@katmary71 now that I know that Ty is a veggie eater it will make it easier, we can share L O L. That's so funny that your cats ate micro greens. It sounds like your Reno trip was great, but super fast! Looks like the concert was fun, love love love your pictures! I would be super tempted with the Mexican food as well.
@TeresaW2024 your potlucks always amaze me!, Controlling oneself at the desert table is always a challenge
@Trooworld some of my classes really are not difficult at all lol! That Yin class that I took on Friday, you just lay there and hold a stretch for a few minutes. If you haven't done it for a while you really feel it! I took a new class this morning. A friend of mine really wanted to take it and she wanted company, I figured out I really need it. It is core, balance and stretch. I didn't realize how horrible my balance is! Where are you going to put your pirate ship? That sounds super cool!
Well… I hate to say it, I dropped out of that 5% challenge. Every time I go on there I am always searching and hunting trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. I do it in the evening and my brain just does not have the bandwidth for it, I am way too tired. I am going to just check in here on a daily basis with the things that I really know I need to work on and check them off. I hope that's OK. I will do it at the end of the day, just so I am being accountable somewhere. Is that OK if I do it here? This is what it looks like.

I am hoping to do it at the end of every day. I think if I just have to check these things off at the end of each day, I will be successful keeping up.
I also stopped at the store and bought some more convenient fruits. I love melons, pineapples, mangoes, all fruits that take time to prepare. I think that's why some days I don't get my fruits in. I stopped at the store and got seven apples and a bag of mini oranges. That should make it easy for me to get my two fruits a day. I just really have to get back in the habit of these things I used to do them!5 -

WEIGH IN UPDATE
PLEASE WEIGH IN NOW: @megnolia82
Reminder To Weigh In Tomorrow To The Following: @AmbersWay @Jactop @bobboyardee0 -
@DrewsAnna I love your outfit you look beautiful! I don't blame you for not getting in the cake fight!
@micaroo4 Have a wonderful vacation, happy birthday to Rich!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Yes I garden in winter, the fall stuff will keep going so it's cool weather stuff. Have a wonderful time at your concert and potluck!
@trooworld Oh boy so if they use fentanyl you know without it you'd be hurting! Thank you! When is your trip to Spain is it scheduled? It's Spain not Mexico right? I'm like Violet I bark at people when I get overstimulated too, lol. I'm curious to see how your technique goes!
@laurelfit57 I'm sorry to hear the challenge didn't work out. We'd love to have you check in here daily!Apples and oranges are a great idea, I'm sure you'll do great getting your fruit.
Hi team! Am having a pretty good day but my deer “friend” is back, poor Jasper was whimpering earlier staring out the window and I saw the deer staring in the window when I got up, hahahaha. It's being a PITA insisting being in the yard, I at least harvested all the kale and Swiss chard before he does. I skipped pancakes this morning and just had eggs and a sausage at breakfast. Next up is the charity volunteer appreciation so I'm heading out there soon. Have a great Monday!1 -

@micaroo4- beautiful pix!
@laurelfit57 is right, the %5 is complicated- not in what you are doing, but too many threads to post in. However, I am feeling energized by having a very specific goal in mind for once, so I will keep on with it.
Have a good week!

@laurelfit57 I would love it if we Baptists could find another way to socialize with each other without requiring casseroles and dessert tables. Wishful thinking, I’m afraid but I did really well this time.
I didn’t even try to do the 5% club because I don’t spend enough time on my computer other than early mornings. I think you holding yourself accountable here is totally fine. 
@Katmary71 What if you got some deer spray to keep them away? I also heard that they don’t like human pee, either. Just saying!
@micaroo4 Great pictures! What a blessing to be able to walk in such beauty.
@trooworld, how are the Spanish lessons coming along? Violet and Maggie seem to have the same temperament when overly stimulated. I can’t wait to see your Halloween display!
Good morning! Yesterday's chorale group was fantastic! Everyone was blown away by how good these college kids were. The potluck went fine, and I didn’t eat that much. I only had one small piece of German chocolate cake from the dessert table, so that was a win! I’m starting week 5 of my 8-week workout program and plan to push myself by upping my weights when I can. I want every muscle to be crying this week from my efforts. Those pants I want to fit into for the lady's tea will fit! Have a great day!

