This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

How nice to see all the CATS that stopped by yesterday. Nice newsy post by Anne. Sorry to say, the document inked by me was to receive temporary funding. Not what you all were thinking, sadly. Anyhow, I'll keep positive thoughts for quick resolution.
My personal BD report/weigh in is a wash this week; no gain, no loss. Which isn't getting me any closer to my goal. I let the week get away from me, not in a bad eating way, I just didn't get the exercise in and tracking. I have found myself relying on protein bars/shakes for food. My body needs REAL food, and my focus is to map out my workouts for the week, and to eat real food as much as possible.
I am going to head to the grocery store shortly, then work out. Maybe hit Nordstrom early. I see it's triple points on shoes, and I want a pair of espadrilles, but need to try them on in person for proper fit. I have a meeting with someone I know who life coaches, and I think I'll end the day with yoga. I think I am really liking the yoga thing.
I'll check back in to see who is around this weekend.
As always, looking forward to hearing your BD reports. Report the good and the not so good for accountability. Acknowledging it lets you continue, or move on from it.

Gosh, I just speed-read the last few days and I have been missing all kinds of newsy posts. There is a lot of energy here. I want to just lay my hands upon my iPad screen and absorb it from our doers and goers.
Yesterday turned into an impromptu road trip to deliver a student, post AP testing, to a track meet the team was already attending. I went as a favor to those who were going to go but whose time was better spent in town. My DGF road shotgun, and we had a great time hacking there and back. I had my first DQ in over a year, a mini. We felt like Thelma and Louise.
Today I have to head to That Sister City that is the gateway to the West. Academic competition judging. Oh, my, is that ever tedious. Needs must.
Everyone's moving conversations have me dreaming frequently that DH and I have moved or are moving. Susan will surely move when household combos are done. Susan, that is super news for DF's career enhancement! Now, with Liz reporting vie FB about her upcoming relocation, we will have one more CAT on the move. Colleen, DH and I played with the idea of being townies in a condo, but I decided I do not like living cheek to jowl with so many people. Congrats to BBQB aka DF for his good grades. And to you for starting to see scale/mirror results.
Anne, when do you start heading to my neck of the woods for next year's planning? It's been too long since our paths have crossed. I am delighted that your health situation has resolved and you have taken control of your fate, with excellent effect. Well done!
Drat, I have to get moving before I've properly chatted with PKate, Shari, Andrea, Frieda, Martha, and all of our recurrent CATs.

Waving HI to all~ Weigh in this morning had me down .2#. I'll take it. My usual weigh in outfit was in the wash. My pedometer showed over 17k before I took it off last night. Hoping it would show at scale but not today. Called & talked to DMom. Sounded good. DBro called her yesterday, made her day. She also went for a short walk and went outside. Hoping that means she is finally feeling better. Called DSis and left message to see if there was room at the inn. DH is encouraging me to go (and I really want to go too!) I did mention it to DM and she liked it. She said DS & I could work everything out. Counted up my blue dots for this last week - 4. Thought I had one for yesterday but remembered a couple cookies that hadn't been tracked. Fixing pizza for dinner tonight - Canadian bacon & pineapple. HUGS~
