Good Afternoon, Challengers

Yesterday Tues I did all 6 of my main HHs, ate in my 💚 zone of pts. I had 3 meals, 0 snack, used 20 pts. We walked 2.2 mi before breakfast. I did 13 mins of PT/ST before dinner.

My “KISS” HHs (Keep it Simple and Specific) for yesterday:
- Do at least 10 mins of PT/ST: 💚
- Avoid salted snacks: 💚
- No “seconds” with snack: 💚
- No eating out of a container: 💚
- Limit phone after 9 pm: 💚
- Evening: “Snack on Inspo”; Read prayers, quotes, whys and goals: 💚
- FFFE (Food-Free Fasting Evenings): 💚
- JGTB (Just Go To Bed) around 10 - 11 pm: 💚

My prayer and meditation at meals and in the evening really help me keep “following the program.” It’s a 4 times a day reminder that I’ve committed to this. Otherwise I forget and wander. That’s on my “At least” list: “At least do ____.” Trying to put the min 10 mins PT on my “At least” list also.

Be well, and take care, for ourselves and for each other.

Good Morning!!

I walked 2.3 on Tuesday and 2.56 on Wednesday.

I met with the staff I would be working with if I get the new position. There is another meeting with another candidate late next week so I probably will not know anything until the following week.

Cait: Good job on your good days.

Carol: A quiet weekend is nice. Good job on your rehab and lap swimming. I don't blame you for not swimming alone. Definitely not safe.

Waving to all!! Happy Walking!!

Good Morning!!

I added a 2 mile WATP yesterday.

It was a sad day as we had to put Olaf to sleep last night. He suddenly lost some weight and just was not acting like himself. Most likely kidney cancer based on his blood work and palpation his kidney was painful to touch and enlarged. He was such a good cat. We will miss him greatly.

Next Friday I will get a heart monitor placed just to check my heart to make sure nothing is wrong with the heart rate. Most likely my symptoms are from the Graves but my family history is not the best.

Cait: WTG on your HHs, miles, and your PT/ST.


Waving to all!! Happy Walking!!

Work day at the office and also a late afternoon appt away from office. I got home a little before dinner time and made time to do “At least” some PT/ST 🎉. I have 3 days so far this week and I’m aiming for 5.

Another of DH’s childhood friends is in the hospital - this one he’s known since kindergarten and he also turned out to be a cousin. He has diverticulitis and apparently it burst through in his gut, but he must be recovering OK because he wrote the email about it. I think DH is getting the picture that our healthy eating efforts are beneficial……

This am I attended my weekly virtual WW workshop - “How to build a tracking routine.”[/b] One member talked about how she “bundles” tracking with other things she does routinely. I eat a lot of the same meals so it’s easy to track them in the app - they are “saved” in the “My food” list and I have them marked as “favorites,” but I also track on paper because it’s a different level of awareness for me. The coach and several members commented that trying to track ”perfectly” gets in the way - the point is to be consistent. The rest you just do the best you can.

www.weightwatchers.com/us/m/cms/build-a-tracking-routine

“People who track more often lose more weight. Why? Tracking makes you aware of what and how much you’re eating, and awareness is key to making small but meaningful changes.”



CAROL - GJ with the rehab Mon & Wed, and lap swimming Tues. Wow re the man who died swimming alone. My cousin died doing that also.

KELLY - GFY with the 6.67 mi Fri-Sun, 2 mi WATP Mon, 2.3 Tues, 2.46 mi Wed, 2 mi Thurs. The heart monitor will be interesting data. So sorry about losing Olaf. Hope all works out for the best with the health coach position. 🤗🙏 Did your ex’s cardio surgery go ok?

Be well, and take care, for ourselves and for each other.

We had a nice day, I sat outside after our walk and we had lunch and dinner out on the patio. I tried shopping online for a replacement outdoor dining set - ours is about 8 yrs old and the plastic “wicker” is breaking. We’re down to two chairs. Couldn’t figure out what to get. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Found out DD1’s DH has Covid. We were hoping to see them this weekend. 🙁

CAROL - GFY with the Thurs water. Lass and stretching and Fri rehab. Too bad about the heat affecting your block party 🥵. Yes I’m glad I’m getting some better consistency with PT/ST. I liked this I found on IG - it’s by a 75 yr old who posts inspiring exercise pics and videos:



Be well, and take care, for ourselves and for each other.

I added 4.6 mile Fri-Sat. Sunday I took a much needed DOR.

Cait: Good job on your good days and getting in the PT/ST. Sorry about the COVID for DD1's DH. Sorry about your DH's friend.

Carol: Good job on your water classes and stretching. Glad you people still showed up for the Block party. It got warmer here again.

Waving to all!! Happy Walking!!
