Happy birthday @ljdanny ! <3

STEPS: Sunday: 12174 Monday: 13841 Tuesday: 16239 Wednesday: 14341 Thursday: 14434 Friday: 19213 Saturday: 22613 (hike day :) ) Weather allowing, I am staying with my daughter at the school playground after I pick her up. I walk around the playground while she is playing with kids waiting for the school bus. Because there…

Happy Birthday @sherry9999! <3

Happy Birthday @EDTake2! <3

MotylekOkruchy PW: 139.4 CW: 135.8 So, the spring break bloat is mostly gone. (I don't consider this change as real loss.) I looked at this month's beginning weight and today's number and unfortunately today's is bigger (135.6->135.8). Not much, but still... I need to remember that a lot of celebrating happened in March:…

MotylekOkruchy: STEPS Sunday: 10067 Monday: 10732 Tuesday: 16234 (hike day!) Wednesday: 9484 Thursday: 19387 (hike day!) Friday: 12286 Saturday: 10191 Spring break is over - we are walking to and from school again and I am very glad! These short walks help me to frame the day in a healthy way.

MotylekOkruchy Fridays PW: 134.4 CW: 139.4 Have I gained 5 pounds in a week? No. It's Spring Break week, filled with a lot of out of ordinary events, some joyful, some stressful. Most of them resulting in temporary "gain". I am sorry to screw up the team's overall results for this week but promise to make up for it next…

Go for it! Ever since I got mine (mid-November) I started moving around a lot more. The feature I use most is the "250 steps per hour" (for me 7 am - 7 pm). I did not realize before how many hours pass by with no steps at all - all day just sitting in front of the computer. I have been looking for creative ways to force…

Thank you for the birthday wishes @ciaoder! <3 To be frank I was planning for a lazy weekend with the main thing to do: tax return. But you got me! I can't not to attempt to get those 20K steps now! So I placed my laptop on the treadmill and did my taxes while slowly walking. I am getting very close to 10K while typing…

MotylekOkruchy Friday PW: 135.6 CW: 136.3 When you birthday falls on a Tuesday you celebrate the preceding weekend and that Tuesday. :p And here are results of that birthday indulgence! :#

MotylekOkruchy Friday PW: 135.6 CW: 135.6 Today I am reporting for the last time as a 48-year-old. I am turning 49 next week! I was hoping to get to 130 by my birthday but . . . maybe next year.

MotylekOkruchy Saturday PW: 136 CW: 135.6 1. I would like to change my weigh-in day to Fridays starting in March. 2. I am very proud of myself for "moving" every single day this month. On most days it was at least an hour of walking but I also added yoga, and yesterday I went swimming.

MotylekOkruchy steps: Sunday: 13690 Monday: 15078 Tuesday: 14265 Wednesday: 14432 Thursday: 12947 Friday: 12859 Saturday: 19987 ( <3 hike day) On Saturday evening, I knew I was very close to 20K but I was so tired after the hike that I was unable to get up and walk those missing 13 steps - seriously!

And here comes the expected correction: PW: 135.1 CW: 136 Even though expected, still very disappointing.

MotylekOkruchy Saturday PW: 136.7 CW: 135.1 I am surprised by this "loss" and expecting a correction next week since it is way out of my pattern over several past months, which is on average half a pound a week. Although I admit, I've been trying hard to stay close to my calorie limit before adjustment for exercise/steps.…

I find this challenge extremely motivating. I would be below 10K most of the days without it. I am grateful for having it here and being able to participate!

I want to stop thinking that I need to reward myself in this situation at all. I want to start treating weigh-in day and the following day like just another day on the continuous journey. I don't want to chop that journey into 6+1 day increments. That's the mental leap I need to take. When I thought about it a bit more it…

MotylekOkruchy Saturday PW: 137.2 CW: 136.7 It amazes me that so much effort results in losing only half a pound a week. I know it's better this way than the other (gaining half a pound) but still! I also noticed that on my weigh in day, whenever I lose anything, I tend to reward myself . . . with food . . . extra food -…

That seems more doable than I thought.
