My cold/flu/allergy whatever I had for the last 2 weeks, is clearing out during daytime, so I’m waiting for the night coughing to go away and catch a normal sleep (preM type of normal, but let’s not be picky now).
Boring intro- Gabi, 51yo, married half of that, 2 kids, desk job somewhere in Northern Virginia, in this group for 1.5y, and love it.
Sporadic sharer of unrelated topics, see samples below 😂.

A neighbor is out of town for the week and I’m watching her dog- big, pretty and a very fast walker. Like really fast, and likes to tug a little. 4 days of 1h+ long walks, and I like power walking, who knew? Not sure if I can do this long term on my own (especially not in this summers) but it’s an idea worth exploring.

In life things can’t be all good and I got my dose of kick in the pants yesterday with a big car scare, a mechanic bill and complete lack of sleep last night. It could have been so much worse and I’m really glad it’s over and can now move forward.

Welcome new teammates, good luck and make this year the best ever!

Woot still below 140. It's been raining and it's too muddy to do yard work. I'm still averaging a few more steps and eating radishes when I get hungry before it's time to eat. I went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned today. I need to start packing up our tree, it's time.
I'm inspired by so many of you.

@megnolia Great job on the exercises! I like that it's easy to remember as it's the date too.

@micaroo4 I hope you were able to get to the store before the snow. Hope you had a great workout!

@davidji82 Happy New Year!

@Cornanda I don't think I've done C Dorner workouts before, I'll check out the channel. I don't have a step but used to do all the walking ones.

@trooworld Happy Friday! You did great this week, way to go! I hope the cheese and crackers don't effect it. As for my weekend Bill and I will take the cats to Petco for nail trimmings (Jasper doesn't need it but since he has behavioral issues from being away from Asher I have to take him too). A friend just saw the new Whitney Houston movie and I have a gift card to the movies so I may take Bill. Aside of those things nothing is really planned.

@GabiV125 I'm glad you're feeling better! The dog you're watching sounds like a hardcore walker, hope you can keep up! I'm sorry to hear about the car scare.

@FtoFit Happy New Year! I'm glad you aren't looking at it like you can only start on January 1, I agree each day is a new beginning. It sounds like you keep trying which isn't easy.

@FushiaKat Woohoo, And lower than before, I'm so happy for you!

@happysquidmuffin I'm glad you still got your workout done and closed your rings, way to go! So is a perfect move achievement getting all your rings each day? I hope you're able to get it!

@AmbersWay Sounds like you did great at the potluck, I'm glad you had fun!

Hi everyone! I started about 10 flats of seeds this morning (28 cells and 72) so the food bank farm has seedlings on the way! I got the Valentine boxes dropped off too. I worked in the yard for a bit pulling up dead plants and saving seeds and finished work for the day so now I'm just waiting for Bill to get here. I really need a nap, I caught the nightmare bug last night and slept bad and had an awful dream. I'm going to start doing a new recipe per week with a friend and have to think about what I'm going to make. Have a great weekend team!

No Zero Days- Food bank farm 4 hours and gardening for about 2 and food is exactly where it should be

Hey y'all!

I took some daytime cold/flu medicine today and felt alright for awhile. Now, my throat is on fire again so, I'm going to lay back down here in a few. I put my fitbit back on and my hope is tomorrow I will feel good enough to start getting some steps in. Getting sick is a huge set back because I was just finally getting my butt back on track. Ok, I'll see what tomorrow brings.

I got to the store and back before the snow. When I got home I realized that I needed a couple more things, so I ran back out again; this time it was snowing. The snow was falling but not sticking on the roads, so travel was fine. After that adventure, I was home for the rest of the day.

I got a lot done staying home all day. Did all the house cleaning, cooked meals to freeze for lunches next week (pork loin & sweet potato), made a crock pot full of bean soup, wrote a letter I'd been meaning to write since December, filed a bunch of paperwork, listened to a podcast, pedaled my stationary bike, and crocheted some more on the afghan that I'm working on. The snow has stopped, so I guess I will be doing some shoveling when the sun rises. It's going to be a cloudy day today, but there should be some sun on Sunday.

