Today I am going to the beach with my daughter and grandkids. We are taking the kids to a fry place for lunch. I will only get the smallest order possible. I should be able to stay under my calorie goal for the day. I have supper on in the slow cooker so I don’t have to worry about that when I get home. I only got a little over 15 minute walk this morning as I had a lot to get done. I will try for another 15 when I get home but I don’t think I will get my 10,000 steps in today.
Happy Tuesday!

Amazing loss!! Well done this week 👍🏻stephipeanut wrote: »
Hi team DOWNSIZERS! I'm Stephi from Germany (please don't mind my English spelling). I am 28 years old and currently weigh 87 kg / 191.8 lb. Four years ago I weighed 65 kg / 143.3 lb. Since I changed my job (I now work in an office) and have been in a relationship for just over 4 years I have gained a lot of weight. I would love to maybe one day fit back into my old clothes (since I have so many) so I'm looking forward to the next weeks with you guys.
My highest weight was: May 2019: 94,6 kg / 208.5 lb
Lowest weight without proper effort: September 2019 80,3 kg / 177 lb
Current weight: June 2020 87 kg / 191.8 lb
Since I don't have a step tracking device except from my iPhone which I don't carry around with me all the time I can't really track my exact steps but my goal is to go for a 5 k / 3.1 mile walk every evening.
I eat mainly plant based and try to cook everything myself. I prep smoothies in mason jars and freeze them so I haven't really been weighing out all my ingredients.
That's all for now but I will be checking in every day and cheering you guys on.
I'm very happy to be part of this team! x
Welcome to the team! I’m in France so not too far from you! I’m happy you’ve joined us and alloys to join you on your journey!stephipeanut wrote: »Check-in Sunday, 28.06.2020

I also love quiche and love making my own. We can easily buy them ready made but it’s just not the same. I make a mean Mexican quiche!

Self care challenge: declutter and cleaned stand in kitchen (long overdue)
My water weight from my pizza indulgence Friday night is almost gone. We had breakfast for supper last night so I think the bacon and sausage will cause it to hang around for another day or two.
I am trying this week to rid myself of my Cheerios for a snack at night habit. They are to high in sugars and my blood glucose readings have been sneaking up in the mornings lately. I like them cause I would eat one cheerio at a time and it makes the snack last forever. Now to figure out something I like that will like and take me awhile to eat.
Have a super day all!
Today’s goals
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Walk minimum 30 minutes ✅
3. Drink 8 cups of water
4. 10,000 steps

Great job with the self care! I love doing breakfast for supper. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and when I get to do it twice I’m a happy girl. Good luck finding an alternative snack to Cheerios. Not easy finding a low calorie alternative to something like that. Other than fresh cut veggies 🤷🏻♀️ I’m clueless.Murphyi150 wrote: »Murphyi150

I remember that from before. I am in London. We went to Port Stanley today, so we drove right past St. Thomas. As long as you keep trying you are winning. I shudder to think where I would be if I ever stopped trying.1 -
