@UTMom81 Thank you! It does help.
I tripped at my daughter's house last night on a brick sticking up from the grass that I didn't see. I expected to be up from all the bruising and swollen knee and hand but surprisingly wasn't (fell onto a concrete walkway and corner of the house.) Sore but I'll recover. Otherwise, had a very nice dinner. She even checked the menu with me before she set it to make sure it complied with my doctor's orders and my calories. I have a sweet daughter and son-in-law.

Good Morning!! Happy Sunday!! Where I Live today is Spring Forward day, where we change our clocks one hour ahead for Daylight Savings time. I love Spring Forward!! More daylight and it always feels like the turning point from winter here. We start to see nicer warmer days and I can feel Spring in the air!! It’s the perfect day for a run I think. I hate running but I worked really hard to be able to do it, so I keep it as part of my routine occasionally so I don’t lose the ability.2

Daily Check-in: Sunday 03/08
Calories: under
Water: 3.2L
Steps: 8,023
Exercise: Sunday Funday Walk
A new week is here! I’m happy that I’m still seeing the scale move down at a slightly faster pace now since I’ve made the changes my trainer has recommended. I still can’t believe what’s happening on the scale after upping my calorie intake. As he explained to me it’s not 2000 calories worth of Mc Donald’s. It’s 2000 calories of good whole clean foods that your body needs. Im excited to see how far I’ll be able to go now. I have my meeting with him in an hour. Wish me luck with my weigh in. Feeling embarrassed to face the gain I’ve had over the past year but it has to be done.
MARCH GOALS:
•Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
•Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
•Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
•Workouts -
Sun - Sunday Funday Walk
Mon - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻) + Monday Zumba
Tue - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
Wed - REST DAY
Thu - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)

Weigh-in day: Monday
Weigh-in March week 2
Previous: 238.3 lbs
Current weight: 235.5 lbs
That's almost 3 pounds. Not sure if I should believe the scale or not.
I'm starting to track my waist etc measurements today. So that I don't rely solely on the scale.
My tshirts fit a bit loose and a skirt I bought in December is slightly looser too. When I bought it, I could barely get the zip up and had to wear tshirts over the skirt. Now I can tuck them in.
I took the week off from the gym last week.
Going back to it today.
Goal:
1. Log all food and drink.
2. Get 8 hours of sleep
3. Exercise 4 times a week

Weekends are tough. Both Saturday and Sunday, I was under goal on steps and over on calories.
I did at least do days 6 (easy one), 7 and 8 of the plank challenge. Right now-just the thought of holding a plank for two minutes wears me out.
Hooray for a fresh start Monday!2 -
Monday check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 35 minutes (very slow walk with dog)
Water: success
Still feeling awful and it sucks cause it was really nice here today. I took my dog for a short walk but 35 minutes isn’t very far with Molly as she is a beagle and has to sniff everything. Hoping for a good nights sleep tonight (Molly was up twice last night). I am not setting any goals except reaching my water intake and getting a short walk, even if it is 20 minutes. BTW, do you know NyQuil has 93 calories per dose?1 -

Happy Sunday everyone. Ok so....upping my calories and adjusting my macros seems to be doing the trick. I’m on day 2 and currently down 1.6 lbs. That’s 0.4 loss yesterday and then 1.2 today. This is hard for me to believe as I’m eating much more. Obviously the macro change is doing something as well as I’m now doing higher protein and less carbs/fats. I do hope I’ve now found the trick after 4 years of trying to figure it out. I’m excited to tell my Trainer tomorrow morning. I still have those little doubt muscles working in my brain tho but I’m gonna stick to it!
Another change I made yesterday is I’ve stopped adding any type of sweetener to my coffee. I’m now drinking it black no sugar. It’s gonna be a hard adjustment but I’ve been working my way to this by cutting back slowly.

•Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.

Wow! That is a good drop @mari_moulin! I’ve often heard that sometimes we eat too few calories at times. I hope the trend continues for you! I’m at about the same calories level as your low number and the same macros but my weight loss is still a snails pace. I’m still working on forming some of my other good habits like water and steps. Your workout schedule is impressive. Something I’ll start working on as well.
We only have 2 confirmed cases in Alberta of the virus so far. Public spaces are still open but time will tell what happens next. Stay safe!1 -
Tuesday Check In
I was so happy that I did t gain over the weekend. I tracked everything I ate which motivated me to stay away from the junk. I hope to keep the momentum up this week. So far I am down .6 from my weigh in.
Goals for today:
1. Log and weight everything
2. Walk at lunch
3. Drink at least 60oz of water at work
4. No snacking when I get home from work - this is huge for me
5. Work out on my treadmill tonight
Big goal day for me! Wish me luck!1
