Month goal with a week and a half left?!! 👍0 -
@erikNJ thank you! You described it perfectly. Maybe the loss will show up next week. In the meantime my legs are so tired from walking which is a good feeling.
@mirendybryant 30,000 step count is great. Hope your little one has a great first day of kindergarten.

Weigh in Wednesday
Last week- 230.4
This week- 231.6
⬆1.2lbs
Idk what happened. I've been under my calorie goals, exercised and drank more than enough water. Maybe just stress. My baby girl started kindergarten this morning. She's super excited but I'm so nervous for her.
Don’t let it get you down! Stress always makes me retain water and bloat ugh. You can easily see a loss next weigh in...keep on course. You got this!!1 -

No apologies needed! One pound isn’t bad! You can make it up this week. At least you’re still weighing in! Keep going girl!

Hi,
Saturday, 8.17: yes/yes/yes
Sunday, 8.18: yes/yes/no exercise (rest day)
Monday, 8.19: yes/yes/yes
Tuesday, 8.20: yes/yes/yes
I feel like I'm doing the minimum right now. I am tired and achy all the time, my fibromyalgia flared up again because of the stress of my kid returning to school. Today I was so tired, I barely was able to drive her to school, manage a 20-minute walk, finish a work project by the 8 am deadline--and then I slept from 8 until I had to pick her up at 1 (early release). Honestly, I could go back to sleep right now... gotta hang in there...4 -
Fall is almost here 🍁😍 I don't know about you guys but it's my favorite season. I love the crisp air and smells. The Fall flavors tho usually come packed with the calories tho unfortunately. So I've been collecting up since recipes to get all those yummy fall flavors without all the extra calories. Here's the first one I want try. Sorry for the book here but wanted to share in case someone else feels the same 💜

1 med yellow onion diced
2 med apples diced
2 med Butternut squash diced

1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4-1 1/2 cups coconut milk
Optional toppings
Toasted pumpkin seeds
Fresh sage
Nonfat Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
1) cook the onions till translucent in skillet while roasting squash and apples
2) transfer squash, apples, broth and spices to a crockpot. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high 3-4 hours. Until squash and apples are tender.

Mini challenge, Monday, 8/20/19
Tracked - yes
Under - yes
Exercise - no
Plan was to go walking in the afternoon, but rain showers stopped that from happening. I need to plan to have an indoor activity available for times when the rain comes (it happens a lot in SW Louisiana).
Maybe check out youtube exercise videos? Amazon Prime also has a lot of videos included with the sunscription as well
@erikNJ Thanks for the suggestion. Had no idea Amazon Prime had exercise videos - I’ll definitely check it out.0 -
@ethelsmommy I hope you feel better soon.1

Mon: yes/yes/yes
Tues: yes/yes/rest day (under calories but BAD choices)

Monday weigh in: 153.4 ibs
Loss: 0.6Ib (feels like a lot of effort went into a small loss, heho!)
Must now work to stop feeding my sugar addiction. I thought I'd cured it as I'm largely sensible with eating these days but clearly the last two days have shown this not to be the case!2 -
Weigh In Day
First, I apologize for letting you down! I think the stress, travel, moving and empty nest caught up with me this week. Despite being under calories and added exercise, I've made some high carb high sodium choices and it shows. Hope to do better next week as I settle into the new home routine.

@mirendybryant thanks I had a great hike yesterday! Got my steps in and found out that it burns lots of calories even though we were walking very slow we had lots of elevation changes and avoiding roots etc. I was exhausted although we only walked 5.5 km (3.4 miles) @heaz10 how was your hike?0 -

@heaz10 --you, too! Thank you! I do feel a bit better today. We walked for 40 minutes this morning, which might have been pushing it a little bit in the Florida heat and humidity. I'm aiming for a "napless Thursday," LOL, but if I need to, I will (not like I get a choice, but you know what I mean.) Gotta take each day a step at a time. Have a great one!
