I currently work nights (5pm to 5 am) Friday Saturday and Sunday. So I usually dont wake up till around noon and I usually dont eat till around 3:30 pm on my working days. On my days off my wake up time varies as I have 3 children (10, 6, & 3 months) so my first "meal" time is also varied. I've weighed myself when I first wake up and then again roughly an hour later with no food or drink consumption and there is a 1-2 pound difference at times. I am not sure if anyone else works these kind of schedule also dealing with young kids. I know I need to do better about eating and working out I am trying to get into a routine. Thanks for any advice you can offer.
My point may not be the most help but I would point out that in weight loss the overall trend is the more important and if you can only really get equivalent weigh-ins once each week, that is great. I think the greatest risk to you is if you are stressed by the varying weigh-in scenarios. I know in this group, you are weighing and reporting daily and the variation that shows in the numbers may be awkward, so how about adding a comment for each weigh-in about that weigh-ins factors. What can be nice is that also become an opportunity for you to see and learn about cause and effect and also learn to be able to accept that not every weight is the whole story. I don't know if any of that was a help, but I would foremost worry about how to make those weigh-ins acceptable to you.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 127 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need it! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be still on our fortnight's holiday, but not flown to a hotel cuz of C19, instead we have taken or caravan away so I am in charge of meal prep. Goal is to stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, hubby likes to ply me with blood orange gin & 7UP, which I love, but I'll keep to one per day, keep walking, no binges, keep the 10 days binge free again, it makes such a difference!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 - 73.6 - No I'm okay with that. OH cooked again yesterday (homemade burgers, yum), it's frustrating that he asks "you have around 800 kcals left for the day?" which I did. And then proceeds to not log properly and cook me a ~1200kcal meal. I kind of wish he hadn't asked because then at least I wouldn't have felt so bad that he intentionally just didn't care about the calories. That, and I clawed him back into logging again. After our bad Tuesday I think he was all ready to just give up. But I wanted to log, so I did it loudly making it clear that one bad day wasn't going to turn into a bad week for me. And then he took my point and followed suit, announcing that his meal was only 1000kcals. Now considering that I'd logged a smaller version of the same meal at 1200kcal I had a quick look at his logging. And yeah. Had he done the classic MFP mistakes? Yes. The butter he used for frying? Not logged. Had he used literally the lowest calorie option when selecting the mince? Yes. Did he check the database entry against what was on the packet? No (and it was wrong). Did he just forget ingredients? Yes.
The thing is as well, that personally I would much rather have forgone the two buns (brioche buns too, honestly I prefer normal bread)with everything stacked in a single one. That means I would've had less cheese too. But he made my meal smaller only by making my patties smaller. I don't have an issue with that (and it's nice that he's considering my smaller calorie allowance), but an extra bun is so not worth it and neither is the additional cheese that comes with it (aka 300kcals I could do without). I did suggest that next time I'd rather have my patties on one bun, so hopefully he'll remember that for next time. I do love it when he cooks, but he cooks for his large eyes, and certainly not for my small frame.
Okay rant over.
(This sounds a lot like I'm having a massive go, but I'm ranting here so I don't have a go at him. He's early on in his weight loss journey, and has around 1000kcals more in his budget than me, he's finding it easy right now and hasn't learnt the logging consistency that comes with time and making mistakes. He'll get there, but I think trying to cook for my calorie allowance is something that he'll probably always struggle with.)
