Finally a weekend when I didn't totally blow it! I've been bouncing around 229 on and off over the last few weeks but the weekend events have tended to upend my weight loss plans. We actually had 4 couples over Saturday night for "Corn hole and Cocktails" (Susan's idea) and we all had a great time with the semi-formal tournament play. I cooked hamburgers with the full toppings bar, Susan made a lighter-style coleslaw and the others brought various appetizers and deserts. I had an apple and some raw veggies beforehand so as to avoid circling the potato ships like a vulture and it worked! Sunday we walked around the Botanical Gardens to get my steps in. Anyway, it was nice to have a fun weekend and a good Monday weigh-in.

Tues- 10,821

Sun-4,317 - we went on a long road trip to Charmouth in Dorsett, fossil hunting on the beach and a picnic, was a nice day.
My steps have been good this week but there were a few days that I could have been better with diet, so that's my goal for the coming week-to eat healthy. Also aiming to get up early before work for exercise 🤞

Your steps are great. Fossil hunting is so much fun. Good luck with both your diet and exercise this week.

Awesome loss! Great job on having a healthy snack before dinner. I laughed when you said circling the potato chips like a vulture because it describes me perfectly when there is chips around.

Quick swim yesterday. I am going to Sparta this morning to go to a candle shop. We will probably do some walking around though it won’t be reflected in my steps tomorrow. Having lunch out but I will make good choices.

Welcome to the team @MarieZ159! Hope you have a great September!

We are off for our 1st walk since June...Nervous but excited

Just got back from our walk ... we walked 134 minutes ....5.37 miles ...718 cals burned ... my hip is on fire ....gonna go soak in a hot bubble bath

Well done! Hope the hip recovers quickly and this is the start of many walks!

Hello Everyone, My name is Marie, and I'll be joining you for the September challenge.

My main goal is not to just lose the lbs, but improve my over all health. It's not easy to start over at nearly 60 years old. (Old habits die hard) as the saying goes. I would like to be in better health as I slowly enter my senior years, so I can truly enjoy them. 😀

Thanks for allowing me to join this awesome group

@fatfifties- I officially don't start until September. However, I was wondering if possible could I join your 21 lb gone by Christmas. I'm hoping to lose at least that amount or a little more. Thanks! Marie.

Good evening all. The heat is here for the next week at least. Triple digits will make my walks hard.
Check in:
Steps - 16475
Calories - 2200.
Exercise - walk late morning. 2 hours even. Added a bit of shopping while out. Looking for multivitamins.
Want to play pickleball indoors tomorrow and probably gym for the next week.

@lindamtuck2018 the best beer food they had was pulled pork, mashed red potato with stout beer gravy. They had a creme Brule with a pale beer, fish tacos with beer batter, which were boring since we can have those all over town anyway. We are having Salisbury steak tomorrow with mashed spuds and I am thinking on trying to make the stout gravy.

Welcome! There are a few of us in our late 50’s on the team. I just turned 58 myself. It’s never too late to get healthy. I am now insulin free with my A1C in the non diabetic range. If you go back and read Roger’s introduction at the beginning of August you will see a truly inspiring story of getting healthy.

I impressed myself with my eating at the restaurant yesterday. I split a meal with my friend and didn’t even eat all mine. I am not impressed with all the money I spent on candles and wax melts. I am planning on laps and maybe arms today. I need a good stretch because I was sitting a lot yesterday.


@Megan_smartiepants1970
