Steps 7/31 10,756 8/1 16,236 Saturday had a nice day with friends which included some drinks and pizza so I really tried hard yesterday to eat less and lots of water. Yesterday I took a decent size walk ( definitely not Megan sized), shot baskets with the kids, short bike ride with my daughter and hit the volleyball around…

Hello and welcome to the new members!! My name is Rachel and I am 44. I am currently a stay at home (hopefully not for long) mom of two kids, one very old dog and two naughty kitties. I live in Massachusetts. I love the beach and hate the cold winters. Like many others my weight has gone up and down my whole life. I have…

Steps 7/29 12,869 7/30 14,962 Took a hike on Thursday with the kids which ended up being a big mistake with the mosquitos. Yesterday took them to play pickleball with friends to get out. I did my strength workout last night since my back was feeling better. I think the bloat is finally gone. No longer feeling gross so that…

PW 182.6 CW: 183.4 Steps 7/27 9,712 7/28 10,439 I think the jump is bloating from eating junk of Tuesday when we took kids to a Picnic grounds with water slides. They didn’t have any good options so I needed to make due. Still feeling bloated two days later but we had fun!! Skipped workouts a couple of days since my back…

Steps 7/25 11,887 7/26 9,169 Sorry I have been lazy with posting I have less alone time with the kids home. Sunday did get some time to shop for family photos for when we go away in late Aug. I have a love hate of photos of myself. Yesterday spent some time looking for jobs and got my workout and some cleaning done around…

Steps 7/23 12,733 7/24 13,547 Uneventful day Friday and yesterday went to the beach and an outdoor showing of jaws last night. Been getting my strength workouts in every other day this week.

Steps 7/21 12,145 7/22 9,943 Too not much exciting but did take the kids to volunteer at an awesome organization that helps kids that we used to go annually prior to covid. Last summer with the covid rules my son was too young. Good to switch it up and give back. I love the days when I am so busy and no time for snacking.…

Hahahah so sorry CW 182.6 not sure how I missed that!

PW: 184 CW: 126.6 Steps 7/19 7,501 7/20 11,846 This is a big loss for me. I had good steps last week and worked on my water intake. I needed this after finding out the other day I didn’t get a job that sounded promising. Oh well I will keep moving forward. Made a yummy dinner last night skinnytaste honey balsamic chicken…

Steps 7/17 18,674 7/18 17,030 Sick of this weather pattern we have been in and changing every few mins. Finally got my workout out in and some cleaning I had been procrastinating on.

Steps 7/15 11,926 7/16 11,105 Nothing exciting to report been a bit lazy on the workout front. Spent some time at the beach Thursday with my mom & Daughter and we went back last night for dinner and grilled burgers. Everyday feels like Groundhog Day, I really hoping I get one of these jobs I am interviewing for. Hope…

Steps 11,820 I am loving having my daughter home with me while my son is at baseball camp. She is fun to run errands with and do projects. She got her a new backpack yesterday for middle school in the fall, growing up so quick. Quick dinner since son had basketball last night and it was super humid out.

PW 184 CW 184 Steps 7/12 5,976 7/13 17,535 Not sure what happened Monday for steps probably due to more rain. Such a rainy July here! Yesterday I made up for it with doing workout and walks. Focusing on water starting today, I got one of those silly water bottles that tells you where you should be based on time of day. So…

I thought I posted but sorry if I did not. 7/8 15,860 7/9 12,277 Thank you!

Steps 7/10 18,226 7/11 22,995 Awesome summer weekend, hopefully the steps were enough to help my eating which wasn’t ideal. Went into the city Saturday and checked out an outdoor spot that I have been wanting to try for years. We didn’t have lunch instead had an early dinner. Yesterday I went for a Long Beach walk with no…

Steps 12,277 Stayed in all days yesterday except for taking the kids for their physical. We had had heavy rain from the tropical storm move through. Started phase 2 of my workout program and watched movies with the kids.

PW 184.8 CW 184 Steps 7/6 13,563 7/7 13,174 Sorry for the delayed update, this week is flying by. Mostly same stuff kids play dates and interviews in between. Lost last weeks bloat. Working on squeezing my work outs in. Yesterday afternoon I did it after the beach in my hot bedroom with no ac on before I ran out the door…

Steps 14,331 Got in a little walk and some relaxation after all the parties. Weird weather couldn’t decided what it wanted to do.

Steps 7/3 12,217 7/4 5,393 Fitbit died Fun filled weekend filled with parties and fireworks. I did work out both days but eating has not been great.

Amazing job and happy birthday! I hope enjoy your day!!

Steps 7/1 12,473 7/2 12,516 Busy couple of days with more calls and more playdates. Yesterday took my son to the movies since we had been home all week and rainy day. I brought my lunch so I didn’t eat crap. Home others have better weather than we do here for 4th of July weekend. Feel like we got ripped off for long…

6/29 10,784 6/30 8,470 PW:184 CW:184.8 Sorry I have been MiA. So busy with interviews and kids home. Keeping on my workouts every other day but still no walks. Heat is finally breaking with rain scheduled the next two days. My eating need work as scale is ticking back up.

6/27 9,068 6/28 8,378 Crazy heat wave here through tomorrow. Spending lots of time inside and trying to find a job. I have been mostly doing my workout program every other day not on purpose but just seems to happen that way.

6/25 9,364 6/26 704 Clearly my Fitbit died yesterday. I went down to cape cop Friday afternoon with my girl friends for some much needed time away. Lots of food and drinks but just what I needed. I did my workout Friday am before I left.

Steps 17,637 A lot of of steps for only a short walk on the beach and painted some closet doors with my daughter 🤷‍♀️ I am still over cooking. Been pulling out things from the freezer. Last night was a chili hubby made god knows when.

Steps 8,810 Got moving early to take my daughter to have last two baby teeth pulled. They sedated her so she was loopy after. We laid low for most of the day. She insisted on frozen yogurt later in the day, which I had with them even though it isn’t may favorite.

PW:183.4 CW: 184 Steps 8,736 Boring day yesterday but did get my workout in. I am getting lazy with my food. I need to get it back together.

Steps 16,174 Yesterday I had an interview and zoom wasn’t working so it was over the phone. I think a lot of my steps came from nervous energy before and during the call. I used to pace around my house when I had work phone calls. I went to the beach to get my kids but didn’t stay long since it got really cloudy and was…

Steps 11,359 Another fun busy day, swimming then rented a boat with friends for Father’s Day. Glad it’s Monday since the weekends have been so busy and just trying to do my best with eating. I did my workout before we headed out for the day. Been so busy I have had little time to read everyone’s posts 😩

Steps 4,690 Yesterday was my birthday and spent the day doing fun stuff. Picked up my new desk/chair to complete my remodeled room. It is so pretty now and bring me joy versus the old kids playroom that looked so messy when you first walked in the house. Met a friend for coffee and went to one of my favorite summer spots…
