Gm yall. The heat and humidity is back here in my little corner of the world. I leave Thursday for Cape to celebrate my birthday weekend with my love, Anthony. My 54th birthday is Saturday. I'm not really sure what he's got planned. Ik we were talking IHOP to celebrate but I've got no clue. He's been evasive. Ik we plan on doing a lot of steps over the weekend. We did a lot a few weeks ago. We put an application in for a rental there but haven't heard anything back yet.4

Just wanted to share a photo of the new stray cats that have been coming up to eat. They look in good shape, do you think someone lost them? I don't see a collar but they're not overly friendly...
J/K - this is the mother raccoon and her babies stealing cat food. First time I've seen her with babies this year. She'll vanish in the fall for the year until next summer. She raises her babies in the woodpile next door.
This is the other two babies we have this year. They're standing under the apple tree. Or the big snack tree as I'm sure they see it
We have wildfire weather today in Oregon which is scary, the sun turns blood red and casts an apocalyptic light. It's tip top fishing season also so the whole coast is packed. I'm staying home!
Big shout out to the mods who do so much work to keep things chugging in the group. THANK YOU!

Thank you all for the support after my last post, it really is appreciated. I'm feeling a bit better physically. I'm not too sure what brought on that bought of fatigue and depression, but I'm really grateful it didn't last too long this time. I'm planning to get back to the gym this week and get back to working towards my goals5 -

Have to drop out. Devastating coinciding occurrences have overwhelmed me and upended my life. Cat (18 years) passed away and I am being displaced from my home of almost 40 years. I just turned 65 and there's...I don't know. I just know I have to concentrate all my energy on surviving and finding another place to live that I can afford. Best to all and I hope to have the chance to rejoin someday!💗 Carole10

@Walela617
So sorry to hear that. I was hoping nothing was wrong since I noticed your absence. What a terrible spot to be in. I really hope you can figure something out quickly about your housing situation. We will still be here when you are ready and able to join us again. Take care!4 -

@Walela617 Im so sorry you’re going through all this. Losing your fur baby and I’m sure—your comforter is so hard, especially when you’re going through this housing issue. Sending prayers for you Carol.

@Cyncia85 I switched to a sedentary job three years ago and two of those years I was completing my masters, so I know all about not having time to move around. This year though, since May I have put my activity as a priority. I wake up earlier and I go for a walk before work and try to get at least 4 to 5000 steps before I work. Then I eat (pre-packed) lunch at my desk, but I use my break to go get at least a 30 minute walk. I wear dress clothes so I keep gym shoes in my office now. And in the evenings, or right after work, whichever one works, I walk again.
It takes planning and commitment, but now it’s become my routine and it feels good mentally too. I shared an article a couple weeks ago that said a 15 minute nature walk reduces brain fatigue and I have definitely noticed that benefit when I’m working at my desk and feeling drained.
Hope that helps!
@sbus12 thank you and congrats to you on completing your masters! The biggest challenge for me is waking up earlier. I would love to get up early enough for a workout.
I work from home 3 days a week. The days I am in the office, I try to go for a walk like you suggested. Other times I run an errand during lunch or read.3 -
@jessicakral lol I like that - ONDERLAND!!!
@Sbus12 While your body is feeling it, it sounds like you had a blast last week. Those memories for you and your kids are priceless
@Armygirlarmyof1 Happy Birthday!!!
@Walela617 Big hugs to you during this challenging time.5 -
Awesome job team on the week 3 numbers!!!

Sunday 8/20 Weigh In

PW = 211.8
CW = 211.2
I'm pretty surprised by this 0.6 lb loss considering the past week has included some stress eating, not alot of water, and lots of rest for my injured foot (ie not very active).6
