    Happy 4th July American friends!

    Well, I made my steps because we parked nowhere near the hospital! 13026 in total. Alas we did not feel like the cinema... treats wise, I went to the deli and brought some rhubarb cider, smoked cheese, and loose leaf tea.

    The appointment was not so great for answers. More scans needed before the op. But the op must be. Rough times ahead... :'(

    Thinking of you lots @Wishusdonna! Sending positive vibes across the ocean,

    Thursday Check In--Happy 4th of July, everyone!
    Calories: under (without using the exercise calories)
    Exercise: kayak this morning that burned 600 calories (not sure I believe that, but that's what Endomondo said)
    Water: good

    Today's Goals:
    1. Water—at least 80 oz :)
    2. Kayak and bike/walk/swim-- >:) did the kayak, but nothing else formal. Cleaned house all day though, so I'm still tired.
    3. Track food-- :)
    4. IF—18:6 (eat from noon to 6:00). Yes, I was only off by about 15 min, so I'm calling that a win on a holiday.

    Tomorrow's Goals:
    1. Water--at least 80 oz.
    2. Bike ride early, then it's air travel day
    3. Track food
    4. IF--16:8

    Thanks @UTMom81 and @Kres567 - I had some giggles last night as it was so hot I went to put on my shorts pyjamas instead of long pyjamas and the vest would not go over the bump. But on one side, I can see my ribs. It's crazy! But I shouldn't have long to go.

    Calories under, water fine, and a whopping 16115 steps yesterday, mainly from walking about watering plants!

    Weigh in week: 1
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous weight: 208.6
    Current weight: 208.6

    I’m happy with this number. I was up again at the start of the week and have come down after the long weekend. I’m working to have that number continue to drop little by little over the week.

    The Calgary Stampede is on for the next 10 days in Calgary and I’ve got a few activities relating to that which can revolve around BBQs, pancake breakfasts and other treats. Going to be mindful, get my water and steps in.

    Thursday check-in
    Calories OVER! Went overboard yesterday at a party. My uncle was BBQing and normally I'm not much of a meat eater, but he used to do BBQ competitions and ran a BBQ catering business on the side, he makes amazing food! I'm definitely not good at sitting by the pool with a lot of food in front of me. Oh well, today's back on track. I'm still full so I'm skipping breakfast.
    Exercise yesterday- core, recumbent bike

    Today's plan
    Back on track eating-wise.
    Exercise planned- elliptical, weights, recumbent bike, some time gardening as neighbor gave me an agave plant with a bunch of babies he was going to throw away and I need to finish potting them all, plus have some tomatoes to harvest and want to plant more radishes.

    Weigh in day Friday
    starting weight: 219.5
    current weight 218.2

    Friday Challenge (and daily) Check-in of week 1 July
    Food: all food logged, all on plan, under on calories (so far so good, all planned meals will be under)
    Water: # 4 so far - might make goal of 12, I am on my second 4-cupper, only 1 to go after this!
    Exercise: a 40 minute walk on the board walk and then a 15 minute walk at the state park

    Next Day Goals
    Food: make choices that are good for me, under stats wise - and YUMMY!
    Water: stated differently - 4 32oz tumblers worth
    Exercise: a bike ride and kayaking
    Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey

    I actually weighed on Wed., as I do not have a scale where I am but didn't change the weight until my official weigh-in day. Hope that's not confusing... => When in Raleigh, NC (currently in Morehead City, NC), I weigh daily but only sporadically record in MFP because I wait for a loss that seems to stick. I am one whose weight can really fluctuate so I like to be sure.

    Friday Check In
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 2 hours whitewater rafting class IV

    We’re having a great time in Colorado! Whitewater rafting was a great workout! Ii’m enjoying some treats while making an effort to make healthy choices most of the time. At lunch today, I learned I really like leeks which I hadn’t ever had before.

    Well that was a huge disappointment.

    Hey there, I so sympathize. We all do.

    Big picture, you have held on to that big drop you had the last week of June, which is great news! And that despite this being a holiday week, which is also great news!

    Are your clothes getting looser? The scale number is not always helpful. Sometimes a shrinking waist measurement is far more telling.

    Is there anything you want to tweak in terms of food or exercise this week? There may not be. I'm just a big fan of looking for ways to get a little bit better, week by week.