09/25 - 73.6
09/26 - 73.0
09/27 - 72.7
09/28 - 73.0 - I often struggle to update here over the weekend. This one seemed worse than normal. Last week was especially tough. On Tuesday it become apparent that our wedding was probably not going to go ahead in the way we wanted it to (It's in April). My way of dealing with this was to not think about it. Keep working, and keep going. Reclusing into my own little world to avoid anything that might make me have to deal with how I'm actually feeling. And then this weekend I think it finally hit me. And we finally, properly, talked about it. And we made a decision. We're still going to get married on the same day. If we have 30 people instead of 100, then it'll have to be 30 people. We know who those people are now, and there was some hard choices to be made. But we finally sat down and talk honestly about what we wanted, what marriage really meant for both of us, and how we want our life to look in 2-3 years time. I can be a bit of an over sharer, I use this thread to sort of reflect on my days and how I'm doing and how it reflects on my weight. But that's hard to do when everything comes back to one thing that I really didn't want to face, didn't want to think about. And that's why I've not posted for 3 days. Because I can't pretend that everyone's fine when it isn't. Sure my weight is going well. But I didn't want to acknowledge how I was feeling, and the way I was feeling was having an impact on my eating. I couldn't post here because it meant I had to face that. And I couldn't. Not then. Better now. Can now. So: Numbers over the last few days have been good considering the poor week I've had. Had a deficit for the week averaging 250kcals per day, so I'm very happy with that. Logging has been a little dodgy as meals have been out of my control, but I've er'd on the side of caution where possible so I'm hoping things have balanced out about right.
09/29 - 72.4 - I mean, sure please continue. I am expecting that to zoom back up a bit tomorrow, but it's looking like my round target might very well be on the cards this time. Eating was fine yesterday. I was still shattered and didn't end up going to Judo yesterday, so I'm definitely going to have to make up for it and go for a run at some point this week, maybe even some body weight exercises at home, idk. Worked from home yesterday, so barely got any steps as I didn't even leave the house. I need to work in the office more often, I find working from home really not helping. I just have a much higher NEAT when I come into the office. Even if it's just the extra 20 or so steps to the toilet or the kitchen each time. It massively adds up. Oh and I get so much more work done. That too.
09/30 - 72.7 - Weighed just after a shower, so my hair was wet, but I'd steamed off in the shower, so I'm guessing my number was a little off in both directions (showering dehydrates you for anyone who doesn't know, I used to have a shower when I needed to make weight when I used to compete properly at Judo), so I'm not going to hold too much to this number, but I'd rather weigh and be aware that it might be off a bit, than not weigh and have no numbers. Anyway, yesterday I was so very hungry. And I felt rather fatigued when I got home after work. Somehow I stuck well with calories, but I didn't have very much expenditure so my deficit was depressingly low (still a deficit though). However, small NSV today, I tried on my Christmas skirt this morning. Last year it fit -just- but was a little too tight. Today it fit perfectly, maybe with a little bit of ease. If things continue as they are, come Christmas, it's probably be a little too big 🤞
10/01 - 72.7 - So I suspect that yesterday's weight was about right then. Yesterday was ... I don't really know. I skipped breakfast as I wasn't hungry, and then ended up having Japanese food from a stall near the office (so very delicious, but oh so many calories). Then made a surprisingly light curry for dinner (although it did turn out less light when I remembered to actually add the chicken breast in). So the day ended up about level with what I was expecting.
10/02 - 72.8 - I. Was. So. Hungry. Yesterday. It took everything I had to not go well over calories. But I didn't. Ended up eating about maintenance which is fine. Maintenance isn't a gain, so I'm taking that as a win. All my deficit was wiped out when I had that chicken bake from greggs, but my god it was worth it. Once I bought it, I logged it, and then I enjoyed it. It was so good. Worth pushing my goal back by a day for? Most certainly yes! I was going to feel guilty about it, but I didn't let myself. Because the calories would still be eaten if I felt guilty, I just wouldn't have enjoyed it, and then, what's the point? I would've just felt sad about myself and I have enough things to feel guilty about already, I don't need another thing to add to that mix.

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 168.2lbs. I'm ok with this, I exercised before weighing and had some water too
09/25 167.8lbs. This is a milestone for me as it means I've gone down into to the next stone. I've gone from 12st 11lb to 11st 13.8lb. I know before I joined again I was into the 13st range, previously unknown territory for me and that gave me the serious jolt I needed.
09/26 167.2lbs As much as I'm loving the numbers, I know I'm not eating all my calories as I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I need to watch this.
09/27 167.0lbs Really happy my fat intake was lower than usual yesterday and my protein was higher than usual. However my carbs were high and I didn't want to increase them much more so my overall intake was lower than I would have liked. I'm pre-diabetic and have high cholesterol. I need to get the right balance.
