Hi @jugar I'm feeling the need to take a break for a while. Would it be okay for me to be sidelined to the bench for October please?

Weight In Day: Saturday PW: 78.7 CW: 79.1 A busy week this week, getting ready for a garage sale (yard sale) on Sunday to hopefully get rid of all of the household stuff that I have been storing since I cleared out my Dad's unit in August. Had started unpacking boxes and setting things up a couple of days ago, but a sudden…

Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 78.9 CW: 78.7 Started back at Parkrun while I was away last weekend. Feels good to be getting back to my normal exercise. It definitely makes a difference to mood and motivation, and the better mindset helps with making healthy food choices.

Early Weigh In Day Friday (usually Saturday but going away today for the weekend) PW 79 CW 78.9 Feel physically leaner and stronger than last week, but only a small downward shift in the numbers. Looking forward to a weekend catching up with family whom I have not seen for about 4 years. Planning to do Parkrun while I am…

Weigh In Day Saturday PW: 78.2 CW: 79 It's been a busy week and although I've been consistent with portion sizes and not mindlessly snacking, I think the processed carbs have crept into prominence. Step count has definitely increased this week. Steps/Activity 3/9 - 5846 / gardening, singing group 4/9 - 9430 / gardening 5/9…

September, and spring has sprung here in Queensland, Australia. Actually, thanks to an unusually warm winter my garden decided spring had arrived a couple of weeks ago. There is so much that needs doing. Three garden beds are overdue for refurbishment. The weeds are doing crazy and the compost bins need some serious…

Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 78.3 CW: 78.2 It's September but this is also my final weigh in for August. I'm happy to log a small loss this week and to finish August/start September slightly lighter than at the beginning of August. 😊

@conleywoods, it's good to know that you're safe and I hope you can return home soon. I have been watching news reports about the fires in Canada and can only imagine how frightening it is. Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 77.9 CW: 78.4 Well, I think I can say that life is starting to return to normal. A few hours work on Monday…

Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 79kg CW: 77.9kg Ok, so a drop of 1.1kg this week. That's a big number for me and I'm happy. This past week I have focused on portion sizes by using a smaller dinner plate, and being careful around the afternoon witching hour (or more) when I'm feeling tired and have tended towards mindless…

Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 78.3 CW: 79 Up again, sadly. I think it may be some water weight as I have been drinking a lot of water due to having seasonal hayfever and drinking cup-a-soups so probably too much sodium also. This week I will be looking closely at portion sizes, particularly at dinner time. Hope you are all…

OK, it seems like I've been so busily distracted that we ticked over into August without me realising. I automatically went into the July discussion to post my weigh in result and was surprised to find you'd all moved on 🤣 Weigh In Day: Saturday (in the land down under 🦘) PW: 78.3 CW: 78.4 Here's a quick update - I saw the…

PW : 77 (on different scales) CW : 78.3 (on my usual scales) Well another bounce on the trampoline of weight management 🙂 It's been a week of sitting around resting my knee interspersed with whole days spent packing up my Dad's worldly possessions. And wow, he and my late Mum sure did squeeze a lot of stuff into a modest…

@wishfuljune why do things like that happen just when it's least convenient. Not that a roof showering your bed with water could ever be considered convenient, but just before going away for a relaxing break is the ultimate in bad timing! I hope it gets fixed up without any more problems. Enjoy your holiday.

Early Weigh In PW 77.9 CW 77.0 I'm at the hospital today getting my knee surgery and have just been weighed fully clothed. So I thought I'd use this because I won't be able to stand on the scales on Saturday.

Well I know the stress levels are hovering in the red because I've chewed 9 out of 10 finger nails to rags. Getting ready to move my Dad into aged care and spent this morning clearing piles of papers off my dining table. I've set copious reminder messages on my phone for the coming days so there will be so much binging and…

I like yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. There are lots of videos to follow along with and I have found her style of guidance very calming and encouraging.

@jugar, could I please have this week off. Everything has happened in a flurry in that I have found an aged care placement for Dad and now have this weekend to get the room looking homey before moving Dad in on Monday.

Weigh In Saturday PW: 77.3 CW: 77.9 It's been a bit of a week this past week. My knee has been playing up and consequently exercise has been down and less intense (not that I've been getting very intense since the injury). Food wise has been good, healthy and portion aware, and overall I'm happy with that. Sleep has been a…

PW: 77.7 CW: 77.3 Well it's been a busy week and I really haven't been taking much notice of anything but just getting to today. Happy first day of retirement to me! Last weekend was the final stage of my 60th birthday celebration, with two nights away organised in secret by my hubby. Day one was a fabulous surprise. We…

I love the image of the slugs lining up waiting to be served. The cool weather here gives my garden a reprieve from attacks. When spring arrives I will be retired and will have more time for the battle.

Saturday WEIGH-IN PW - 77.6 CW - 77.8 Small wobble but it's on the back of two weeks marking my 60th birthday, so not worried and overall healthy choices have prevailed. This weekend is the final hooray for birthday celebrations with hubby taking me away for two nights. I have no idea where to or what we'll be doing as he…

Weigh In Day: Saturday PW: 79.7 CW: 77.6 Definitely feeling better about myself this week. Tracking was patchy, but food choices were conscious and majority healthy, less alcohol, more exercise all showed up as downward movement on the scales.

Where has this week gone?! It's been hectic and tracking took a back seat but I have been focusing on healthy choices and moving more. The only hiccup in that statement was the delicious slice of passionfruit sponge cake that I enjoyed for dessert yesterday after my birthday lunch with my golfing buddies. The cake was…

PW: 79 CW: 79.7 Well, that's heading in the wrong direction. But I'm okay with it for this week because I'm just getting myself back into regular logging and also my exercise is still reduced. I've tweaked the macro numbers and daily calories and will see how this next week pans out. Sluggish digestion has been a problem…

It's been a full-on day of work today and still going. Will finish at 7pm and hopefully the hubby will have dinner ready shortly thereafter. Things are a bit stressful, as it has come time to look into aged care placement for my 93 year old father. It's such a minefield but I've taken advice to engage an aged care broker…

@jugar thanks for the happy Thursday :) This morning I played 9 holes of golf before work. Walked the whole way without much limping, so feeling pretty good about that. Getting back into the habit of tracking each day and I'm enjoying reading what everyone else in the team are doing.

My name is Wendy. Thanks for welcoming me into this team. I live in the Moreton Bay Region, on the northern outskirts of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, with my husband. I am two weeks shy of my 60th birthday and currently self-employed as a remedial massage therapist; however I am looking forward to retirement on June…
