@minstrelofsarcasm She wants to study Earth & Planetary Science. We had a great time in SoCal. We have U Hawaii Manoa to look at over Spring Break and then it will be decision time.

Hi all - Sorry, I’ve been MIA. I’m in SoCal with my daughter looking at colleges, and we had Snowmageddon in Colorado as I was leaving. (Had to change my flights to avoid it!) I’ll be more active this next week. Can’t wait to get back home and pick up my dumbbells again. (Although, I’ve been doing a ton of walking!)

Fortunately, I know this weight loss journey is full of weekly ups and downs… but mostly downs. I need to get through this tournament…

Hi - I’m Syd from Colorado. 48 years old with a desk job, a son at college, and a daughter in her last year of high school. My daughter plays junior roller derby and is on one of the top 5 teams in the country. Practice is 2 hours north of us every weekend. I shouldn’t complain as there are kids on her team who fly in from…

@Emilienewme Good luck to your daughter! Make good choices! 😂

@Laurabb99 If it gets to be too much, you could try one of the Get Fit with Rick videos. https://youtube.com/@RickBhullarFitness?si=V7Ym1K1nplw_zLkZ Easy, low key, and he advertises how many steps you’ll get by the end. A walk outside is always better, though, if you can make it work.

You’re absolutely right. I really should pack more food. I usually pack enough of my powder supplements (protein, collagen, fiber & creatine) to get through a single day, but I could absolutely come up with a better travel system for those. (Maybe baby formula travel containers?) I could also bring along my normal fiber…

@ljdanny Hooray for getting to leave early! Here in Colorado, I’m nowhere near uncovering my yard furniture. This morning it was 49 degrees and sunny, by 11am it was 34 degrees and snowing.

I just had my first tortilla in months! Where have these been all of my life? (Maybe I live under a rock, but I’ve been avoiding the tortilla shelf at the grocery store for forever.) Not sure if they’re available outside the US? A single tortilla has 15grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, 70 calories, and 5 grams of net…

@gillwellow - That’s absolutely fantastic news!! Good luck with the new gym! @Zumba_Luvah - nice loss this week! @CassieGetsFit2013 - I’m glad you checked in! I was wondering how your aunt made out with her surgery. Congrats on the loss this week even with all that you had going on. Welcome to our new members!! I had yet…

Hope you recover quickly! I had the same thing going on Monday. I think my body must be a little more used to bad behavior on the weekends, though, because I only gained 2. 😭 I’m trying so hard to be good this week. We’re going out of town to a tournament this weekend so I won’t get my normal exercise, and I’ll likely be…

Thank you! That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m looking for!

@CassieGetsFit2013 That’s so awesome!! Keep tracking!

Anybody found any good flexibility workouts? (Not necessarily yoga! I hate yoga! 😂) I like to change things up every few months or so, and something came across my newsfeed at work about someone swearing by an exercise plan that is 3 days strength training, 2 days flexibility, and 1 day of cardio (that would be a bit more…

I have no idea! 😂 I know I used to focus on getting cardio workouts in and strength workouts were an after-thought and only done if I had time. I think that’s why I went looking for a short full body dumbbell workout in the first place. I’m really bad about doing workouts when I get home, so that’s when I wrote out the…

@ljdanny You actually get some nice steps in there. The only way I get those numbers is by going for an intentional walk. I bet you’re constantly moving, fidgeting, etc… even when you aren’t walking. Add in a bit of strength training and you probably wouldn’t need much more exercise, especially with all the stress. I have…

Sorry, I’m so late in posting! I was away for the weekend 2 hours north with my daughter’s junior roller derby team. I went off the rails a bit with the other parents at a local distillery that had just a ton of interesting cocktails, but no real way to track any of it. I’ve been trying to play catch up and get back on…
