Good morning Amy and Menuers,

Wow Amy your monolog on the weight training is verbatim the conversation in my head about exercise every day. We know we want to do it, we know we have to do it. What in our heads makes it easy not to do it? It is an ongoing fight. However, once we get to doing it, we don't want to stop doing it and find time no matter what. It just those first 2 weeks then we are hooked. With that said someone may have been on the treadmill for 1/2-hour last night!! Look at me adulting! Unfortunately, probably not today. I got to go to Aldi at lunch, Walk the dog afterwork, be at moms by 6 to take her to bowling, then get back to my salon at Moms house because my hairdresser is coming for my every 7-week cut and color. After that I need to eat dinner, and I want to put a spaghetti squash recipe in the crockpot for dinner tomorrow. But I got one day in so you never know I might be motivated to get it in before bed.

QOTD: I am going to say 2021. That is when I was doing all the running and hit my lowest weight since childhood.

Accountability: To much grazing.

TSS: 6 years 10-months 4-days 168 Lowest (129.4)

B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

MS: Chobani zero sugar strawberry Greek yogurt, apples

CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer

L: Arroz con pollo (a frozen meal)

D: bunless cheeseburger and butternut squash

Exercise: Dog walking

Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.

Have a great day my friends.

Brightest blessings

I really miss working from home.

"at your best" - hmmm. In that case, I guess 50s. I didn't have WLS until I was 55, but I was pretty active even before that. Swam laps or did water aerobics most days of the week; ate nutritiously (albeit too much). Earlier decades - no. I was either pretty (or very) obese (late 30s and all of 40s) - smoked throughout my 20s up to mid-30s, and wasn't too active in either decade. I did say above I've been "happiest" in my 50s and 60s...and that's true. But with "best", I guess 50s - esp the last half (after my WLS). I've slacked off a bit the last couple of years.

Wow that trip really seemed to sneak up fast.

Good Morning! Yum tacos. I found out yesterday that someone in another department had to have emergency gallbladder surgery and she has nobody as a back-up. One of my team members has done that job in the past so they are pulling him to cover that role temporarily so I'll cover his stuff for this payroll week. All of my other projects have to get set back again but it's all about teamwork.
I feel ya on the strength training, I'm a cardio girl at heart! I do enjoy my Pilates bar tome stretching now but I started it when I couldn't do a full 1/2 hour on the elliptical because of my ankle. I'm glad your pain is better and know you'll put together a schedule that works for you. I also want to take walks on break now that it's cooling down but I allow the work chaos to consume me and don't get away from my desk like I should.

QOTD: I don't think I have a clear answer. I'd like to take little portions of each era and piece it together. I would say about 6-8 years ago but there were times then that Em and I fought like cats/dogs and now I love our relationship that we have so I can't give that up.
