I was peeved with my swim yesterday. I was so out of breath when I hit 30 laps I decided to rest for 30 seconds or so. I paused my Fitbit and forgot to restart it. I caught it when I checked my lap time. So my swim time is off. My Fitbit missed 8 laps and I had a great lap time yesterday. 🤦♀️ I won’t be pausing it today.
I am swimming laps today but no workout. I have to walk to massage which has me a little freaked out. We are having thunderstorms on and off. I don’t mind the walking in the rain but not when we are having thunderstorms.
Have a terrific Tuesday!

This week will have some challenges to my weight loss but I am trying to convince myself to look at them as "areas of opportunities" instead...prove to myself that I can be consistent with my plan and goals in "real world settings". 2 dinners out this week (one at a Cookout, one in a restaurant) + taking long weekend for a little getaway (eating out all meals). I know that there will be choices I can make that are the right choices, just have to make them! Definitely, will be ending my AF streak, but plan to keep it at no more than 2 drinks per occasion and then right back to being AF (current plan is only drinking alcohol on social or special occasions).

Looks like your hitting your markers and making great progress. Good luck on those making those choices soon!
Thanks, @Poobah1972 !!2 -
Daily Check-In For Monday 8/9
Calories: Within Allotted Range (Restaurant dinner, made the right choices, stayed on plan)
Water: 90+ oz.
IF 16/8: Yes, 18 hours fasting
AF: No, 1 glass of wine, For the month 8/9 days AF
Exercise: 2 Mile Walk
Went on a walk on my lunch hour yesterday and then planned to do some arm weights but time got away from me, will have to do those today after my run. In other news, I'm an everyday weigher and the scale has been stuck on the exact same number since Friday, but it finally moved today and I am back in the 170's!!! Never thought I would be so happy to see 170 something on the scale! Still a long way to go, but this was a mental thing for me, I NEEDED to be out of the 180s.

You know that weight gain is a badge of honor... Hard work does that. You'll woosh down the road. Great work.4 -

Sounds like it’s definitely from the weights and exercises. That is so cool doing a headstand. Are you working toward a certain time for holding the handstand?2 -
Turned out to be a busy couple of days. Sunday morning I took my son to the store to pick out a gift for his friend. Then back home for coffee, then off to the consignment sale for half price day. Found more school clothes for my son. Had just enough time to scarf down lunch and then head to the birthday party. It was for a 6 year old and was at a trampoline place, my son had a blast. Yesterday I was planning on watching my nieces like normal but my brother's place of work flooded so he couldn't go in. He came over and spent the day with us instead. They didn't head home until almost 10pm. So, I got nothing done lol. Today has been mostly about putting my house back together.

Awesome loss!1 -
WHoooo HOoooo Wednesday! 😋
Okay truth be told, I could go back to sleep right now. But I still need to work for a paycheck unfortunately.... 😆
I pretty much posted my food log last night, logged off and didn't even say good night. (sorry guys). We watched an episode of Ted Lasso (Great show by the way), and I was in bed by 8am. 81 sleep score, even though i did wake up at 4am, and decided to stay up.
I pulled a Willie Nelson, and decided to get on the road again! 😁 Seeing as I had more time, I figured why not see what's out there beyond the small little community in which I've been doing laps. 😎
I was pretty sure the route I would take, but I really didn't know how long it would be or how long it would take me. Turns out it was 2 miles almost on the dot. I didn't slog, I just kept up a steady pace, and while it took a while for my heart rate to get up, I eventually hit enough hills that eventually I got my sweat on. Now that I know the route and time, I can add to it if need be and time allowing. 👍😃
Almost forgot, didn't use the knee wraps and knees were fine. Might be a little stiff later. But I think they will be fine. 😀🤠
Mission accomplished!!!
Tonight, is Chest/Triceps/ and a little shoulder.... I've decided to spare everyone the blow by blow... I'll just gloss over things of interest and continue post up the Heart Rate burn... 😛🙃
Have a fantastic day my friends. 🤗🤗🤗🤓👍

I had a great swim yesterday. I really feel it in my shoulders today. I walked to massage and got drenched but at least there was no thunderstorms. Even though it was a great massage it was a high pain day for me. Darn back! I woke up with a headache this morning but I won’t let this stop me. I have clothes in the wash and I am going to vacuum in a few minutes. Today I get to swim laps and do my water workout. It’s funny, swimming maybe great exercise but it relaxes me at the same time. My next investment is going to be headphones I can wear in the water while doing my laps. I want to get something decent.
Happy Hump Day!
