exercise: yes, 98 minutes of walking
water: yes, 10 cups
steps: 19,701
I walked 5 miles yesterday for another challenge, but it was too much. I am sore today, and I have a toe that feels bruised! I will get my steps in today in the kitchen, as it is my husband's birthday and I am making dinner. But probably no formal exercise.
WEIGH-IN
Today: 175.8
Last week's binge inflated weigh-in: 180.2
Happy Dance....I have lost 19 pounds since April 1st. (Yes, that's a long time taken to lose 19 pounds!) It's not my Covid-19, as these pounds all happened way before Covid!!
Awesome awesome job!!!3 -

I am thinking I need to get back to my gym cause just taking the walks clearly aren’t enough for me. I might give that a go Monday or Tuesday
@erikNJ my gym is still closed 😕
Ours just opened around labor day. I have been using the excuse that I don’t feel comfortable going. But in reality my job had me going out to stores and restaurants even back in March/April when the pandemic was new and scary. So I have not had a fear of public places. Probably just making things up in my head so I had an excuse to not go 🤷🏻♂️2 -

@HASWLRS Great job Lisa! And sorry about your foot hurting. You should get a bike! 😉 Your team will miss you but you can probably pick up some non-exercise type things.1 -

@prehistoricmoongoddess
My goal is always 12 cups (96oz) a day. I always start my day by chugging 2-4 cups before work just cause I know I will be hydrated from the start and that will encourage me to keep at it. I know mine is also a very aggressive goal.
And it’s actually a good thing you’t drink tea or coffee. Most people think cause they are liquids that counts as water but they are both the opposite. They actually dehydrate us.
Gosh that is a lot. I've hardly had any yet today even after exercising. I just forget.0 -
@prehistoricmoongoddess, MFP's minimum recommendation for water is 8 cups, or 64 ounces or 2000 ml or 2 litres. (Those are not exact conversions, but those are what is used). Definitely if you are exercising, your body will need more that. And if you are heavier, you will need more than that (you're not, though). Some say to drink half your body weight in ounces. For me, I aim for 8 cups minimum, but feel better at 10 to 12 cups. The trick is to get it in early in the day, or else you wake up in the night!! Since you drink hardly any at all right now, I would start small. Like maybe aim for 1 litre to start?
Thanks for the advice. I realised when I started exercising today that I hadn't had any so I opened my first bottle. After a small amount I went back to exercising and had a little more after that. I then had breakfast, had a few mls more then went out in the afternoon and promptly forgot all about drinking.
My first bottle is not even half empty! But I don't feel any thirst. I'd planned to drink some orange juice and milk today as well. Not had either of them yet or dinner.
I will try for one litre tomorrow. I tried once before by putting enough glasses out for the day to remind me. It's time to do that again I think.1 -

Another fresh start coming tomorrow. Sorry I haven't been active much, I am not feeling so hot overall... I am going to be trying to get ahold of my doctor on Monday because I am still feeling exhausted... I even felt exhausted after my coffee this morning... maybe it's my iron levels, I was anemic before(due to a very messed up period schedule, some lasting multiple weeks) and it may have not fully went away...

@cmhubbard92, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. You are smart to go see your doctor....why prolong it, especially if a remedy is close at hand after the appointment! Well done on eking out a loss this week. When one is feeling tired, foods of convenience and comfort (read: high sugar, high salt, high fat) are often the ones that are grabbed first!0

I'm sorry I am late on this:
9/19 weigh in: 141
Previous weight: 141.6
I would have to remember what I ate for dinner and the snacks for 9/18 and 9/19, so I think I will take a pass on the tracking and just move forward.3 -
@brandi_84 - I agree with others that this is a small gain, and maybe only a temporary one due to weight fluctuation. You have a good plan & just stick with it. Sunday is always a great time for a fresh start.

@HASLRS - fantastic loss since April! Only one more pound and you will be 20 down, another milestone!2

@richmondwriter, nice loss this week, especially since you are not completely in control of the food in your house right now! And thank you for your kind words!
@murdog3t, we all get going in the wrong direction from time to time. Figure out why, (you probably already know), and then turn it around!!1 -

logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: a scant 20 minutes of a tough darabee workout
water: yes, 10 cups
steps: 8,623
Yesterday was my husband's birthday. I made dinner, so I was able to log it fairly accurately. (He was out golfing all day, so going out to dinner didn't make sense. Plus we are meeting up with some good friends this Friday at a nice steakhouse). I had overdone it on the steps the day before, so no formal walking, only steps from being in the kitchen. I did do a darabee workout for another Challenge....I said I wouldn't but, they needed a body.

@cmhubbard92 I hope you feel better soon. Realize that I know nothing of such things, only an armchair expert, could it be the keto flu? Good luck at the Dr and be sure to tell them about diet. Hopefully it will be something as easy as taking a supplement. Good luck. 🤗0
