Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday was still a bad weather day. Super windy, some hail, lots of rain, tiny bit of sun. It was giving me whiplash. I did some laundry and ate too much. I was feeling uncomfortably full in the evening, but I did not want to make the bad day even worse by skipping my workout. I found a new YTchannel a while back called Improved Health. She does walk at home, full body workouts, and dances. It is a bit similar to Dance with Deepti I am already familiar with, but it seemed a bit easier to follow. So I decided to give one a try since I wasn't feeling good. I really enjoyed the workout, as much as I can enjoy one since I hate sweating. But the structure of the workout was really nice, there are timers for each steps, there is an overall progress bar for the whole workout and there was a nice variety of movements. Compared to DwD, the steps were a little more chill, but I still got my heartrate up. I also didn't need to modify anything which felt good. DwD sometimes has jumping which I am just refusing with my current boobsize, ouch! I did this workout for anyone interested: https://youtu.be/uy-dAphXVng Happy Monday everyone

@Bumbinella
Thank you! I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I think our teammate @alleykat69 meant to post this here, but it was in the Group Challenge. Here's her stats! Nice loss!

Went out of town this weekend and had too much alcohol. I still made time to exercise and to do my stair master challenge. I created a template if anyone wants to use it let me know

Hi everyone! Rough week this week. I’ve had a major sweet tooth and haven’t been eatting on plan, but I’ve been exercising still so at least no gain. Hope everyone has a great week!

Good morning everyone!

Heading back to Colorado today. At the airport now and so far everything is going smoothly. Thursday we head out to Bloomington to visit our son after dropping off the dogs with our daughter. We will meet with the vets on Wednesday to decide if we are going to proceed with Buddy’s surgery. So I’ll be away from home at least until next Thursday. It’s not the easiest for sticking to calories, but honestly I’m feeling pretty motivated after my race this weekend that I’m hoping I’ll stay pretty close.

@Armygirlarmyof1 thinking of you. Necessary but not fun. Best part is when it’s over!!!

We spent the weekend in west Texas. Did a lot of work at the ranch. We had an issue with the tractor not wanting to start, but after we charged the battery, we were able to shred the roads and do a bit of clean up. Jason is enjoying his classes this semester, I think his favorite is going to be History of Rock and Roll.

@JenHul - Sending you hugs.

@Armygirlarmyof1 - the prep is the hardest part. Wishing you a positive result.

@SavageMrsMoose - awesome job on the race.

Steppers, post your steps from week 2 please! Thanks!

I wasn't sure if you needed me to weigh in, you said you would let the mod know and you give them some time and I didn't see amything from you if I was good to go or not! Do you want me to weigh in for this week?

@TexanMom8152 , ty. I had to move it up 1 week. Sinus issues for 3 days.

I haven’t had a chance to add as much support and encouragement as I would have liked this week. My apologies!

@TexanMom8152 - It sounds as though you worked hard on the ranch in west Texas. I’m guessing that burns some serious calories. You’re resourceful, too, in solving problems and changing batteries, etc. — rock on!

@JenHul - How tragic! I’m so sorry to hear the news about all the grief and loss you’ve been experiencing. I appreciate your reminder to make the best of each day. I was feeling a little sorry for myself because of some difficult family circumstances today and your comment helped me gain perspective.

@ewilhelm2487 - I’m glad you’re feeling better. You had quite the ordeal, with that tough series of health concerns. Welcome back!

@Armygirlarmyof1 - The extra days focusing on a low-fiber diet will probably be helpful. My second screening was so much better than my first one because I didn’t realize I should start the clear liquid diet and other preparation a week before the procedure. The first time, I just started the diet changes the day before the colonoscopy, and had an afternoon appointment. Now, I prefer a morning procedure and start drinking clear liquids and eating low-fiber foods much earlier. It’s the deepest rest I ever get though! 😴

Congratulations to you and your daughter @SavageMrsMoose on completing the half marathon. What an achievement!

I see a lot of other success — getting through a tough day or week, disruption to usual schedules due to travel, etc.! Hurray for overcoming obstacles and sticking with it despite challenges.

Great work, steppers! The Shape Shifter team members are always inspiring.

🗓 Daily Check-in: 17 Jan

Under by around 100 calories today. I feel like I’m getting a cold, and I am hoping it doesn’t turn into a sinus infection again, as my last one was awful. I’ve been getting a bit more steps in recently (not a lot, but it’s something ). I recently found out that i “likely” have PCOS, and will find out for sure soon, but that’s one more reason to lose this excess weight!
