Hi MS..... You have a new member joining your wonderful team ... Please welcome @soaness

@cornanda Good morning, and yes, I did my exercise and yes the chocolate is all gone 😊. I also talked myself out of dessert and cleaned my teeth and went to bed with a book instead. I could hear DH up and rummaging for something for himself so stayed right away. It wasn’t a perfect day - work temptations got to me, but it was definitely a better day. Thanks for asking 😊👍. How bout you? Did you get that exercise done? I’ve done my usual morning session today and will do a set of strength after work.

@laurelfit57 Way to go!

@DrewsAnna Have fun decorating! I'd love to see them if you get the chance and are willing to share!

@Tamevv OK my friend, rein it in, it's time to get back to it! Get those side crunches done and check in with me! I did mine today, I thought of you but I'm not sharing my results not that I can see them after this last week! I had a run-in with Trader Joe's white chocolate peppermint pretzels and they're now banned in my house, time to lay off popcorn too for me. You got this, keep logging too even if you aren't eating perfect, it's easier to get back to it if you have one foot in. Woohoo, glad you did them yesterday and this morning!

@Cornanda OT doesn't sound fun, good luck with it, you must be beat! Did you get up and do your exercise?

@trooworld So glad you had fun at the zoo, I bet a lot of people went on Friday so it was a good day to go. LOVE your village!

@soaness @hlnnan Welcome to Slimpossibles!

@shaunarlr83 Way to go on the weigh-in! Good luck tomorrow on the test, I'm sure you'll do great. You definitely sound super busy, I'm so glad you're having a good time with your family and hope the final move goes well. Very impressed by how strong you're being, you got this!

Hi team! I woke up super early but that meant I was able to get my workout in before my OB/GYN appointment. They double-booked the doctors and I was in the waiting room for quite awhile not feeling too hot and my BP went pretty high. The nurse wanted me to sit there and come back and redo it and I told her it would be worse because sitting without my legs elevated is painful and I'd been in the waiting room for an hour already, she had me lay down instead and it went back to slightly high instead of go-to-the-hospital high. Have a couple options of what to do next as far as female stuff but am weighing my options. I have an appointnent about procedures Wednesday so I want to get by that first. Back on track with food and exercise today and it feels good, yay! I won't lie, I'd love to munch on something tonight like I did the last almost week but my weight's up 4lbs so it's all about control! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

@trooworld - your zoo day sounds great and your village is amazing!

@shaunarlr1983 - Lots going on for you and you are holding steady on the weight. Good work all around!

@Tamevv - Nice work! Let me know how the rest of today goes----> see below

@Katmary71 - Oh my gosh, I could not let those pretzels into my house at all. Yum! That sucks about waiting so long- I hope they come up with something that will help you.

@hinnan- Welcome! Good luck with getting your fitness going.

I did get off the couch and did my exercise yesterday. It felt good. I'm about to repeat that today. I did NOT eat well yesterday- I felt abnormally sleepy all day- very odd- like I was coming down with something- I spent the day munching to stay awake. I feel better today. Please ask me how my eating was on Tuesday.

Hey yall, I’m Hanna 28 y/o and it’s been wonderful to join the team!

I've recently consulted back with my nutritionist after 10 years since I’m in my highest weight ever for the majority of the year. I'm currently working on tracking and keeping my food diary updated. I get highly motivated when I’m in a group so I hope to share the good energy with you all~

Up a tiny bit, not going to beat myself up over it. I feel smaller and the skirts I bought 2 weeks ago, I can pull them off without unzipping them. My wedding ring feels too big, and I just got to wear it after many years of it being too small. I might have to return some skirts. I increased my calories by 50 a day. It's the holiday season but I'm not feeling very festive. I will put out our advent calendars today.

I went to the audiologist to get my hearing aids adjusted this morning; I can stand the sound of running water now. It sounds more normal to me. I had no idea hearing aids were so complicated. I have to relearn how to hear normal sounds that I have not heard for years. My world was actually pretty quiet. I confess I miss the quiet, the world is so noisy. I still can't hear the sounds our microwave makes. I had to ask my husband it if makes sounds. He said he hears it every time I use it.