@Cornanda – Perfect Pooch Pic! Nice 2# loss…glad hubby suggested the shake up!
@gemwolf110 – Awesome aurora pics!
@lislisa123 – Glad to hear you’re ok and far enough away from the storms.
@micaroo4 – Happy Birthday to Rich and I hope you have a blast in Maine. Gorgeous pics!
@laurelfit57 – The added cost of buying prepared fruits and veggies is worth it. Better than paying less for unprepped ones and having them go bad and wasting the money.
@Bethanie0825 – Awesome loss!
@baodell17724 – You are rockin’ the losses!
@DrewsAnna – Looks like it was a fun party!
@Katmary71 – You sent me several YouTube links for seated resistance exercises. So glad the concert was a blast! So does the rented garden have fencing up to keep the animals away?
@trooworld – I won’t even mention the movie Awake… Can’t wait to see your Halloween display!
@morenin – Hang in there. You know it’s not real weight gain.
@TeresaW2024 – Nazarenes love potlucks, too LOLs. I thought of you yesterday when my pastor announced our next one hahahaha!
I was really hoping for a loss with my weigh in this morning, but holding steady is better than gaining. Trying to look at the positive side. I just realized my trip to Colorado Springs is in just one month. I was really hoping to be down more, but I’ll focus on getting rid of 5 pounds by then. I’ll be visiting my niece for a super quick trip. Flying there Nov 8 and spending 2 full days then flying back on Nov 11. I know she’s planned a train trip to Pike’s Peak. Other than that, I’ll be hugging and loving on my niece and great niece and nephew.
I decided this year that for my 31 Nights of Halloween movies, I’m not planning what to watch in advance. It’s whatever I’m in the mood for. So for my horror friends on here, this is what I’ve watched so far. You can always give me recommendations, too

@laurelfit57 i thought I’d let you know, I’m bowing out of the 5% challenge. Way too confusing for me. Hope it goes well for you.1
-
I have been thinking, in here my weigh in is Wednesday, in the 5% challenge it's Saturday. Should I change my weigh in to Saturday or should I stick with two weigh in days because it'll keep me more accountable.
I probably should stick with two, but then it could be confusing.🤔🤔🤔
What do y'all think?2 -
I weigh myself daily, so for me it doesn't matter. But if you only want to weigh yourself once each week, just choose the weigh in day that works for you, and post that weight on the weigh in thread of any and all challenges that you participate in, no matter what their "official" weigh in day might be. So if you like Wednesday as your day, weigh yourself on Wednesday, and post that weight on Saturday for the 5% Challenge. Whatever you choose, you should be doing what works best for YOU.4

@trooworld please take pictures when you are finished, your pirate ship and everything sounds amazing! Good for you for all the blood donations! Many years ago I had Hep C. Back then, the treatment was chemo and it was not that affective for many people. I belonged to an online chat group for patients going through treatment. Many of us got very anaemic and needed blood transfusions. So I am always very grateful when people are donating blood. I have seen the link for keeping track of steps with the team. Is it very complicated?
@TeresaW2024 that is hilarious, I was raised in the United church and we never had that many potlucks. I didn't know how much I was missing out🤣. I am not on my computer much either, and have thought it was just going to be a quick check-in, I should have asked more questions. I have a hard enough time coming here on a regular basis😳. I know those pants that you want to wear to the ladies tea will look fabulous on you!
@Vegan4lyfe2012 small attainable goals are a very good thing! It sounds like your trip to Colorado Springs is going to be good medicine for the soul♥️
@19shmoo69 I bowed out as well. I need simplicity in my life :-). I am just going to hold myself accountable here, I have made up a little daily check-in thing.
It was a good and quiet day here. I got the dogs out for a long walk after the gym this morning and played in the park for a while. I did some meal prep, colder weather is coming in, I love chilli, soups and stews.
I have started to do embroidery in the evening to keep my hands busy and away from snacking. I'm going to make each one of my kids a little Christmas thing. Only problem is my eyes don't see as good as they used to. I have ordered a magnifier with A light. It is supposed to arrive today.

