Squats done, but I had to take a break.

No haters that I am aware of, I’m unsure if I have any “fans” but a lot of people are proud of me.

Omg, Kathy Bates was so good in Misery!

Here is a pic from July of my shoes in action. They have paint splatters on them now, but they are so comfortable I’m not in a hurry to replace them.

Biggest fan: Hubby!! He has no choice [emoji2]
My kids know I've made huge changes and also cheer me on.
Friends and family have also been quite supportive and complimentary of my lifestyle changes.

Haters? Honestly not aware of any thus far[emoji848]

Day 17: 50 squats done so far, 65 more to go....had to break it up in to 2 EVENTS before I have an event [emoji23]

Mini goal: Consistently move daily steps to 17 K by end of the month since I've decided to hold off going to the gym regularly..... advice from Dr. Vuong.

17. Ok, got my 115 squats done. Let's see...for a mini goal, I challenge myself to hang my unhung pictures before the end of the month.

18. I forgot to do my squats. I didn't do any major projects or anything but I did take the trash out which is on the weekly to do list. Hope that counts.

19. Making up for missed squats yesterday so 270 squats completed! Oy! I feel them most in my quads. I'll compliment the next person I see. LOL.

Happy Thursday!

Day 19:

140 squats coming up, I'm on 10.

Compliment someone: This happens on the daily for me as it's definitely easier to give than to receive BUT as I'm home this am, I complimented my husband on his way out[emoji38]

Tech: Sad to say I can't live without my phone but I'm working on it.

Have a fantastic day team ???[emoji123][emoji123][emoji123]

Well I don't think I could Do 140 reps even if someone was holding a gun on me, but I promise to compliment people TODAY, oh I guess I already told the phone associate at Lincare that they had an excellent company and I was glad I chose them as my C-Pap supplier- hope that counts as it was corporate instead of personal.

Well I’ve only half-haphazardly done the squats, but I’m continuing to lose this month.

Next month is going to be interesting. I’m predicting I’ll hit goal weight and will be in the process of trying to learn what maintenance starts to look like for me.
Meanwhile (unless I drink wine, which I don’t plan on doing excepting for special occasions) I’m finding it impossible to get in over 750 calories daily.

I guess one of my personal goals for October will be to figure out how to transition from weight losing mode to figuring out “what next?”
