    Daily Post August 17
    Tracked: Yes
    Under Calorie: Yes
    Exercise: Yes
    Steps: 10742
    Water: 113 oz

    It was my son's first day of pre-K so no walk with him in the middle of the day like we've been doing. I went out at night at took an hour walk around the neighborhood. I did too much snacking yesterday. I think the stress of the wedding is getting to me already. I stayed under calorie due to my exercise calories but I haven't been that high for calories in a little while now. Starting tomorrow I'm basically not gonna leave my kitchen for 3 days so I'm not sure how my steps will be for the rest of the week. If I get enough done during the day maybe I can try for my nightly walk, we will see.

    You are going to miss him for your daily walks. I hope you are able to get out for your walk even if it is a short one. It may relieve some of the wedding stress.

    Never apologize! We all have ups and downs. You have had a very trying week. I know it will be a long process of grieving for you. Hugs!

    Tuesday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: lots of walking while shopping
    Water:✅
    Steps: 9,651

    It was a great day celebrating my granddaughters birthday yesterday. I made good choices at the restaurant for breakfast. I had a smaller supper cause I knew the cheesecake my daughter made would have lots of calories. I did eat a bigger piece of cheesecake than I should have but I logged it. I did not have any late night eating last night and I hope it continues tonight.

    My Dad was admitted to hospital yesterday. He had a heart attack back in March and also received a pacemaker. I am hoping it is only for a few days. He lives in Newfoundland and I am in Ontario. Newfoundland has their borders closed to most of the rest of Canada so I can’t really go there. I am just praying that everything will be ok.

    I am busy today getting the apartment ready for some upgrades they are doing tomorrow.


    Have a super Wednesday!


    Daily goals
    1. No late night snacking

    What is your go to comfort food and how do you keep it under control?


    My comfort food is potato chips. I will eat a family size bag in one sitting. To keep it under control I only buy a small snack size when I want them.

    Before I went keto/low carb Potato chips was my down fall ........now it seems to be Pistachios (at least I measure them ) I could eat a 5 lb bag if I wasn't weighing my food :)

    I have forgotten to stop by and hold myself accountable. Well her goes, it was a disappointing week, while my weight has gone down, I will still post my exact weight on Monday 🥺

    Monday 8/17 weight: 235.8 😵
    Steps:
    8/14:8,055
    8/15:4,536 😔
    8/16: 6,305
    8/17: 7,096
    8/18: 6,153
    Water: a minimum of 40 ounces, not including what’s used for my morning coffee ☕️
    Have I been tracking? Everyday! Sometimes I forget to put dinner, but I try to catch up the next day.
    Do I exercise? Yes! EVERYDAY! This week has been a struggle, but I have been getting it in.
    Goals: I have to get back to my minimum of 10,000 steps a day (Monday-Friday) so I will make it a point to get it at least for the next two days. In addition, tracking every little morsel.

    Way to get that walk in! Hopefully you are feeling better! But doesn’t it feel great to go for that walk and soak in the scenery?
