@shaunarlr83 I forgot to post the pic of Blackbear Bosin's famous statue in Wichita, Kansas, "Keeper of the Plains." I think everyone should see how awesome it is and Google his other work too.

@TeresaW1020 You are welcome! I know it is intimidating, there is a lot to think about...take your time! And yes, thank you @Cornanda for suggesting the challenge! Yes to dancing to Prince!!! WOO HOO!!! Oh such good news about Joe! I hope they can figure out the anemic problem and that it is something easily solved. Poor Maggie Mae. Great goals for the challenge! And great first day. You've got this.

@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm glad you had a good time at the conference. I bet you did a lot of walking. Cute picture! I hope the new plan helps you get to where you want to go.

@leti126 Congrats on the loss! Great step counts there. I'm sorry about the IBS flair-up, that must have been the pits. I hope you enjoy your last weekend of freedom, do you have plans for the weekend? Great goals!

@davors19 Well done, great loss!

@shaunarlr83 Thank you! That sucks about Beachbody pulling the funds early. I hope you find a coach that motivates you. I'm glad the challenge will help get you into your groove! That's great it worked out to wait. And I'm glad your mom's surgery was postponed, that worked out well! I think sometimes we should all sit and wait, that when we rush things/force things, it doesn't work out. Enjoy your hiking, I'm hiking tomorrow too!

@19shmoo69 YES!!!! Great NSV! I have problems with clipping my toenails myself. I can imagine you must have been delighted to do it without your lips turning purple!

@Katmary71 His "women" are just as fun to dance to as well! That's a good idea to do 2 things a day. Sorry about the fire alarms, that must have driven you nuts. Have a great Saturday!

@GabiV125 Congrats on the loss!

@TeresaW1020 @shaunalr83 That is a really cool statue! Thanks for sharing about your uncle and thanks for sharing the picture, Teresa.

Hello all. I am not at all happy with my gain but not surprised: I got groceries yesterday morning and some chips and dip jumped into my basket. At home, they didn't last long. My husband and I didn't end up going to get a beer, we came home and had a Prime Video Watch party with my best friend. Are you familiar with those? It's where you watch the same movie with someone(s) that aren't in the same place as you and you can chat through a chatbox on the screen of your tv. It's fun. We started a couple of movies but neither were any good so we gave up and went to bed.

CHALLENGE CHECK-IN: I drank enough water but I did not meditate yesterday.

My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"

Steps:
8/23: 14,057
8/24: 8,088
8/25: 8,155
8/26: 13,902

My 3 goals for now until 9/22:
1. 10k+ steps/day weekly average
2. Close my exercise ring 5+ days/week
3. 7 days in a row without going over on calories… twice

I got too far behind and just caught up so I will jump in where I am.

@trooworld - I think it might have been @Katmary71 who had the challenge idea. I'm in! Will post my stuff later. Not sure why I have to think about things so long lol.

@TeresaW1020 - I'm still praying for Joe and I hope the biopsy comes out OK. Doing wills sucks- makes you think about all the things you don't want to think about. But it has to be done, so good for you.

@19shmoo69 - I think you need to be careful about what you are posting on here. The toenail one made me laugh out loud and I almost spit out my coffee. That would be a tragedy.

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I had iced green tea yesterday, so I played for both teams! #teamcoffee #teamtea

LOVE the Keeper of the plains statue! HATE smoke detector batteries!

Had a decent week at work. Starting a new project- It will be nice to have something different to do. I got partially back on track this week- more exercise and more healthy snacks. I need to put up a really good week this week because next week is my husband's birthday, so some treats are planned. And then 2 days after that we leave on a vacation to visit our family in WI- there will be a lot of eating out and you may remember how my MIL stocks up on sweets when we are there. I think that's what's holding me back on getting all the way back on track is that I know I will soon be off track again, but that doesn't make sense.

Back with challenge goals later.

OK, I wanted to see if that pic would load.... that is the crochet project that I started in 2009 and finished about 2 weeks ago. I had all the squares done, but I put it aside and never got around to sewing it together. My daughter picked out all of the yarn colors- hopefully she still likes them now since it took me so long to finish this for her. I know she will be very surprised to get it.

@trooworld I love your watch party, Bill and I pick a movie and watch it together, that's why I wasn't on last night, I was watching The Wolf on Wall Street, it was 3 hours long and I didn't know until the last hour but it's a good movie. We take turns picking.

@Cornanda Love your quilt, must feel great to finish it!

Hi gang, doing a quick drop in, going to take off for my brother's for a family get together soon. Still working out and mostly eating well except last night I fell off the wagon into a peanut butter jar. I'm still thinking of goals, I'll probably do meditation and a booty band workout or strength training, still deciding. Have a great Sunday!

Challenge check in
My workouts are planned for the week and I drew spaces on my calendar to record my success with eating and exercise for the day. Visual stuff seems to help me.

Have a good week!

@Cornanda I totally get your mentality on getting back on track because of your vacation and your hubby’s b-day. My only advice is to fight the urge to throw in the towel completely. Treat each meal as its own thing so that you can choose to eat on plan when you are able to. Or when you want to! What a beautiful blanket! I am sure your daughter will love it.

@trooworld that is a beautiful pic from your hike. Glad you had fun with your friend.


Hi Team! It’s been a good day of hitting my goals and keeping my mind on tomorrow’s weigh-in at TOPS. My sister and I finished our puzzle and we are missing three pieces. We are fairly convinced that the dog got the because my sister is constantly dropping them on the floor.

My Goals: Monday, 8/29

1. Minimum 17 hour clean fast 17 hrs. 45 min.
2. At least 20 min. of physical activity every day 60 minute leg program
3. NO gains on the scale! I had a loss
4. EXTRA: Post my daily results check

Huge NSV for me - instead of raiding the refrigerator for snacks I shouldn't eat, I am satisfied with an evening cup of nutty almond cream herbal tea 😊
