Steps 6/19 11,584
Well not surprising my weight spiked 3 pounds due to the McDonald’s. It is frustrating that it takes 3 to 4 days for the scales to drop back down. I do tend to have a salty treat every weekend. I think next weekend I will avoid it and see if it changes my rate of loss at all.
Yesterday I found it hard to get a consistent longer walk done. I may not get a walk in today as I am finally getting my hair done. I haven’t had it cut since December so I am long overdue.
Had a nice evening with the grandkids. They are staying until 11am. I am off grocery shopping in a few minutes.
Happy Saturday all!
Today’s goals
1. Stay within calorie goal

Happy Saturday teammates. I’m running late today as I had a busy morning doing some last minute shopping for Father’s Day. We are going to be smoking a brisket for our guests tomorrow and needed to make sure we had all we need as all shops close on Sunday’s in France.
After my shopping I ran home and quickly got dressed so I could go to my Zumba class. It’s an outdoor class and boy it was so hot. We are doing them in the parking lot of my gym and we were in the sun while doing it. It was the most calories I’ve burned during a Zumba class and I’m sure it was all because of how hot it was. I was soaked in sweat and my feet were burning on the asphalt! But I got it done and had an awesome burn and lots of fun like always.
Today’s weigh-in is not good. I’m up a few ounces from last week. I have been back at the gym and weight training again for 2 weeks now after not having done it for over 3 months. I don’t know how much longer I can use muscle gain as an excuse for the scale going up but I’m hoping that’s why I’m still gaining.
Whatever. Have a wonderful Saturday Fam ❤️
June goals:
•Log all food. The good the bad and the ugly!
•Stay on or under my allowed calorie goal.
•Do at least 30 minute workout each day.

Yesterday was another migraine day for me as it was really hot, will be the same today as well but hoping to not have another migraine. I finally took the food scale to the hotel so I can start weighing my food again. We have a studio kitchen so I can eat almost normally. Yesterday felt like it was the first day of getting back on track despite the migraine. I was happy to see the weight loss yesterday, it gives me the motivation to not give up!3 -

Hii everyone.
This week has been quite horrible.
Last Saturday I was 292.3 and I was losing weight slowly but little by little doing something. Then Monday I was 291,2 and I was quite happy because in kg is 132.1 kg, so I thought Tomorrow I change the number! And I did, but up. Tuesday out of nowhere I was 294'5 Wtf!
Then Wednesday i was 295, 8 🙀
Thursday I was 294,5 and Friday 292,9
Today I'm in 292,5 which makes that my weight is higher than Last week 😿😿😿 And I'm really sad for it.
I'm putting all my effort and I don't see results as it should.
My steps
15 June 10.459 steps
16 June 13.379 steps
17 June 11.475 steps
18 June 11.315 steps
19 June 7.939 steps
I hope next week everything goes good3 -

That’s great you did the workout in the heat. I think I would not be able to handle that. Your gain is not very much. I think your body is adjusting to the new workouts.1 -

Sounds like you may have had a spike in weight due to sodium intake. Looks like it has been on a downward trend since Wednesday. Take a look at your meals from Monday and Tuesday. Did you have a meal out that could have a lot of sodium?2 -

I slept in this morning and it felt great. Due to getting up later it was too warm to walk outside so I walked indoors. It already feels like 33C/91F with the humidity and it is only 10:30 am. It is at the point now that it is not real cool in the morning. I am hoping the pool opens soon. There was a sign outside saying news is coming about outside amenities soon. Cross your fingers that it will open.
We are going to my daughters for a Father’s Day supper. I love any reason to spend time with my kids and grandchildren. I am hoping to stay within calories but it is hard to log when eating somewhere else.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 45 minutes ✅
2. Stay within calorie goal
3. Drink 8 cups of water
4. Bed by 10 pm

It is when you leave the 200’s and go to the 100’s. So hit 199.9 or lower.1 -

Don’t say you failed. As long as you are trying I think your a winner. Think what your weight would be if you stopped what you are doing. As for IF, it got my weight loss moving again. It is the best thing I did.2 -

Back on track this week. My weight yesterday was 165.9 and I was super excited to see that! I've been drinking more water and getting more sleep. Overall a good week, but feeling worn out because I think I overdid the exercise. I don't think I trust the calories burned for Kayaking so I lowered my minutes. Today I only logged my gym workout but then I spent 4 hours in the yard with a weighted plate compacting gravel on my path. Hopefully that shows up on the scale next week.

ok. Here goes nothing. I think my biggest problem this week is Aunt Flow is coming and she stresses me out. I got my water in(not all but more than nothing) today 76 oz 🤗 and even though it was half a day I got my steps half way goal 20000 today 9760.
I'm moving forward. Not looking back!🥺 its scary back there. 😆
