    Friday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 47 + 42 minute walks
    Water: ✅

    Steps 7/18 12,292

    No self care yesterday

    I binged slightly again last night. I noticed today that binges happens on the nights this week when my shoulder has kept me up. I have had a few days this last week with 4 or less hours sleep. The good news is I am going on Monday for my cortisone shot so maybe my sleep will improve and my eating along with it.

    I did not walk this morning as I am exhausted. I am off grocery shopping as soon as I finish my coffee. After the kids go home I am going to indulge in a nap this afternoon.

    Happy Saturday everyone!

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. Stay within calorie goal
    4. Drink 8 cups of water
    5. Bed by 11:30 pm

    This is such a great tool to help keep track of our goals. I did it for a few months and then lost track along the way. I’m planning on doing this again starting extra month once my move is done.

    Good morning!
    Yesterday I ate what I didnt eat in 55 days. I came exhausted from the hospital. I didn't sleep at all there. And it was arriving home and needing to move my *kitten*. We are fixing the garage and making a bedroom from it and that's quite some work. After that cleanning the house and basically non-stop.
    And that ended up in pizza, cola zero, sunflower seeds, vegan crispy chicken, a mini ice cream, 50 grams of chips, more cola zero....
    It could have been much worse I must say but I didn't have stuff at home and living in the mountains helps 🤣 No shops around unless you walk 2 hours.

    Some days are going to be like that so don’t beat yourself up. Today just start back on your normal routine. Sounds like that is a lot of work so on the plus side you probably burnt a ton of calories.

    You will probably see a good bit of this weight drop off in the next few days. I know on the days I over indulge my weight jumps drastically the next day. It seems to settle as I go back to normal eating. If you are sore and inflamed it will cause water bloat. Next week is going to be a great week for you.

    Saturday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 36 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Self care: had a nap

    Steps 7/18 8,222

    I went slightly over my calories yesterday but I did not binge. We had some higher calorie, yummy snacks which I did have some. I am determined to make it through the week binge free.

    I woke up really late this but I walked as soon as I got up. I am going to try and aim for 10,000 steps but we are going to my sons this afternoon and I have a lot to do before then. I have no idea what we are eating but I am going to enjoy everything while watching my portions. Of course there will be cake 🍰 for my daughter’s birthday.

    Let’s make this a great week!

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes minimum ✅
    2. 10,000 steps
    3. Stay within calorie goal
    4. Drink 8 cups of water
    5. Bed by 10:30 pm
