@lindamtuck2018 - good luck at you appointment today. I love my Apple Watch. My favorite thing is that it’s cellular, so I don’t have to drag my phone along when I exercise outdoors. It does all of the GPS tracking, plus make and receives calls without needing to be tethered.
@missGYST - 25lbs is so close, that’s so exciting. This is my first month in this challenge and I really feel that it’s making a difference for me with accountability. I can’t wait to post that I hit the 25lb mark.2 -

I’ve been hitting my goals all week and should post about a pound loss tomorrow. I’d prefer 1.5 but a loss is a loss. Let’s see what the scale brings tomorrow. I feel like I’m in the groove right now so if it’s a pound a week, I am ok with that. I feel balance with my diet and exercise and I don’t feel cheated or overwhelmed.3 -

Treadmill 1 mile --- Yes
Water (60 oz) -- 48 OZ -NOPE
Workout 3x week -- Sept 8 x 1, Sept 9 x1, Sept 10 x1 - week completed
2000 steps -- 2658 steps today
Logged all food/drink -- yes2 -
Steps: 4,102
Today was another day where I spent the majority of the day in the car. My eldest daughter has had a flare of her JRA for the last 4 days and rheumatology couldn't get her in so we went to her PCP and was there for a couple of hours. They really weren't sure what to do so they're putting a call in to get her to the specialist ASAP.
I did manage to get my hourly steps in for 8 of the 10 goal hours so at least there is that. I stayed on track diet wise and even found these super yummy apple caramel crunch mixed nuts! (ok,...I probably went a little overboard on those) But other than that I had an air fried chicken breast with some light spinach alfredo. It was delicious and also very convenient.
Tomorrow I weigh in with my primary care doctor. I am anxious to see how she feels. I did have that bit of time after my middle little's birthday where I fell off and ate like complete crap for a while and I also was not taking the phentermine or my white kidney bean extract as I should have. I am still down so hopefully, she will be okay with that. I also have a training session tomorrow with my personal trainer so here is to getting my life back on track!

Remember a 1 pound loss a week is 52 pounds a year. I would be happy with .5 a week for 26 pounds a year.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »Daily Checkin Sept 10, 2020

I am glad I lost some of the weight I gained last week. Hopefully, I can stay on a binge free streak and get the rest of it off next week.
My doctors appointment didn’t go the way I wanted it. It is not a problem with my veins. I have to start over again with my family doctor. My leg has pain that gets worse as the day goes on and I get numbness in my foot. My leg swells up pretty bad too. Once early afternoon hits it is very painful to walk so if I don’t get my walking done early it is not going to get done at all. The specialist said it is possible that it is related to my rheumatoid arthritis and/or my neuropathy. I am calling both my family doctor and rheumatologist today to start the next steps. I am bummed out but I am not going to eat my emotions away.
My granddaughters have been her since last night. They are staying again tonight. We are going to walk in a bit and then play games for the afternoon.
Happy FriYAY!

I took a rest day from exercise. I haven't had a rest day in a couple of weeks and just felt like one was needed. Did a little work on the closet, did all the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. I wasn't completely sedentary or anything, just no formal exercise.3 -

OMG I’m so dumb lol. I’m terrible for not reading labels and I just realized that I haven’t been buying the sugar-free 5 calorie each jello like I thought I was, it’s full sugar and 70 cals each. Not too bad I suppose except I eat low carb and I have been known to eat like 5 jello cups at a time cuz they were “only 5 calories” and “no carbs” 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Now I understand the slower loss this week 😂🤣😭1

Today was my doctor's appointment and to be quite honest, I wasn't looking forward to it. However, I got there and stepped on the scale to find out that in a little over just a month, I lost 17 pounds!!!! I had a rough week or two where I wasn't staying on track or doing anything other than working so I was super and pleasantly surprised!
I also went and met with my personal trainer today and he kicked my butt! We did a full-body workout and I am so SORE! No pain no gain right? lol Anywho, I work the next 2 days but I will be checking in tomorrow morning! Hoping the scale keeps moving for me!
Have a great night ya'll!4 -

Not my best week. Lots of stress, hubby had his endoscopie on Monday then his outpatient surgery on Tuesday. I’ve done lots of stress eating and snacking and even if I made it to the gym I seriously abused food this week. I’m planning on going back on IF this coming week and hope to manage some damage control. Sorry for this weeks gain team 😔🤦🏻♀️6 -
Good morning.
Today my weight is 132,6 kg = 292,3 lbs and I must say that I'm not even bothered. I started to have a cold around 3 days ago, toguether with the sleeping machine. Which, trust me, is not a good combination. Tonight I couldn't even use the CPAP because my nose is completely blocked.
And I'm having lots of heavy stuff in the dentist that makes my mouth stay in constant pain.
But hey! Even if my situation is not the best, I'm doing my steps! 10/08/2020 9.799 steps 11/08/2020 14,796 steps5 -

The grandkids wanted McDonald’s and I ended up eating it. That is why I am over calories and my tummy hurts so much. Why do I eat that crap when I know I will feel terrible after? I am off grocery shopping in a few minutes. I am hoping to get a walk in with the girls when the groceries are put away. I have an appointment with my family doctor on Tuesday to get the ball rolling again. My rheumatologist is not in until Monday. I feel better today as I am counting all my blessings instead of focusing on the negative.
Hope your weekend is going well!

I have had a secret mini goal for the past couple of months to weigh less than my husband does. He's never been real big, just has some extra weight. As a side effect of my weight loss efforts though, he's losing weight too lol. He works from home full time now so he eats what I eat. This morning he told me he was 210. I'm slowly catching up haha.1 -

It was grocery shopping day so I was gone all afternoon into the middle of the evening. Did a walking video while my husband went and got thai food for dinner. I got home too late to make anything. I always get garlic chicken and then eat the meat and veggies with a fraction of the sauce in the container and no rice so it's not so bad. I did bad on getting my weights done this week. I'm having a problem with nailing down a time of day I can do it without effecting anyone else in the family. Will have to reevaluate1
