I was MIA last week. I didn't post a weigh in or my steps. I actually had forgotten what day it was, and I had a whole lot of farm chores to do. So here goes my update. IDebraK Weigh in: Saturdays Start weight: 159 PW: 120.4 CW: 123.4 Goal Weight: 122 Goal Zone: 118-126 That Mexican food last night ... OH! The sodium!…

IDebraK Weigh In: Saturday Starting Weight: 159 PW: 120.4 CW: 120.6 Goal Weight: 122 Goal Zone: 118-126 Life with a new puppy is very interesting. So far, all dogs are getting along great. There have been a few spats, but is usually just a few low growls. No teeth showing or violence. There have been quite a few 5am potty…

This merchandising team is in its infancy. It's only a year old. We are solo in our stores. The goal is 1 person per store. I think extreme long term is more like a Lowe's or Home Depot with actual teams per stores. I was a Merchandising supervisor with Home Depot before taking the position at Tractor Supply. Same pay.…

IDebraK Weigh In: Saturday Starting weight: 159 PW: 122.4 CW: 120.4 Goal Zone: 118-126 Steps: Sat: 9985 Sun: 4243 Mon: 12911 Tues: 25380 Wed: 17605 Thurs: 11229 Fri: 5967 We did a thing yesterday. Should help that step count out A LOT! We got ourselves a Mastiff puppy. She's absolutely beautiful. So far, her introduction…

@timibotkin Tractor Supply's merchandising team is still in it's newborn stage. It's only a year old. We are a team of 8 working 16 stores. Each of us works in two different stores ... Alone. This week wasn't too bad. Spring resets are murder. Next week, we get to set chick days.

Songs that make me move: Coming Undone by Korn Dragula by Rob Zombie Numb by Linkin Park Timber by Pitbull and Kesha Rollin' by Limp Bizkit The Dope Show by Marilyn Manson Low by Flo Rida Bawitdaba by Kid Rock Something Bad by Miranda Lambert & Carrie Underwood I know... My taste in music is pretty diverse. LOL

IDebraK Weigh In: Saturday Starting weight: 159 PW: 124.8 CW: 122.4 Goal Weight: 122 Goal Zone: 118-126 Glad to see the scale go back down to close to that go back to almost goal "number". Still in the zone so I'm happy with that. I try not get too tied up on a number, but it's a mindset that is hard to break. Steps this…

I keep gaining and losing the same 2 pounds, and I tend to make weigh in night my "date night". I feel like I am making better decisions when it comes to food, and ate a salad for dinner last night. The scale was up another 2 pounds. I try to also be mindful of non-food rewards. I have the FitBit Versa 3 on hold. That is…

IDebraK Weigh in: Saturday Starting Weight: 159 Goal Zone: 118-126 PW: 122.8 CW: 124.8 Weight is up but still in zone. Had a super stressful work week. Setting stores up for spring with a lot of fixture moves. While I do love my job, and I actually like the pressure of getting everything done, I also hate it. It's a…

@Beautyofdreams , I am currently doing a virtual run that lasts all year. I committed to 2,022 miles in the year. It's a Pluto "race". Not really a race, just a commitment. The temptation is certainly there at Tractor Supply. LOL I love and hate chick days.

I was at around that the other day, so I had to google how many miles I'd have to "travel" to get the 30,000. The answer is about 4 miles at 3MPH. I went to the gym to get those 4 miles in on the treadmill.

I just need a core! LOL I work out with my sister-in-law 5 days a week. She laughs when we do ab day. I tell her I only have 1. I've never owned horses. On my accidental farm, cows and horses are two things that haven't crossed my path yet. I do love spending time with my sister-in-law's horses though. They aren't ridable,…

@ljdanny - I am so jealous of your foot of snow. We got a bit of "snow" here on Friday night. My dogs have destroyed pillows that left more white stuff in the yard.

