Bodypump. I think it had been two weeks since my last class since I've been traveling for family stuff. I kinda feel like I need a nap and also like I got hit with a baseball bat

Weigh in day: Saturday PW 150.2 CW 149.2 Im surprised with this given the difficult month I have had, but I will take it! I am headed to the gym soon and hopefully this will get me back on track for February. @Megan_smartiepants1970 best of luck in this next surgery! Hopefully no more after this!

Hi all, still in NC. Step mother passed away at home on Friday early morning. It's going to be tough for my dad as he is now a widow for the second time. Saw my mom in rehab facility and while she isn't walking or standing yet, her mind is clear and is doing better than I thought. Wasn't able to weigh in before I left but…

Thanks! Writing is a good idea

Thanks all for the well wishes and advice. Totally agree with all the things. Hoping to get to the gym tonight (we'll see- we may get more snow) which will help. I'm getting on a plane Thursday and am going to try to make good (ok, I'd be happy with decent) decisions about what I eat. I will try to weigh in early on…

Emotional eating - how do you all deal with this? My step mom is dying. My mom is in rehab after breaking her hip/ surgery and seems to be struggling -- all on the other side of the country. I just bought a ticket to fly to North Carolina later this week (again, I was there last week for my mom). I need to go support my…

Made high protein veggie chili tonight and have had a fire in the fireplace all day. A good day at home but still lots going on with my family back east with my mom in rehab…

Weigh in day: Saturday PW 150.8 CW 150.2 Got back from the east coast on Tuesday night. It is so hard to stay on track when traveling and dealing with a lot of family stress. My mom is finally out of the hospital and in a rehab facility. My step mother is very sick (cancer) and has been in the hospital since 12/28. It is…

@lindamtuck2018 hope your headache goes away! I am headed to bodypump class soon- still sore from class on Thursday! Then grocery store for weekly shopping since it is supposed to snow tomorrow. Also have an appointment tonight for a soak and massage at a day spa in Albuquerque.

@lindamtuck2018 I need to weigh in today rather than Saturday. I will explain below. PW 151.6 CW 150.8 OK so weighing in a day early because I am unexpectedly at the airport.... My mom broke her hip. Just found out last night. Apparently she didn't show up at work for a few days. Her boss called for a welfare check and the…

Went to yoga tonight and it was great. Except I have been having this pain that is really bothering me. I've googled it and I think it might be piriformis syndrome but I don't know. I'm going to call a physical therapist tomorrow to see if I can get an appointment or find out if I need a referral. Whenever I tell my…

Yay! Thanks for all your work tracking this, @Megan_smartiepants1970

@Megan_smartiepants1970 steps: 1/1 8000 - this is a low guestimate. I went on a 2.3 mile hike and my watch died. 1/2 7124

@Tessita_07 where is your half marathon? Last September I did the Oregon Wine Country Half Marathon with my husband and sister in law. They just signed up for one in St. Louis in April. I had a rough time training last year so I am sitting this one out. But it is a great accomplishment! Crossing that finish line is…

@lindamtuck2018 Hiking... I am on a journey to up my miles. In 2022 I just did short ones, 2 miles or so generally. A few days ago I did about a 5 mile hike. There are some really cool long hikes nearby that I want to accomplish that are 13-14 mile hikes starting at elevation and with big elevation gains - up and down some…

Welcome to all the new ppl! 1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I enjoy plants, travel, history, cats, baking. 2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start? I want to make sure I am healthy so I can be active and continue to…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 12/28 9004 12/29 8888 12/30 21034 - 5 mile hike followed by a soak at Ojo Caliente (hot springs)! 12/31 6645 - I wish I had noticed I was so close to my goal on this day! Happy new year everyone! Headed out for another hike. Then grocery and laundry today. Will post my introduction and some goals…

weigh in day: Saturday PW 149.2 CW 151.6 Frankly I thought it would be worse due to the holiday debauchery: drinks, cookies, s'mores, etc. But I am excited tomorrow is the first. Family leaves soon. Getting back on track.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 12/25 11899 - hike with mother in law 12/26 7391 12/27 10893 - hike in Bandelier National Monument 2023 is the year of hiking for me! Just ordered a little notebook so I can log my hikes and purchased the All Trails app. Excited to do some long hikes!

Merry Xmas everyone. I missed my weigh in on Saturday and forgot on Sunday too. Can I just skip this last one and weigh in on next Saturday? @Megan_smartiepants1970 12/20 5901 12/21 4427 12/22 7541 12/23 5420 12/24 10683 12/25 11899 I did manage to get to the gym on Xmas Eve and did yoga + bodypump. Then went for a hike…

@jugar PW 149.2 CW 149.2 In a month like December, I am ok with simply maintaining! Went to a party tonight with friends from the gym - totally cool to see people looking normal and not sweaty!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Thinking of you! Hope surgery goes well and gets you on the road to recovery and no pain.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 12/5 2022 12/6 3062 12/7 4086 12/8 10831 12/9 4023 12/10 8978 12/11 8026 Can you tell which days I was recovering from food poisoning??? Today was a good day. Stayed on track with my eating. I've been making this korean-style veggie pancake lately as a way to use up lots of veggies in the fridge and…

Great loss! Hope your class went well. Which one did you do? @lindamtuck2018 Bodypump. It's a high rep weight class set to music. I really like the instructors.

PW 149.6 CW 149.2 at the gym now waiting for class to start!

1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I am Jen in beautiful New Mexico. My hobbies are gardening (vegetables and native plants and flowers), exercise classes (bodypump-weights, spin), road-trips with my hubby, hanging out with my cat, archaeology and history. Oh and…

11/30 4399 12/1 8044 12/2 6024 12/3 6238 12/4 5461 Definitely fallen behind on my step goals. Hope next week will be better. Recovering from food poisoning - been a rough two days. My advice— be wary of holiday potlucks!!