Today I was considering going to the office and working on the payroll tax returns. I still may decide to do that, but I'm not feeling very enthusiastic about it. I think I might wait and see if I can get it done in my regular office hours next week. There's still plenty of time, and there's always next Saturday if I feel like it can only be done when no one is there to interrupt me.

@GabiV125 Congrats on the loss! I'm glad you are starting to feel better. What a great way to find out you like power walking! LOL Way to go!

@ftofit Way to go on the loss! I'm glad you already have incorporated no zero days into your life.

@FushiaKat Wow, awesome weigh-in! Congrats on increasing your steps and eating something healthy as a snack, too!

@davors19 Congrats on the loss!

@AmbersWay Way to go on the no zero days wins! That step count is impressive. How nice to be surprised by your friends that you hadn't seen, that must have been a great feeling!

@Katmary71 Thanks! No, I already weighed in for the week and they didn't affect my weigh-in (thankfully). Good luck with the nail trimmings, I hope it goes okay. Enjoy the movie and time with Bill! You sound like you had a very productive Friday. A new recipe a week sounds fun.

@DrewsAnna I hate when I'm on a roll and I get sick and it wrecks everything! I hope you feel better soon.

@micaroo4 Congrats on the loss! Wow, what a productive day!

@askewcr Congrats on the loss, way to go!

Hi all. I had a great day yesterday: I DID A WEIGHT-LIFTING SESSION! I did it on my 30-min lunch so it wasn't that long but it's a start. I'm hoping to do another session today but we'll see, I've got a lot to do today (organizing my mountain of craft supplies, cooking, errands etc).

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: I did a strength-training workout, I drank 85 oz of water, and all 3 meals were healthy.

@shaunarlr83 It really depends. My sleep kinda eats into my days off. I'll come off shift at 6am and I have to sleep at least 6 hours so I can be human. I might be awake by 2pm. My husband works mainly a day schedule so he's ready to go to bed at like 10pm. I'm usually exhausted so I go with him. I wouldn't be able to get anything done in the house bc he's asleep. Stores don't stay open all night anymore so can't run errands.

I also don't live in an urban area so it'd probably be different if I did. When my husband worked nights, we'd both stay up and clean house, do laundry, etc.

Good evening!

Jan 7th 7 reps of squats, push-ups, crunches. I need to do this in the mornings so I don’t keep trying to put it in at midnight. But I did it which is the important thing.

Eating not super today as it was my daughter’s birthday so we did some special treats, cheese and crackers, chocolate covered almonds etc. But it was a pretty nice day for her.

Weigh in tomorrow! I’ve been under my goal for the past 4 days but we will see if I wrecked that today.

Sleep tight!

@gemwolf110 Congrats on the loss!

@bethanie0825 Thank you! I hope it's not too hard to adjust to your new hours. Great wins!

@AmbersWay Congrats on the loss, WTG!

@AmbersWay Thank you! Good job moving and sticking with your regular meal plans! That's a great NSV, avoiding unhealthy carbs for 2 weeks and feeling better. Yum, I like egg drop soup!

@19shmoo69 Congrats on the loss, Darren! How's the new grandbaby?

@laurelfit57 Congrats on the loss, woo hoo! Good luck with Vannie today at the match!

Hi all. I didn't eat well yesterday, it was kind of a sh** show but I did do intentional movement, so that was good. It felt really good to stretch as I was sore from weight training the day before. It was just what I needed.

MY NO-ZERO DAY WIN FROM YESTERDAY: I did a stretching recovery workout, I drank 50 oz of water, and went for a walk with my husband.

Doing my best to get in my workouts. Strength-training workout this morning while my boyfriend was in the shower, and just finished a brisk walk while he lounges on the couch, surfing movies. He's having a Day of the Slug. I feel very restless and want to be outdoors in the sunshine, even though it's cold.
