For some reason, my edit access was removed on the spreadsheet, but I have asked to be added back and at that point I'll be happy to make any needed updates! Here's a little bit of good news - I went back to the grocery store after a year away today, and I took my blood pressure. It was 109/77 - lowest it's been in quite…

Thursday May 13 Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes Water: 2080 Did strength stuff instead of walking, and should have done both! I am going to weigh in tomorrow instead of today because we ate Indian food for dinner and I can't even get my rinsg off this morning (so much sodium I guess) Hopefully not a horror story on…

Wednesday May 12 Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes Water: 80+ Steps: 6602 Added a second walk at night to catch up some steps for the week and because I needed it. A good day all the way around - body, mind and spirit

Tuseday May 11 Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes Water: 80+ Steps: 4536 Started my day with a 7:30am appointment with the orthodontist so didn't get my walk. I had to pick something up in our little town after work so I just decided to walk around town. Haven't done that in a year+. I forgot what a cool place our town…

YES, that is so me. I'm good if the bad stuff isn't in the house and I can grab celery or carrots, but hubby bought ALL the good stuff when my son was here this weekend. For me, pita chips are crack.

Monday May 10 Tracked: yes Under: no (grabbed a handful of pita chips waiting for dinner that put me over!) Exercise: yes Water: 80+ Steps: 5938

SO EXCITED to see that my amazing teammates put us in FIRST PLACE last week!!!! I am sorry again that I was no help whatsoever....but I'm back on track and I think we can take every week in May!!!

Sunday 5/9/21 Tracked - yes Under - yes Exercise - yes Water - 80+ Had a great dinner with my parents and son, and stayed under for the day with some planning. Just dropped my son off at the airport this morning and I am happy/sad. He is going back to finish up the final four days of his sophomore year and will stay there…

CW: 163.0 PW: 161.8 I'm sorry guys - I think I can get it back in line this coming week. Honestly, I was expecting to see 165 on there so that's encouraging. I'm off for a long walk!

This is not going to be pretty - off to weigh in this morning. Hubby's been making all of son's (HIGH CARB) faves and I've been eating right along, plus no exercise for two days...you reap what you sow. Hoping next week will be better! Thursday 5/6 steps: 1451 track: yes under: yes exercise: no Friday 5/7 steps: 1926…

I'm gonna weigh in tomorrow if that's ok. I already had breakfast with my boy this morning! I don't think it's going to be a good weigh in with all the carbs I've loved this week, either way! Thursday, May 6 Water: 80+ Exercise: no Tracked: yes Under: yes

@Krysless2 my friend who owns three yoga studios got that boxing thing over the summer (along with a divorce) and her body has TRANSFORMED!!! She is fitter than I've ever seen her despite her being a yoga/spinning/rowing/core instructor and studio owner for many years. She looks 10 years younger and vavavoom. I may have to…

5/5/21 Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes Steps: 6107 Water: 80+ So my husband a few weeks ago asked me to take tomorrow off for a Mother's Day surprise. Well, my surprise arrived early when the doorbell rang last night and MY SON was there! He flew home from MA to surprise me. I am SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (he's in…

I don't use collagen, but I take a Glucosamine with MSM supplement to help my joints. Whenever I think I don't need it and stop for awhile, I notice a difference, so I guess it helps some!

Wednesday 5/4 Tracked: yes Exercise: yes Under: yes Water: 80+ Steps: 5879

Fair enough - you are correct that DeSantis never said vaccinations were stupid (but a lot of people did). I do feel like he downplayed COVID a lot, especially with young people. As a result, my friend's son partied like it was 1999 at FSU and got COVID, too, which was fine for him, but he 'shared' it with his dad who had…

Well I do live in Florida, where apparently a good portion of our residents (and our governor) believe that COVID never really was a big deal and that vaccinations are stupid...my line is 'it's all good until you kill grandma'. I think my stylist's attitude of 'I don't believe in getting vaccinated or wearing a mask' has…

WELCOME to all the new TBBT team members! So glad to have you hear with us. Today I am going to the dentist for the first time in two years - I can't wait to get my teeth cleaned! And in less great news, I got my hair cut last week for the first time in two years and yesterday got notice that the stylist tested positive…

Catching up here for MUAC: Sunday 5/2 Tracked: yes Exercise: yes Under: yes Water: 80+ Steps: 3431

@AB0215 Ashley - so sorry to hear of your loss. Please be gentle with your heart - we'll get all caught up here in time!!! (((hugs))) TBBT teammates - couple of good days for me this weekend despite going out TO A RESTAURANT with friends. Luckily the meat was in tiny overpriced servings and the veggies were overpriced…

The May thread is up here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10831976/team-the-big-butt-theory-may#latest

are we starting May today or adding a week to April? I did duplicate the MUAC spreadsheet for the new week hopefully without screwing it up!

OMG I did not expect a loss this week after a bad start, but finished stronger: 161.8 Maybe by June could get into 150s...it's a VERY slow road for this 59 year old... Starting weight 4/2: 163.2 4/9: 162.4 4/16: 162.8 4/23: 162.6 5/01: 161.8

Oh my - I totally spaced weigh in as well today. I will do it tomorrow and post! @cmhubbard92 hope that works?

This is also true for me, and something that I struggle with. I call it my F-it attitude. It comes up when I feel stressed or don't see results as fast as I would like. But also, I REALLY need to own up to the fact that I am doing just enough to mostly maintain, so it is not surprising that I am mostly maintaining. I've…

yesterday was sort of a fail in diet and exercise, but it was SO MUCH A WIN on my emotional health. My two cousins came over for a glass of wine and visit. Their mom was recently diagnosed with cancer (not looking good) and I haven't seen either of them since before COVID in 2020. It was wonderful to chat and catch up, and…

@HASWLRS - thanks for asking. Monday didn't end too badly, but at the very end of the workday our exec. director called a meeting for today at 1:30pm and my program manager asked me to do the show and tell slides and screenshare for our courses - yikes! Today I also got my first haircut since 2018 and it made things go a…

Back on track I think! Woke up early for 5:45am zoom yoga and a walk after that. Now ready to start my work day. Focusing on focus!!!

@cmhubbard92 thank you for fixing things again. I promise to never try to move or copy a row again in the spreadsheet. I suck. And I owe you a glass of wine or to wipe the sweat from your brow on the treadmill or something

@cmhubbard92 - I may have screwed up the spreadsheet again. I feel like an idiot. I tried to add some rows in my section but I think I may have accidentally zeroed out your entries instead. Did you log already in there this week? If so, I will go back through the posts and fix yours. I have no idea what happened. I truly…