09/28 166.8lbs. Woke up early having gone to bed early last night. My Garmin showed I had 2 hours sleep! That can't be right as I'd usually get up if I'm awake too long. Maybe my light sleep was really light!
09/29 166.4lbs Didn't have much sleep last night. This is really annoying me, and this time my watch was correct. I didn't get up for any reason but was tossing and turning a lot.
09/30 166.0lbs Slept well, Garmin showed I was awake for a total of two hours, but it also said I was asleep 25 minutes before I went to bed! Perhaps it was wishful thinking!
10/01 165.4lbs I've been suffering with double vision for a while and have finally had a diagnosis and given some tablets to help. Unfortunately after 3 days my eyes are much worse. I've been told that in some cases this can happen at the beginning but it's getting to me. I used to have to wear a patch but had not needed to do this for a few months.. Now I'm having to wear one again to be able to see correctly. Feeling miserable.
10/02 165.4 It took until late evening before I felt better and my eyesight improved. I'm glad to have slept as well as I did and not increased weight. I didn't exceed my calories but my choices were not the best.

UGW 129.0Previous 10 days SW 153.0 EW 149.2 -3.8
Round 117 (my first “round”)
9/24/20 - 149.2 (1424/1430)
9/25/20 - 149.8 (1369/1430)
9/26/20 - 149.0 (1397/1430)
9/27/20 - 149.0 - scale thought about giving me 149.2. Part of me hoped for better as I went to bed hungry, but at the same I did got out to eat with friends for an outdoor-dining lunch yesterday. I ordered the cobb salad and when it came it was clearly not the calories that I had pre-tracked. For I better estimate I did what I have done in the past and broken it up into smaller estimations – slices bacon, ounces of chicken, etc etc. I then adjusted what I ate in the evening accordingly…. Gulp, just noticed my apple watch is not on. Weight probably should have been the 149.2. (1405/1430)
9/28/20 - 148.4 – good day yesterday. No official exercise but was cleaning/closing a seasonal condo (1404/1430)
9/29/20 - 148.6 – tiny tick up, no reason (1571/1430)
9/30/20 - 148.8 – second tick up, but I think I know reason. Yesterday, I ate a homemade vegetable soup at lunch (sodium?) and then stress eating during debate was a second serving along with a couple Duke’s shorties (better than my usual ice cream). Going to change the plan I had for today’s meals and see if a drop tomorrow confirms my thoughts (1403/1430 + 137 exercise)
10/1/20 - 147.8 – Yay, these are times I am grateful for tracking. Yesterday, after dinner I was full enough that I was concerned. I went over my log and checked that I did not miss anything or mis-measure. Nope all good. Got my delayed loss today. (1164/1430 + 326 exercise)
10/2/20 - 147.8 – I was curious what I would see for weight today. Yesterday, I ate solidly under my calories and even more so if I include exercise. Yesterday, I went back to using my 130-140 bpm music mix for my walk. Have not used it in years. Anyhow, it makes a huge different – better speed, better stamina and willingness to continue. And the higher speed also requires better form which I noticed made me engage more muscles and not just use my legs. I also did 2 minutes planking. Neither are “ab” workouts, but I could feel it a little last night. BTW I started the October UAC, the 60 minute plank, and 24 hours of exercise challenges yesterday for the month. Hope I don’t get to confused.

09/26 - 143.5
09/27 - 143.5 - Crazy thing...every time I try to "like" or "hug" another post, MFP times out on me. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.
09/28 - 142.5 - Not a surprise since I was up "releasing water" every single hour last night. I've had UT issues the past 10 days and tested negative for infection twice. Dr. had given me 5 days of antibiotics last week and I'm not sure if that helped a little or not. I've also started drinking Dandelion tea and D Mannose. I had a bladder injury when a disc in my lower back blew 22 years ago and I've dealt with that, but my symptoms now are beyond what I'm used to. I'm planning to see a urologist, but wondered if anyone else has used a supplement successfully to deal with UT issues.
09/29 - 143.5 - I got a few hours of sleep in a row last night, so I feel a little better about that.
