@mkksemail ah thank you for explaining that, I understand now 😄 @MaddawgMadsen oh no I'm sorry to hear about your knee. I hope you feel accomplished though! @whitfcan glad to hear you're feeling better! My Wednesday was OK, I did get a short walk on my lunch break. I would've liked to have been outside longer but I only…

Well on Wednesday I tried doing different variations of planks... made it 4 minutes lol Then I tried arm circles. Lasted maybe 1 minute 😆 this mama has some work to do haha. I did take a 15 minute walk on my lunch break though so that's something.

I find it ironic that the topic of AI has come up here as we recently were offered the opportunity to use AI to write our progress notes at work. It has the staff divided as many feel uncomfortable with it while others look forward to the help with documentation. I've decided not to use it, for one thing I'd have to pay…

Tuesday I chose dancing, ended up with 40 minutes. Earlier in the day I didn't think I would meet my step goal today but after dancing I exceeded it 🥳

Yesterday was great as for movement and food choices but right before bed I felt snacky so I had a bowl of Cheerios… not the worst but not ideal. I did have a lot of activity yesterday so maybe that's why I was hungry. I probably needed more protein too, I didn't eat a full lunch, just kinda snacked on what extras the kids…

Monday - teal (cleaning), about 1.5 - 2 hours all throughout the day, and IL probably get another 10 minutes before bed because the kids' toys are alllll over again.

PW 261.3 lbs CW 258.3 lbs I lost the vacation weight and a little extra!

Quick check in - yesterday I cooked our first Dinnerly meal, beef and wine ravioli with caramelized onions (I added mushrooms too) and a horseradish sauce. My daughter and I enjoyed it, my husband ate it but said he didn't like it, and my son didn't touch it, but that's normal for him. He knows what he likes and that's all…

Sunday - does walking while vacuuming count? 😅 I fully intended on going for a walk but ended up spending the entire day cleaning, organizing, and decorating my house (finally). For Monday I'll try to get a walk in and there will be more cleaning. That never ends haha.

@strong_fit_ells you'll be in the next decade soon! How exciting 😀 @mkksemail I'm looking forward to Bingo! Historically the fall/winter time has been a challenging time for me with weightloss. This is mostly due to the holidays (so much food) and the weather making it unpleasant to be outside; so having a new way to spice…

My steps for the week

I've noticed that when I don't have coffee in the morning I tend to be hungrier and crave a lot more throughout the day. I'm guessing it's because caffeine is a stimulant, and stimulants suppress appetite. I was never a coffee drinker before kids but now I have at least 1 cup most days. The last few days I've been staying…

A few ideas of areas that I (and probably some others) could use improvement in - 1. Meal planning - actually taking the time for it each week and coming up with nutritious ideas 2. Eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies (i.e. eating the rainbow) 3. Taking time for meditation/mindfulness/prayer 4. Increase protein…

Saturday - I had my new beverage on Tuesday, so today I completed a new workout. I made up a full body strength training workout using a combination of moves I got from a couple different videos and a few ideas from a friend. I also threw in some intermittent cardio when the music was upbeat enough to dance around 💃

I swapped Thursday and Friday because I don't work Fridays, so Thursday I took a new route... but it was a new route from work to go home. I did a little exploring and found a roadside stand selling sweet corn. We had some for dinner and it was amazing! Friday I didn't exactly pamper myself in a new way, but I did allow…

@conleywoods It's so frustrating when the scale doesn't move! Your daily affirmation is great, I may copy that 😊 @whitfcan oh no I hope you're able to rest up and feel better soon. @Gidgitgoescrzy & @Alatariel75 yay you're in the green! @stephanodda figuring out what's right for your body can be soooo frustrating. I love…

Wednesday - try a new meal For breakfast I had scrambled eggs, ham, veggies, & cheese on pita bread. That was a new combo for me, any time I can get vegetables in my breakfast is a win!

Tuesday - I swapped Saturday for Tuesday, I wasn't feeling well so a workout wasn't in the cards, but I did fix my coffee differently. I bought a Rising Tide Focus Creamer, it's coffee creamer made with coconut oil and lion's mane meant to help with focus and energy. It did seem to help me feel more attentive while at…

@ashleycarole86 & @micki48 thank you both! Hopefully I'll have an even longer green streak this time. @mkksemail no worries, I understand that life happens! We were in 1st place!! Oh no @MaddawgMadsen I'm sorry to hear you have a fire nearby causing poor air quality. We've had air quality alerts due toneildfire smoke quite…

Monday - I read a few pages in a new book I bought a while ago.

Pw 259.8 lbs CW: 261.3 lbs My first time in the red since May, boo 👎 actually I'm impressed with myself for having a green streak as long as I did! I had a feeling this last little summer vacation weekend might bring my weight up. Next week will be better!

Try a new fruit - I had some blackberries from a bush growing in my backyard. While I've had blackberries before, it was new for me to eat them from my own bush! They were so good! I'm surprised the birds let me have some lol. I've had this bush for a couple of years now but in the past the birds would steal the berries…

@micki48 how great that you have free access to NOOM! I didn't realize insurance might cover that, I'll have to look into my own plan. Let us know if you like it. I love hearing your butterfly updates BTW, I'm sure they are so grateful for your kindness. @ashleycarole86 what a pain having your flight canceled 😞 I hope you…

@YinxFed oh how scary for you and your mom! But it's such a blessing to have family come together and help out when needed. @MaddawgMadsen great nsv! Injuries are so frustrating, but overcoming them is very rewarding. @whitfcan that sounds like it was a really serious back injury, ouch! I'm glad to hear you're on the mend.…
