My food scale and my treadmill are equally important.

Congrats on your accomplishment! Please take care of yourself. Do you normally have hoping blood pressure? [/quote] "Normally", no. Recently, yes. When dad had his heart surgery and the docs told us it was from high blood pressure, we all went and was checked. All 3 of my sisters have high blood pressure as well. :( I have…

I do bullet journaling too as well as creating junk journals and normal journaling. It is very therapeutic.

10/13/2020 ScorpioGirl70 Weigh In Day: Friday Steps: 10117 Highest steps so far that I have ever accomplished since starting this. However, my body hates me today. I am totally exhausted. Blood pressure has been running high today, so I am dizzy and blurred vision and I ate a bunch of junk food.. ugh. Now to find a happy…

Steps: 9794 Something I have been playing with on the treadmill and thought I would pass along the information I have.

10/8/2020 ScorpioGirl70 Weigh In Day: Friday Steps: 1505 I am struggling hard with the not smoking and weight stuff.... if I don't smoke I want to eat everything in the house, then I am way over my calories. This bouncing back and forth within 5 pounds is frustrating. I guess it could be worse, I could just be gaining and…

Thank you! So if I am reading this correctly, biking for instance can count as steps?

You are a young grandmother too! Aren’t grandkids lots of fun![/quote] I know I am... I told those kids what causes that stuff, but they NEVER listen to mom! :D

YES! I started charging my cheap version of Fitbit at night while I sleep when it gets low. Although I like seeing my sleep levels, I'd rather have my calories and steps.

To those who don't know me, I joined this group last month and found it very helpful in me staying on task. I am a mom of 4, basically adult children. Youngest will be 18 in December. Grandma of 5 grand daughters and 1 grand son. I will be 50 in November and decided better late then never to get healthy. So as well as…

@lindamtuck2018 I got lost! I am back.. haha No seriously, had trouble getting to my computer the last few days and I have the threads bookmarked. I had no idea how to find them on my phone to update. Since we changed my weigh-in to Fridays, I think I missed October 2? If so... it was PW: 212 CW: 214 Gain: 2 pounds! :(…

Sept 29, 2020 Scorpiogirl70 Weigh in Day is Monday - @lindamtuck2018 can I change it to Friday.. Weighing in Monday is killing my spirit since I am usually eating out at least once on our busy weekends while APA league is in session. Goal: 2000 steps- today 8492 steps

@lindamtuck2018 The not smoking is rough. Honestly I had been taking a puff here and there but the last 2 days I have not had one puff of a cig. Just trying to stay busy and hoping that helps with not only my not smoking but in my loosing the weight since I am normally sitting at a desk running my business online.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 The habit tracker? I am so confused, where is the rest of Sept. I don't even see mine listed there any longer and it starts on October 4?

Scorpiogirl70 Weigh in Day is Monday This week PW: 217 pounds CW: 212 pounds LOSS: 5 pounds... okay back where I was, now to continue down the scale the correct way. I did change my incline on the treadmill which increases my calories burned, which I am loving. Goal: 2000 steps- today 8905 steps

Sept 27, 2020 Scorpiogirl70 Weigh in Day is Monday Goal: 2000 steps -- 1724 steps today This is actually great steps for me for not hitting the treadmill. I did a sneak peek on the scale tonight, here's to hoping the fast food doesn't hit my weight for tomorrow

Sept 26, 2020 Scorpiogirl70 Weigh in Day is Monday Goal: 2000 steps -- 926 steps today So weekends are so far off kilter for me on steps, visiting with family or catching up on paper work.

Isn't that the way it always goes? It's a new week starting tomorrow, you got this!

Oh where do I start? I have struggled with weight my entire life. Now that I will be 50 this year, I have to get to a better healthy place. My father just had an aortic dissection this summer due to high blood pressure, that went undiagnosed for years, is what the doctors believe. My blood pressure isn't extremely high but…

Sept 24, 2020 Scorpiogirl70 Weigh in Day is Monday Goal: 2000 steps -- 7806 steps today Did not get my goal of 6 miles today.. haha... life happens. But did manage to fit in 2 miles and moving a bunch of boxes for a good half hour to an hour. I wish there was a way for me to actually calculate the calories for moving these…

@lindamtuck2018 Amazing steps today! Did you do anything special to increase your steps? Yes Linda, I did 3.5 miles on the treadmill. Had to do something to counter all the junk food I am eating due to not smoking. Today I did 4 miles, tomorrow I hope to get 6 miles in.
