    Track: Part-tracked
    ☹️Calories: I know I would’ve been over a bit
    ☹️Exercise: None
    💬Comments: I seriously need to get my $**t together! I’m eating junk here and there, and I’m justifying it by telling myself I’ve already hit, and went way past my original goal weight so it’s “allowed”. I’m going to give myself a week to get back on track, starting from today. I can and will do this 😞

    Track yes
    Calorie range yes, 34 g of fiber 2 veg 5 fruit
    Exercise yes. Hiked 4.55 miles
    Had a rare break in the sun and humidity, so I was finally willing to go to my fav trail, instead of doing my normal loop, I just kept walking and called for husband to drive to pick me up. New goal, do the entire trail as a loop.

    Thanks everyone for your kind words. My sweet Carly crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 12:30am this morning. I did get to go see her last night before she passed. Every night she would crawl up in my lap and rub her face all over my face before she laid down to nap. I will miss that.

    My condolences I know that had to be tough

    Struggling. The bod is telling me it doesn’t like what I’m putting into it. My joints are aching. All my fault. I have yet to have someone hold me down and stuff chips in my face.

    Barely hanging on. Need to get my head back in the game.

    You and me both but all we can do is stay focus on the present and don't sweat about yesterday or the future

    And also if you're participating in the Daily Post's challenge, please label your post with "daily post" when I go back through, I search through the thread using that modifier so that I can find them quickly. And this week I will likely be relying on that since I'm so very far behind.

    I'll help you as best as I can I know I've been in my own zone lately but have been trying to check in twice a day now instead of once every other day. Sorry.

    Day 4 of my Squat Challenge after 2 day rest since I had PT on Wednesday but in accordance with my Physical Therapist I'm only doing 125 squats continously for the next 2 weeks before moving up so as not to injure myself. Exercising smart by using wisdom and listening to my body.

    I did my daily check in last night when everything was complete, but I think I am going to switch and do my daily check ins in the morning. More alert.
    I’ve never made curry, but those pics look fabulous!
    Gloria congrats on those squats! And thanks for sending us the positive encouraging messages!

    You're welcome! Congrats on your weight loss

    Someone posted this on my FB post of Black Women losing weight but I feel it applies to everyone on this journey

    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
    When funds are low and the debts are high,
    And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
    When care is pressing you down a bit,
    Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
    Life is queer with its twists and turns,
    As every one of us sometimes learns,
    And many a failure turns about,
    When he might have won if he'd stuck it out.
    Don't give up, though the pace seems slow -
    You may succeed with another blow.
    Often the goal is nearer than
    It seems to a faint and faltering man;
    Often the struggler has given up
    When he might have captured the victor's cup,
    And he learned too late, when the night slipped down,
    How close he was to the golden crown.
    Success is failure turned inside out -
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
    And you never can tell how close you are -
    It may be near when it seems afar;
    So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
    It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
    - by John Greenleaf Whittier

    @gjaholy33 No need to apologize. I normally have more time to devote here, however this week and the end of last, that just hasn't been the case.

    CW: 140.8 lbs

    Starting to real it back in and get better control of my intake again. Sadly, I'd like to lose a little more body fat, however I don't necessarily care if I lose more weight, so it's sort of a weird place to be in, but ultimately I will still be losing weight to lose the fat.
