    Well, that sucks, but isn't unexpected. Last week was rough - lots of stress and little time to track. I even missed a workout or 2. Luckily, i actually do expect to be back at my PW in a day or 2. Here's to a better week ahead!

    Reminder that if you're counting your calories - always weigh your food, even if (especially if!) it's prepackaged. I had a snack bag of popcorn that said one serving is one bag (17g) and was 80 calories. On a whim, I measured, and it turned out the amount of popcorn was 32g, nearly double! I know 80 calories isn't a huge difference, but measuring your food is important!

    80 calories in one day may not make much of a difference, but 80 added calories on a few items every day will! I have to say I don't normally measure pre-packaged food. I may have to start doing that though.

    Super frustrated because I was 196.2 yesterday. I have to remind myself weightloss isn't linear 😩😩😩

    ⭐️Daily Post: Monday 6 May

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Not much today apart from 3x10 with dumbbells.
    💬Comments: Because I done quite well this week with the weight loss, I treated myself to a new foundation I had been wanting for a while now. A long time ago I would have rewarded myself with food but now I have a little list of non-food items that I can treat myself to. It gives me something to look forward to 😃

    Weigh-in
    Username: @aadubb
    Week: May Week 2
    SW= 172.6
    PW =168.8
    CW=165.4

    Daily Post
    ⚡Track: Yes (EVERYTHING)
    ⚡Calories: over - I allow myself to go over since I exercise and my calories are already low.
    ⚡ Exercise:
    -20 min of upper body (weights) before work
    -30 min of cardio during lunch with a coworker
    -30 body weight /dumbbell resistance and cardio activites after work with a friend
    ⚡Water: approx 84oz

    🗣Comments/ goals:
    Weight loss is slowing....
    I assume, though, that whatever I lose now is fat as opposed to water weight so that's encouraging. I'm also exercising more than I probably should for a low carb plan so if the weight loss continues to stall I will dial it back. Will reassess in 2 weeks. On a side note, when you see me do extra workouts (more than one), it's because I'm a workout buddy to more than one person and I'm trying to be helpful and accommodating! Hopefully being helpful doesn't have an effect on my own goals.
    I went for my first run for the season, yesterday. It was a beautiful day!

    Daily post for Monday

    Track: yes
    Calories: yes, under
    Exercise: stairs at work and 250 squats
    Water: 170 oz and counting

    Made today a light eating day. I am going out to eat on Wednesday, so I am trying to compensate for the extra calories by eating less earlier in the week. I guess we will see what happens!!

    Being on a low carb diet shouldn't cause you to limit how much you work out.

    @aadubb I eat low carb (less than 20g a day) and I lift weights an hour 5 days a week and walk for at least 6 days a week for an hour, low carb won't hinder exercise, maybe in the beginning, you'll feel sluggish until your body gets used to low carbs, but your body will adapt...believe me.

    Ugh. All I can say.

    Jason--- I feel the same way ---today I was a little better (although I did eat chocolate after dinner🤦🏻‍♀️).... but ever since Easter it's been tough to shake sugar/food in general really--- one day at a time.
