Good morning Shape Shifters. Yesterday I had a morning walk again. I was pretty warm and there were a lot of mosquitoes but the new bug spray I got works very well. I was a little sad there wasn't much to see since I was dragging my camera with me. But when I was almost back to my bike, I got treated by two crested tits. It is only the second time I have ever seen this bird and the first time I got pictures. It totally made my day. They are sooo adorable. A little bit later there was a cute wren singing its heart out. They can be quite challenging to photograph, so I was glad I got some pictures of that bird too.
I did some weeding outside while Tinus was just chilling in the garden which was nice and I did piles of laundry. When I grabbed Tinus' blankets in the kitchen, a huge spider somehow fell out so that was a fun surprise, lol. Happy Monday everyone2 -

I did not realize that. I definitely want to continue. I have no clue what I told you my goal was.1 -
I’m feeling lazy this morning but I still need to finish is paying my mother’s bills. So, I’ll use today’s Amelia Earhart quote to help motivate me, and act now! She was one of my sheroes growing up so I was glad to see the card with her quote. Harriett Tubman was another shero to me. I watched a Netflix movie about her on Friday night and really enjoyed learning more about her amazing strength and conviction! Who are your s/heroes, Shape Shifters? Is there anyone inspiring you on your journey to better health?2

@DaffyGirl88 No worries, I figured you wanted to join again. Your goal for last month was 12k so that is what I put for this round as well. Let me know if you want to change it.2

~ I had two events this month where I typically see myself going off plan and taking a very long time to get back on it. We hosted a poker party and the weekend after we went out to celebrate hubby’s birthday. Usually with these type of events it takes me a while to come out of the carb funk.. this time it took me a day or two per occurrence. So I’m actually very pleased with myself for losing any weight whatsoever.
Yay! Happy dance 🕺🏻 💃🏻4 - Net Calories ( 12421 / 10500)

Hi Everyone, thanks for welcoming me back. My motivation for coming back is seeing everyone's journey which helps inspire myself. I am 36 and have high blood pressure which I have been prescribed medication for but remains high. I am therefore intending to improve this through diet and exercise. To start with I am taking Omega 3 and Pottasium supplements which help with blood pressure this is something I am monitoring daily. I am currently at 180ibs and I am aiming for 165ibs as my first target and then will assess if I want to go lower from there. My main exercise is lifting weights but will start to introduce some cardio now I am looking to reduce my weight. Also targeting 1500 cals per day. Have a work night out on Thursday which I will have some drinks so also tracking helps me limit my intake and enjoy life whilst getting fitter. Have a good week everyone!5 -
Cw: 231.0. Ugh. Too much sodium this weekend. I need excused for weigh in for next Monday, May 6th as I will have moved into my new place but can't guarantee I'd have found my scale.5

May Month Intro: Yukie_OP
Hi All, I've been apart of MFP for a few years now. I'm juggling FT work and study (for professional development) with personal/family life (I'm married and have a elementary age daughter plus raising my teenage niece). Re-joined this group around mid-march, the group helps me tremendously in staying accountable.
I have an upcoming vacation and wedding this month, which has motivated me particularly these past few weeks to increase my daily activity.
Weigh-in day: Friday

My name is Sue, and I am 63 years old. I live in southern Maryland, am married, have two grown kids (1 in Seattle, 1 in VA), 2 grandbabies (VA) and 1 fur baby 🐶. I work full time, currently teleworking. I love to read, ride my bike, quilt, and make greeting cards. I am always up for a challenge and am usually involved in multiple reading, fitness and Fitbit challenges at any given time. 📚🚶♀️
I have been on MFP for over 10 years now but only joined Shape Shifters last month. Wow...time sure does fly!! I hit my “official” goal of 140 lbs two years ago but have crept steadily up since then to almost 150, which is my “I must do something now” threshold. It took me years (almost 20) to crack the 150 barrier so I never want to pass it again.
The days are getting longer, and slowly – too slowly for my taste - getting warmer, so I am looking forward to being able to get back outside and bike / hike / kayak. I am travelling 2 of the 4 weekends each month and that is always a challenge for me. We recently bought our “retirement” home in VA near the grandkids so we are going down there frequently, taking carloads of stuff and doing small projects like painting and putting up shelves. I’m looking forward to spending more time there and actually enjoying the time rather than fixing up the house. All in good time I guess. The permanent move is about 16 months away yet.
Anyway, that’s me. I am happy to be here and look forward to another great month!

@Pupowl - you inspired me to get a pilates ring to add to my workouts- I was given an Amazon GC from my boss last week at my full time bank job for admin prof week so I'll be doing that during lunch or after dinner
so thanks 😊
It should be here by the end of the week and then got a thicker yoga mat with a carrying bag for my yoga studio classes to cushion my knees5 -
Since a new quarter is coming up, here are questions that are a good reflection point as we head halfway into the year by June as well
