Monday morning - 168.2

All time low on the scale since starting this journey, so that's nice.

Actually did some weight lifting and 20 minutes on the mini trampoline today. It's a start.

Checkin' in - 168.8

Right back down - yay! Not sure why, my eating yesterday was basically leftovers and started out with PIE! :-D The human body is a weird thing. This week I really hope to get in the habit of moving every day. The treadmill died, so I need to get out and walk, or do the mini-trampoline or recumbent bike inside.

Checking in - 170.2

I'd say that the day after Thanksgiving and two days after my period started, I'm totally OK with that small bump up in weight! :-) Got SLAMMED with a migraine on Tuesday while grocery shopping in the busyness of pre-Thanksgiving rush - not fun at all! Made it home, had the kids put the groceries away and went to bed. Made an app't with my chiropractor the next morning and the adjustment was wonderful! Was able to get my house cleaned, food fixed and enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with the four of us, plus my husband's brother and his wife, plus a friend of theirs. So much smaller crowd than last year. It was a nice day. Hubby grilled the turkey and it was moist and delicious! It's our favorite way to cook it now!

An introduction to my great niece

I probably haven't mentioned in my health blog who the gorgeous baby girl is in my profile photo, so I thought I'd post an updated pic of the baby girl and introduce her. This is my nephew's daughter Kaia. She just celebrated her 1st birthday on August 31st. She was born 8 weeks prematurely, so it was a little scary at first, but she's a fighter and as you can see, the happiest baby on earth! She has this radiant smile a good percentage of every waking hour and grins like that at the first glimpse of a face upon waking. I was taking care of her on this day, so I got to see the proof of that! My children show no interest in forming lifelong partnerships and making me a grandmother, so I have to enjoy my great nieces and nephews. Kaia is my first on my side of the family with another due next month because my OTHER nephew is going to be a daddy, too - yay! I have a few more on my husband's side, but they live further away.

Ideal body weight

Found this article about ideal body weight and it has some great points.

Your Idea Weight Isn't What You Think It Is

Now that I've taken time to figure out this new format, I'm getting used to it and kind of like it! I started a new blog with some political ranting and raving, so that's why my blogger name is showing up as Journo June instead of Mama Bear now. :-) My new blog is at JuneWritesRight - yep, I'm a Conservative. Enter at your own risk! ;-)

Also - I perused my reading list and found just 13 links that are still active or that haven't switched to some kind of selling site. Really? You keep your weight loss title for a blog and are using it to sell crap like insurance or other garbage? Not cool! Anyway, would love to connect again with other health-minded individuals.

Ugh - still sick. I start feeling better, then do too much. I never learn. Gonna spend the day in bed. I have water. I might make it to the kitchen eventually for some tea or something. Or I might not. Whatever. Trying to figure out blogger to start a new blog for my political ranting. :-) Be afraid, be very afraid. LOL

Does anyone know how to change your name in the "Posted by" section????? I've been looking for over a freaking HOUR! Taking me forever to figure this new stuff out. :-P I hate feeling stupid!

Checkin' in - 168.8 :-D

Woohoo!!!!! First time in I don't know HOW many years I've been in the 60's! So, yeah, doin' that happy feet dance for sure! Not sure if it will last. I have been sick with a cold and had no appetite. So once I start eating normally again, it might bump up a little again, but it has been really exciting to see that SIX number. YeeHAW!!!!
