Sunday check in
Calories: over
Exercise: 23 minute walk
Water:✅
Steps 4/26 5,267
Ok, I have spent 3 days not being able to get a grip on my eating. As soon as I come close to the 60 pound loss it is like I sabotage myself. I have been trying to break this barrier for awhile. This morning I am almost up 8 pounds. I know a lot of it is water weight but it takes me days to get rid of it. My commitment to you guys and myself is by the end of the May challenge I will break through the 60 pounds lost.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 5km (if my leg cooperates)
2. Tai chi
3. Stay with in calorie goal
4. Pre log tomorrow
5. Drink 9 cups of water2 -

I know how you feel, I feel the same way, I’ve been on my last 20lbs for a while but as soon as I start making progress I feel like I let it go. For me i think that’s I am somewhat content with how I look now. So if my weight creeps up I put in some effort but once it’s back at content I ease up again, but I am not yet at my tru goal and it’s time that good enough stopped be good enough.
My goals today
Stay green for calories
Burn 750 active calories on my Apple Watch

Weight check in:
Last week 302.1
This week 300.83 -
I have a question - do I have to log my weight weekly or can I do it every 3 weeks?1

Two more new people for you, Downsizers! They are @kyfrancik and @lisasolo149 - they should be along to say hello soon.
In answer to your question, @MaddyJo2030 - you must weigh in every week. It does not have to be a loss every week - but it is the easiest way to catch a trend quickly and make adjustments as needed. A healthy, relatively steady loss is the ideal - and we tally everyone's weight every week.1 -

I've realized something the last couple of weeks. I've been in lockdown since 2nd week in March and wearing jammies and slippers (they're so very comfortable) is so easy. But, until I change into regular clothes and shoes, I don't get busy with my tasks ... just schlep around. Once I get changed, my mindset changes as well and I focus on my To-Do List for the day.
Perhaps I should get dressed earlier? Nah ... let's not get carried away!! LOL