WEIGH IN UPDATE
PLEASE LOG WEIGH IN NOW: @AmbersWay @Jactop
Reminder To Weigh In Tomorrow To The Following: @FushiaKat
@DrewsAnna The bad thing about weighing in Saturday is if you're late it's the last day of the week to weigh in before results are tallied and you won't be a top winner if it's not entered in time for the totals to be done. I do get it will be easier with two groups so it's up to you, if you'd like me to change it I can ask for you to be moved.0 -

@Katmary71 I thought about it some more and I'm going to keep my Wednesday weigh in. Thank you
My drs appts took a lot longer than I thought they were going to, so I didn't make it home in time to go out for a walk before the rain. However, I did walk from one office to the other and then back again. So, not a total loss.2 -

@drewsanna- It's my understanding that you can weigh any day you want for 5%, you just have to post it by Sat.
@laurelfit57 - forgot to say this yesterday. During PT I became aware of how bad my balance is. I've been meaning to look for some mobility/balance type workouts. PT also suggested practicing by brushing my teeth on one foot.

Good morning fitfam, what an eventful day it has already been. I was awaken with my daughter hollering. My son had just got home from work, sat down, fell out of the chair because he was having a really bad seizure. Ambulance, ER, finally home. It’s 7am, I need sleep but I can’t fall asleep.4
-
How do you think the quality and duration of sleep impact weight loss efforts, and what are some strategies to improve sleep that might enhance weight management?
All the experts say proper sleep is vital for total health not just weight loss. Unfortunately I don’t sleep well or long enough. The resting part of sleep is what the body needs to properly repair itself.

I’m so ready to get back to my routine. My son and his fiancee got married last Saturday and we had 3 weeks to plan the wedding 🤪 This is the first day I’ve had off in forever so I’m going to take some guilt free me time today and catch up on reading the 179 posts I’ve missed since I last logged in.4 -
@laurelfit57 – I love that you’re making Christmas gifts…and bonus that it helps keep you from snacking! Those gnomes are adorable…be sure to take a picture for us when it’s completed!
@trooworld – Halloween décor is fun, but don’t stress out about it. So far, the only thing I have displayed is a wooden sign on my porch LOLs. I keep “Albert” (my skeleton) in my car cuz it’s funny to see people’s reactions. Other than that, it is what it is. The movie Awake is about someone that gets open heart surgery but the anesthesia only paralyzes him. He’s still conscious throughout it. He does find something out, tho. If you can handle it, I’d recommend it. I did enjoy the remake of Salem’s Lot. So far, if I had to choose a few favorites of what I’ve watched this month, I’d have to go with the original Speak No Evil, Glorious, You’ll Never Find Me and the one I watched last night – Daddy’s Head. How exciting that you’ll be moving forward with the surgery – congrats!
@19shmoo69 – Oh your poor son (and the rest of you). I hope he’s ok now and resting.
@Jactop – Whew! Whirlwind dying down...definitely enjoy your “me” time!
I had a great day yesterday. Came in under by 2 points, but didn’t feel hungry. I’m trying to stick to unprocessed foods (for the most part, anyway). Staying focused and aware. I knew Hunter and family were away for the day, so I left work at 2:30. Relaxed for a little at home before heading into the craft room to design and prep for my card class tonight. That kept me busy until about 8pm, so no snacking happened during that time. Definitely don’t want to get my cardstock icky from food, right? Hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday!
How do you think the quality and duration of sleep impact weight loss efforts, and what are some strategies to improve sleep that might enhance weight management?
Everything I’ve read says it impacts every aspect of our lives. I have been making an effort to get to bed earlier lately. I used to go to sleep between 1am to 2am. The past few days I’ve been making it to bed between 11pm and midnight. Baby steps 1 -

I can't wait to get my Trike; I've read the owner's manual four times online. It won't be ready until sometime in November and then my husband has to go and pick it up. I love the color purple, I bought a bike helmet and a couple of locks. This is what it looks like. I have 3 doctors' appointments this week. I'm feeling good, I got over being sick and my pulled muscle is not bothering me anymore.
Have a great week!

If nothing else, when I sleep well I have the energy to move around more and more resistance to bad eating. When I've slept badly, I tend to be a turtle, and prone to overeating.2
