I have been on this weight loss journey since January 2023. 💖I wouldn't be where I am today without this group (along with a couple other challenges I am in); I am so thankful for their support and accountability. 💖

Feb 1: DNW 📝 💦
Feb 2: DNW 📝 💦 Stiil traveling, scheduled to arrive tonight. Eating terribly on drive down, sure I'll be up from my ending Jan tomorrow.
Feb 3: 160.6 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Not as bad as I expected. We arrived in Florida, my home for the next 7 days. Beautiful 70 degrees. We are kind of in the city and no treadmill, so think I will be doing most of my steps in front of youtube. We are going to conquer the Chain of Lakes Trail while we are here 4.7 miles
(one way).
Feb 4: 160.6 👣 📝 🥗 💪 💦 Beautiful day yesterday. Took out AM walk, went to the thrift store and bought a food scale (forgot to pack mine), 8 shirts, 1pair of pants, and a golf club - all for under $15 dollars. Then our friends came to the house (we are staying in for a couple days while Monty adjusts to the new place). Played pinochle, played farkle, chatted, sat in the sun. Couldn't be any better. We got take out for lunch, but stayed within my calorie goal.
Feb 5: 159.6 😁 👣 📝 🥗 💦 It's temporary, but I'll take it. We have been staying in the first few days of our vacation so Monty can get used to the new digs - but we have a few outings scheduled in the next few days that will test my willpower! Had a nice day yesterday - working on the Chain of Lakes Trail - it is a lot different than what we are used to - but we will complete it. Basically a walk through the city of Winter Haven. Then we found a trail around Lake Wailes that was nicer for the afternoon. Hung out with the friends again, always a treat. Then watched Oppenheimer - which my husband has been dieing to see. I liked it a lot more than I expected, but am so glad we didn't see it in the movie theater - it's THREE hours long!
Feb 6: 160.2 📝 🥗 💪 🧘‍♀️ 💦Another beautiful day in Florida. We finished the Lake Wailes trail. One more day with Monty all day to make sure he was comfortable staying alone in a strange home. We think he will be fine. Today, Hubby is golfing this morning. I'm staying in, catching up on MFP, working out. Then we head to an oyster bar for lunch. This evening we are going out to dinner with my Aunt and Uncle who winter in Florida and actually live one town over.
Feb 7: 161.4 📝 💦 Tracked everything, but dinner out last night put me over the top - and the sodium! Out again tonight for dinner with the friends. Expect that number to climb before we head home on Friday. Today we are headed to BOK tower - a garden and bird santuary - one of the highest points in Florida (it's pretty flat here), and it's Dog friendly!
Feb 8: 160.6 📝 🥗 💦 Our last day in Sunny Florida. Heading on our drive home tomorrow AM. Yesterday was a nice day - ended up on a different Trail as Greg wanted to try something new (we have been to BOK Tower multiple time on different visits. Went out to dinner again last night, here is the crew.
Feb 9: 159.8 📝 🥗 💪 💦

@stormywxs288 Those vaccines can really hit hard, especially the Shingles vax. I hope you have all the energy you need today to get back to some fun and exercise.

@deepwoodslady I'm happy you see the 170's again! And I'm hope you can carve out a little space for your workout equipment during this renovation/repair.

@iLive2Walk Look at that proof of hard work! Great pics, and I'm so happy for you. I'm glad you had a wonderful vacation.


@WhiskeyDeltaKilo Happy Friday!
