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...
@sandkp, I am so sorry you had one of those days! Family definitely comes first, and it sounds like each and every one of them needed moments of your time. It was definitely an aberration, so take heart in knowing you can most likely regroup today! Kudos on coming here to post, not just the good, but the bad as well!!
Oh, and don't you just hate it when you buy something you think your kids will eat, and they don't, so you do?!! It happens more than I'd like to admit...but they are not overweight, not at all, so why should I punish them with not having treats they might like in the house? It is definitely MY problem, and one I need to solve sooner rather than later!!
Thanks! Today was better. Possibly mindset possibly the day... but I'm taking it either way. I know my stress has been up and it seems to shoot my weight up.. along with my BP. While I'm not going to let it defeat me, this may be a mentally hard month to get through. (And snack for my kids are tough but the party snacks for a group of teen boys was my downfall yesterday) 😭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
Thanks! Today was better...and good for you for not baking the cookies! Although sweets in general just gravitate to my hand and then my mouth way too easily!0 -

Sunday - no

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!
@cmhubbard92 thank you so much for your support. I agree with the fact that at least I’m doing something. I have some hip pain occasionally that stops me from walking, but I find that the bike doesn’t impact it as much.0 -

Under: yes (surprisingly) husband cooked dinner which means its never low calorie but yummy
Exercise: yes - 35 mins treadmill and 60 min “Groove” group fitness at the gym. It’s a dance class and my friend asked me to go with her. It was fun but I’m sure I looked ridiculous because I cannot dance at all.

Not as bad as it could be. Last weekend I spent 4 days at the cottage, which involves lots of good food which makes it very tough to eat right.

I have been really sick today! Have a major migraine and I'm not feeling good at all! So today is my off day! I just don't feeling up to doing anything.
I hope everyone is having a very good day on this 4th of July Independence Day in the U.S.
I have been doing really good this first week of the challenge! Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow and be right back at it.3 -
