Happy Sunday/Weigh-in day Blue Team !

Hope everyone had a great week. Mine was amazing overall. While I miss my husband terribly, I'm able to fill my time with amazing people and healthy activity. There are 3 of us that have been hiking every Tuesday and Friday for the past few months. My fitness level has never been this good and I know I'm more than prepared for the 1/2 marathon coming up in December. Here's a picture of us from Friday's hike (11 miles, 283 floors according to fitbit):

Congratulation on law school PageLynn. Thats awesome!!
Your so on for the next challenge.....we will leave these 170's behind us:-)

Leslie your doing so great its nice to have people to do things and activities with, you'll do amazing in the half

Well been MIA again for a couple days, it's amazing how fast on turns into the other......except at work most days..lol

I have been horrible and I mean horrible with my food this week. I am craving something but I can't figure out what it is so I eat everything trying to see if that will work. So far it has not.

I have been doing workouts though so maybe that has helped. I feel better once I actually get my butt on the treadmill.

I thought for the last few days I would take my last freebie today, however when I stepped on the scale today it showed a loss....ont a huge on from the last but a loss. So I will take it. Shows .8 but I took a freebies last week so actuall down about 2.8 so somehow my body likes the food...lol. I know it can't last like that and will get things kicked back in gear but I'm happy today for anything that's not a gain.
I think I got on and off the scale about 10 times to make sure it wasn't a mistake....still hoping by tomorrow it's still down too.

Well have to finish getting ready for work. Have a good Rememberance Day....is anyone taking in any of the ceremonies today?

PageLynn, how exciting! Where in Az? I spent 20 years in Tucson and live in Tx now. When I retire DH and I will return to AZ. DH was born and raised there and he is very homesick.

Leslie, you are doing great, you are a real inspiration.

Bigmid, it must be the week. I have doing the same thing. I use to blame this on carbs but I have been off refined carbs for almost a year and I don't think I accidentally injested any so I'm not sure what is going on. I have not caved to ODing on carbs but my calories have been higher than normal so considered a freebie too but the scale was kinder than I expected this morning. Now I only got on and off 4 times and two of them were holding something heavy to make sure the scale would reset back accurately. I don't trust this scale very much.

So far so good today. Such a cozy autumn day, it makes you just want to enjoy being home and I'm so relaxed I suspect the "cravings" I have been having is more stress eating than craving something. Love days like this.

Have a good weekend everyone.
