I’ve had an off the scale victory today… bought some jeans in November online. Tried them on an couldn’t get them past my hips. Thought I’d give them a go today and see if I was any closer to getting them on. Got them on with buttons and zip done up! I don’t feel any slimmer so it’s definitely motivating to see a result like that 🤸♀️💪❤️8

Sunday, the 5th
Logged: Yes
Under: Yes
Water: 8 cups (could be better)
Exercise: Yes, a 37 minute walk (318 calories)
Steps: 12,050
Monday, the 6th
Logged: Yes
Under: Yes
Water: 10 cups
Exercise: Yes, a 33 minute walk in the snow while my husband was curling (321 calories). It would have been really pretty were it December, and not March!
Steps: 14, 519
I went to work and did some filing, so that always gives me steps.
Today is errand day, so hopefully I will keep busy and not spend too much time plunked down at my computer, which ALWAYS becomes my downfall!
Do you curl as well? I am kicking myself for not getting brier tickets to see Gushue play. I bet curling burns lots of calories. One thing I have beef doing to try and limit my iPad time is to set a timer and stick to it.
I curled for maybe three years, and I really enjoyed the game. Then Covid hit, so there was no 2020/2021 season. I also hurt my knee in November 2020, when I had been having a great year since April, getting back in shape. I was down about 24 pounds at that point and being very active. 2021 and 2022 I went downhill mentally, and as a result, downhill physically. Now I am just too fat and out of shape to curl. Disclaimer: I cannot bend in the hack without it hurting me knee, but I could curl with a stick. However, I feel like I am too young to do that when my only disability is lack of discipline. If I lost weight and did strength training, I would be able to curl normally!
Speaking of Gushue, we were flying from St. John's to Toronto in 2018 and three of his team members were also on the plane! (Himself, Mark and Brett). They obviously sat in the big seats near the front of the plane, so they boarded first and then we had to walk right by them to get to our seats. They were flying to China for a bonspiel. And yes, if you sweep with intent, curling does burn a lot of calories!
I haven’t curled since the 80’s when I was in the military. I was young and tiny. I really enjoyed it but couldn’t say I was a great curler. I wish I would run into him on one of my flights to St. John’s. I had a lovely chat with Alan Doyle one year so does that count.

Steps: 4,663
Sleep: ✔️✔️❌
Log food: ✔️✔️✔️
Exercise:✔️
Not sure what I am going to do today but I will get at least 15 minutes of exercise. I can’t remember if I mentioned this already but I booked a 3 night trip to Vegas for the end of May. I need to be able to walk longer stretches by then. I hate, hate, hate using the walker but I need to practice. Once the weather is warmer my friend is going to kick my butt and make me go for walks with her. Last night was a terrible night for eating. Poor sleep = poor eating.
