My Weigh-In Day is tomorrow, but won't be able to post.
Thank you, Karly2 -
For my reward system, I'm going to try (with Monopoly money in a jar so I can see it):
$15 for perfectly following my diet
$10 for following the diet with Coke Zero or Gatorade Zero (trying to drop artifical sweetners but it will take time)
$10 for a workout that makes me sweat
$5 for 10,000 steps in a day
$3 basic strength exercises at home
We will see how it goes!7 -
@ashleycarole86 Thanks for the step update!
Thanks for all you do!
@MaddawgMadsen Wonderful WIN! (Weigh-In) I miss seeing you on Stridekick!
@jugar Thanks for keeping us on track. Hope you and @EvMakesChanges are taking care of yourselves
From a glance it looks like everyone is thriving and plugging along. Here’s to the weekend! Let’s finish our week strong together!

Looking good, everyone! Some lovely green, some holding the line, and some small ups but combined with beautiful things like fitting into a new size of jeans (or almost!) and getting the workouts done - this is shaping up to be a good week for Team WA!
Let's get it wrapped up - remaining weigh-ins for today and Saturday:

@YinxFed Love that beautiful face. Congratulations on the run. Impressed
@Gidgitgoescrzy I love your testing and planning and gardening and general organization. Must be exciting with your trip around the corner.
I love the Monopoly money idea!! Sometimes that visual can work wonders.
Thank you for your support with my job woes. It is a placed I loved. But those in charge have made it a toxic environment. I am in the process of applying to other schools.
I will focus on the good this week. I took a few walks with my class. I made it through the week! 🤪 I just about stayed the same weight wise. Going on a walk with a friend for her birthday at an Arboretum this afternoon.
Have a great day. I will make myself check in more. It lifts me up. Thank you all.4 -
Friday Weigh In (1 day late, again!)

getting very frustrated with myself but not surprised at the gain this week - I binged basically sunday-wednesday so I guess it could have been way worse.
Cons this week:
-bingeing
-tried something new for dinner recipe that ultimately didn't turn out great
-some work stress
-only did 2 sessions of exercise thus far
Pros this week:
-the work stress did include some interesting analysis and I got good feedback on it, include from some high-up people at my company. I really hope promotion is on the table this year.
-had a nice catch up phone call with a long distance friend while on a walk thursday - total time moving was probably an hour or more and my foot wasn't in pain by the end!!
-I logged off work at a normal time on Friday which has been a big sticking point for me recently
-continued my spring cleaning. only 2 tasks left for today!
I am desperate for some new cooking inspiration, I've been really off in the kitchen lately. will brainstorm that while I walk to a dental cleaning in a bit.4 -

Happy sunny Saturday from North Carolina, USA. I had an incredible time at the Rock concert Thursday night. I managed to get my steps in that day and my strength exercises. I got zero Monopoly dollars Friday. I was really tired from the concert and things were tense on the family front. But today I am on track to hit my steps and my eating plan with no modifications!3

Yay! I had a great loss this week and I got the job I interviewed for!!!! So excited 😁 I will be the only occupational therapist in the school district so that will be a change. I will be 3 days a week which is exactly what I wanted. So thrilled. I have not been very consistent with my healthy habits as my head has been some where else for quite some time. Still coming back down to earth.9 -
It is probably too late, but in case it isn't!

@conleywoods congratulations!! That is so exciting! 🎉 And great loss this week!
Happy Mother's day to everyone!4 -
@conleywoods That is fantastic news! It sounds perfect
Let's hope that @micki48 and others looking for a work change are able to celebrate soon too. Hugs all around!1 -
I second that - congrats to @conleywoods and hopefully that's a good omen that we'll soon be saying the same thing to @micki48
You ladies deserve a place of employment that you love!
We had a concert with friends in the city on Friday night so we delayed coming out to the lake until yesterday. It's been a really nice day. @lauren_989 I missed the Aurora Borealis light show completely so was delighted when I woke up Saturday to non-stop photos.. people truly got some gorgeous shots!
Brad is travelling for work this week and Thursday night we leave for a quick trip to see his family in Ontario so I feel like it's going to be a whirlwind. I want to focus on good choices before the trip as I'm teetering at the top end of this decade and I really don't want to go into a new one. That is my current source of motivation.4 -
