    Check-In: Friday, June 26

    •Log all food: Yes ✅

    •Exercise: Gym (❤️+💪🏻) ✅
    •Water: 2.750 L ✅
    •Steps: 11,406 ✅

    Well. Yet another gain for the month putting me UP 3.6 lbs for June. I don’t get it. I’ve been working out consistently. My intake has been decent and I’m drinking all the water. I’m back at the gym and started logging all my food again making sure I stay under. I got myself back on IF this past week as well. I seriously don’t know what’s going on. It doesn’t make sense.

    I hope next month is better. 😔

    Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

    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.
    •Drink at least 2L water each day.
    •Reach at least 10,000 steps each day.

    Maybe you should check in with your doctor and make sure it is not something medically causing the weight gain. I have an under active thyroid gland and when not medicated properly I will have weight gain.

    It’s been really bad this week. Fitbit wasn’t syncing. Finally did today after 2.5 days.

    Current week 291,8 lbs

    I'm having plenty of issues losing weight but I'm realising that mostly is because I don't sleep. Since i have the Samsung Galaxy Fit I can see the quality of my sleep and let me say this : there is no quality there! I sleep some days 1 minute of deep sleep in the whole night. Or even 0 minutes! And today that I slept 30 minutes deep BOOM 800 gram less. So I think that my sleep apnea is back and I will need to use a CPAP again. Which I hate but allows me to sleep.

    Friday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 56 minute walk
    Water: 👎

    Steps 6/26 13,115

    I over did it on the pizza yesterday. The family meal came with cinnamon twists with cream cheese. Of course I couldn’t resist. I am not too worried as my weekly average of calories will be well within my goal. The bump on the scale this morning was a little disheartening but I know the water weight will be gone in 3 or 4 days.

    I am later checking in this morning as I am like a zombie. I am running on very little sleep today. When the kids go home later I am going to indulge in a nap. I have my grocery shopping done and put away. I will get a walk in before I do that.

    Have a great Saturday!

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes
    2. Have a nap 😴
    3. Drink 8 cups of water
    4. Stay within calorie goal
    5. Bed by 11 pm

    If I did this right it is a link to the 2 ingredient pizza.

    https://www.messforless.net/2-ingredient-pizza-dough/
    Yes- this is the recipe. I really like a thin crispy crust so the next time I make it I think I will cook the crust a little before adding the toppings.

    Have you tried the 2-ingredient pizza dough? It uses 0-fat greek yogurt and flour. Top that with red sauce, low fat mozzarella, onion, mushrooms and turkey pepperoni and you have a great alternative to take out pizza. Easy to make and might be a fun activity depending on the kiddos ages. I was craving pizza and didn't want to take the hit of take out calories so I was glad I found this option.

    Have you tried fathead dough? I cannot eat gluten and this helps me a lot.

    Yes, I used to make this when I was doing Keto. Its a good option too. Lots of different ways to use that recipe and make it sweet or savory.

    Have you had a 'rest day' since getting back to the intense gym workouts? Your muscles could be in a constant state of repair and holding on to water?

    Start using your cpap. I have sleep apnea. It was mild but with the weight gain it ended up getting worse. My oxygen was dipping down to 80% but by the time I went back for the results I had lost a good bit of weight. They redid the sleep study and my sleep apnea had improved a lot. I still was supposed to get a machine but the pandemic hit. I think I am going to get the sleep study done again as I have stopped snoring since I lost more weight. So I guess what I am trying to say is with weight loss both my sleep and sleep apnea improved drastically. Maybe by using your machine you can get better sleep and improving both the quality of your sleep and snowball your weight loss.

    Congrats on the loss!

    Hello team, I have been absolutely horrible this month with getting on here and checking in. One of my goals for the month of July will be to check-in each day! Weight loss is still happening, a little slower than I had hoped but can't complain because it is all my bad habits these past few weeks, very little water and not consistently tracking. We have been on the go so much half way in-between home and the hotel that exercise and food choices have both been poor.
