Health and Fitness April, 2024

[Nancy]

I have done another week of successfully getting my steps in.
Yesterday I did yard work and just a block walk with the dog to get em in.
Some steps to the basement too.

Healthy Habits are on my mind / like fluid intake aka less coffee & soda & more water
for my hydration.

Stayed on my eating plan, drank my water and got in 14k steps.

I won my diet bet!!!! Just don’t know the amount yet. Will need to wait till everyone in the game submits their results and then the pot will be divided amongst the winners :

Once I know the amount, I’ll post it here.

I changed it up yesterday with a windy day I did gardening the neighbors garage is a good wind break so I worked on the area it blocks.
That was the zone I was on and I can see progress & got my steps in also win win!

Luv having this weeks wins to celebrate in here yea!

Point of interest: I put rocks in the silk floral arrangement and the winds still blew it off the table!

Thxs Nancy!

The pot for the game is more than $41,000 with over 1100 people playing. It cost $35 to enter the game. After the final weigh-ins from all the player, those who won will get to split the pot.

Last time I did this, I think the most I won for a game was $56. Have no idea what it will be next time. I have already entered a new game that starts on April 26. This will be a tough one as I have my birthday, my sons birthday and Mother Day celebrations to get through… but I know I can get through this, one day at a time.

I did not eat everything on my eating plan nor did I get in all 10+K steps in. My mouth was very sore from my day at the dentist yesterday. However I was able to drink 80+ ozs of water. I lost count after that and forgot what else I had. Does not include the 24ozs of coffee I drink most days.

RR - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so very happy for you. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish, and YOU DID IT!!

[Ramblinrose]

Thank you LadyM . I appreciate it :

That's great, Ramblin' , and you did it while sometimes having stressors of dental stuff, pain, etc.

One dr noticed a small weight loss for me, the other I saw the same day didn't. I was surprised the one dr said something - they almost never notice anything like that. I say doctor ... it was probably the nurse who made a point of noting it for the doctor.

I need to keep up this interest in creative projects - I tend to lose a little weight when I get "lost" in them. My step count probably doesn't benefit, though!

I have had to slow down on our side stuff for a bit and some inside small tasks done today.
Yesterday I could not continue bc a tool broke dang.
Oh well I did get the mowing in front done.
Had to walk also to get my steps in.
I have half of my steps in.
I need to walk daily to keep my bs manageable.
Walk will be in a while my walks also help to reduce stress.
I am trying to get the year stuff handled while it is burning season and before it gets hot.

Nancy... It doesn't hurt to take a breather every once in a while.

Harriet...I was that way while teaching, especially during the last months of the school year.

Yesterday I stayed on my eating plan, though I didn't get all my steps in and I definitely drank all my water. I have almost a week before the next game starts, but I sure don't want to loose my focus. Just gonna keep on doing what I'm doing
