I’m behind on these questions so I’ll go backward: Triggers: being hungry at 3 pm, road-trips/travel (junk food! New experiences!), delicious things I bake, alcohol or pot-induced munchies, cheese platters. I avoid them by having healthy snacks around, don’t drink often, I am trying not to bake unless I have someone to…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Oops, I was just off by a day above. 9/2 should be 9/1 and so on down the list. My half marathon was 9/4 not 9/5.

Hi all! Back home from Oregon! The half marathon course was beautiful! I got it done and so did my husband. YAY! More of an update in the next few days -- tired from traveling but wanted to post my steps: @Megan_smartiepants1970 8/28 9594 8/29 5846 8/30 7965 8/31 9091 9/2 9256 9/3 18503 9/4 12439 AND 9/5 46,215 !! I'm sure…

@lindamtuck2018 Can you excuse me from my weigh in this week (Saturday, Sept 3). I'll be out of town for my race.

Username jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 150.8 CW 151.6 Ok not ideal but I'm not too worried. A few days ago the scale said 150. Ran/walked 6 miles today. Just over a week until my half marathon - yikes. I've been making a post run exercise plan and I'm totally excited to dive into it when I get back from Oregon. Steps…

I love this idea but I think 21 lbs is too ambitious for me. But I would really like to try for 11 lbs which will still be hard considering since January I've just lost around 9 lbs. Maybe this will help me stay on track through birthday, anniversary, thanksgiving, Xmas, etc!

@Megan_smartiepants1970 8/20 7,813 steps @lindamtuck2018 The milestone I am working toward is completing my half marathon on Sept 4. Today I did my final long run/walk of 11 miles, will taper next week and then be ready for the race. Afterwards I will probably schedule a pedicure. Maybe a massage and a trip to Ten Thousand…

Username: jpedno Weigh in day: Saturday PW 151.2 CW 150.8 Since January, coming off of the most stressful and scary 2 months of my life, I have lost 8.8 lbs! It may not seem like a lot but I’m 5’ tall so 8.8 lbs is a big deal to me! It’s slow going but it feels sustainable. I still have a long way to go but I have hope. I…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 8/11 4089 8/12 4424 8/13 10112 Not my best week step-wise. I have to run/walk 6 miles tonight for my training.

Username jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 151.8 CW 151.2 Yesterday the scale looked better but I kind of went off the rails last night and ate junk. It's still a loss!

Had a rough night of sleep last night. I'm still coughing post-covid. My hubby is now in the throws of a cold, allergies, or maybe just rebound post covid yuck. Anyway he had a coughing fit around 4 am. So I'm a little bleary eyed this morning. @Megan_smartiepants1970 steps 8/7 20,292 8/8 9,961 8/9 6,600 8/10 10,619 Summer…

User name jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 150.8 CW 151.8 I knew last week's loss was too good to be true. I've been snacking too much at night. @Megan_smartiepants1970 steps 8/3 7794 8/4 9501 8/5 10,942

I love oatmeal. I usually pour boiling water over 35-40 g steel cut oats the night before. In the morning I just warm it up and add toppings: Frozen or in season cherries (there's a brand of frozen that has sweet and tart cherries), mini chocolate chips, slivered almonds, and maybe a splash of oat milk on top. Also, fresh…

1. Definitely popcorn 2. Dry cereal if I want something kind of sweet 3. Fruit. I love seasonal fruit. Lots of peaches in my life right now! 4. Also tortilla chips and salsa. Although I only eat one measured serving of chips, salsa is virtually calorie free so I can pile it on.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 steps: 7/31 9125 8/1 9988 8/2 3069 I'm worried that now that my appetite is back post covid that I am going to gain this week.

Username jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 152.2 CW 150.8 I have no clue how I dropped weight. While I have been dealing with covid, I also haven't been tracking my calories and have been eating things like grilled cheese and ginger ale. Normally I eat a lot of fruit but since we were isolating for a while I didn't really…

Username Jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 153 CW 152.2 I’ve been out of commission for a while — I traveled… and then got Covid. Pretty bummed because my brother was supposed to be visiting me from Germany but had to cancel because of me getting covid. Anyway, I am slowly getting better. Still pretty bad cough and fatigue…

Username Jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 153.2 CW 153 again, not the. 1 lb I was hoping for but a loss is a loss. I need to weigh in early next week on Friday. @Megan_smartiepants1970 7/3 24,307 7/4 12,939 7/5 6,203 7/6 8,499 7/7 10,772 7/8 5,000 (estimate, my Fitbit was acting up) Umm it’s hot here in Santa Fe, high 80s,…

Sooo I just got back to the house after my long run. 6 miles. I ran a lot and walked some too but it got done. Along the way I passed a lady walking her dog. She told me I was amazing and inspiring. She stopped me to chat - she was recovering from a broken ankle and two surgeries and today she walked longer than she had…

Username: jpedno Weigh in day: Saturday PW: 154.2 CW: 153.8 I had hoped to be down 1 lb this week. But a loss is a loss, I can’t be too disappointed. I had gotten down to about this weight in September of last year before my hubby got really sick. Next week will be a big deal if I can get to 152… I think I have done pretty…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 6/18 9,630 In about a month I will be seeing my brother. He lives in Berlin and I haven’t seen him in maybe 4 years. I would like to set a goal - normally I am on “the lose .5 lbs a week” track. I wonder if I could actually instead work a little harder and lose 1 lb a week for a total of 4 lbs…

Username: jpedno Weigh in day: Saturday PW: 155.2 CW: 154.2 I am pretty pleased with this weigh in considering last weekend I was on vacation and there was margaritas, fried seafood, birthday cake, candy, etc. It was so humid and my body is not used to that - maybe I sweated it all out! And after 75 days no rain, it seems…

I'm Jen. Username jpedno Weigh in day Saturday PW 154.6 CW 155.2 I was pretty bummed with this weigh in as I had been slowly headed in the right direction. I am 5' tall so if I don't count my calories really accurately, it is easy to gain. Last weekend was a long holiday weekend - we took a little road trip (big trigger…

Those apple cider donuts in NY are so good! No, never been to either of those parks but they look beautiful - lots of cool waterfalls in NY. I haven't been that far west in NY. I would love to go back and explore more! Where I live we are so thankful and in need of snow/moisture. We don't get as much as we used to. But…