09/30 - 143 - I'm feeling better!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 127
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
09/24: 208.2 / Starting this round in one of my prototypical valleys. Maybe I can try to get a little lower. I would love to touch my maintenance range a time or two this round. 😊 Having lunch with a couple friends, outdoors today. Going to be a nice one weather-wise. I will try to choose a salad instead of the awesome burgers they have at this place.
09/25: 209 / Yesterday I chose half sandwich and salad for lunch. It was a fancy BLT. Delicious. For supper DW had planned BLT’s. Yay! No evening snacks.
09/26: 207.8
09/27: 211
09/28: 211 / I was not near a computer over the weekend so I am post three days today. Saturday was a feast at a friend’s house. Fried Fish, baked beans (special kind with smoked sausage and apple pie filling in it) , corn bread and dessert.
Yesterday I went crappie fishing with DW and we fried up our catch for supper! Two nights in a row with fried fish. Gave some to DS’s family and to our neighbor, and, leftovers tonight.
I ate a lot, but it is also VERY salty. Blew up my average for this round. 😊
09/29: 209 / rinsed a little salt from my system and stayed under calories.
09/30: 209.2 / Pretty close to calories, if logged correctly. By the way, this may be one of my issues. Logging correctly. Some things are easy and simple, like a boiled egg. Others, like the delicious soup my DW made last night from scratch? A dash of this, a dollop of that, a bullion cube here and a cup of broth there, and water. And, how much of the meat did I get in my bowl? Did she salt it? How many oyster crackers did I eat?
And DW is not too patient with me when I ask for the details. 😊 I do not blame her.
10/01: 208.2 / Back to my round beginning weight. A huge missing component of my life is exercising these days. Also, daylight. I do not have an official diagnosis of SAD, but I feel it. Happy October everyone! Where does time go?
10/02: 209.2 / Amazingly low considering how “well” I ate yesterday. Glad it’s under 210.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/24 162.2 lbs fasted 18 hours, which I account for much of the loss, also dehydration because I was away from home thus no food and limited water. 10,480 steps Tomorrow could be bad, going shopping and then a wine walk in the evening with friends.
9/25 164.8 lbs fasted 16 hours I expected an increase due the huge decrease the day before and also the wine walk was great fun. I had not been to that town in a long time and they have alot of new great small business and it was fun to shop and see what was out. The snacks were two good.
9/26 165.6 lbs Weighed with wet hair, fasted 16 hours, walked two miles outside, over 15,000 steps. But calories were about 1400 and I am sure some gain is still from the fun the night before.
9/27. 164.2 lbs. quilted so no exercise. Over on calories. I can do better.
9/28 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories. It was raining and icky so continued to work on some quilted hotpads for Christmas gifts not much exercise and my back dislikes all the standing. This round is halfway done, I got to get a move on.
9/29 164.2 lbs Under 1100 calories, fasted 16 hours, over 11,000 steps. I realize I spent most of the day quilting again but really I could of dropped something.
9/30 163.6 lbs Under 1100 calories fasted 16 hours, only about 7000 steps but I got my half sliced jelly roll rug done and some pot holders for Christmas.
10/01 162.0 lbs Under 1100 calories, fasted 13 hours, about 14,000 steps
10/02 162.4 lbs fasted 20 hours, about 11,000 steps. Didn't count calories due to husband and friends taking me out for my birthday which is Saturday.8 -

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday) being having an inner ear issues this week so haven't been able to go running, hoping to get a nice run in today. This round ends the day before my 17th wedding anniversary, so would like to reach my 1st major goal of being in the 160s by then.
09/25 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/26 = 171.0 (no change from yesterday)
09/27 = DNW (slept in too late to weigh)
09/28 = 170.6 (down .4 lbs) I did all my weekend posts on my phone and when I logged in this morning on my laptop could not find any of them, maybe they never posted?? Anyway, I got in my 3 weekly runs on Friday, Saturday, & Sunday - none of them felt "great" but at least I stayed committed to being consistent to my scheduled runs. This week I am going to start to get back into strength training on the days I'm not running. Hopefully it well help make my runs stronger and get this scale moving again in the right direction! Still doing well with IF 16/8 (some days longer) and but need to be better with my AF days, goal is 4 per week but having only been getting 3 AF days the last 2 weeks which I know is affecting the scale.
