5# Challenge SW: 189.0 3/20: 187.0 Well yesterday didn't go as expected. Tim and I both planned to leave work around 3:30, pick up Gia from doggy daycare, then head to meet Sierra. I made it home and about 3 minutes after I got there I received a text that "911 was called from xxx-xxx-5621" That is Tim's number. I tried to…

I'm in for the 5# challenge as well, but I didn't remember to weigh in this morning. I did log food today for the first time in a while. Been a good day so far. Still more tired than I should be. They keep upping my thyroid meds, but can't seem to get it under control. I'm best around 1-2, and I'm currently at 9, but they…

One option is a fitness tracker, I use a Garmin, then I use my average burn over 2-3 classes to create an exercise in MFP. Example: "Gym Day" for me is 10 minutes intense cardio & 40 minutes lifting and 10 minute cardio cooldown, I burn ~ 390 calories in that hour according to my Garmin (I am short and currently heavy so…

40-42 were my fittest years ever. I started MFP at 38, my name was actually Not40yet, lol. It took time and dedication to logging and to my workouts. I had some health issues that threw me for a loop and I'm back now at 50, and certain I can get back in shape if I just relearn some old habits. Easier said than done, but…

@PackerFanInGB I am soooo happy for you. That is truly miraculous news. Let the rebuilding begin!

Yesterday was good, busy and boring, but good. Gia had fun at Doggy Daycare and was worn out by the time she got home. We (Gia, Elliott & I) all took a nap yesterday. It was delightful. Then I got up and went to trivia. It was fun, but we lost badly. Today is pie day, so I brought pie to work. I will have a slice of apple,…

Been super busy yesterday and today, but did check in last night so I'm caught up on everyone's progress, but I didn't have the energy to write down goals last night. I've eaten home cooked meals 3 days in a row! I left overs I could have tonight, but I think I'll save them for tomorrow and eat at the pub where we play…

Monday is definitely a "Monday". Totally struggled to get up today even though I went to bed early and napped yesterday. This cold is holding on, but no fever or headache so that is a plus! Did a trade show Saturday at the state capital. Met a lot of senators and representatives. Sunday we took the pup shopping in town to…

I love all of the quilts but that first one is amazing!

Made it half a day at work yesterday, then went home to rest. Got up and went with hubby to pick up Gia and briefly visited with Sierra. Pretty much went to sleep as soon as we got home. Tim went out to pick up dinner, but by the time he got back I wasn't interested. Had a few chips on the way to get Gia, and a KitKat for…

Good friends are hard to come by. Catching up is important.

Took some meds and took a nap yesterday when I got home from work. Awoke feeling so-so and let hubby convince me to go to trivia. Boy did we lose badly last night! Still fun, but woke up this morning in worse shape than yesterday. Dragged my bum into work, but still took my meetings remotely to avoid hacking and spitting…

Hubby had a shoulder replacement in 2022 from a bike accident, and is having a second surgery later this month because one of the screws broke (yuck). He'll be starting over again as well. You've got this. Do it healthy, and give yourself some grace. I barely even spin these days, but spring is upon us and the roads are…

I'm like you. Chemist by trade and very black and white, all or nothing. I was formerly very active, very fit and very strict with my diet. When life (work & mental illness) got in the way, the first thing that went was the healthy eating. Then the exercise went because my fitness was slipping and I was too proud to reduce…

@cschmitz110515 the garage thing would totally freak me out. Hope it's an easy fix. @Bex953172 The concrete post seem like a good idea. The worry of cars hitting the home would be nerve racking. @littleblackskirt sorry you couldn't get everything done you had planned. Hope you feel better today.

Yesterday was good. First time I've done an all out spin class in a while. I'd been making excuses to half *kitten* it. It was a hard class. I had 5 guys show up to spin with me, we were all drenched with sweat. It felt really good to hear them talk about the class in such a positive way. "Fun class." "Tough class." "I was…

@Bex953172 I'm really bad about breakfast and lunch for that matter, then I go home and am famished. What worked best for me in the past was a protein bar for breakfast and salad with protein (usually roasted chicken I buy from the grocery) for lunch and a healthy-ish dinner. The last few years I've gotten lazy and…

Kitchen is mostly back together. Tim and I were both under the weather this weekend so it was definitely a team effort. I think I have one box left to unpack and grab the cannisters and mixer out of Sierra's room then it will be completely back in order. the cabinets are all bigger than the old ones, but we a short one…

Just overwrite the calorie burn number with your fitbit estimate. MFP has always seemed to be on the high side, but not that far out of the ball park. Good Luck!

Yesterday I was down & out. TOM & a cold =worthless. I did my meetings from home and napped. Feeling a little better today, but the cough is worse. Had a Fun with Science show this morning, now I'm back at work. Not doing much, just baby sitting a service tech while he fixes our TGA. Looking forward to going home for sure.…

Yesterday was going well until my aunt texted me asking me to check on my mom because she wasn't answering her phone. We went over to her house, called, knocked, even unlocked the front door and called for her. Couldn't get in because she had a chain on the door. I knew she was ok, because she had set her trash out, but…

Glad you are feeling a bit better today. You have so much going on these days. Take care!

Right there with you. Grumpy & tired! Happy birthday to Casey. Try to rest your foot/ankle.

Spent my morning doing science experiments with Middle School kiddos. It was fun but stressful, and a bit messy. Most of the kids were engaged and well behaved, there was really only one I wanted smack upside the head. Not bad for that age. Hubby and I carpooled today as he helped at Chemfest as well. We swung by Subway…
