@ChelleChelle1031 Way to slay those goals!!! What an amazing week you’ve had.
Thanks for the support friends. @Kali225 The change is actually for next year. They just have us the heads up now so we can plan I guess. But yeah, still stinks. Also congrats on the great loss.
@strong_fit_ells Love to see a photo of your new puppy 🐶
Happy birthday to Brad. Ashley, I wish you a restful day.
Chilly day here. I’m feeling like turkey needs to be on the menu tonight. Now to find one not frozen.
Have a great day everyone.

Well my step game was down and clearly I wasn’t paying attention so close to my goal so many days. I’ll do better this week.

Greetings Friends,
@micki48 it makes me so cross when cost-cutting decisions are made that actually affect such far-reaching consequences for real people.
At least you have a bit of time to make some changes of your own.
I'm thinking of you.
@strong_fit_ells I can't wait to see pictures of your new puppy! We have reached out to a local dog shelter and put our names down for a new rescue dog to join our little family.
Take care, my friends!3 -
It has been a good day - had a lovely Jasper session, even if he did not appreciate the return to "whoa kindergarten". He has been feeling rather strong and isn't always stopping when asked nicely. He'll get back his manners soon, I hope! Otherwise, we did some good pattern work, and plenty of cantering (his favourite part). I did overdo it on my favourite snack (seeds, nuts, dried fruit mixture), but hopefully worked most of it off. On the bike tonight - 10 miles of penance
Hats off and Tiaras ON for our top 3 losers - well done @cleaneater80 @MaddawgMadsen and @zankash23 ! Some nice percentages there. Onward ho!4 -

Hi Team, Not much going on here, I think I found my shoes for my trip. I am happy with them, I just need to go on a few hikes with them, but I have time. I am definitely an over planner.
Had a good weekend, got a massage on Saturday, that woman was tough, I was pretty sore the following day, felt like a workout, but it was that good sore feeling. I spring cleaned my house on Sunday, I'm not sure what got into me. I was scrubbing everything... I need to get rid of some clothes and shoes though, I have way too many.
I got up and exercised this morning, it was good, I did 15 min, but my Fitbit only calculated 10
I think I will do some yoga this evening, maybe some strength training.
Have a great day !2 -
Hi WaistAways! I had a fun weekend. That means I overdid it, but for good reasons? My hubby's birthday was Saturday, so I had a fun, relaxing day scheduled for us. We went to the hot springs, followed by a couple's massage, and lunch at a new to us sushi place. All-in-all, it was a nice relaxing day. Yesterday I went snow shoeing with some spin class friends. It was a lot of fun and good exercise. Now we're planning river days and other outdoor adventures.
@micki48 - I am so sorry to hear about your job! I am glad to hear that you have some time before all of those changes take place, but it is still a rough spot to be in. I am sending good thoughts your way for the lead teacher role.
@strong_fit_ells - I cannot wait to see more pictures of your puppy!2 -

@micki48
ACK all around. What a gut punch. I'm sorry for the reductions in hours and the hit to your pocketbook, and for the fact there is no recognition for your years of service.
@Kali225
My structure on the weekend is an area I'd like to work on too.
@MaddawgMadsen
Sounds like your hubby was spoiled.. a nice set of activities to celebrate his special day.
We are enjoying a productive Family Day here, getting lots of chores done. The temperatures are nice so we got our dog out for a nice walk (and steps for us). After the go go go from the last few days it feels good to end on a productive note. We leave for a week to Jamaica in a week and we are going non-stop until then!4 -
I've got the cleaning bug too! I f i n a l l y cut my rug pad down to the size I actually need (I only bought it 10 months ago and have been staring at a swath of gray fuzz sticking out the side of my rug that entire time...), I took a walk to the hardware store to buy some carpet tape and got the whole thing stuck down to my floor which is a HUGE relief. Every time I walked across it, it moved around and caused bunching. Vacuumed, dusted, cleaned my bathroom, even got a little more decor up and around the apartment. And I put on a newer pair of work shoes while I cleaned so I can get them broken in.
Still a few more things to do today, including helping a friend with his resume. This week for dinner, I made pork cutlets, roasted potatoes, and mushrooms - topped with chives and lemon juice. I love chives so much. Gonna get tonight's portion going now. Cleaning is good exercise! But I also want to try to get a lower body dumbbell workout in before the day is done.3 -
Sounds like a good Monday! It is not Family Day here as it is in many other parts of Canada, but it was a good one here on the side of the hill. I got some practicing done, some Pilates, plenty of strength and cardio with Jasper - whew we worked today! It is fun having a young and strong exercise partner when you're 70
I can't say I was as amazing as you, though @kali225 - what a whirlwind! I'm seriously impressed. And lower body dumbbells to come - you have inspired me not to skip my miles on the exercise bike tonight.
I have to go to Montreal tomorrow - last gasp of the investigation process is to meet with the Dean who received my report and talk about the things I could not put in the report
This will be an opportunity to grab ill-advised foods. I'll do my best to plan ahead and avoid them! 3 hours bus round trip will be at least partly balanced by walking. I always walk a lot when I'm in the city.
I'll be back later with the nightly nag

I've been off my routine, traveling, and stressed. Was more on plan today than I have been in awhile.5 -

Well, well! It’s been quite a month of two steps forward & 1 or 2 back in a less-than-coordinated waltz for me. I’m finally getting back to a regular exercise routine and noticing improvements; I can do more knee pushups than when I started and certain resistance training is fun. I know. I rarely put those two words together “fun” and “exercise”. Maybe my mood is improving because I decided to reclaim my daughter’s room as my massage and meditation space. It’s been almost a year since she moved to Hanover, NH for work. She has a very small apartment which just means many of her belongings still live in that room. It’s time!
My food choices have been pretty good although I need to drink more water and get better sleep. My weight fluctuates more when those are in better balance.
Have a good evening, everyone. My plan this week is to do 4 days of strength training and see how that feels.

Good day, everyone. Have a Happy Tuesday.
Question: What is one thing you can get excited about today?
I'm excited about the possibility of my kids spending a night over their grandmothers and/or watching a movie as a family (maybe Aquaman at the theater or Airbender at home) any of these things will be a win at the end of the end of the day.3 -
Morning. Back to work today. I work four days, have the weekend, and then we head to Jamaica for a week. I have two meals out today, a Scotties live curling draw in person tomorrow that includes a meal, and then Thursday and Friday are activities for me (soccer and curling). I need to make good choices as I felt I didn't in any way this last weekend.4
