@bowens1973 I totally understand and you are absolutely among friends. We all hit hard times and you definitely have a lot going on. Sounds like you have some great things in place to help you move forward. Life was different when you started your journey. Work and long drives suck up a ton of time. I know you will find a new routine that works. Just keep trying, that's all we can ask of ourselves sometimes. Motivation comes and goes. This is a great time to work on being disciplined. We use discipline to get to work when we don't want to. We all need to continue to work on discipline with our health too. Hugs❤5

Dec 16 exercise:
7704 steps
I wanted so badly to hit my 10K steps but it would have required me to go out for a second walk and I just couldn't get the energy. Oh well. I plan to hop onto the Peloton today! As I said yesterday, my exercise stats for week 2 are trending to be an improvement over week 1. Small steps!4 -
@jugar can I be moved to the support team for the rest of December, it's just too much right now to do this6

Greetings Friends!
Ben and I had a lovely Christmas supper last night - I may have over-indulged with the cheese but baked camembert is soooooo goooood! And as vigorous as my morning's workout was today, it won't save me from tomorrow's weigh in (just saying).
Nevertheless I have put the tree up. I have trimmed it and I now just need its branches to settle before I dress it properly tomorrow.
Oh, and I have ordered a stationery exercise bike - it's coming on Tuesday - Christmas present from Ben! I hope that it will help me up my Cardio output as well as improve my step count. Liselyn (@jugar) often mentions getting on her exercise bike while watching a TV show and it would make really good use of the time I spend watching the box - thank you, Liselyn.
Back tomorrow with my weigh in.4 -
Happy Saturday night -
This is probably the most challenging time of year for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere. It is dark. It is cold. There are holidays and celebrations galore. Our bodies want to settle into winter.
It will change soon! The solstice is in a few days, and then it will start to get lighter. Slowly then fast. We will all click onto that energy and things will get better. Stick around!
Then there is also the aging body. We need different things and amounts as we age. And the different activity levels have a bigger impact. And letting go is hard. But if the changes happen, we feel pretty danged good. Stick around!
In other words, don't panic. We've got this - as long as we don't give up.
@bowens1973 yeah, it is hard to get through this time. You have lost almost 75 pounds and @ashleycarole86 118! You both blow us all away - amazing hard work. A small setback during a time of big change happes. Stick around!
I am at my highest weight in the past few years, but I know I'll pull it together. I have not stopped working out, but have to rein in the intake again soon. I know what to do, as we all do. Aim for the good old veg, fibre, and smaller total quantity. Fill up those spaces with something else. Tell us what works, what is a disaster, what looks hopeful. If you find some good tools to work with, share! We all need the help.
@YinxFed and her new stationary bike. @ashleycarole86 and her Peloton and second walk. @CaroleAnnM2 and her new hips! Let's find our new as the solstice approaches. The longest night isn't the end. Hugs to you all!!!6 -

Always good to come here and remember that a small slide is not a retraction of all progress! So logical when it's said out loud, but the brain tries to tell you otherwise!
12/17 exercise:
5813 steps + 42 minutes Peloton
Chose a tough Peloton class too - felt good about that!
Food had good elements and not so good elements.
It's snowy and cold here, way too cold for my little dog to go out for her walks (-23C /-35C with the windchill). I got all my steps indoors yesterday cleaning. We'll see what I get up to today!5 -

@jugar I jogged 1x this week at OTF
Not many steps this week, was sick on one day I was supposed to go to the gym and then work dinner on the other day.
I made bacon this morning and when I opened the oven, the steam hit my face and omg that was hot! I think it's a sign I shouldn't be making/eating bacon 😂5 -

And it's up! Isn't it beautiful?
I always forget how long it takes to dress Christmas trees!
Time to put supper on.

Gorgeous @YinxFed .. thanks for sharing. What's your post-decorating meal of choice tonight?
Can't believe the big day is only one week away now!!2 -
PW: 167.4
CW: 167.3
I was around 165ish half of this week but it seems like the less carbs I eat the more the Rash and other symptoms, the more carbs, mostly gone. Getting tested in January so for now, gotta figure out a middle ground.
Congrats @micki48, I know it feels good.
Bowens1973 I feel your pain. Im there as well.5 -
Thanks @ashleycarole86 . I cooked keema pie for supper, from the Pinch of Nom cookbook. It's an Indian-inspired cottage pie. And it was yummy!5

Good evening Waistaways 😊
PW 225 lbs
CW 223.8 lbs
I'm hoping it will be a loss next week too.... Who am I kidding! Wish me luck every one 😂🍀
Have a great Monday 🌹❤️7 -
Sunday is almost over! We had a busy day - but really nice. I walked with mom this morning - twice around the perimeter of the entire place where she lives - we were talking away, so the distance was easy, and at 92 my mom kept up a great pace!
I played for a meditation session and a simple gathering this afternoon, and it was lovely to meet and spend time with my mom's friends. There are some pretty amazing people here. One woman has just about everything Shakespeare ever wrote down by heart, and a man told a story that was almost identical to something that happened to my daughter - it was a good day.
Monday's coming right up! How does that happen... Ready to go?

Our Monday crowd has been impressive lately - thanks for the inspiration!4 -

I forgot my steps for the 2nd week of December. So this month might end up looking a bit odd..
Sun: 10764

Thurs: 10337

Not liking the weight slide. I have been tracking 20% of the time. This week should be easier, my son being with his dad. It's weird how a doctor visit, an evening getting the xmas tree and going to my storage unit to hunt down decorations sucks up my precious "free time."
Got some pre-planned salad meals for this week.
