thank you @lauren_989 ! And another perfect day for you, woo!!

In addition to the weather, I got really tired last night so I got into bed early and played some video games. Let myself sleep in a bit (8:45am lol) today and got out to kayaking eventually. It was lovely out.

Now I am relaxing with some preseason football. Autumn is around the corner!!!!

Greeting from Missoula, Montana! Nice to be on the other side of the border where so many of you are for a few days! We have been having a blast per usual... the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss concert was EPIC. The talent that Robert Plant has and how amazing his voice still is... wow. I would say we were basically moved to tears a few times.
Then we saw it was the Missoula County Fair and I've never been to a US fair so we had to check it out. There was a butterfly and insect display that we really enjoyed, we played a few rounds of bingo, had a couple drinks and some food, and checked out the exhibit halls. One of the neat things I'm not used to is all the judging and ribbons awarded to all sorts of things - flowers, crafts, baked goods, vegetables.. we had a blast walking around and seeing all the entries.
Then we had a luxurious vacation nap (oh so good) and decided to go to the movie theatre to see Trap. We enjoyed it, you had to suspend belief a bit as some of the concepts were a bit far fetched but it was all good.
I remember last time I was in Missoula I was a similar weight - they have an old carousel downtown and you have to be under 250 to ride and I remember melting down that I was above that... well lo and behold all these years later and I'm basically back in the same boat. I need to stop just talking about it and start doing something about it, I'd say.

Sunday: 8,289 + 1.7 mile walk @ 3.4 mph
Monday: 2,639
Tuesday: 6,731 + 1.7 mile walk @ 3.4 mph
Wednesday: 6,027 + 1.7 mile walk @ 3.4 mph
Thursday: 3,028 + 45 min yoga
Friday: 6,842 + 1.7 mile walk @ 3.4 mph
Saturday: 11,183 + 1.7 mile walk @ 3.4mph

This week I didn't get to body pump at all. They had changed the times because instructors were on vacation, so it didn't mesh with my schedule. So I just did some walking around my neighborhood. Anywho, back to my regular schedule next week!

Great job this week @strong_fit_ells and @Neon_hippie!!

Shout out to @Gidgitgoescrzy who is down 50 pounds from her highest weight!!

Let's stick with our habits for the upcoming week!

🎉🎉🎉

woooo @Gidgitgoescrzy Vicki, 50 lbs down is awesome!

@ashleycarole86 so glad the concert was great. I'm so interested to hear you comment on the prizes at the fair - that isn't a thing in Canada? I would say not every fair in the US is big enough to have competitions for livestock and plants etc but it's very common. (Particularly maybe in the midwest & west regions where the farms are also so much bigger). And I like your attitude about being around the same weight last time you were at the carousel - time is weird and we go through so many seasons with our weight, but you can always reset yourself!

@StayFITTer I'm also curious to hear what you thought of the bike at the gym

Not a great day for me eating-wise here, but otherwise SO successful for a Sunday. I got groceries done early, started meal prepping, took 2 hours on the roof to sunbathe, got more meal prep done, vacuumed my kitchen, did some nice stretchy yoga, took an hour long bath, and refilled my 2 water filters in my fridge + all 8 of my ice cube trays. [I am usually SO bad about that last chore so this is a triumph].

Ready for bed on TIME on a SUNDAY (who AM I), and looking forward to waking up early for my 2nd week of morning swim sessions.

Happy Monday, I had a good weekend, although my weight is up this morning and I am not exctly sure why. I feel like I ate okay this weekend.

Saturday, was exercise, then a facial, then out to celebrate my husbands birthday.
Sunday, we went on a morning stroll at the nature center, then to Costco, then home to food prep. I did 30 minutes of yoga, then 5 minutes of Pilates.

The Yoga app I use, just released a pilates app that is still in Beta, I just did 5 minutes, because I wanted to see what it was like, I like it. It gives you all the important reminders, and it's just very good at explaining everything. It's also totally customizable, and the best part is, once you subscribe to one app, all of the other ones are included, so I don't even have to pay for it. They also have hiit, barre , and meditation.

Have a wonderful day !

@Heathere244 have a safe and fun trip!!

@Kali225 were you able to get up early this morning and get your swimming in?

I am exhausted today. I set my alarm to get up at 1am and look for the meteors with the peak of the perseids, but when I got outside it was cloudy. Should have looked at the weather first 😂 Then it took me almost another hour to get back to sleep 😴

@lauren_989 yes ma'am! My goal this week is to reach 30 or more laps, but today was just another 25. I was a little slow getting out of bed. Luckily, the temp in the pool was extra warm so it was a nice way to start the day.

I've had a good dinner. Going to allow myself to finish off a serving of ice cream before getting ready for bed. I had a productive day at work and left around 4:40pm which felt great. Going to try to do that tomorrow as well - I am aiming for laps in the morning and dance cardio with my girlfriends in the evening.

@Heathere244 good luck with your driving!

A friend is celebrating a 30-pound weight loss, and I asked him if he had any wisdom. He used the term "hobbit". As in his eating was very hobbity: a combination of habit and hobby. Once he realized that he set out to break down those bad habits and move away from the "food noise". I kind of like that approach.

@Kali225 They may do some minor prize awarding here for certain things but I've never seen in that format where there's actual ribbons and the entries were clearly from local folks in the county... it was cute to see someone's homemade chocolate chip cookies there with a bite out of them for judging! We really enjoyed ourselves.

@StayFITTer I think the classes do have an E for explicit so I imagine if you steer clear of those you'd be okay. I presume that's just the music and doesn't speak to how crass the instructor may be though and some are more so than others

Yesterday I had a work from home day and due to a meal kit delivery accident I had two meals to cook - pork tacos at lunch and chorizo burgers for dinner. Normally Brad does the cooking so that was a lot for me. But I managed and the food was good.

Soccer tonight so I'll get a good run around. I also got my 10K steps yesterday which is always much harder on a work from home day so I'm glad about that. I walked my dog at lunch and then walked to a friend's house - they just moved to our community and they're so close to us! Was great to see their new house.

Have a great day!

I'm not very motivated atm, so I'm dropping out.

You have been doing great! But I know motivation can come and go. Would you like to move to the support team for a month, or completely drop?

@lauren_989 great loss!

@ashleycarole86 which meal kit do you guys use? I have been toying with the idea of getting one at some point, but I travel a fair amount on the weekends and I just worry about 1. forgetting to cancel, 2. things going bad, 3. too many portions for just me.

Having a good day here. Got up to 28 laps this morning in the pool, and left work on time after getting my big project for the week in draft order for a catch up meeting tomorrow. I realized around 2pm that I hadn't had breakfast.. so I took my string cheese home for a snack instead. Not really feeling hungry for dinner at the moment. Dance cardio in about 30 min, maybe I will have an appetite after that.

Hi Waistaways 😊

I hope everyone is OK 😊
I'm enjoying my holiday at the moment and for once we have a beautiful weather ☀️

@lauren_989 can I please have this week as stay the same, please? I forgot to tell you I'm on holiday and won't be able to weigh in, sorry 😢
I'll be back home this Saturday so everything will be back to normal.

Thank you ❤️
