Well, good morning, team and Happy New Year! 🥳🥳🥳
I hope this morning finds you all well and rested for the new year. I, for one, am happy to see 2022 behind me and looking forward to a great 2023. We are recovering from our COVID 19 Christmas visit. Not really a big deal, getting better every day.
Like many of you, I’ll be spending the day getting my 2023 goals together. Hope all of you have a happy day and look forward to working together with you this coming year!

Happy New Year's
Hope 2023 is our best year yet...time to make sure I get my daily steps in. I have been slacking a bit!!!2 -
1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc.
My name is Tess and I am 35, married with 2 kids (5) and (3). We also have two cats, Chewbacca and Blitz. I am from Lethbridge, Alberta. Before moving here I was in Penticton, British Columbia. I love to crochet and make TikToks.
2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start?
I honestly have been on this journey for years. It started shortly after I got married in 2014. I hated how I looked in my wedding photos. From there it was to get the baby weight off from having my kids. I think right now I just want to be healthy. My goal has always been to be in the 180lb-200lb range. I’ve been slightly under 200lbs twice.
3. What are your triggers and how can you avoid them?
My triggers are probably eating out with family. I can avoid that by making better food choices or eating ahead of time. Chocolate is a big trigger especially when I’m down or depressed. It’s probably best for me to keep chocolate out of the house, as it is hard to portion it sometimes.
4. Do you have a favourite diet you go by? ie keto, low carb
I count count calories, look at my protein intake and portion control. Moderation.
5. What is your favourite way to workout?
Running. I started in 2021 and haven’t stopped since.
6. What are some of your goals this month? Year?
Log food daily, run 3 times a week, drink 9-10 cups of water a day
7. What do you expect to gain from the team? Do you have any suggestions?
Encouragement and support
8. Share some words of wisdom with your teammates.
We are in this together. Don’t be afraid if you mess up. Post and share as you aren’t alone. We are here for each other.

Hi all. Happy new year.
Check in:
Steps - 7160
Calories - 2380. Nice number. Now to keep it going.
Exercise - gym in morning. 9 machines and 25 minutes treadmill.
This year is starting out badly. We got a water leak from the apartment upstairs and the office wasn't open and didn't answer our calls to the emergency number. Can't use our bed anymore. Tomorrow I get to deal with the rental office and hope they don't kick us out saying uninhabitable. I also get to call my Insurance to work on my renter's policy to get a new bed. Super stress.1 -
A hearty welcome to all the new people.0
