Seeing everyone's great results from the week has been very motivating. I renewed my gym membership today since cancelling at the start of the pandemic. Highlight of my day was slicing open a nice papaya. I'm terrible at picking good fruit but lucked out. Have a great week everyone.
I have a gym membership that I need to use more often. Does anyone else struggle with paying for a gym membership and going or using it?
Is there a challenge we can do for going to the gym?
I think having a plan of attack helps. I'm currently looking for a good functional fitness/strength program and looking at some reviews online. Reco's welcome. Looks like my gym has a new app with videos and workout plans so I'm not so lost, plus it tells me how busy the gym is.
A gym buddy is always good too.
I know there's a habit tracker worksheet you could use to track your gym.5 -

In the spirit of making time for myself and getting steps in, I decided to walk to my son’s track meet instead of driving. I normally would never walk bc busy busy busy but I figured…why not? I did a decent pace and had plenty of time to relax mentally.7

@looneycatblue We've already published it for the week. I can report it to the MODS and see if they want to update after the fact. I'll let you know.

I’m way behind catching up on the posts. It’s been crazy ever since I came back to Houston and I’m leaving tomorrow for my daughters graduation on Friday. I’m traveling with my parents because my mom is having walking issues… long story…

I’ve been using FitBod for a year and a half or so. You set your preferences and available equipment and it generates a workout for you based on muscle recovery and goals. My husband has started using it to. It’s not free but good. https://fitbod.app.link/0ctiBPIrsyb

Happy Wednesday all. I had an early morning HITT workout and boy I'm still sweating as I type this. My plan is to keep on track today and tomorrow since we have an outing with some close friends of our tomorrow night, which typically involves lots of food and lots of drinks.
How do I limit my drink intake without them knowing? That is the big question.
Meanwhile, here is Miss Luna relaxing on the balcony.

Good Morning Shape Shifters!
Today is "hair" day! I"m getting my "glitter" covertly covered today and a trim. I'm going lighter due to summer is right around the corner and we are outside a lot, so my hair will lighten up anyways, so I may as well embrace it.
Steps for May 9= 10,532
I have been getting a lot of steps in lately and my platers fasciitis is killing me. It's a double edge sword, lose weight to help with foot/leg pain. But to lose weight you need to be more active, which adds to foot/leg pain....
Have a great "hump" day everyone!7 -
We moved Jason out of dorm yesterday. We plan to continue to work from here for the rest of the week and make the drive back home on Saturday. He spent last night hopping around the house on his good leg not using his crutches. I got a big eye roll when I commented that he should at least use one crutch since he still can't put weight on the bad ankle, I'm waiting for him to miss and fall down (or hop on a grass burr since we have an endless supply of them.)
@Pupowl - love the pictures from your walk
@CassandraW - looks like you had fun on your vacation and I loved the flower pictures.
@SavageMrsMoose - safe travels
@dcresider - Just space them out, maybe have a non-alcoholic drink in between and if someone says something tell them the truth, you are working on loosing weight. Cute picture of Miss Luna

@Zaxa2021 -- Woot! Get it, that's a great weight loss this week!
@JenHul -- I don't know what glitter hair is, but man I want it. :-P !!! I have a mixture of bad dye job and grey atm. Have a fun hair day!
@Pupowl - My husband has to put up with me selling him on a Sony brand DSLR now ;-P I like to take photos too. Wonderful camera. Hubby, "you have a cell phone!" ;-P Duly added to Amazon wish list.
@dcresider -- In high school / college, me and my bestie would get a bottle of beer and fill it with water, and any other drink, dump it, put water in it. ;-P That's old school early 90's strat, lol. Kitty Miss Luna is one serious supervisor!
Here is my geriatric cat Poutou, we adopted him over ten years ago. He's not down with weight loss.
Have a fantastic Wednesday everyone - let's go!
