    🍰, a bit too many pieces of cake/ pie/ brownies and chocolate this week for breakfast lunch AND dinner , oops 🙁, off to try again with portion control this week.

    Thankfully it was sunny and 50’s today so I took advantage of the beautiful weather ! We had rain , sleet and snow this past week, crazy weather pattern near Lake Erie !
    Happy Saturday everyone 🙂

    Week 4 Pulse check: Who's still present and accounted for? Let's pull in together and finish April strong!!ahyx8w8dffa8.jpg

    I am here, but this month has been a absolute struggle for me. I have been super busy. I am in a food rut. I ran out of low cal balanced ideas. The produce at the store lately has been crap. So I have resorted to comfort foods and my weight shot straight up.
    I can tell it has an impact on my mood as well.

    I am trying today to get back to planning and staying away from the Doritos. Everytime this happens I feel like I should quit because I am not helping the team to be the biggest loser and I haven't been a good co captain or cheerleader for the team. But tbeing on the team helps me remember to get back up.

    Brandi, I am so grateful for all your help in keeping us on track! It's a lot of work, but it is most appreciated. This is a difficult time right now but I know you can get back in the swing of things...just one day at a time.

    @richmondwriter Thank you.
    I am looking forward to starting the new month and getting back on track.

    Ugh, not sure what happened. I feel like my workouts have been spot on, but I know my sugar has been on the high side even though I'm within my calories. Definitely was not expecting to gain a pound and a half.

    I feel like we're in a good flow with home schooling. Now we just need to survive the next 4 weeks. There's light at the end of the tunnel, at least for that.

    You have been doing all the right things. This fluctuation is not unusual. Just keep doing what you're doing and it will pay off soon!

    So, I ended up *not* roasting veggies for my lunch, and played around with eggplant, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. I ate two of these for my lunch, and it has left me pretty full! I need to change it a little next time, the eggplant was a little too watery!

    Tonight will be a mixed veggie and tilapia dinner(and maybe another one of these babies as another side!), and I will be cutting up veggies for roasting, tomorrow!

    These look delicious! Very healthy meal planning.

    Week4 Weigh-in
    Username: Krysless2
    Weigh in day: Sat, April25th
    Current week's weight:
    156lbs

    This weeks summary:
    DailyGoals CountOff:
    MUAC: 4 of 7days
    Water Intake: 4 of 7days
    Steps: 6 of 7days
    I.F.(16:8): 3 of 7days

    My ultimate goal is to complete the MUAC on a daily and I'm starting to notice that if I don't complete the water challenge or my personal Intermittent Fasting challenge, most likely I'm not staying under calories for the day. I'll keep a closer eye on this through May...

    Week3: 156.5lbs
    Week2: 157.8lbs
    Week1: 158.7lbs
    April Sw: 161.4lbs

    I will take this!
    I listened to the advice and just change one thing to get back on track. It's exercising at this point and I'm starting to log again...tomorrow. Fresh start over.

    @cmhubbard92 I’m going up my goal to 9000 steps per day this month and rejoin the water challenge. I’m definitely not drinking enough for this hot weather.

    Ok, major catch up here. I started out last week so strong then fell off by the weekend.

    First, Friday weigh in 131. Still the same.

    Now mini-challenges
    4/23
    Tracking: yes
    Within calories: yes
    Exercise: yes
    Steps:8,762

    4/24 - 4/26 I did not track and have no idea if I was within my calories. I'm sure it was close either way. Here are my exercise and steps for those days.

    4/24 was a major work day... I sat at my desk for way too long
    Exercise: nope
    Steps: 3,634 (SEE! That is the fewest steps I think I've ever gotten unless I was sick!)

    4/25
    Exercise: yes
    Steps: 21,344 (made up for Friday :D )

    4/26
    Exercise: yes
    Steps: 16,342

    Happy Monday!
