Was hoping to see a loss with the habit's I've been changing this week but don't feel let down by the numbers yet. Had a great weekend spending time with family and staying consistent with my diet. The weather has been amazing making it so much easier to get outdoors.4 -

So I didn’t lose or gain, what color is that? 😆
I’m going with the number that I saw on the scale this morning. On Saturday it was 169.6 so I hope to post a little green for my team next week. We had a good run. Now it’s time to get honest, dial-in and get on that grind. “AGAIN!”

@Gidgitgoescrzy are your hiking boots ankle-high? Look carefully into the way you lace them up to avoid your feet slipping forward. There are several different techniques, but the object is to keep the heel at the back of the boot when you're going down hill. This site has a few techniques, including for low boots - https://www.backpacker.com/skills/beginner-skills/how-to-tie-hiking-boots/ No squishing your poor toes! I agree that adding insoles makes it worse.
@StayFITTer no loss, no gain = black. Being in the black sounds good, at least!
I'm having a fit trying to put together a slide show of nothing but images (artwork) - some are portrait, some are landscape, and they are different sizes. I am great with spreadsheets, but I obviously need some work on my powerpoint skills! I'm happy to be showing off some amazing drawings during a concert I'm playing next Sunday, so I hope I get it right.

frustrating workday here, and I ended up skipping lunch altogether which wasn't ideal. Dinner was okay. No movement/exercise today. I did vacuum my apartment and clean my bathroom. Hope tomorrow goes better at work, and I'll have dance cardio in the evening.3

Hi everyone,
I had a busy weekend. We got baby chicks and ducklings. Our garden now has all of it's drip irrigation set up. I planted some of our seeds and also got the guinea pigs outside for some grass and dandelions. Lots of steps were taken and I was pretty worn out by Sunday night.
This weekend I finished up my 2 weeks of tracking for my baseline. I was keeping track of my macros, steps, sleep hours, sleep quality, stress and energy. I was able to determine my maintenance calories. My next phase will be to start adding in habits. I am currently adding working out for 2 hours a week and getting 5,000 steps. I was happy to cross quite a few habits off the list that I already have. Adding more protein and fiber will be added next.5 -

Yes they are ankle high, this is very helpful, never thought about lacing, thank you very much !

Workday today was NOT less frustrating, but I did have a late-in-the-day breakthrough on something that has been confounding my team for more than a year. So that's good. And we ordered in sandwiches for my manager's birthday. I got a spicy chicken cutlet sandwich, which had lots of protein.
We did dance cardio for 47 min straight before cooldown, which was awesome. I mixed in a bunch of new songs so we were really challenged with footwork. Got very sweaty.
Determined to make tomorrow better at work, and to leave ON TIME. Wednesdays are my walking days in the evening and it is always nice to unwind that way before dinner.
@jugar hugs to dear Jasper! What a bright-eyed boy he is.
@conleywoods love this data-discovery phase you started with. knowledge is power, after all.4 -
Happy Wednesday!
I’ve been home week and can see that my sleep is longer and deeper when I’m away. In order to improve it, I’ve started using one earplug, in addition to my weighted eye mask. It helps to hear fewer noises and fall asleep sooner, so I’ll take that as an improvement!
I’ll work on a bigger calorie deficit today, since I’ll be at my desk and not walking as much.
I’m looking into stationary bicycles (to use while watching TV). Any recommendations as to quiet models out there? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

That was a little disappointing, but I'm over it. Next week will be better.
Have a great day !

I ordered a new scale that will track all the things (BMI, pounds of fat vs muscle, etc.). It showed up last night! So, obviously I set it up today. I weighed myself four times this morning - twice on the new scale and twice on the old scale. Once before spin class and once after. All four weigh-ins were different. And, oddly enough, I was (for the first time EVER), less after spin class. @jugar - I'm going to share the four weights I did today. But, I will do two more tomorrow (once on each scale). Can I take an average of the six weigh-ins or an average of the new scale to get to my new scale weights?
Weigh-in 1 (New scale): 177.8
Weigh-in 2 (Old scale): 176.8
Weigh-in 3 (New scale): 176.8
Weigh-in 4 (Old scale): 176.0
Last week's weight was 171.8. I expected to go up a little because I worked out hard last week! I definitely built some muscle and worked ones that I haven't in a while. But, a four to five pound jump? I wasn't expecting that. I did pretty well with my eating this last week. I did accidentally have some gluten on Monday that has been wreaking havoc on my body. Maybe that's it?0 -
@jugar - Jasper is a B-E-A-UTIFUL boy! Thanks for sharing a picture. The background looks gorgeous, too. No snow!2

If you’re interested, I created this water challenge to focus one area of health the last 15 days of the month. Only 6 slots open. Hope this is helpful and another way to connect.

This challenge does not require a fitness tracker. It is self reporting. I think I will do a new one every 15 days in a different area to stack habits.
And if you miss a day, no sweat! You have 7 days to update the tracker.

Average away! I think that is a good way to go when adjusting to a new measuring device0 -
Hi everyone!
@jugar Jasper is a beautiful boy for sure😍 He looks like a smart guy. My dog is also named Jasper.
I have been sticking close to my maintenance calories and my plan this week was 2 workouts.I have yet to get one in this week. I need to do one on a week day and one on the weekend. Tomorrow I have an easy dinner planned and then I will work out.
The job I've been waiting for finally opened yesterday 🙌 I'm soooooo excited and I really hope I get it. It's in my neighborhood school district so I would have the same schedule as my kids and husband. The best part is it's 3 days a week with a very flexible schedule. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞The first review of applications would be next Wednesday. It's going to be a long wait!4
