Happy Sunday Friends!
Spoiler Alert - today's numbers are ugly!

@ashleycarole86 can I please push my target steps back to 7,000. I thought that moving it up 1,000 steps would give me the stretch I needed to make it so. Unfortunately, I just feel more unaccomplished than normal, so keeping my step target at 7,000 (even though I want to exceed it!) would make me feel calmer and more in control.
@adrimango your achievements this last week are awesome - Way To Go! Consistency is definitely key.
@micki48 I hear you on feeling out of control - snap! But I know that we can both do this. It's like Liselyn @jugar says, being under 200lb at 60 is definitely doable!
@strong_fit_ells Hurrah for joining the gym! The price is definitely good value. I do most of my workouts via YouTube, but I do attend my weekly yoga class in person. And it costs me £35 for a batch of 5 classes. So if I were to extrapolate that out and compare it with your annual fee of £410 it would be costing me about £385 a year. I don't make it to every single class. Your arrangement seems good as it allows you to attend 2 classes each week. I think that my preference to work out from home is what makes me so reluctant to join a gym.
Thank you everyone for your kind words about yesterday. I definitely benefitted from my day of downtime.
I'll be back later with my stats for the last week.5 -

Way to go team!! Congratulations on a great week.
So glad to know I am not the only one feeling the struggle. Thank you for all the support. I have so many things to fix but the thing I’m going to work hardest to do is log my food!! Lots of things fall into place when I do. One thing at a time. Or more if it’s going well.
Rainy day here. Doing art and watching the football games. Not too much exercise. I need to work on that too.
@YinxFed so glad you took time to rest and honor your body. Happy to hear you feel better. I am contemplating a position change as well. Both of our lead teachers are leaving and I was lead at this school for five years when I lived here before, so I am trying to figure out if I want to take it on again. I’ve only got 5 years until retirement and my granddaughter is in the upcoming class to first grade. They’re my same kiddos from when I was in PreK. It’s more responsibility and more money, but still not sure. I like less responsibility right now. But I also don’t want to be mentoring a new teacher and not getting compensated for that work. I’ll likely apply and see what happens. So goes things in my future.2 -

Good night 😴 Friends3 -
I made the leaderboard! I needed to see that today. For some reason I've been down on myself today and getting worried about not losing any more before my conference. It's 7 weeks away but feels just around the corner. Just gotta keep putting in the work!10

@adrimango It's a great feeling, isn't it? And very motivating, too, no?
We both have targets in 7 weeks' time. I will be leaving my current job in 7 weeks and you have your conference. I will be keeping you in my mind on my journey.
Night night, Friends 🧡4 -
Hi! I’m finally catching up with all of your posts. So many kind thoughts and wise contemplations!
This past week was a bit wild but I’m looking for my schedule to even out with exercise and giving my body a chance to rest well so my weight fluctuations even out.
I succumbed to 2 desserts today and know I’ll be better about food intake tomorrow while I’m at work. Yay!
Let’s zoom int February and feel the energy begin to rise. That’ll help for sure!
More soon.4 -
Hmm. I worked out hard last week. And didn’t lose a single ounce. Still holding at 149
Will add my steps tomorrow. I put in an hour and 12 minutes of FitOn workouts today.
Well I was bummed today a little. The place that is holding some fish for me is having trouble finding one last one. It is a one spot foxface.4 -

A loss is a loss is a loss so I'll take it!
Enjoyed a huge salad and small calzone while watching the football games last night. I was hoping the Lions could hold on, but it was a fun game. I've did some meal prep for the week - cut veg for chicken fajitas for lunches (chicken is precooked) and made mini meatloaves for some dinners.
I also ordered a new bathingsuit for summer. I figure if I have soent the money on it and have it, I'll be motivated to keep doing what I need to do. If I didn't have a 13 year old daughter I'd hang it in the pantry as a reminder to choose well! Thought yall would find that image funny.
@zumbaforever Your body may just need a few more days to let go of some weight. Keep up with the great work, it will happen!5 -
My steps are as follows
Sun - 5035 + 10 min yoga
Mon - 2680
tues - 2404
Wed - 2524
Thurs -2692
Fri- 2430
Sat - 1350
I know it's horrible, I just could not get into it this week. But the scale doesn't seem to mind, cause it looks great. I honestly believe that for some reason, my body gets overwhelmed when I exercise every day, and it says OMG, she is doing all of this stuff, we have to hold onto everything. Is that even a thing ?
Anyway, I am going to stay with the step challenge, and I am going to keep my goal of 5k steps a day. It's hard, I work on my butt all day, and I have a small home, small office, so getting up and doing something doesn't get me lots of steps. But I need to work on getting more movement regardless of exercise, when I water my plants, I will do one at a time walking back to the sink to do each one, I am going to try to incorporate that kind of stuff, and now that football is over for us, I can get my hubby out on weekends to walk more.
So my goal for February, is 5k Steps a day, Pilates 3 times a week (it's a 20 min video) and Yoga 3 times a week. I will do some strength training also, but I don't think what I do is even enough to count, like right now, my concentration is on my arms, I have trouble opening jars, so my hubby has me doing these weird exercises to increase those particular muscles. But right now, I am only on 1 set of 10 reps of 5lbs. lol - I did Barre yesterday, only 6 minutes, but I felt it. Thats tough, I give those dancers credit, they are working all those weird muscles no body ever thinks about.
Hope you have a great day, I am off to catch up on all these posts.

Don't forget that working out = more muscle mass + some water to help them grow = more weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. You are changing your body composition. You rock!4 -
Happy Monday! not sure how that happened, but here it is. I'll be heading home tomorrow (yay!), so hopefully dad will still be doing ok today. I am not looking forward to the long drive, but it will be wonderful to be home.
I forgot the Monday reminders last night - here they are:

Thanks!4 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy Yup, it's a total thing! Our bodies really like the status quo. Have you considered a walking pad? I got one and it's a total game changer. My home office is tiny, a former walk-in closet but walking while I work or during meetings is awesome. I get so much positive feedback from people too! I always say I can stand still if walking is distracting and I have yet to have someone say it is. Instead they tell me how inspiring or jealous they are. I don't walk all day, but aim for 2 hours a day. I walk slowly - 1.3 miles an hour but those steps add up!4

Hello WaistAways! I am just catching up on the 42 new posts since I last checked in. Congrats on winning week 4! Lots of hard work paid off.
@ashleycarole86 - Friday, January 26 - 6,091 steps, 1 hour of CrossFit
Saturday, January 27 - 6,006 steps, 45 minutes of CrossFit
Sunday, January 28 - 3,163 steps
After reading through all the posts and being impressed by the small, positive changes @adrimango has made, thoroughly blown away by @ashleycarole86 and @bowens1973 for their 150k (93 mi) pelomondo, and so grateful that your dad is doing better, @jugar and @EvMakesChanges, the one post I keep thinking about is the burnout and taking the time to listen to your body, @YinxFed. I'm so glad you did this for yourself!5
