    I have been eating way too much cheese/dairy. But, otherwise, I've been active and getting crap checked off my endless TODO list.

    I'm not logging. Never was a goal.
    I am weighing every day. Almost always do.
    I'm eating meat, and dairy... oh, so much dairy.

    Life's pretty good. Every day I get a little caught up on the craziness. My biggest stress right now is owning two homes. One is on the market, but I haven't heard anything on it, yet. I really need that to sell. But, I can't control that. The stuff I can control, is moving along.

    Life is always a delicate balance of craziness, stuff you can control, and stuff you can't, and trying not to let it all overwhelm you, right?

    Week 3 may not happen for me :( I'm being treated for an infection and have been put on bed rest. I did my 1/2 hour walk today while feeling miserable...just got home from Urgent Care. I'll resume when I'm feeling better.

    I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you get better quick.

    I walked again today.
    6.1 miles. 90 minutes walk time. ~4mph
    Walked to the bank. Pause/resume.
    Then crossed the street to the grocery store. Pause/resume.
    Then crossed another street to another grocery store. Pause resume.
    My backpack was full. Not heavy though.
    I found 4 pennies.
    Yes, I picked the up. :p
    ETA: 520-90=430 minutes remain to 1200 minute goal.

    Today I had my third and final 1-hr private swimming lesson, so that (plus an extra 10 mins practice after) was a good workout! Definitely getting the hang of freestyle, backstroke, side stroke and breast stroke, building on what I vaguely remember from the swim lessons my mom forced me through 30 years ago. ;)

    Cals were under, carbs 32 net, logged everything. Had to guess at my lunch; I had beef pho with extra veggies in place of noodles. (So good!)

    Food measured/weighed- mainly but did have a nice dinner out with DH so some eyeballing portion size occurred.

    So far this month.

    Learn to use our TRX system for strength training. Have appt. with personal trainer who is certified and teaches the TRX classes at my fitness center. After Thursday, I should be able to do the basic exercises finally.

    Get into the 150s this month. Down 1.6 lbs so far this month, right on the borderline 160, I hope to fall off into the 150's this month.

    Get my daily steps average back to 10K. I've been letting that slide, with big step counts about once a week and mediocre ones the rest of the week. Running seven day is at 8906. Should get this one completed by end of the month.

    Last weekend of summer, enjoy it while you can.

    I am so impressed with all the dedication and persistance in this group! Great going to all the wonderful mfp people
    on this thread! I am just starting, but had a pretty good result: increased my day's steps by 2,500! The hips hurt, but hey, that goes away! Great success to everyone for the next few days!

    Ha! I foresee nothing relaxing about it. I am not looking forward to this game. Well, I am but I am not. It is not the idea of winning or losing but rather the extreme rivalry and fear of someone getting hurt. I am so glad Burfict is still on his 3 game suspension after nailing AB in the playoffs resulting the AB concussion. And I cannot forget that he nailed Le'Veon Bell last November ending Bell's 2015 season.

    Here we go STEELERS!! If it gets rough, put me in Coach. I'll take a hit for the team!

    I had one of those super hungry days.
    So I did go a little over with calories (~100) and 52gm net carbs.
    I also went for a 30-min walk, even though today was supposed to be my rest day, to help counteract that a bit.
    Also really headachey today. I thought maybe it was electrolytes but I had a big glass of keto-ade and the headache's still here.
