I can’t believe I missed my steps by 117. When I checked my watch I was fairly far off. I couldn’t fall asleep last night so I guess wandering around the apartment helped get me closer. The weather changes are giving me a headache literally and figuratively. I am taking some Advil and laying back down. It’s coffee group today but I will pass until next week.

I need to shape up this week so I get back in the 140’s for next week. The pop cravings are so real.
@itladyee
I volunteered in both my granddaughters JK classes. I swear some of the kids thought I was 5 also. Wish I was able to do the same for my two granddaughters in Scotland. Your grandson is precious. I know that head in the sand feeling.
@FindingSamMon
Good luck with your surgery. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
@NachDeezy
Did I miss you breaking into the 300’s? Awesome! 👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉
@Slimmersixties
You made great strides in gettIng rid of the carb weight. Salt kills me also. I ate some pretzels last night and I am sure there was more salt than it said on the bag.
@jimboden3
The fork wins everytime.

Recap: Glad I moved my weight in day to Saturday. A little up today due to sodium but still lower than last week. So.... tomorrow will be a good number.
Goals for April - Water ~ get to 80
- THOUGHTS:
The weekend usually trips me up, so Monday weigh-ins are a no-no for me! Talk about a morale killer.
But...here are 8 things you can do to win the weekend:
1. Stick with your regular bedtime.
2. Work out in the AM (assures you "get it in).
3. Enjoy/savor your morning coffee/tea or whatever suits you.
4. Do some meal planning & prep for the next week.
5. Don't skip meals and eat them at the table (not in front of the TV) with no devices.
6. Get outside, go for a leisurely walk.
7. Watch your alcohol intake.
8. Stay hydrated.

TV Shows ~ I am a game show addict. I follow Grey's Anatomy, Station 19. I loved This is Us before it completed its run.
@lindamtuck2018 ~ that's the beauty of being with the kids. You don't have to "adult", you can be silly. One of the first things I do whenever I see my grandson is make a silly face. It always brings a smile to his face.

I am gonna bough out for a while. I just have too much much going on. I have told you all about what it takes out me to care for my MIL but what I haven’t let on to is that I have been awaiting results of bladder biopsies taken almost two weeks ago. I had an appointment yesterday and was given the unfortunate news that I have bladder cancer. We are now discussing the difficult decisions regarding my MIL and the need that I have to take care of myself. I will be cheering you all on from the sidelines until I feel that I can return!!6 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I'll be in next month. My step goal is 120K a week, so let's say 17K a day; may be over some days and under others; but that a good number.1 -

The headache wasn’t from the weather by the afternoon I had a sore throat. Probably just a spring cold. I am sure I just got run down from not sleeping properly. Better now than when I am gettIng my surgery. Don’t want that to get delayed. Anyway, I am going to try for a walk if the weather clears up. It is warm outside. I will do some apartment walking if the rain doesn’t stop.
As for my favourite tv shows: I am a reality show junky so big brother Canada, survivor, Next Level Chef, the challenge, Canada’s got talent and the voice are all shows I am watching. I am behind on several so no spoilers. I watch Greys, Station 19 and all the Chicago series (fire,pd and med). Of course, I am behind on these. My new favourite shows are fire country (2nd season) and Tracker. If I had to pick a favourite I would probably say big brother for reality and Fire country for regular tv. I got to get caught up as my pvr is getting full.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
You would get along my husband. He loves any show to do with crime. I am not a big fan of these type shows. I will watch Joe Kenda if a rerun is on but that’s about it.
@itladyee
You should have seeing me try to do tic toc dances with my granddaughter. It’s like going through childhood again when you have grandkids. I am about to enter the preteen years. 😂

Weigh in day: Saturday
PW 149.9
CW 149.7
So glad to see even a small loss! Two birthdays and a graduation down. One birthday, Mother’s Day, and one work social event to go in the next few weeks. And work is pressing me hard right now! Much more sitting, less stepping, no trips to the gym, less sleeping, considerable stressing, and wacky eating - like leftover birthday cake for breakfast!
On a happy note, at the above mentioned grad I wore a pair of fitted dress pants (part of the gift I packaged when we did the Christmas weight loss challenge - Thank you,@Slimmersixties!) and a short jacket. The short jacket is the real progress part - For years I have hidden within long, loose cardigans -black in winter, white in summer. For me, being comfortable enough to wear short and fitted was part of the celebration!1 -
