Congrats on the losses everyone! It is inspirational, especially when I'm feeling a bit low about my own. Gives me motivation. This weekend includes a bonfire, haunted houses, and some downtime. My HelloFresh meals have been tasty! And keeping me free eating out like I wanted. I got a walk in yesterday evening with a friend which felt good. I also have a kickboxing class Monday I'm looking forward to!
@Megan_smartiepants1970, I'm sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope you get back to where you want to be soon.
@NachDeezy, you're inspiring others! Thank you for being so motivating.
@lindamtuck2018, I really enjoy spicy Lays and pickles lol. I know not the most conventional combo and typically leads to a stomach ache, but it is delicious to me!2 -

@RoblinB ~ thanks. I was low on my steps yesterday as it rained and I couldn't get outside for my additional walk. I'm going to have to come up with a plan B for winter so I can maintain those numbers!
@heretochange88 ~ What an awesome drop this week. Keep it up! The inches have to be melting away as well
@nachdeezy ~ You are killing it!! The NSV are the best though...lets see what others you can find! And you've practically hit your Christmas goal!! Congrats to you!!!
@Megan_smartiepants1970 ~ Sorry your ankle isn't healing properly but I think it's best to enduring the discomfort for a few weeks so that you can hit the ground running!
@lindamtuck2018 ~ I do wear both an Apple Watch and the Fitbit. I started my tracking journey a long time ago with this device called a Sportsbrain. I eventually moved to fitbit and have probably had 1 of each model as it progressed!! When the Apple watch came along (I'm a techie) had to have it...but primarly used it for notifications, messages, calendar etc and didn't really focus on the health side of things until now.
Friday Fun Question: You brought back a memory: I haven't done this in a long time but Jay's use to make an onion and garlic potato chip, I would mix those with a bag of Oke Doke Cheese Popcorn...absolutely to die for!!

Sounds like a fun weekend. I wonder if there are any haunted houses near me. I have my 11 year old granddaughter this weekend. I am taking her to the Taylor Swift movie so a haunted house is something my husband could do with her. I would die of fright if I went. Your food doesn’t sound too bad. Miss Vickie’s has a spicy dill pickle chip that is delicious.Weigh-in Day

Fantastic loss. Keep those steps up. I walk around the apartment. I have loop that I do. I add dumbbells to my walk sometimes. I would love to taste onion and garlic potato chips. They used to have a Caesar salad flavour years ago. I wish they would bring it back.

I had a wonderful NSV at the pool. The lady that came with my friend is someone I only met once before about a year ago. I was already at the pool when they came. She was amazed by the transformation. I am about 35 pounds lighter from when I met her before. She also remarked on my mobility. I don’t notice the improvement in it as it happens so slowly so it’s nice when someone else does. I guess those mini walks are paying off. 😄
My weird food combination is cheese whiz and peanut butter on bread together. I haven’t had it in years as I don’t buy cheese whiz anymore.

Thanks for all the well wishes last week - greatly appreciated. Although it's been a very looooong week at work, it's finally Friday and while I already know I'll be putting more time over the weekend, it will be shorter days and on my schedule so I can deal with that.

My friend brought back my scales so I decided to weigh in. The scales begged to come home so I told them to behave and I won’t send them away anymore😂 I didn’t get my steps in yesterday as my stomach got bad. This morning I woke up with no bloat, stomach or chest pain on my left side(gas). Maybe things have finally settled. I hope it is not too good to be true. I am meeting some friends at the pool. I will do exercises with them and swim laps.
Have a great Friday!
Looks like you got that scale in line 😅 awesome stuff buddy💪🏽0 -
Dang yall... I think @lindamtuck2018 might win the weird food battle. How do you beat cheese whiz and peanut butter sandwich? 🤣0

Hello everyone. So good to see everyone's encouraging posts. Sorry to hear about ankle not healing @Megan_smartiepants1970 . I hope the cast helps. I feel like I am on the outside looking in. I am on vacation in the mountains and having a great time. However, restaurant foods are delicious but not always best for health. Exercise is limited because I am with hubby and SIL. Enjoying their company but limited mobility. Doing what I can for now. I will check in when I can.1 -

@NachDeezy I agree! I want to "like" the rest of the post (that IS a great NSV, @lindamtuck2018!), but I just can't do it with the PB&CW combo!
And I love peanut butter! 1 -

A vacation in the mountains sounds heavenly. When I called the cable company yesterday the agent that answered was in Calgary. I was telling her how much I loved going to the mountains when I lived in Edmonton. It was so pretty both in the summer and winter. Enjoy!MyChoiceisaGoodLife wrote: »Penny @MyChoiceisaGoodLife

Taking my granddaughter to see the Taylor Swift movie. No popcorn for me. We are taking her out to eat and the arcade before the movie. Off to get groceries super early as we have an appointment to get our haircut. I also have physio today so it’s a busy day. I will try to get some walks in between everything.
Have a nice day all!3 -
