Hi!
I'll be away from a scale tomorrow, so my CW is 179.8. sigh. Got a month before the next big food day to tighten up.2 -
Had a great Thanksgiving with family! We ate 2 amazing meals. My one cousin cooks homemade pizzas the night before thanksgiving. So many different flavors and delicious! And then we had the typical thanksgiving meal today. So tasty and a lot of food eaten these past 2 days. So now that I enjoyed myself, it's back to normal tomorrow...tracking and stepping!
@ashleycarole86 I hope you start feeling better soon. Don't push yourself too hard to work out if you are still recovering.
@jugar I am glad you were able to get your car down the driveway!
We are heading home tomorrow and I will be spending the weekend deocrating for Christmas! 🎄2 -
@jugar - I will weigh in tomorrow to see if it’s any better. I really enjoyed some pie and delicious food yesterday for Thanksgiving.2

It has been a happy Friday - my new saddle arrived yesterday and Jasper and I put it through its paces today. What a difference! We both feel so much better it is amazing. I love the way it fits me - and Jasper certainly seems to find the same for him. He moved so much more powerfully, was able to step under himself and swing both hips and shoulders with ease. I think we're going to make some good training progress this winter. We'll still take it step by step while he is still young and his bones and all are developing, not just his muscles. Getting strong together
So team - let's all keep getting stronger and feeling great! Here are the remaining weigh-ins for the week, but be sure to plan and then brag about your exercise and stretching too!

a mini goal for this upcoming week for me - try to check in at MFP before 10:30pm... even once would be nice.
had to move today's workout to tomorrow because I ended up going on two short hikes today! 35 min for the first, probably more like 25/30 for the second. Pretty steep inclines, and a bit rough on my foot but I ordered new shoes to arrive by the 30th or so, and I am excited to have some refreshed support. (I also ordered 6 other pairs of shoes during DSW's black friday sale. No, I do not have a shoe addiction. It was just a really good sale.
)
good night!2 -
@Kali225 You kept me up late last night! I know you did! I went and looked at the DSW site. I didn't buy anything, though - I get easily overwhelmed, and the prices on the Canada site weren't that great. But I'm glad to know about the site anyhow I looked at lots of stuff yesterday thinking I should maybe some day get with the program and buy when there are big sales, but I just couldn't do it. I'm like that in big stores too - hopeless!
A beautiful cold sunny morning here - time to get outside!1 -

Another busy week of travel, this time to NYC. I went out to dinner with a cousin and his husband the night I arrived, then the next day I had my work meeting and catered lunch. I ended up taking my leftovers in the train ride home which made for an easy dinner instead of train food. I also managed to get a workout in on both Monday and Tuesday with my work travel.
Wednesday was a busy day; I had meetings straight from 9-3pm with no breaks. I had to nibble on a protein bar and drink a protein shake just to get me through my meetings until I could have lunch at 3. It was so mentally draining, my husband made the dessert I was going to make for Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was wonderful; good food and better company. Now it’s time to get back on track. I had a 45-minute spin class this morning which felt great.4 -
It's that time again - this coming week we open to new members for December. If you have any friends who would like to join us, send them this link! They can sign up and end 2023 with a bang. MFP might have its issues, but it is an easy one-stop-shop for tracking and community that still works well in its free version. Not perfect, but pretty danged good!

If you are already here on the team, you do not need to register again. We'll keep you always unless told otherwise!1 -

Made it home today from VA. Had a great trip but am glad to be in my own bed. I am aiming for a perfect day tomorrow to get back on track. I am hoping my weight will come back down after eating delicious food.5 -
@jugar CAD prices never look as friendly from where I am sitting, it's true. I have admittedly continued to find some deals for black friday today - I've been a pretty good saver this year so it's nice to upgrade a bunch of stuff at once!
I drove home from NY today. Same as @lauren_989 , feels nice to be back in my bed. and I am conking out. got laundry done but no workout. I did walk a bit this morning which was nice - very chilly out.2 -
OK folks! Back to work - we had an overall gain last week (as did 3 of the 5 teams

Sunday weigh in. Greetings Friends.
PW - 184.0
CW - 185.3
I'm sorry to record a gain today - especially as I'm starting off the new week. Next week will be better - I'm counting on it.
It's been a rather trying week if I'm honest. I'm normally a very positive person, but a couple of events over the last few days have really put me under a dark cloud. I expect that I will emerge back into the light in the next day or two.
I've discovered a new online trainer with some fun dance routines. Dancing always lifts my soul, so I am going to include at least one dance routine into my weekly workout schedule this week.
I'll be back to share my step and exercise stats soon.
Yx

it is NOT 10:30pm! I slept in a little today, caught up with a friend on the phone, got my groceries done. Watched a lot of football. Now going to try to do some meal prep while the last game is on, and then get to bed. I'm pretty tired. Glad I got a 45 min walk in, although my foot definitely needs ice and rest tonight after that.2

