PW 221.4 CW 220.1 Sorry it’s late again and I’ve been missing. I’ve also been sick. Seems like a theme around here. Hope everyone is feeling better. I literally had a little kiddo cough in my face while I bent down to zip his coat. He’s been out, his bf has been out and the teacher was out a few days too. Still not 100%.…

Steps - I made it. 7k everyday.

Micki48 Weigh in Friday PW 222.5 CW 221.4

@MaddawgMadsen Thanks for your thoughts and advice. I appreciate it. I do try to get aldi salads for lunch so I don’t have to think about making mine. I usually add extra veggies to it and sometime more protein. Today we had a breakfast potluck at school. Boy was there a lot of good food. I didn’t try it all but had my…

Hope it’s not too late. This week, I’ve hit my step goal every day.

Thanks for the reminder @conleywoods You and your husband know exactly what it’s like. I wish I could make myself get up early to do it before work but that is never going to happen. I do enjoy exercising first thing in he morning but now that I’m working there is no time for that. I generally get over 7,000 steps mostly…

Happy Birthday @strong_fit_ells 🎂🎉🎈 Hope you have a great day. Thanks for the encouragement @ashleycarole86 I appreciate it. ❤️

User name micki48 Friday weigh in PW 221.2 CW 222.5 I really don’t care for the scale. It’s derailing. I didn’t think it was a bad week good wise. Not much specific exercise, but ugh! How do I gain when I try and maintain when I’m not paying close attention? Our friends in Altadena as of now still have their house. The…

I third that. I am not liking this very cold weather. I am missing my milder North Carolina winters. I did a bit of stress eating today. Excuses. Excuses. Our good friend and his family lives in Altadena, California. They have a brand new three week old daughter and have been evacuated due to the fires. They are safe but…

Back to school today. Kids were good. I’m tired and it’s cold. I logged my food but I just don’t want to exercise. I’m so easily derailed. The Pilates I do is an online program called Lindywell. It’s a subscription but they always have free classes and some of her older stuff is on YouTube. @Alatariel75 Your pup is so cute…

I made it a point to do a Pilates workout today. I could see myself making excuses that I had other things but I put myself first and did the little workout. Logged my food and was under calories. Hit my step goal. Yay! Snow day today. Most likely back to school tomorrow. Congratulations on the new puppy. How fun!

Not my best week, but getting back into it. Lots of sitting activities as opposed to my teaching first graders.

Discussion Question Do you eat breakfast? If so, what are your typical go to meals? I always eat breakfast, but I may have my coffee first then eat if I’m home. On school days I usually have sourdough toast with avocado or whipped cream cheese with arugula on top with a side of berries. Usually raspberries. If I have time…

I love all of your great ideas! The adventure/chore jar was shared with our group last year. Nice to meet its originator. My weird goal is to use up stuff that I’ve saved in my home. Half tube of lotion - focus on using that only till gone. Stickers - use them before there’s no more sticky. Burn those candles down. Use up…

Oh our dinner out tonight was so good. The place was beautiful too. It’s in a greenhouse. I got a Harvest bowl with chicken. It was amazing. We also had a cheese board to share.

@Kali225 How scary! So sorry about your car, but thankfully you were ok and your dad was nearby to help you out. Hope you find a good new car.

Friday weigh in (on time!) PW 222.6 CW 221.2 I’ll take it considering I’m easing back in. I closed out my diary yesterday. And….drum roll…I made myself get on my mat and do 15 minutes of Pilates this morning. It felt so good to do it. I can’t remember my last time. So my 10 minute goal is done ✅ . @ashleycarole86 So glad…

I was down a little today so hopefully that holds for tomorrow. Honestly, I have not been fully committed to be perfect yet. With the holiday, some gatherings, and my daughter’s birthday, it has been hard. I think I have done a fair job maintaining so I’m not too worried but I look forward to getting my act together and…

Happy New Year! I logged all my food today. Took a walk yesterday but didn’t do any specific exercise today yet. I still have a few gatherings including my daughter’s birthday on the 3rd. We’ll probably go out to dinner. I’m also meeting up with friends tomorrow for lunch. Once I get back to school next Monday it should be…

@StayFITTer I love you post. Wise observations and great reflection. 👍🏻 Great article too btw. So much to think about and a way to structure a project/plan. Thanks!

I thought I posted but here it is again. CW 222.6

Hi everyone! Happy, healthy 2025!!! So I went back to my January 2024 post and it’s as if the year never happened. Here it is again slightly updated. Hello friends! My name is Michele. I’m 60 years old, married with two grown children and one beautiful granddaughter. I live in the Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania USA. I…

PW here ? Last week 219 CW 222.6 (That’s too many cookies and much eating out) Also my daily step goal for January will be 7,000 steps.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all those who celebrate. I’ve been MIA for a few months now. No good reason. But I’m ready to participate in January and return to the step team. Do I need to reregister or can you just put me back on the team? Missed you guys and glad to see many of you still around and new names to…

Sorry for the disappointing weigh in. Makes me sad. But I knew last week was too good to be true. PW 216.4 CW 219.1 Still got to the gym twice and one hike/walk. Wasn’t as good with logging, but not awful eating wise. Oh well. On to another week. My daily step goal is 7,000 steps. Ashley and Brad glad you are feeling on…

Missed a couple days checking in. I went to the gym yesterday. Didn’t want to go today, but put on my gym clothes and did it. Felt good. I knew I couldn’t go tomorrow and possibly Friday. My weight is up a bit which is not surprising after a bigger loss. We’ll see what it looks like tomorrow. @ashleycarole86 So sorry to…

Steps

@janiss123 Thanks! Many of my former students are currently attending App State, as well as Brevard and WCU, they are all also home. We have family in Hendersonville. Their house is ok but no power or water. And the roads are all a mess or gone. Keeping all those folks in my thoughts and prayers. @jugar Sorry to hear your…

Friday weigh in on time!! PW 219.5 CW 216.4 Yippee! Biggest drop I’ve seen in a VERY long time. This makes me very happy. Now to keep it up.
