It feels like I'm gaining the weight back?
I haven't checked my weight in about a week and I haven't walked in two days (yesterday I did a little swing thing where you put your leg in the hole and it's like a leg hula hoop and you jump over it with the other leg for about 20-30mins along with 50pushups). Tonight I'm going to the gym for an hour. I am going to check…
