Thanks @YinxFed! Good night!
-
I made the leaderboard! I needed to see that today. For some reason I've been down on myself today and getting worried about not losing any more before my conference. It's 7 weeks away but feels just around the corner. Just gotta keep putting in the work!

Thank you for all the celebrations of my lunch event choices. There are a number of tempting snacks in the house right now and my wife made a lovely but big breakfast for the family today. After logging I realized it was nearly half my calories for the day! Just goes to show that one success or slip is never the whole…

@YinxFed I'm glad you've checked in with yourself and realizing you're burnt out. I have so been there. I had a fun day yesterday - a luncheon event with the sustainable business council where I caught up with several people in my professional circle and made a new connection. I ate/drank smart - skipped the beer,…

It's been gray and rainy here and I am getting the blahs. I have a "happy light" that I've been trying. I may need to up the time or intensity or something. There was a water leak in the road outside my house and I got to listen to jackhammering and other heavy equipment sounds all day. Now on day 2 of a righteous…

@MaddawgMadsen I did stick to the kale salad ith grilled chicken and one beer. It was really nice to hang out with this friend and the salad was really good. Something I like about myself: I am always trying to learn and grow. I generally have one non-fiction book and one fiction book going at the same time. Right now I'm…

CW: 159.6 PW: 162.0 @jugar and @EvMakesChanges I wish your dad a speedy recovery. @StayFITTer The planning makes a huge difference AND it's a challenge to have the mental space and energy to do it sometimes. I've learned planning and batch cooking for an entire week is just too overwhelming and a brain drain for me. So I…

@ashleycarole86 We gave our daughter Ticket to Ride for Christmas and it quickly became a family favorite! Took the pooch on a walk which lovely in the sunshine all bundled up. Did some cooking for the week to help me eat well. I'll need to do some more movement today to reach my step goal.
-
I did a low impact exercise video yesterday to get in some movement and steps. I thunk I'll bundle up and go for a walk outside today. We are looking at 5 days of rain ahead. I stayed up too late to see who would win the 49ers/Packers game but woke up feeling rested. Some prep to do for the week ahead, more football to…

I only had a couple of meetings yesterday but still walked quite a bit while I worked. Meeting a friend today at a brewery and my plan is one beer and kale salad for lunch. @lauren_989 I hear you on the grocery bag carry challenge! Often I am doing a quick tidy at home between meetings and just move things closer to their…

I did some "inefficient housework" last evening to get in some extra steps. We live in a smaller house (1300 Sq ft) and all one level so it's hard to get steps in. So I intentionally put one thing away then walk back to the original room and do it again rather than doing several things in one trip. Some days I don't have…

This week has been far less hectic than last which has given me space to plan meals and cook. I've also gotten in way more steps. The scale dropped yesterday, now to keep up with my good habits. Hope everyone is staying warm and safe with all of this winter weather.

PW: 161.6 CW: 162.2 Hate posting a gain for the team but not really concerned about the number. Last week was crazy - onsite with clients 3 days then had to work evenings as well, no exercise and no logging. But I'm back from my beach reset and set up for success this week. 9 weeks until my conference.
-
Morning. This group has a lot going on - football teams making the playoffs, home renovations, commutes in icy weather, trips to Mexico very soon - love seeing all of your happenings. I am back from a long weekend by myself at the beach. It rained the whole 5 hour drive down and was windy the first day but the quiet, sun,…

Morning! I've had a lovely long weekend by myself at the beach. I've taken long walks, read a novel, did some personal planning (I'm a huge fan of Best Year Yet), and made healthy food. I also watched a good bit of football. I got up early to watch the sun come up over the ocean which was stunning this morning. @jugar - no…

My facilitation went well today. I came home and did some post work while walking on my treadmill to get in some steps. Lots of water, no soda, and 2 meals without processed carbs! @MaddawgMadsen how did your day go? @eggfreak or anyone have any podcast suggestions to me in the frame of mind to set some inspiring goals for…
-
PW: 161.8 CW: 161.6 I laughed when I got on the scale this morning. After 6 days straight, it moved .2 lbs. The human body is so weird! I packed my gym bag so I'll have everything I need to go after tomorrow's facilitation. I'll need to work tonight. People have no idea how much time goes into a facilitated session,…
-
Whew! Lots of posts to catxh-up on since I was last here. Love seeing the updates & activity. I have a very busy week ahead. I will be facilitating 3 days in-person with 2 different clients. So long days with a ton of energy output. To recover and reset I am taking next weekend for a solo trip to the beach (5 hr drive).…
-
@MaddawgMadsen hearing about your Oct success cutting out processed carbs and alcohol is inspiring! After a lot of both in Dec I have cut way, way back. I may follow your lead next week.
-
Hey y'all! This is a weird transition week for me - off Mon, worked some Tues (but no meetings), back to work yesterday, half day today, full day tomorrow. My 8th grader returned to school today. No one at my house knows what day it is still, LOL! My wife teaches at the local university and doesn't go back until the 17th.…

PW: 163.8 CW: 161.8 Happy New Year! Here's to a healthier 2024! I'm on a downward trend! I made some small shifts recently and that has helped drop some bloat. I'm back to 64 ounces a day and being intentional about high protein meals and less carbs. In 11 weeks I will be headed to Vancouver (cross country flight) to…
-
@micaroo4 Same deal for the cate Cafe here - reservation needed and all the cats are available for adoption. I forgot museums - duh! I'll add that to the list!
-
Oh this is too funny! An adventure or a chore?! That's serious commitment! In my adventure jar I'd put: hiking at the local arboretum, working on a 1,000 piece puzzle, going to the local game Cafe, visiting the cat Cafe, trying a new coffee shop, visiting the downtown of a small town nearby, visiting a different library,…

Hello all! I'm Adrianne, 46, living in Asheville, NC, US with my wife, 13 yr old daughter, a cat, and a dog. I started working from home in 2020 and since have really struggled to get into a routine to eat well and exercise. Both of my parents have heart and other health problems. My dad died Dec 2021 at age 64 and my…

@jugar I'd like to rejoin for Jan. I'll weigh-in on Mondays. Starting weight 163.8. I'll do an intro in the Jan thread. :) Happy New Year all!
-
CW: 158.8 PW: 158.8 @jugar this is essentially two weeks' of weigh-ins in one. Last week was wild! So sorry. I have fallen put of my good habits over the last 3 weeks. School started, I started working with a new client (I have my own consulting business), and my volunteer commitments have been heavy. Whew! I am getting…
-
PW: 156.8 CW: 156.6 I was half expecting a slight gain this week after a couple of straight losses. I have several social meals out this week so I will need to plan accordingly - healthy meals otherwise, water, and movement. Now if I can get my FitBit to sync! I have had several small tech headaches in the last few days.…
-
It did pay off! Good work! You have inspired me to plan my meals for the week - a habit that has fallen off with all my summer travel. @IDebraK Good grief, that's a lot to deal with between the car, heat, AC unit search, and animals. I hope the install today goes smoothly and you have a cool house soon. I'm in hyper…
-
PW: 157.6 CW: 156.6 Sorry to be several days late! I did weigh on Mon but didn't post. School started back this week for both my daughter & wife so I've been in major support mode and trying to keep the house up. Walking for a few hours while I work (standing desk + folding treadmill) has been a game changer. My back hurts…
-
PW: 159.6 CW: 157.6 I'm seeing a lot of benefits to walking during work (treadmill under my desk). I am not stressed about getting movement in, I easily get over 10,000 steps a day, I have a lot less ankle/calf swelling at the end of the day, I am getting movement in despite the heat (I was trying to take walks outside),…