Look at you all early and everything! Take that foot to bed and sleep the sleep of the virtuous

Well that was the most boring, nonproductive 4 day weekend ever! Neither the husband or I was feeling 100% so, we did not leave the house except for me to go get my CT scan. We did make a nice Thanksgiving dinner of beef tenderloin, melting potatoes, cheesy asparagus, roasted green beans, and roasted carrots. Haa haa see what I did there, you couldn't help but make your plate half veggies...
I got my CT scans back, and no break YAY! - Just some degenerative stuff and something called vacuum phenomenon, which is gas in the spine, and that's why the x-ray tech thought he saw a break. So that's great news, I can continue to work on having the strongest core ever and using muscles instead of my defective spine to hold me up!
I did get my husband to move my treadmill and I have a show I can watch while walking on it. The Gilded Age. Last time I was losing really well, I watched Downton Abby, and only watched it while I was on the treadmill. That seemed to work well for me, so why not try it again. I did 30 minutes yesterday and the time just flew by. Which is what I need because I get bored so quick on the treadmill, and really don't enjoy it.
I have alot to catch up on in here...
Have a fabulous day

Hey everyone! I am back. And, I realized I forgot to have @jugar take me off the weigh-in list for last week. Sorry!
I had a blast in Mexico with my family for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving was also my nephew's 18th birthday which is the legal drinking age in Mexico, so we took him out for a drink. Honestly, I did drink every day we were there, but I kept it almost exclusively to tequila shots and hard seltzers, which means I didn't overdo it with sugar. I weighed myself this morning and am up 1.6 lbs, but I have a feeling that is largely travel bloat. So, with my weigh-in on Wednesday, I am hoping to be close to where I was when I left. I didn't do any workouts like I planned (other than 45 minutes on a spin bike at the hotel on the way down), but I did get in exercise through walks along the beach, paddle boarding, golf, and other walks around town.
I've mostly caught up on posts since I left, and will carve out time soon to respond to them. Until then, enjoy these pictures of the beach my dog who was oh so happy when I finally came home.

@MaddawgMadsen welcome back - Your dog looks like they are in bliss. Beautiful beach.
@Gidgitgoescrzy So glad to hear there's no break. great idea about walking while watching your shows. More productive and getting your activity in is amazing. Keep it up.
@YinxFed love the idea of dancing with a trainer online. Would be so much fun. Hope you get out of your cloud soon, we are here for you.
Put up the Christmas tree and decorations over the weekend. I love pulling everything out and rearranging the house. Puts so much spirit in me and give me a new sense of energy.

If any Friday weigh-in people...[/quote]
Oops! Sorry that I didn't ask for T-Day week off from weighing in. I'll weigh in this week for sure.
We did, indeed visit the "happy pappy". The dinner was fine except for the fact that the kitchen poured gravy on almost everything which made it hard for Dad to figure out what he was eating! We kept after him to eat the lovely green beans and helped cut the turkey into smaller pieces. He still feeds himself but seems to forget that's what he's there to do. Hmm. My wife was a big help, especially when Dad insisted we make our place settings match his down to the napkins and flatware. He also pointed to a button on Sarah's shirt, indicating that she should button it...apparently, that was a big distraction.
I can't say that Dad knows me at all but once in awhile, he initiated "fist bumps" with me. He's still in there...just hard to talk with him about anything happening around him or in the world.
OK...time to get some late supper going.
Have a lovely rest of the day/evening/night.
I'll get in here more this week.

@Gidgitgoescrzy yay on no break!! to the core and beyond!
@MaddawgMadsen love those pics, what a shot of the doggo
Just finished my lower body workout for the week. Tough one, glad I modified down to 3 rounds instead of the stated 5, would have been really taxing on the foot. Currently icing and then hopping in the shower.
I got thrown such a curveball in my commute this morning - I take the T in Boston downtown almost right to my office door. But today, I learned my line is closed for the cast majority of downtown stations for the next week so I had to get off early, get on a coach bus for 2 stops, and then walk the last few blocks. And then the reverse to get home. At least I work from home on Thursdays & Fridays! This was the Mondayiest Monday of all Mondays. But did net me some extra steps. ?
