Friday ~ March 15
Good morning Shape Shifters. Not a very enjoyable walk this time. It was still quite warm in the morning compared to before and I had a terrible headache the whole walk. Sometimes it goes away, this time it didn't and it was a miserable walk. I still got 82 minutes done, but the first thing I did when I got home was take two pills. Thankfully they helped. It was a busy day for packages. I picked up two and one got delivered at home. My long sleeves cotton shirts were getting old and even the laundry didn't get them to smell fresh anymore, so I bought of set of 5 shirts in different colors to replace them. I am very happy with them since they have a looser and more comfortable fit.
The other two packages were related to horse riding. Ever since I started my weight loss journey, I had this idea that I would ride a horse again once I made it to 85 kilos (187.4 lbs). Since I am getting pretty close I decided to start looking for all the gear for it. Also good timing with the birthday money I got from my dad. So today I got shoes, gloves and riding pants. Everything looks nice and fits well. I was mostly surprised about the pants, since that one is only an XL, but I guess it was stretchy enough. I am aware that you can ride horses at a higher weight if they are big enough, but I really doubt it would have been comfortable for me. I also think it is nicer for the horse to have a lighter load and it gave me something to work towards. The last time I rode was somewhere in 2014, so it's been a while! I am really looking forward to going for a nice ride in the national park though. I hope to make it to 187.4 around May, but we shall see. I did my gym rings workout in the afternoon and went to bed early to read the new book I got from my mom. Really enjoying it.Happy Saturday everyone
walk, good sleep & food, gym rings workout

@Armygirlarmyof1 Tinus is a little poophead with pictures. As soon as he sees me coming with my phone, he will look in the other direction on purpose. No matter how much I try to get his attention, he will refuse to look at me! It is very rude.4

What a crazy week I had! Two parties this week with lots of food! I did ok with it. I didn't eat like I normally would have. But I see my hard work this week didn't pay off at all.
I exercise in the morning and in the evening. With no luck of losing this unwanted weight!
I would like to give up now! But I won't! I have to learn to take the bad with the good! I would just love to see more good days than bad!

@alleykat69 Sounds like you did in fact have more good days than bad. Two parties where you didn't eat as much as you did in the past is pretty impressive! 0.2 lbs is like one big poop (TMI?
) and it is gone again, so don't sweat it. 3 -
Happy Saturday everyone!

Day 96 of chest cold. Ugh. Okay, not really -- but it *feels* like day 96!
Today the weather turned warm so I was out early for backyard yoga and mediation with the cats. My tortie girl "Wookie Bear" always tries to eat the mat.
In the afternoon I walked over to the Fort and took some photos of areas I thought you guys might find interesting.They would hide the cannons behind these big earth works and they're designed to fire upon ships and submarines. This is along the mouth of the Columbia river which runs into Portland Oregon. Edit: I should mention there is at least one Ghost Hunters show where they visit this fort! They say they go into the "catacombs" lol, it's just the magazine storage room. Nobody lived down there or died down there but they did play it up really well on TV, lol, we had a watch party for that and a good laugh.
A nice day. With my cold I've been up all night coughing and eating at really irregular times and feeling out of it. I also had a really bad headache today that didn't want to respond to ibuprofen. I will start to track calories again when I get back to a 24 hour normal day!

Saturday ~ March 16
Good morning Shape Shifters. Not a very interesting day here. I got my walk in, thankfully no headache this time so it was a lot more enjoyable. I got another package with really cute flower plates and a bowl. I needed a new water jar with a lid (because Tinus' hair flies around) but then I saw these on sale and I had a birthday discount coupon as well. I didn't need the flower stuff, but it was just too cute. I listened to some nice podcasts while gaming, but otherwise it was pretty quiet and boring. My rainbow tracker was looking really good again this week so I am happy.Happy Sunday everyone walk, good sleep & food nothing!

The daily card:We often make the subject of love far more complicated than it needs to be. Have you noticed that people tend to respond positively to you if you show them love? It's a principle that humans automatically work by. Tell someone you love how you feel about them. Share with them one aspect of their personality that you admire. Notice how they react towards you. They may even reciprocate. To get love, you only have to show it.

I took my measurements (in centimeters if you are confused) this morning. It was also the last day of my paper journal. I still find tracking on paper very helpful and for some reason more impactful than using MFP. I really love this journal and I plan to keep using them as long as they work, so starting a new one tomorrow. My numbers are looking pretty good. Compared to when I had my previous lowest weight in Jan 2020 when I went to the gym, some things are currently a little higher but overall the differences aren't that big. Walking is free, the gym is expensive. I have only been using the gym rings for a month as well, so lots more to improve there. Being in nature is also super important for my mental health. I like what I am doing now and the routine I have seems to work so I will continue with my walks and the gym rings at home.

~ I was a bit out of sorts this week with hubby being gone and Tom compounded the situation. I lacked good sleep and worked overtime so I really didn’t have time to read the posts here (which usually lifts me up and motivates me)
Overall grade for the week: B for Blah😒
***I’ll be weighing tomorrow because I feel my weight this morning was temporarily on the higher end due to all the sodium I had last night. I’m pretty sure it’ll be a gain though (I did not plan well for an impromptu night out with a bunch of crazy drunkards!! Lol3 - Track / Under / 20minExercise ?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!🍀🍀🍀
