This photograph is proof...

quick check-in. A very successful day for eating over here, and the whole day started with getting in the pool for 25 laps at 6:12am. I also did my usual tuesday dance cardio workout with my girlfriends over zoom. Ready to wash up for bed. plenty going on this week, and it's getting expensive - I bought a dress for a wedding, booked my November vacation, trying to book the flights now, bought myself a concert ticket for this Saturday, and had 2 amazon orders coming in this week which is pretty unusual for me.

@ashleycarole86 love the pic!! way to go

@lauren_989 with a couple people on passes and such for the last week of August, it was just you and I who reported a full week of steps

Congrats on meeting your target five days in that last week. I missed my target every day.. d'oh! But some days were just by a few hundred...

Overall you had 271,177 steps for the month of August and I had 238,019. Your target at 7k/day was 217,000 m3 so you blew your goal out of the water. Truly phenomenal!

@ashleycarole86 - France?! That's awesome! I hope you have so much fun (and share pictures with us when you get back).

@gidgitgoescrzy - Happy (belated) birthday! I hope it was a wonderful day.

@lauren_989 - I'm a couple of days late to the party, but I will start working on the ab challenge. I had a bit of a core workout at CrossFit yesterday which made me realize how much I need to continue working on my core.

I've had a hectic last week. On Thursday I was sick. I had zero energy, and I mean zero. This more or lasted through Sunday. I was able to play pickleball, but it was 45 minutes instead of three hours worth. I did go grocery shopping on Friday afternoon, but that wore me out. I also did a memorial dart night to celebrate the life of one of the guys in our dart league, but that wiped me out for all of Sunday. Finally, Monday I felt like I had some energy. I played pickleball, went out to lunch, and then over to my sister's house. She convinced me to adopt a puppy that my niece found abandoned on the side of the road. I'll pick him up this weekend.

I was hoping for a little better since I know it was all sick weight, but I'll take it.

I'm still not great with food, as my tummy seems to love carbs right now.

I rowed for 20 min last night and I upped my resistance to 4. Tonight is a 20 min video, then pilates.

It's also the start of favorite time of year... Football season, Go RAVENS !

Have a great day !

@Kali225 - If I lived near you, I would 100% go to that concert with you! It's bound to be a great concert!

@lauren_989 - Great job on the great day!

Since today is one of the greatest days of the year with the NFL football season officially starting, I want to know who your favorite team is, college or professional, if you have one.

I am a fan of both the Packers and Seahawks (Packers #1, Seahawks close #2) for professional football and the Oregon Ducks for college. I grew up in Oregon, hence the love for the Ducks and the Seahawks, but chose the Packers as a kid to be my favorite team because they were green and gold (my hometown colors) and got to wear cheese on their heads.

Lastly, here is a puppy pic. I think we're going to name him Kilo.

@maddawgmadsen He is super cute, 1st thing that came to mind when I saw him was Scrappy Doo.

As for football I am Ravens fan 100% , although I grew up in Redskins territory, so they are okay.

I am not a fan of your Seahawks though, simply because they stole our DC, but I do think he will be a successful head coach.

Well - tomorrow is weigh-in and I'm not feeling too confident Yesterday was a eat all the things kind of day, but today has been better. We'll see! I have been on my feet a lot today, with all kinds of running around - and tomorrow I have my first meeting/rehearsal with a new quartet I have been putting together. Can't wait!

Not a football fan, except when I'm visiting my stepmom who puts the "atic" in fan!! I have sort of learned enough about the game to enjoy it, but only with her. She's a Patriots person, but I decided for no reason at all that I like the Eagles.

@Kali225 - I put my alarm across the room so I have to get out of bed and make a conscious decision to turn it off. It doesn't always work, but it helps. Way to go on getting 30 laps in the pool! I am not a swimmer of any kind so that sounds hard and impressive! Lastly, getting out of the 250 decade before the end of the year sounds completely doable. I know you can do it!

One year ago, I was almost 10 pounds lighter than I am now. It's a little disheartening, but I know I did it to myself. Why must beer be so tasty? My goal is to get back into the low-mid 170s before the end of the year.

I hope everyone had a great day today! It was busy at work and I am so glad it's the weekend!!!

@Kali225 I also will put my phone/alarm across the room. It definitely makes me get up and most of the time I won't lay back down. I'm also one who sets 4 alarms just in case....

We have some overdue weigh-ins from ealier this week:

Good morning!

Apologies for the late post; yesterday was a busy day. A short week of work really felt like the longest week for me 😅

A great week of workouts - Wednesday was my rest day, and I did strength workouts on the other days of the week. I have my spin class this morning followed by cooking club in the evening. The theme is breakfast for dinner, and a lot of people are making pastries. I think I may bring a Tupperware container to take things home because I doubt I will be able to eat something by everyone.

Then tomorrow I have my yoga class and a day of cleaning and reading.
