    Hi everyone,
    My name is Ben, I used to be a regular user of MFP but it slipped.

    I'm an obsessive runner and have taken part in many races and several marathons.

    I've been injured with a knee problem for 4mths and have been unable to run, because of this the lbs have started piling on so I thought I'd better do something about it!

    It's also my birthday today, so probably not the best week to start a challenge!😂

    @benbowers
    Happy Birthday!

    Congratulations to all participants of our Steps & Water Challenge! If you believe any of these numbers are wrong, please let me know! If you would like to view the spreadsheet, here is the spreadsheet:
    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iWcUZRydx45iHdPtp7oZrmNQUkl0Efln7kKLU1g7FUM/edit?usp=sharing

    Tip: If you cannot access the spreadsheet to edit(and you are on your phone), just copy only the url (as if you are copying all of the text) and it should give you the option to “Sheets” or “Copy” and either open using sheets, or paste into your mobile web browser.

    As always, if you are interested in joining our step/water challenge at any time, please feel free to tag me @cmhubbard92 and tell me what your weekly step goal is (daily x 7) and I will add you to the spreadsheet when I get a chance! :smile:

    @benbowers, Happy Birthday 🎉

    @cmhubbard92, I'd like to join the step and water challenges.
    The steps won't be major, but will give it my best try. (have mobility issues)
    Will try for 5,000 steps this first week and see how I do.
    Not sure how to use the spreadsheet?

    @brandi_84, I would also like to join your mini challenge and see how it goes.

    Saturday, August 1st

    I know the 1st was still part of the July Challenge, but it is part of my August restart mentality, so I am including it here.

    logged: yes
    under: yes
    exercise: yes, a 20 minute walk. It was one of those days where nothing went to plan, but I did manage to squeeze in a short walk before the rain.
    water: yes, I think I got in my 8 cups. My 1 litre water bottle, after closer inspection, needed to be permanently retired, so I used a half litre bottle instead and it is harder to keep track. I did buy a new one, so after it is washed today, I will have a new 1 litre bottle to work with for tomorrow.
    steps: 15,038

    Step & Water Challenge:

    Steps: 5,823 (currently-staying uplater to be more tired tomorrow morning)

    <50 net carbs: ✔(19)

    Reflections:
    I really wanted to get something good for dinner, but didn't want to sacrifice all my hard work, so I found a keto recipe for pizza that came out amazing! The main thing that made it a success, is you HAVE to bake the crust first to crisp it up! It came out great, and I ate half 😁
    Picture and recipe in Spoiler!

    Note: it did not give a bake time for after toppings, I baked it for 7 minutes. It definitely could have gone a little longer to get that nice bubbly top!

    Tomorrow is my wisdom teeth removal... I can't eat after 4am, so I am staying up a little late so that I can be tired enough to get back to sleep after I have a light breakfast early in the morning!

    @HASWLRS and @richmondwriter thank you!

    I thought I would miss the bready crust, but it was perfect. Simple to make, too! The only complaint was how small the slices were... apparently half of the pizza is "starving" my boyfriend 😂

    Thanks, @cmhubbard92 I will try to be very careful and listen to my body. I don't want to hurt myself either.
    I know there will be good and bad days in regards to what I'm able to do.

    Thanks for your concern, it's much appreciated. 😊

    On vacation this week so not sure how much time I will spend here. Will track, log and post as best I can. Apparently starting over eating yesterday after my son arrived. 😕 It's good to see him though since he lives in Seattle and hasn't been here since Christmas. We were going to go there, but then the riots started. 😳 Anyway... happy Monday!
