Happy Sunday!
We did not have the most stellar of week 3s but we're all set for a better week 4, right? We have two amazing people who have lost all 3 weeks so far and might make it to a fully green month:

Ugh. I saw an amazing number on Friday. I thought, hey I might make it to the 140s by the end of the month after all. Then, I had 1 cheat meal Friday night - a half order of nachos, which I didn't finish and 2 beers. The scale is still up 2 pounds.😭 Why is it so easy to aging, so hard to lose??? I think I will still see green on Wed, but I'm not holding out for 140s.3

Arrrrgh! So frustrating - but the beers would do that easily. It will come off fast - stick with it and you'll see those 140s soon.KellyBgetsfit wrote: »Ugh. I saw an amazing number on Friday.

Good morning WaistAways!
True to my promise to myself, I'm checking in here again in the morning before work, like I used to. That was a good habit that got me very far.
Weight 180.6, so down 1/5 of a pound from yesterday. Gotta keep that energy. And luckily, at work, I drink way more water than I do at home.
My breakfast, lunch, and snacks are packed, logging them now, and dinner is planned already- sausages with summer squash (my husband tried a new variety this year that grows very large. He's not awake for me to ask, but google lens tells me they're rampicante).
Needless to say, I'm eating squash with my chicken for lunches every day this week.
Tonight is my return to the gym! A pole class and a choreographed dance routine, very excited. I'm going to take it a little easy, listen to my body, just in case I need to take it a little slower after having covid.
Have a great day everyone!

@PlaneMonkey
For t-spine, we had a pole across the shoulders with arms straight, and did rotations first with the hips/head fixed forward, then allowing everything to move. We did this with the 20kg bar as well as the broom handle. We also had my arms crossed with hands on shoulders, (like hugging myself) and elbows up, seated, to try and keep the hips fixed, again doing rotations. We did these with resistance bands too, and although Craig held the other end, I'm pretty sure I could DIY it at home.
For hips/glutes, we did one foot on the weight bench, stepping up with the other, then holding the back leg straight whilst lowering down very slowly to touch the floor. The aim is to keep ankle/knee/hip in alignment at all times. The second exercise is a split squat, where the back foot is up on the weight bench, but only using it for balance; the front leg should take all the weight.
I had a good weekend, felt nice and quiet. OH worked Saturday-day and Sunday afternoon/evening, so I enjoyed quite a bit of time to myself. Between the allotment and cross stitch, I felt quite busy, but it was very relaxed for the most part. Despite digging a full strawberry bed yesterday (3.8x1.2m), I feel good today. Planning to use that energy to get a few smaller jobs out of the way later, as OH is working again this evening.5 -

This past week I ate the healthiest I have ever eaten - I needed to stay within my calories but I also needed to ensure my body was given all the nutrients it needed for recovery. I included fruit, vegetables, protein, dairy and whole grains each and every day. 🎶🎵Whoa! I feel good, I knew that I would, now🎵🎶
CONGRATULATIONS @Kali225 @lauren_989 @kellie_erin Waistaways Week 3 Winners!7 -
@CupcakeCrusoe those squash are cool! I hope they taste as amazing as they look. Great job on getting all the meal prep done - we'll all be right over
@DD265 So glad you're feeling better! Thanks for the exercise descriptions - those sound really useful. Happy strawberry dreams
@CarolAnnM2 You and your new hip seem to be rocking life and recovering like pros. Keep it up!
Uh oh - the chimney sweep just drove up. The annual "let's make a big mess while making your chimneys all clean"! What fun

Happy Monday (9/26, my OH’s birthday)!
My daughter helped put together the requested Tiramisu after I went to work this morning. Wowza! It’s some tasty. It’s good that I prefer other types of desert more than that one, or I’d be over my weekly caloric allotment by 10:00 tonight!
I’m heading to bed shortly and plan to take a walk after my haircut tomorrow afternoon.
@jugar the enthusiastic mushroom singers are amazing! I’ll be sure Moni sees ‘em!
More soon. Sleep well, everyone❣️
