Been a rough day here but I said I would log even if its no's so here is my first strike out. No tracking (except in my head .. just not time to sit and find matching entrys with everything pulling me today) definitely not under... bad food for quick to go meals and stress has me grab bad stuff.. why didnt those teens eat the cookies??? And no exercise as I was either running a kiddo to doctor, talking to a kiddo at work that was not feeling good, running for easy on the stomach food for when said kiddo got home, talking to third kiddo who had a day similar in craptastic design to mine, or talking to dad about his health and my siblings kiddo who is in a whirlwind of chaos. At least I had a good visit with my mom yesterday after not being able to visit alot and while she doesnt remember much and usually had no idea or concept of time, she knew I had been away a while and for that second that she stated she missed seeing me it felt like old times...
So... here is to tossing this day into the past and finding a way to make tomorrow better...5 -

(13.6 lb loss) I weighed myself 3 more times and it showed the same amount. I know most of it is probably just water weight! However, I'm just going to accept it and be grateful it's gone!!
What a great start - no matter the reason. Embrace it and keep going with what you’ve been doing and you’ll continue to see results.3 -

Wednesday weigh in
Previous weight: 241.8
This week: 244.4
Not the direction I wanted to go but this seems to be the trend with me. I'll have a good loss 1 week and a gain the next week. I've stayed within my calories and still hitting my 20,000 steps a day goal so idk what is going on. My hands and feet have been swelling a lot this week too. I've made a doctors appointment to see why but don't get I to see him until the 16th. Hope this coming up week is better.3 -
@mirendybryant sometimes it’s nothing we’re doing wrong. It’s good you made an appointment with the doctor (just to be sure it’s nothing medical). It could also be muscle you’re gaining or the time of the day you weighed yourself. Better weeks to come 😉.mirendybryant wrote: »Wednesday weigh in

@mirendybryant Sometimes we gain, and that is totally ok! Make sure you are staying properly hydrated, and that you are giving your body adequate rest. Also, my weight tends to bump up a bit around my TOM, so that could be and explanation. I've read articles that some women experience their weight going up during both ovulation and menstruation, so don't put too much thought into a good week followed by a bad week! Stay focused, because you know you are doing all the right things!1 -

I used to do the arc trainer at the gym because it was a big calorie burner for me, but have just been sticking to the elliptical because I get more steps on it (I'm silly)🤣 I will occasionally use the stationary bike that my boyfriend has(and never uses) but I find that the calorie burn isn't as rewarding for me 😞 What does matter, though, is that you are being active and working hard towards your goals! Steps don't matter, as much, but our challenges are fun! Keep up the amazing work, you've started off with a great week!1 -

Just look at each day as a new beginning. Yesterday may not have went as planned, but you did keep track of yourself in the back of your mind. Today is a new day, and you can push forward to reach the goals you didn't reach yesterday. You can do this!
I almost broke down and made cookies(oatmeal chocolate chip) to take to my boyfriend this evening, because he isn't watching what he eats like I am. I would have eaten half of them! So, I bought him a box of donuts, because those are far less tempting for me, and he's a donut freak

I have been consistently walking for the past several days. It didn’t take me long to get into a rhythm. I actually look forward to walking at least an hour every day🤗.
@SHEFITT45, so glad you got yourself into a rhythm with your walking....it makes things so much easier, doesn't it, when you don't have to think about it!!0 -

under - yes (I skipped tacos and made grilled chicken breast and mixed veggies for me - yay me!)
exercise - no, just didn't get it done, unless a miracle occurs. Will edit if that happens!
@annabananamc, staying under your calories is the most important thing, and with your chicken and veggies, you made that happen!!0 -
Mini Challenge
July 2
Tracked-yes
Under-yes
Exercise- yes, well if you count cleaning out closets and packing away clothes. I logged 7483 steps today.
@Jeaniece1, yep, any sort of activity counts, and cleaning out closets (can you come do mine?) definitely seems "active"!0