09/29 = 171.6 (up 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I ate within my calories yesterday but instead of starting my fast at 7 p.m. as I do most nights, I had popcorn watching a show with my husband around 11 p.m. So not surprised to see this bump up on the scale. So today, I will be drinking lots of water and OMAD, fasting until dinner, hoping for close to a 20 hour fast. Will try to get out for a run today but may put it off until tomorrow if I feel too sluggish.
09/30 = 170.6 (down 1.0 lbs from yesterday) I fasted all day yesterday until dinner, but made it an early dinner, so didn't quite make it to 20 but instead 19 hours. Yesterday's run was a little humid but felt good, definitely felt some of my old running strength coming back on the 2nd half of the run. Yay!
10/01 = DNW Busy morning and did not get a chance to weight in, until after my normal time and after having water, so skipped it for today. Ordered take-out last night, so it might be a good thing to miss the scale today as well. Just got in a great mid-day run, nice cooler temps and calories are on track for today. Don't think I will show much of a loss this round but at least my head is in the right place making good choices that will eventually show on the scale.
10/02 = 170.0 (down .6lbs) inching my my closer to being under 170!

Day/Weight/Comment
09/24 199 slight increase but not a worry for me. 13746 steps 1435 calories. Even got in some ab work in the evening.
09/25 198.6 12083 steps 2070 which is high for me. Ate two meals out but was still reasonable. Had half a chicken sandwich substitute the fries with broccoli. Subways for lunch, turkey lots of veggies, with guacamole as my sauce. The vodka and coke was the highest caloric part of my day. Still a loss. I’ll take it.
09/26 199 10119 steps 1473 calories. Did the dinosaur drive, Jurassic Quest with my little ones. The liked it.
09/27 200 I could not get that scale to read 199.9 to save my life. Oh well. My sister bought a car yesterday. Her first vehicle. I get my afternoon walking time back. Yeah. 14068 steps 1603 in calories.
09/28 199.1 Better today my goal was to be to 197 (overweight opposed to obese by end of this round) Here I go.
09/29 199.5 yesterday 1341 calories 14964 steps 15 minute early morning zumba 30 minute lunch walk 20 minute evening walk. Want a repeat for lunch.
09/30 199.5 Yesterday 1376 calories 14501 steps same schedule
10/01 197.9 Whoosh! A little apprehensive because I had a Belgium waffle at Ihop for dinner. My son tried to steal it so less calories. That boy never ceases to amaze me. Needless to say I went over a bit. So I expect a bump today. Did anyone read the article about 2-Week Walking Guide to Tone Your Body. It had an intensity level chart that I found interesting about walking that I found really interesting. Since my claim to fame is mostly walking. 14977 steps and 1980 in calories.
10/02 199.1 At this point I hope to end under (0.2 over) where I started at the beginning of this challenge. It could happen but anything under will be a win.

9/24/20 - 182.6 - ~2100!!! - Just. Too. Much. Food.
My creativity group came over for what may be our last in-person meeting before it’s too cold outside, and we made it a meal — teriyaki chicken, rice, salad, and chocolate chip s’mores cookie cake. Yikes! I didn’t eat big amounts, but lots of calories and the chicken was very salty. But it was lovely to be together, so all good, and I’m back on track today.
9/25/20 - 182.6 - ~2000!!! - don’t ask about snacks 😡
I thought I’d be back on track yesterday, but for whatever messed up reason, I ate everything in sight all evening. I think I need to turn off the news! Anyway, I had turkey sausages for breakfast, and we’re getting smoked chicken for dinner to support a fundraiser for a cause we support — going for protein and fat to counter all the carbs I’ve been snarfing the past two days. I do feel puffy, so I know some of this is water, but not all. I’m hoping all the p & f will make be feel more satisfied. Happy Friday, all! Enjoy this final weekend of Sept. 🍁🌻🐝🧶
9/26/20 - 182.8 - 1645 - 4 triscuits
Calories a bit high yesterday, but better, and healthy, even with my little Triscuit snack. Macros about where I want them. Day by day. I did spend an hour cleaning up my side of the garage, organizing my shelves full of garden tools, pots, references, paint and painting tools, and other miscellaneous garage things and tossing stuff I don’t need anymore. Made me feel more in control! I’m sort of working my way through the house — my closet is partly done. It’s supposed to be nice and warm today and tomorrow, so I plan so be outdoors as much as possible, and have friends coming to hang out in the garden both days, before we can’t get together. I have a writing deadline crashing down on me, so that’s first indoors, so I’ll finish closets next week. When I get every little thing organized and decluttered, I know I’ll feel better! Funny how having our surroundings in order can affect our eating, attitude, work, even play. I’m also seriously thing of taking 6 weeks away from social media for sanity and to see how much more I get done without it. I’ll stay here, though. 🙂 Way tmi, right? Have a great weekend, all!
