I've done well this past week...... Mentally I always have to work a little harder.....But I stayed on track with all my activity, and did pretty fair with my eating. I did indulge a little on Sunday though (at the beginning of the week)....I've been working ALOT this past week on my new SIMPLY FIT BOARD as well... Its kind of "addictive" once you get the hang of it!....And the weather has been really nice as well as warm this past week (almost close to 80's a few days), So I was able to get the Puppy out and walk with him as well by his favorite place at the Lake................Today is "REST" day for me as well as "Treat" Day! So YAYY for that.... And its also, Weigh-in day~

Hope everyone else has been having a nice week and keeping up with your goals smiley

I had a good week. I went inline skating several times, and feel that my cardiovascular health is improving. Also did a session of strength training, and I've set a goal to do that at least once a week.

@IsabelleJ

Thats great Isabelle!....Sounds like you did have a great week. I need to increase my strength sessions as well. Should probably add that in this week myself. Keep up the great work!

I had a pretty good week. I tried two new workouts at home. One was a 10 min arms workout posted by @PoliteOcean in the featured exercise thread. Another was a low-impact cardio workout I found on youtube by The Body Project. I liked both! My shoulder is still bothering me a lot. Meals were good, but as usual I had too many sweets. No weight loss in the past 2 months.

@SadMe70

Its great that you had a good week! Happy to hear that it seems to have been better for you this week depsite the issues with your shoulder..... Thats great that you have been keeping up with your workouts and I'm so glad that you are enjoying and using the videos that are being posted!... I don't think I've heard of the Body Project, but I am certainly going to check that out myself. Thanks for sharing!... And its ok to indulge a little, at least you aren't in denial about it, and thats a great step. And don't be too hard on yourself, we all reach a little stand-still every now and then. You will get back on track! Find your "motivator". Ask yourself "what" would motivate you to keep going toward losing. And take it from there. Just don't give up, and keep up the great work that you "Are" doing! smiley

Melli, thats ok....it happens sometimes. Don't be too hard on yourself. You have been doing such a great job from week to week. Nobody can be great all the time right?! smiley Just continue to concentrate on the things you have been doing well, and how well you've been doing with everything. You've really been doing a great job from week to week. I know that you will get back on track with your goals winkyes

@PoliteOcean

Thank you and here are my comment to your questions......

How I been doing over the past week? I have been dealing with my health issues (seizures activity) for a week now. But in all I am doing great and living life one day at a time.

How do I feel? I feel really well on what I have done and for what support I am able to give.

What have been my highs or lows? My highs are getting my peer and Forum Supporter badges and supporting those who need it in any area, and my lows is due to the activity I am having it limites me from doing my daily task for the 7Cups internship and from helping those whom need it

Side note: knowing I was able to walk a 5K for heart issues made me remember that there isnt no limits to what a person can do.

Hey everyone I've not posted in the check in threads before, but thought it might be good to start participating more in the forums. This week has had some good, and some bad. I injured myself back at the end of January, and have been trying to heal up from that since. I have still been in a lot of pain, but this week is the first week that I've been allowed to go back to work for a couple hours, so that was exciting for me! It's nice that I'm at a point in healing where they are approving that, but being back has also caused me A LOT of additional pain, as well as moving my progress back some. It's been a hard week pain wise, but hopefully things will start looking up soon. With the exercises that I've got from physio, I'm not doing a lot more activity other than regular day life stuff. I'm working to get 2-3 sets of my exercises in though, and so far I have been able to stay on top of it.

I've been working on my eating as well, and was happy to have good news today for weigh in day. It's a slow process...both with weight loss, and with healing from my fall, but I feel like I'm going in the right direction at least. So...I guess that's me, and my week.
