    Yesterday was a fail. We had a distanced picnic and set up some frisbee golf at our home for hubby's bro and wife (who are very Covid conscious). Anyway, he brought a lot of food, Arby's, pizza, TacoBell...so needless to say that calories and carbs weren't even close to good. I did a fair bit of moving around with the frisbee golf and then I had some moving of boxes of things and furniture from Dad's he wants me to look at and donate or keep. Still...not a good day challenge-wise so moving on.

    this week was solid, 5 poverty days, 2 maintenance days, almost all the workouts except some cardio/glutes after lucifers waterfall hit and I just had zero energy...been getting in walking or steps depending on the weather outdoors, and getting some gardening done...all in all I could use more weeks like this...

    After a tiring weekend, I didn’t do bad for the day on goals. I didn’t get to exercise so my cals were over a smidge but other macros were good. Not a ton of NEAt but I tried to move while on a phone call for 10 hours. Here’s to a more planned, restful week. Hit the scales tomorrow too since I forgot this morning.

    Yesterday was a bit carby but I hit my other goals. Today goals were on point 👍🏻. Better NEAT day yesterday versus today. Had my second shot late yesterday and while I didn’t think I was experiencing any side effects I was a bit tired today which could be my lack of sleep recently. Regardless, I got my exercise in, had a smart dinner and made a keto chocolate chip cheesecake bar dessert. Figured that may help the sugar cravings I’m having without begetting more carbs. The scale was not kind today but I’m sure I’ll get it back on track. It may take a few months to hit goal but I’m gonna keep trying!

    Slouching on the workout goal since last post. Did spin class and bowling Sunday, 4 mile walk with a friend Monday and that's it. Fell behind at work so will be catching up the rest of this week. Must do some strength after work and hit the gym tomorrow for elliptical to get back on track

    Food has been ok but I can always do better.

    Goals 👍🏻

    Good day all in all even if I did have to babysit adults at work. Geez, some days...

    I was feeling snacky during the day so my macros were a little out of line but not terrible. Other goals were good for the day.

    I find I’m fluctuating the same 4 pounds up and down this month so I guess that is maintaining?? If the weather clears up a bit I’ll be getting back outside to walk more.

    This week sort of got away from me. Carbs and cals both on point, exercise could have been better. I’m a bit lost with my Garmin out for repair. At least the scale is moving down, albeit v e r y s l o w l y.

    Goals weren’t great for the weekend as I was all over the board with eating. Definitely an area of focus this week leading into another working weekend where I know I struggle when I’m tired. Move goals and NEAT was also down. I took Sunday off from everything and vegged. Back at it today so no worries. At least I’m keeping the teeth and gums nice and healthy for that goal. The warmer weather this week will help on the NEAT front. The month is almost over!
