    I can’t believe I am 69 steps short. My weight is back down this morning. I am 206.4 which is 3 pounds less than Friday and down 5 from Thursday. I am off to go grocery shopping as my husband is ready to go.

    Yay will done, you'll soon be back in onederland :)

    Exercise- walk in frigid morning. 90 minutes. Left home it was 52F and I was in shorts. Brrr.

    Great walk and yup that is cold. We are also in the 50’s here in my corner of France. It’s been rainy and wet to top it off. I haven’t worn shorts in a few months now lol. I’m always kinda cold.

    Good morning again team.

    I’m going to start commenting and posting daily again. I think participating in this amazing community will help me get back on track. I can’t promise anything just yet except I will try my absolute best. ♥️

    Surprising considering i haven't been that good with my diet. I think it was offset by how busy ive been. Had the week off work so we got lots of things done around the house, setting up for Halloween, then we decorated the living room and de-cluttered the garage, i did an extra nightshift and it was really busy. Our greyhound escaped whilst we were decorating and i had to run all the way to the woods to catch him, which was not easy, he's an ex racer and can go 40mph if he wants to!

    You had a busy week! So glad you caught your dog - I've been through this so many times and it is scary! Great that you lost!

    I agree that I do better when I post and read daily. I'm traveling Monday and Tuesday, but am going to try to be more consistent, as well.

    So...I couldn't decide whether to post this or not, but my main motivation is to spread awareness of this very rare cancer - Small Cell Ovarian cancer. To date, there are only 500 cases reported. I'm moving temporarily to CO to be the primary caregiver through chemo and then a bone marrow transplant. I have been medicating with food over the sadness, she is only 28 years old. My weight seems like such a minor thing to worry about, but I know that as caregiver, my health is also a priority. I've been telling myself I will get back on the health wagon on Wednesday. We all go through such tough things in life and prayers for each of you as you face whatever may be in your life now.

    YAY! in the 140s again!
    Sitting in the parking lot of the gym about to go to weight lifting class.

    A friend gave me 2 quarts of honey so I am going to make baklava today (never made it before). So hopefully I can find enough neighbors etc to pass out extras!

    Congrats on the loss!

    Steps are not accurate as I went to the mall for just over an hour. I used my walker so my watch didn’t register my steps. Same for grocery shopping in the morning.

    It certainly isn’t easy especially if one’s days are jammed packed with chores errands and runs. But I will also be making more efforts than I’ve done over the past few months.

    Good morning team!

    Well I guess I will start trying to do daily check ins as it will keep me motivated to post daily and check in with everyone and participate and be more active in here.

    Sunday check-in 11/06

    Sundays are rest days for me but I would like to at least get 10,000 steps each day. It’s not easy as it tends to be a lazy day in my house. I’m the only one who gets dressed in my house. Everyone else stays in pajamas lol. I have no choice as I’m the one who walks the dog.

    My goals for the week will be 3 karate sessions, 3 gym sessions, 10,000 steps a day, log my food every day, stay on or under allowed calorie goal each day. Drink 2L of water each day. Wednesdays and Sundays are rest days but I want them to be active rest days. This is where the 10.000 steps is very important. And to say something positive/nice to myself each day. I’m tired of putting myself down on the daily. I’ll start with that for now. Let’s see how it goes.

    Steps :

    Sun - 9,631
    Mon -
    Tues -
    Weds -
    Thur -
    Fri -
    Sat -

    Goals :

    Karaté - 0/3
    Gym - 1/3
    Log food - 1/7
    Stay under - 1/7
    Drink 2L - 1/7
    Say something Nice to myself - 0/7

    What watch do you have. When I had the Apple Watch it was not great when I was pushing a stroller or shop kart. I find Fitbit is much better but very sensitive so it’s recoding every small move.
