. I would not have done that last month when I was not wearing it! The team competition helps a lot. Of course, I then went and blew it on food and wine. Sigh. At least this morning's weigh-in was OK :blush:

    Great comeback on the steps! We got home from the festival, I checked my steps and had about 400 to reach 10,000. Thought to myself I’d go to the orchard and drop some pears for the deers so that would get me over 10k and double my move goal (which was also under by about 40 cals)….. squirrel :o totally got sidetracked, stayed on the couch and did achieve either :(

    I finally broke my streak yesterday...kind of. It was another Kindergarten Teacher's birthday, so I had a small piece of cake. Then, when I got home, I was so hot from parent pick up, I ate an ice cream sandwich. I logged it and was actually only 50 calories over my goal deficit , and way below what my fitbit said!!! According to my fitbit, which I know isn't always accurate, I burned 2400 yesterday. My macro calculated calorie goal is 1548. This morning, the scale was down a pound from Wed, which is very motivating to keep it together this weekend

    @ashleycarole It really depends on the region you live in. East and West Coast states tend tostart after Labor Day (beginning of Sept)but go until June. We start in Aug, but get out before Memorial Day (end of May). Arizona goes back in July!!! They have more of a year round model with longer breaks during the year.

    @micki48 That is so exciting that you get to work in Juliette's class. I currently don't have any pants that fit me well, hence the weight loss motivation. I have been rocking dresses since it so hot. My pants, and shirts definitely vary in sizes.

    @loraineGB at the beginning of the year, it is insane! This time of year, I just want them to learn to raise their hands, so I allow all kinds of questions and comments and it takes forever to get through a lesson. But, I love it.

    @Jugar you are amazing getting all your steps so late in the day. I had a pretty good week, so I might beat you. 😏 Mabel was crying half the night, no idea why, so I am exhausted, but you are motivating to me to get up and move!!!

    @jugar if you can throw in one more step challenge line to the spreadsheet, that'd be great!

    Exercise catchup:
    8/11: 16986 steps + 37 minutes Peloton
    8/12: 7676 steps + 10 minutes strength

    How does the daily step thing work? I have a Garmin.

    Got your steps - thanks!

    The week runs Sunday-Saturday, so I'll just need your Saturday steps tomorrow as well.
    Additionally, if you do any minutes of intentional exercise outside your step counts, please go ahead and give me those minutes of activity as well as I can convert those to steps and add them.
    Lastly, if you have a daily step goal with that in mind that you are targeting, let me know and I'll also keep track of how many days you hit that.

    Thanks!

    @CupcakeCrusoe Wow! Those photos are great - and you look amazing. I love the lighting - usually exercise classes are in boring fully lit spaces. I can see why you enjoy this. Great atmosphere, beautiful moves, and lots of muscles and flexibility. WTG!

    The truly beautiful colours and flavours are now flowing in from the garden - eggplant, four kinds of tomatoes, red chard, kale, carrots, beans, zucchini, and still some blueberries. Yum. And so far I have not had to start plotting the downfall of the groundhog kingdom! As long as I give the slugs some beer and the cabbage moths some BT, all is quiet and we get to eat it all.

    The week is coming to a close! Send in those last weigh-ins, and we'll see how we shaped up alongside the other teams.
