Check in for Monday
✅Steps 7,164
✅Sleep
✅Walk
✅physio 2/2
I didn’t get to walk to Tim Hortons yesterday as they came to fix my air conditioner shortly before I was leaving. With the walk to physio I was able to hit my step goal and then some. No walking for tea today as I have to walk in the opposite direction to go to the supermarket. I am going to do a loop through the little park on my way.
I am a bit frustrated with the scale. It went up again this morning. My calories have been on point except for Saturday when I was over a little bit. My calorie average is below my goal of 1450 which should give me a pound a week loss. It feels like I am retaining some water. My sodium has been higher than I like so I adjusted my recipe for supper today so it has less sodium. I am also going to increase my water. Oh well! That darn scale. We will see what it shows tomorrow.
Have a terrific Tuesday!6 -

My daughter has classes today at 9am so we are about to go on our walk I had so much energy yesterday it felt great ... no headache and no naps ...it is amazing what happens when you don't eat convenient food and a bunch of crap Steps yesterday was 14,230
I love that motivation to get up early to go for your walk. That’s so fabulous that the headaches and tiredness went away once you went back to your Keto and routine. Absolutely amazing high steps!

Hello all,
I am Angie from California. I am excited for a new month and a fresh start. My weight in May went the wrong direction😉? Feel free to add me as a friend. I have opened my diary to add in a little accountability. Though I am not the best at logging when I am off-track😕. That's another thing to work on.
Goals for June:
Log it all-the good, the bad, and if it happens-the really ugly too!
'Run the Streak'-run at least one mile a day between Memorial Day and Fourth of July-so far so good.
15,000 steps per day
Meditate daily
No hooch (one beer leads to just one more, then just one more one more, then nachos, chicken wings, onion rings and pizza and all the other high calorie tasty things)6 -

Four ✅s👏👏👏 Well done! Look at all of those steps 🙌🙌 Watch out for the gaggle of geese while going for your walk through the park. Oh I know that the scale can be frustrating. Look at how much better you’re doing- using just your daily goals. You’re walking more. You’re sleeping! You’re getting in more purposeful movement. The sodium is a huge sabotage ingredient. The scale likes to keep us on our toes. Your better health is more than the weekly loss. Continually focusing on the longterm goals will show you the results. You’re doing amazing Linda 🤗0 -

Terrific steps AND boxing! 👏👏👏👏
Great job staying accountable, perfection not needed- this is life, even Mary Poppins was PRACTICALLY perfect in every way. 🤗1 -

I love your goals! You know I used to feel the same way about logging my poor choices. I was actually embarrassed about putting them in the MFP food diary. Listening to helpful podcasts (like We Only Look Thin) and seeing others diaries, actually helped me realize that this is life and it’s not only going to be apple slices and hard boiled eggs. My new way of thinking: Enjoy the treat. Try not to overindulge. Start again.
Very impressive- running!!!
That’s a terrific high step goal- quite envious 🤩
Great goal of meditation- I should start that up again, I gave up after two weeks.
No hooch 🤣 love that you call it hooch!
You got this. We are here for you👏👏👏

Yesterday I had my first acupuncture appointment and they told me that maybe we manage to improve my metabolism. At least move it to a slow path but something more than stopped.
I'm hoping.that this will be the way. I don't know anymore what else to try.2 -
Check in for monday, 5/31. I know it's late. I went to bed early.
Steps - 3792. Rested after the walk and gym. Waited to see if daughter wanted to hit it again. She didn't.
Calories - 1792, I think. I ate to many pistachios and I had to guesstimate how many. I planned on zero cal lemonade with dinner but forgot until I had drank a cup of milk. No dessert even though I made a delicious cherry crisp.
Exercise - nope.
Huge congrats to everyone for helping the team take the week and the month. So many names sprinkled around the lists.3 -
Question for IF’ers. What is the minimum amount of time that you fast? I am thinking of starting with 12 hours and move it up from there. My biggest hurdle is the need for coffee with real half and half in the morning.2

⚠️Caution This Post is One Long Rant⚠️
⛔️Please feel free to skip over this post. It’s actually really therapeutic putting my feelings out here and there’s no need for you to read anything so negative ⛔️
My husband decided that he’s not interested in losing weight, even though he’s on medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, taking injections for his diabetes. When I started my path, I didn’t push him to join me. I hoped that he would just fall into it. I know he has to want to do it for himself.
He still wants to go out for pub style meals at least twice a week, plus burgers and pizza. I don’t want that for me or our kids. I’ve comprised, two unhealthy meals a week- I still am not happy that the kids are eating out snd eating unhealthy so much.
He knows I restrict what I eat. I try to get in purposeful movement (bike and/or walk daily).
We are with my in-laws this week and as I’m typing this they just brought in Buffalo wings, onion rings, potato skins for lunch. I know I’ll stick to eating what I have planned, but my kids are now going to eat poorly again.
The reason for the rant is that he went to the grocery store to pick up a few things and came back with two boxes of what used to be my favorite store brand donut, because they were buy one get one free. Now the old me, would have been so happy. The new me, feels like he’s trying to sabotage me.
I plan out my treats, this week it’s mostly light beer (I know- I complaining about donuts when I’m drinking beer). It’s hard enough staying away from all the treats and now he brought more.
Ok rant over. Thank you for being here. 🤗10
