    Track: Yes
    Calories under goal: No, a little over
    Exercise: 11,100 steps

    This has been a really terrible day for me personally. There was a house that blew up in Charlotte yesterday, the husband survived but his wife was killed. I found out this morning that it was someone I knew. About an hour after that I found out that a long time co-worker has been moved to hospice with only days to live (metastatic breast cancer). To top all of that off, I had to go in for a repeat mammogram this afternoon because the first one was abnormal. It was abnormal too. Now I need to go for a biopsy next week. If it is cancer, the doctor said that it is stage 0 which is a really early stage. They told me that more than likely it is totally benign but they don't want to take any chances.

    So, yeah, this has been a lousy day.

    I am really sorry to hear that. And I hope everything will be ok.

    HAPPY JULY 4TH! 🇺🇸🎉🎇
    My name is Brittany, a reoccurring member of the BLC. I have really fallen off track the last couple of months. However, I'm not discouraged! My main goal is to be consistent logging daily. What you eat is half the battle! I also have the goals of drinking at least 60oz of water daily and working out at least 3 times per week. Good luck to everyone!

    Starting weight for July: 132.4 lbs.
    July goal: 127 lbs.
    Overall goal: 115 lbs.

    75 minute upper body workout with 10 minute HIIT rowing. Upper day was tough because my triceps are probably my weakest body part. I increased weight though which is a major accomplishment for me! 💪

    Started a new challenge this month. Last month I did an ab challenge with a cousin and her bf, and it was tough. Can’t believe it, But I did all 30 days. And the end was getting brutal.
    My husband started the ab challenge with us but was unable to finish. One exercise in particular (leg lifts) was bothering his sciatica. So this month we kinda made our own. And we have more people who wanted to join in the group. Wish me luck.

    Weekly Weigh In
    Username: tinak33
    July week 1
    Previous weight: 151.6
    Current weight: 153.0

    Hanging in there. Gonna try and at least maintain here through next week. We'll see. Got all the family coming in starting today (big family, about 25 people) so lots of food..... plus eating feelings. And I am not feeling social AT ALL. Which means I will prbably eat more feelings. Oh well. Hoping to just get through the next week without gaining anymore, and then get out of the funk I am in, and get back to the 140s.
    We'll see.

    ✅Track: yes
    ✅Calories: under
    ✅Exercise: 30 min walk

    Comments: Kept very busy today so not much time to think about food, as a consequence had to work tk meet my calories requirements today!! Benefit of lovely sunny weather is craving salads and bright refreshing foods (plus the return of flat peaches!! 🙌🙌). Had a night out with friends but kept it to one glass of wine and drive so I wouldn't be tempted. But to be honest I think I would have kept to one anyway as it was planned into my day and I really wanted to finish under or at my goal (and not drunk making bad food choices!). 👍

    I'm so sorry to hear this lovely, these kind of days really test us. I know the waiting will be hard but stay strong and it sounds like you'll be okay *hugs* But I am also sad to hear about your friends. Hopefully you have some others you can talk to about it? X

    @lsjhudson I’ve been craving salads too because of this lovely weather - it’s great! When it’s miserable outside or winter time I used to love comfort foods and cosy nights in with films and takeaways...not anymore though lol. Well done for sticking to/within your calorie allowance, it can be tough to do sometimes, but you’ve nailed it once again 🙌🏻 and thanks very much Laura, I’m definitely chuffed 🤗 💕

    Calories: Yes, pretty close though!
    Exercise: Yes. Hiking, 60 min.

    Glad to get out for a hike - despite heat, humidity and bugs! Much nicer hiking in the Smokey Mountains, TN, last week on vacation! Ate dinner at a salad bar tonight - a little of everything added up to lots of calories!

    @jeapri17 Nice day!

    @13point1runnermomma Nice day, lots of activity!

    @Fitness327wk Another great day!!

    @lsjhudson Nice job staying under and nice walk!!

    @o0kody0o Awesome day and Nice pics, really paints a pretty picture! Great job! You look great!

    @gjaholy33 Awesome loss!! You're chipping away at it!

    @tinak33 I think you're not giving yourself enough credit, you have done an amazing job this far, taking a little time for yourself isn't a bad idea. While I don't specifically know what feelings you're eating, I might suggest finding a different outlet for them, I tend to weightlift when I'm bored, even if it's just light technique work, and I tend to clean when I'm angry. Cleaning is like therapy for me for some reason. I've been known to clean out the pantry or the linen closet when I'm angry lol. Hang in there, take it one day at a time until you get back into your groove.
