    🗣Comments/Goals: Feeling super wiped out this week and it’s only Tuesday😫😣... I had to take a nap when got home tonight, short one since my son's track meet was cancelled. On the flip side--- NSV!! I was able to do all of the CXworks exercises without mods for my back this week!! My core seems to be getting much stronger which has been a BIG goal for me due to my previous back/leg injuries. 😀😊

    Sending out positive vibes for Wednesday!!!💫🎶 Keep up the great work my friends---so proud of you!!!👏👏👏😅❤️

    Thanks for the positive vibes. Awesome NSV so proud of you.

    Cindy I was on Protonix for a couple of years when I was at my heaviest weight--- the heartburn was so awful.... it could just be something you're eating, or not eating--- probiotics helped me a lot--- and lemon in my tea-- lemon helps a lot (unless there is a medical reason for your heartburn of course, you should speak to your doc). Hope you feel better asap!!🤗

    Current weight - 218.8

    I think that's a bit more than last week? Or was last week 220? I don't remember - my weight has been fluctuating like crazy this week. At one point I was down to 215.9, and I was as high as 222. Hopefully it's going to be a downward trend.

    @AB0215 I'm still at 5 days a week but my energy level is horrible. Had some blood work done to make sure all is well. Hopefully this will pass and I can get back on track and feel good again. I walk to and from the gym (5 miles) to get some of my cardio in. I hate the treadmill!!! It makes me feel like a zoo exhibit, for some reason they always put them in the front window of the gym. I know it will get better so I am going to keep pushing. This will be well worth all of the sacrifice and hard work we are putting in. I am looking forward to the new, improved, healthy, future me. Let me know how your workouts are going. What body parts do you least like to train? For me it is shoulders. I hate hate hate shoulders. And whomever invented burpees is a complete idiot!!!!! 😤

    Tracked: No
    Calories: Honestly, no idea.
    Exercise: Yes, cleaning.

    Another long day. I think once school is over, I will be able to make some changes. Right now I get up at 6:30am to start getting people up and take my oldest to school. I don't have to be at work until 9a. So, if I continue getting up at the normal time, I can do my walks in the morning, come home, shower, and then head out.

    I agree with @o0kody0o and @AB0215. Right now I should probably focus on my food. Then once school is out, add the walking/exercise component. @CindyJNC1963, I appreciate the encouragement.

    Prior, I did intermittent fasting. I have been trying this time as well, but am finding it super hard. Almost like I am famished all the time. I know it's all in my head, but for some reason this go around, I can't find that groove. Perhaps I should go back to eating 3 meals a day, just less calories each meal. I really liked IF, but if it's not working, I don't want to keep torturing myself.

    Anywho, have a wonderful day people. Sorry my posts are a day behind, lol. I am just so worn out when I get home. May you accomplish all your goals today my friends!

    Track: yes
    Calories: no, over
    Exercise: stairs at work plus 200 squats
    Water: about 135 oz

    I went out for Mexican last night (date night) and I didn't do too bad.....and I had a cookie after, and was still ok for calories. Although this is just a guess as I have no idea how many calories were in a cookie.... But I was good. I was comfortable, I ate enough, I didn't over do it....
    And then I ate a second cookie. That was my mistake. Then I was uncomfortably full! And it put me over in calories.... Not by much. Roughly 130 calories, I think. I threw in 100 calories quick add for anything that I underestimated....
    But yeah. So I am kicking myself for that cookie. I was taking it home, too. So it's not like I could have just waited and eaten it today instead! Stupid....

    Oh well. At least it was delicious!

    Back to working out. It feels good. I stared at a bag of chips in the pantry last night for longer than I would like to admit at 930pm last night. I held out and went to bed without them. No snack food regrets for me on Wednesday!

    @tinak33 Well at least you enjoyed your dinner, and one day, once again won't be toooooo terrible, you can still make adjustments...hang in there, willpower is hard, believe me!

    @CourtneyLomonaco Great job staying on track!!

    @BEASTFIELD314 I've been reading a book, or a guide on how to create new habits circling nutrition, and they stress making a few small changes at a time, otherwise it's like overload and you set yourself up for failure, maybe you start small, ease back into your intermittent fasting, maybe you spend a little time the night before bed--pre-planning your meals for the next day, like you know your having a spaghetti dinner for the family so you plan your breakfast and lunch around that and actually measure your portion out before you eat it....and remember, if it was easy, everyone would do it.
