Steps
@ashleycarole86 here are my steps
A gain this week, but I'm ok with it as I have made some positive changes. I tracked my food for some of the week, but I need to get better. I did meal prep though so I'm pleased with that. I just need to say no to the additional snacks. I have been trying out intermittent fasting, and I am enjoying it so far. I do need to play around with the timings though to find what works. I am happy with my steps this week, and I did additional exercise (21DF/C25K) 6/7 days. I also met my water goal for the week which was 1l.
This week I want to continue with week 3 of 21DF, increase my water intake to 2l, and log everything I eat.
@jugar @EvMakesChanges I am so sorry to hear about your brother. Thinking of you and your family.
@DianaGetsFit512 Can I be your partner for the step challenge?
Good luck this week everyone!

Starting super fresh here
I don't even remember previous weight.
Current weight: 132.4
I missed last week's weigh in. I apologize for that. Hopefully, I'm getting things in a better place. I know I've been super sporadic with posting, but I feel like I'm in a better place now, or at least on a better track.
My kitchen has been torn apart for months. The microwave died a while back. Then, we heard noises in the attic. We were sure it was squirrels, so we called a wildlife exterminator. They trap and release. Turns out, it was roof rats. They don't do rats. You have to have an exterminating (like bugs) people for that. $1300 to Terminix to get rid of them turned into a 6 month fight. Not only would they not come out and do the regular service as contracted, it was a fight to get my money back.
I finally got my money back. Rat problem is "fixed." (Not by Terminix). New appliances delivered yesterday. Kitchen is put back together.
We've been eating out forever, or it feels like it anyway. Not the best choices. I am limited anyway with a gluten free diet.
The new stove is also an air fryer, so I'm thrilled about that! I can have a cook day again now that I have a microwave to reheat.
So, again, my apologies for being a spaz, but this has been been a battle in more ways than one.
Oh! And work has been crazy. One person on LOA and another quit. I'm a floater, so I cover when people are out. I've been in two stores for about a month now.
I'll post steps next week. I wore a dead Fitbit all day yesterday. Full charge now....

Hey gang - back again!
So this weekend is Coronation weekend, and communities up and down the country are putting on parties and events to celebrate King Charles III's coronation; including my little town of Bewdley. The whole town is putting on a range of family events in celebration this weekend.
My choir was invited to perform. One of my friends came to support me and she took this snap of us.
We had a lot of fun - all the more so because the sun came out.
Back later with more stuff.

Great job on Week 1, everyone! We did well with good steady steps. Keep those going!
I did a good job on my first day back to step tracking. I took a good long walk and it was windy enough to keep the black flies from being pests. When I got back to the house, there was a pileated woodpecker hanging around - I always love it when those great but shy birds allow themselves to be seen and not just heard. They are pretty spectacular.
I also did a good kettlebell workout today. I'm keeping in mind that exercise in times of hard emotional times is the best remedy. I have seen it called "mental floss" recently, and that is a good catchy term that will get me going when needed. It isn't just about physical health, and that is good to remember.
Keep well!4 -

The last 24 hours have been the strangest in my life. I suppose losing a sibling does that to everyone. I’m sure I can speak for the two of us remaining (@jugar) that your kind thoughts and prayers are much appreciated. Although he and I weren’t as close as our amazing sister (@jugar), it’s still unsettling to be left so suddenly.
I ate small amounts of comfort food today but managed to have reasonable quantities. I baked sweet potatoes but will probably save one for tomorrow, since they don’t go particularly well with homemade spinach-pita-pizzas!
We’ve had a nice time outside feeding a small bonfire while we ate. My OH and younger daughter were here to keep me company, which was lovely. Oh, for desert I made a quick version of banana cream pie complete with a layer of powdered peanuts, cocoa powder, and fresh banana slices. I know - gagging coming from the house of my sister! She’s always hated bananas! Tbh, I’ve never made one before. I wonder if it was a tribute to our brother? Perhaps.
Time to go in. It’s about to rain according to my Apple Watch.
Be well.
More soon.6 -