I got new tires on my Jeep Saturday and I have it scheduled to get an alignment tomorrow morning. The hood release cable got fixed last week.

Our homeowner's insurance decided they no longer want to do business in our area so I'm looking to find another company. I hate insurance and taxes.

It's time to make lunch. I hope everybody has a good week.

Hi @Katmary71, thanks 😊

I like and would benefit from strength training but I also like walking and cycling.

Due to a shoulder injury and problems with my hips and one knee I am currently having to stick to pilates and painkillers!

I have very little muscle (always been that way) and I know that more of it would help me the most.

My plan has recovery exercises every day but most of the time I feel self conscious and so I don't do it!

@hlnnan Hi there, way to go on getting your diet on track! What kind of exercise do you like to do?

@Cornanda Way to go on doing your exercise, hope you were able to do it today too. How was your eating today?

@gemwolf110 I like the idea of a turkey to tree challenge, what will you be doing for it? Glad you're tracking, that's wonderful!

@soaness Hi Hanna! You sound like you're starting off well with tracking and logging, I look forward to chatting with you.

@trooworld Yay for more veggies and water, you're doing great!

@Tamevv Hope your self analysis day goes well, I started out typing how I wondered it if it was a good or bad thing but you'll figure it out I'm sure. Yes the pretzels are dangerous especially because at Trader Joe's it's only 5-6 servings but Costco sells a huge bag so I'm scared to walk by it if I go there!

@FushiaKat Have a great week Kat! My hairdresser lost his hearing suddenly and has a hearing aid in one ear, it is more complicated in how we hear than one would think.

@happysquidmuffin Woohoo, gym twice today and stay away from that sugar and it's the beginning of a new streak, you got this! That was me yesterday (minus the gym), I still want to munch but now I have a streak to continue and you will too!

Hi team, hope you all had a great day! I'm having a bad pain day and trying to not stress eat, I'm going to head back to my room for the night to read in a few. Got some Christmas shopping done earlier and picked up a bunch of stocking items which were mostly candy at TJ Maxx, when I was checking out she said I must have the munchies pretty bad which is pretty funny since I had so much junk but alas all I got for me was wrapping paper and a face scrub. I'm definitely aware of it all being in the house though so this will take some willpower. Have a great Wednesday, this week is flying already!

They have 3 different activities every day. Like push ups, plank, crunches, circuit workouts. It’s small but crazy how out of shape I have become. Used to be able to do an 8 minute plank back when I was in the best shape of my life. Now 30 seconds seems a lot.

Surprised at the loss but I’ll take it.

Yesterday I didn’t get to the strength work - and by “get to” I mean completely forgot 😔. Obviously that has not worked into my habitual routine yet- must figure out how to get it in. How did you all go with exercise yesterday? I’m looking at you @Cornanda and @Katmary71 ?

@katmary71 I’m the opposite - i much prefer working out at home - waaaaay to self conscious to go public. I go super red in the face and huff and puff and sweat a lot. Plus the logistics - at home I can slip in a full workout without having to add travel time. Also, just read your other comment and great work on exercise and food!! So how about today? Repeat success?

@trooworld - I hope those headaches go away FAST! I like the HALT thing you posted.

@Tamevv - I too skipped my strength work out yesterday. I did walk an extra 15 min. My excuse was that I didn't sleep great, but I know I could have managed it. Let's make a pact to get our planned strength workouts in next week. My days are Tuesday and Thursday. I do step on Mon/Wed.

@happysquidmuffin - Yay for day 3! Is your streak still going?

@19shmoo69 - sounds yummy!

@DrewsAnna - Sending you hugs. Maybe try to take some time and process this? I'm an emotional thinker and eater. Sometimes long walks with lots of thinking or journaling help me sort out what the real issue is and then I can deal with it.

It's FRIDAY! Hubby and I took today off. We are going to a nature area for a nice walk, and then lunch and some errands. When we get home, I'l try to tackle some stuff on my To Do list that aren't done. Should be a nice relaxing start to the weekend.

@Katmary71
You do much better than me! I am self concious about exercise even in only my own company but as you say it should fade if I persist. I am only trying exercises at home and walking af the moment.
