@micki48 That sounds like some intense times for you right now. But movement is happening - the quiet times will resume before too long, I hope! Cars, though... ugh. Hugs to you!
Today was a nice day - took dad out to a Korean restaurant for lunch, and then picked up my repaired piccolo from the magician who works on my instruments. I have never seen this piccolo look so good, or play so well. It is 76 years old, and has the sweetest sound that such an evil instrument can possibly have! Then I took a good long walk, and will be heading home sometime tomorrow. Dad's doing much better today, understanding and speaking way better - of course, it is because of our exercise sessions, amiright??

Happy sunny Monday!
Wow, I realized that I’ve got it in for my “tomorrow selves”. I’ve been on a wicked tear of ice cream eating and low desire to do anything physical at home. Seems to be resentment-building combined with a fencing match!
I’ll be in the car today with my younger daughter, picking up a standing desk in Exeter, NH. It’s at her aunt’s place (approx 2.5 hrs one way). Zzzzz.
Wish it was the *other* aunt, @jugar!
Have a good day, everyone.

Hi guys, I'm back, the Bahamas was beautiful, unfortunately I was sick the last half of the cruise, sinus pressure and a very deep cough, so I kept it low key and stayed away from people. I of course am feeling much better now that I am back at work.... Told my boss I'm going to need a do-over vacation... I don't think he liked my idea as much as I did...
Anyway, I of course ate terribly, so I am going to have a gain, but I am back on the wagon today, and strapping myself in...

S.M.A.R.T. Goal - 2.8 down 2.2 to go ✔️7 -
I made it back home! Not as dramatic a return as you had @Gidgitgoescrzy - poor you! Getting sick on vacation and then feeling better when back at work is seriously upside-down. Tell your boss to get with the program and go along with your idea
Today was a terrible eating day (the usual mess I get myself into during a several hours-long drive...), but there is nothing bad to eat in the house starting in the morning, and I will work hard to keep it that way. Tomorrow self is going to be mad at today self, but we'll make it up by Wednesday, I hope.
Tomorrow is going to be a "one perfect day". Good food, good exercise, good outdoors, good headspace, making some music, talking with people I love. All the good things. Hope you all have one too!

Sorry late posting, first day of spring break was a busy one.3 -
Happy Tuesday all! Sorry I didn't get a chance to weigh in yesterday. I honestly debated about skipping this week because TOM started an entire week early and I'm feeling pretty blah ....but here it is anyways.
PW: 147
CW: 146 (maybe my run helped?)
Activity for last week:
Monday: 9245 steps (incl. 1.38 mi easy run) + 32:45mins lifting
Tuesday: 7325 steps
Wednesday: 7823 steps (I was stuck at a health far booth)
Thursday: 11423 steps (incl. 1.6 mi hill run) + 35:42mins lifting
Friday: 16635 steps (incl. 5mi long run)
Saturday: 3332 steps + 1hr yoga
Sunday: 3066 steps
And I FINALLY bit the bullet last night and ordered new running shoes. Mine are at least 7-8 years old and have probably close to 3000miles on them. I can't wait to feel the difference they make!

@MoonlitMuse new shoes will make you feel like you're floating! Especially after 3000 miles in the old ones. I love that new shoe feeling.

Hi WA's ...You have a new member joining you for April ...Please welcome @Natroushka0

Broke student mentality just got the best of me. I'm at ikea and when you spend over $150 in home furnishings, your meal in the restaurant is free, up to $75.... So 'broke student' me of COURSE had to get the most value I could and order way more food than I needed to be satisfied.
I haven't been a broke student for nearly 20 years but I still fall into that trap of trying to get the most free food possible whenever it's possible.
I'll be cursing yesterday me for the rest of the week.
It was delicious though. Every. Single. Bite.
Sigh.... When will I learn?4 -
@Natroushka welcome! Come on in and introduce yourself, let us know a bit about you, how you got here, and what we can do to help! We're a friendly bunch, and I hope you feel at home here with us.2

Welcome @Natroushka - look forward to getting to know you!1

@PlaneMonkey I am the same way with free food! I have been trying to stay away from our break room, so I don't see it and it doesn't tempt me.
I have had 3 perfect days now...hope it offsets some of what I ate 🤷🏼♀️4 -
Tomorrow I am off to Cancun for a short break. It’s been a horrific week so far so I’m hoping for some R & R and some good food and company.
@jugar please excuse me for this week and next week from weighing in. I’m going to enjoy my break without thinking about anything other than what’s in front of me, whatever that may be.2 -

You just go and have a lovely time. Rest, enjoy, and come back with a big smile3 -
I hope everyone has had a peaceful and satisfying Tuesday - or that you have made it through in spite of everything. I had a good quiet one, a sane eating and exercise day, but also some rest. Tomorrow I'll aim for a bit more action. I'm aiming to catch up with your 3 perfect day streak @lauren_989 - fantastic!
Wednesday weigh-ins - line up and be ready to go:

Well, the scale didn't move much, but I don't mind being at this weight (but if I lose 5 more lbs I wouldn't be sad about that either! LOL). So I had 2 NSV's this week. 1) I had bought 3 pairs of jean shorts last summer to wear on vacation and when I tried them on a few days ago, they were huge! 2) As a part of the wellness program for the company that I work for, they did a 4 week steps challenge to try to encourage people to get at least 10,000 steps/day. I ended the challenge with 436,392 steps in 28 days which averaged out to 15,585 steps/day, I got 4th place, and I won a $50 Amazon gift card!
