    I do not think I have ever seen that many flowers @micki48 !!! The amount of work that must have gone into making all those displays is seriously impressive. The feast of scents must have been amazing too. So glad you and your friend could enjoy such a beautiful exhibit :heart:

    And having an impressively green weigh-in certainly impresses too!

    @micki48 look at you in your flower crown! Great to see your radiant smile. How lucky to have a longtime friend, as well being bombarded with blossoms and blooms!
    We just received a heavy, wet snow blanket. We’re really not that far along in our actual “springtime” here in Vermont - the famous “fat lady” hasn’t sung, yet!
    I’m working on consistency over the next 2-weeks, aiming for 12 out of 14 days of walking at least 8K. Combined with eating at a calorie deficit, I’ll see better results, I’m sure. I’ll keep you posted!
    Have a good rest of the weekend, y’all.

    @jugar The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has been holding this flower show since 1829. People come from everywhere. I went as a child and I still go. It is a sensory experience like none other. It’s worth a visit if flowers and gardening is your thing or even if you just like pretty things.

    Today I need to make sure to get my steps in and log my food. I’m making a list of what I need to do. Move, move, move. I think I heard someone here say (maybe) that motion is lotion. I need that lubrication in my joints.

    Time to move. I still need to read the 4 pages I missed so far this month.

    Guys, I really can't explain it! Apart from only managing one workout this week due to my back being so beastly to me, I haven't done anything different this past week compared to the week before. I'm really sorry! I so much wanted to be in the 170s before the end of Q1 2024. Instead, I've just left a trail of red in my wake!

    And to add insult to injury (why DO we say that?) I was in so much pain with my back that I haven't even been able to start the Medium #75 challenge! I feel like a great big giant slug!

    Kudos first! You have been going through many things, and your back hurts! Pain is not the best ingredient for lowering stress, feeling good about things, or weight loss success, that's for sure.

    But! You can explain the trail of red. It is not about exercise, especially in times when exercise is impossible or difficult because of pain or injury. It is diet. You need to change that up - if you can't burn it, you have to cut back on eating it. It is a tough truth sometimes, but small adjustments can really add up. Track carefully, lower your totals for the day, try cutting certain "triggery" items - I know you can do this! You are strong even when not lifting weights :smiley:

    PS you are NOT a slug! You are a person taking care of an aching back - way different. And less slimy.

    Sunday: 14,235 + 45 min jog @ 4.5mph + 45 min yoga
    Monday: 10,963 + 60 min body pump class + 45min walk @ 3.5mph
    Tuesday: 10,325 + 45 min pilates + 45 min jog @ 4.5mph
    Wednesday: 10,157 + 60 min body pump class + 45 min walk away the pounds video (outside in the dark and rain)
    Thursday: 10,144 + 45 min yoga + 45 min jog @ 4.3mph
    Friday: 9,633 + 45 min walk @ 3.5mph + 45 min yoga
    Saturday: 8,929 + 60 min body pump class + 45 min walk (☔️) @ 3.7mph

    @ashleycarole86 I would like to adjust my step goal (if it works like this) is 10,000 steps before any add on for exercise. If that's too hard, let me know what I averaged this week for steps after exercise 😄

    It is amazing how much easier it is to stop a habit (exercise) than starting! I bet you and Brad can get right back into a routine!

    @ChelleChelle1031 I hope you are feeling better!

    @YinxFed I hope your back feels better soon!

    I got home from my hike this morning and took a nap, read some of my book, and did a yoga stretch video. I feel like it will be an early bedtime tonight. Time change always messes with me!