IDebraK Weigh Day: Saturday Starting Weight: 159 Goal Weight: 122 Goal Zone: 118-126 PW: 124 CW: 122.8 Craved tacos all day yesterday. I knew the sodium count. I didn't care. I made tacos. Running on a sleep deficit. The grandbaby that was due in February is on her way here now! They should have moved the due date on the…

@callsitlikeiseeit ... Of my 5 dogs, None of them can be trusted with the other animals! Lol I did have one turkey fly over the fence in to the dogs. When I looked outside, Precious (the dog) had a mouth full of feathers, and then I saw Myrtle (the turkey) in the yard. All of the other dogs were staying away. That bird…

@callsitlikeiseeit - I see you at the Tractor Supply! LOL You have my attention, not only with that beautiful pup, but that goat food too. My dogs would kill the goats in a minute. That being said, my pygmy goat (Millie) torments the dogs at the fence.

@jugar ... I love riding horses! I haven't been riding in years.

I can't believe that I did it! Actually went over a bit! I just love the little badges and stuff with the Fitbit. It says my next challenge is 50 floors in one day. Guess I'll be on the stair climber next. LOL

I DID IT!

Weight is up a little this week. From 121.8 to 124. I'm still in my zone. Eating hasn't really changed much. I did get in a few more carbs than usual. I also added weights to my workout. Not too long ago, I had to buy new clothes. When this journey started, I was in a size 16. I didn't buy clothes until I was in an 8. I…

@MotylekOkruchy I have a super strong vitamin regimen. This is my 5th negative test since the onset of Covid. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, a close friend, my daughter, my son, and my daughter-in-law have all had it. I tested negative every time. So far, he's had a 1-day fever, 3 days of body aches, and now the sore…

IDebraK Weigh In: Saturday Start Weight: 159 PW: 121.8 CW: 124 Looking back at my graph for weight, it looks like around the 3rd week of every month, I have a slight spike. I don't have a period anymore even though all of the facilities. So it could be that time. I'm still in my zone, so I take what the scale gives me.…

@jugar - Emus are so funny. One of the chickens ran out of her pen while we were putting in hay. While we were chasing that chicken, Emu was just doing zoomies all over the yard. I wish I would have videoed that, but I was laughing so hard I couldn't even stand up. Her name is Emu. LOL Officially, it's Julia, but we call…

It's pretty quiet in here. How is everyone doing with maintenance? I just reached my actual goal number of 122. My zone is 118-126. 8 pounds seems reasonable. My name is Debra. I am 49 years old and 5 feet tall (tall?) ok- whatever. I started in this group in June of last year. 7 months to lose 37 pounds. I may tweak the…

IDebraK Weigh In: Saturday Starting Weight: 159 PW: 123.2 CW: 121.8 I stepped on the scale at least a half dozen times to make sure that was right. Then I moved the scale and did it again. THAT'S RIGHT!? WHAT! I've been a member of MFP FOREVER! I have set and reset and set goals again and again over the past 8 years. I…

I sent you a friend request. I look stupid in a skirt, but I have pom-poms ready and can be your cheerleader. :wink:

My name is Debra. I am 49 years old and only 5 feet tall. At my highest ever weight, I was 206 in 2010. I joined Weight Watchers and lost down to 124. In 2014, I got divorced. From then until now, weight started to slowly creep back up. In June of last year, I found this group. This is the only group I am in on MFP. I…

Is anyone else in here doing C25K? I'm just starting it for the 1000th time. Hoping to get to full marathon by the end of the year. I was a runner before a knee injury 3 years ago. I'm pulling back into it... SLOWLY. Joined a gym yesterday (for that free enrollment). I get off work after dark. I live on a dead end road…

New Year. New Month. New Week. Resolutions: 1. Work week steps 13,000 2. Weekend steps 10,000 3. Start Couch to 5K 4. Run 4 Virtual races So, I did a go big or go home thing yesterday. I signed up for a virtual race to Pluto. I've committed to 2022 steps in 2022. That averages moving a little over 5.5 miles a day. All of…

I feel like it's time to start the couch to 5K again. I used to be an avid runner. A knee injury…