9/27/20 - 181.8 - 1285
This is a nice surprise. We had a pretty caloric dinner last night—baked chicken with broccoli, green pea fusili, and Alfredo sauce. But it was so satisfying, I didn’t snack in the evening — yay! Leftovers tonight, so I’m planning a light lunch. It’s gorgeous out, so I’m off for a walk. Supposed to cool down and rain tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday!
9/28/20 - 182 - 2045 😳 - 🍨
Ok, it’s Monday, a new week, a new start. Still fighting the snack monster.
9/29/20 - 181.6 - 1545 - 🍌
Better. It rained all day yesterday, but I did get a short walk in the evening. Today is chilly but bright, so I’m off for a walk along the river and then to buy soil for my new raised beds to get them ready for spring. I may even plant some bulbs in them this fall. 🌹🌷🌹🌷 Planning a nice salad for lunch and dunno for dinner. 🤓
9/30/20 - 183 😡 - 2196 😡 - 🍕🍿🧀
Too much salt, too much food. DH wanted pizza yesterday, so I had that for lunch, calories high but within bounds, no dinner. But then, I confess, I went on a comfort binge last night. All salty carby, no sweets, so there’s that. Should have turned the TV off instead. Well, some of this is temporary, so although I’m not pleased, I’m also not too upset. Going for a walk, then hauling dirt to my new beds and finishing (I hope) reorganizing closets. The fun never stops!
10/1/20 - 181.4 🙂 - 1801 - 🍨
I knew a lot of that was salt! I ate well yesterday, but did have a small bowl of ice cream last night. With walking, my calories were still below maintenance, so that’s a plus. I’m trying to get more protein and healthy fat at breakfast, which helps a lot with hunger later in the day. Chilly here, so I’m bundling up to go for a nice walk. Have a great day, all!
10/2/20 - 182 - 1608 - 🍌
Bouncy bouncy. I’m trying to find some nice bookcases, preferably with no assembly required! I hate going store to store, but that’s what I’m about to do. The fun never stops! I’m getting kind of desperate — I have books all over the floor of my office. ☹️ I hope you have funner things to do today! Happy Friday!

I didn't eat enough yesterday, which probably has a bit to do with the drop in weight. I expect it to be higher tomorrow.
25/9 125.6kg
I'm surprised that I didn't see a bump here. But I won't complain. Still learning about ways to make takeaway food low carb, which is really hard when they bulk up meals with chips and bread. But tonight was a tasty win with a grilled chicken quarter and salad.
26/9 125.4kg
No kids tonight, so having an early bedtime. Hopefully I can catch up on some well needed sleep.
27/9 125.3kg <-- goals!
After 43 days, I am down 5kg (11lb). I didn't get a huge drop at the beginning, so I know I am working hard for each drop. I'm starting to notice my clothes being a bit looser, but no one else has yet. That's ok.
28/9 125.3kg
I was loving hitting this goal so much, I decided to stay there 🤣. Vegetarian dinner which was delicious, but extremely low in calories and protein. I'll need to work on other non-meat, low carb protein sources.
29/9 125.1kg
Spent today writing an assignment, so not much walking today. I went a bit over with carbs at dinner, but was ok for a daily total.
30/9 124.7kg
Not sure where this has come from, but I'm not complaining. Lots of walking today, so my tendonitis is playing up.
1/10 124.8kg
Getting overwhelmed with life, so sticking to things which are easier. Tracking and walking.
