8/7
Tracked Yes
Under Calorie Yes
Water 80oz
Steps 11487 + 2hours leisurely swimming @Megan_smartiepants1970
Exercise 5mile loop at lake
Got up in the morning and met dad at the lake for a 5 mile walk. We had a very deep and therapeutic talk about insecurities. The walk was good for the body and mind. After that we relaxed for a bit and then headed to our friends' house for swimming. After a couple hours the kids got tired so we headed home. My husband made yellow curry for dinner that turned out fabulous and I made a fresh loaf of bread and tried a new recipe for low calorie chocolate chip cookies. After the busy day, I was pretty tired and crawled into bed early haha.

This week has been a rollercoaster for my weight. I did a midweek check-in, and it was up to 167. Fortunately it’s gone back down, but I am still frustrated that my weight is back in the 160s at all.
I’m trying to keep my eyes on the NSVs -
- Overall my weight is still down from my original start weight.
- I have been doing well with my steps.
- My work pants that I haven’t worn in over a year still fit!
- I’ve met step goals daily this week.

Steps for 8/7

Hey Guys... I'm sorry. I'm really terrible for finding time to get here on weekends. Were always go go go, from the moment we get up. Lots of stuff going on today... Including 1 hour Jaunt on the Elliptical on our Fast day. 🤓
Granted I took it easier then I normally do, and intended at first to elliptical for the duration of an entire movie.. But after an hour and a pretty crappy movie. I called it quits. lol
So after the Elliptical, it was visiting an Aunt and Uncle I haven't seen post Covid... Had to empty my car of stuff from another Aunt/Uncle that I loaded up in Ottawa. Anyway, a great visit, and they were pretty impressed with Lynn and I (how can they not? 🤓😃)
And since our return home, I've got what appears to be the best Keto Hamburger Buns to date in the oven... They are full size or better (so exciting)... And another Keto Loaf of Bread is on its final rise before cooking. Just gota have it, no two ways about it. 🍞🍴=😃😋
As for Tomorrow's weigh in.... Things are not looking promising for either Lynn and I... Not sure what is up but my ring is actually tight on my finger (And months ago it was threatening to fall off). And the scale is confirming that for both of us. But who know's maybe a I'll lose 10 pounds over night? (Could happen right). 🤞
What's left... Just gotta pull that loaf once it's cooked, but before then a Hair dresser will be giving my head a shave. (not like bald.. huh-huh). Hey every little extra bit of weight will help tomorrow morning. Perhaps I should spray my body with Naire while were at it yah? 😳😅
Um no... Don't do that. lol
Here's the Buns before cooking... These things are amazing and only about 2.5 carbs each and 142 Calories.
Peace Guys... I'll try do better on catching up with everyone, But that likely won't happen till tomorrow.

Good evening everyone. We all survived another weekend. Bring on monday. We have this.
Check in for 8/8:
Steps - 5332 plus 20 minutes bike. 5.5 miles moderate effort.
Calories - 1705. Had a small cake slice and pineapple for dessert.
Exercise - gym - 9 machines and 20 minutes bike. Interval training lvl 9. Last 5 minutes at 80 rpm. Mini golf - 45 minutes. Could only last 28 holes due to back. Had 3 aces.
Quick question...the cake container from store says 910 calories but MFP says 670. I had 1/3 slice. Which would you all use?
Mini golf was rough. Up and down stairs, hot, crowded. Wife stepped on my ball and took a header. Scratches but ok, she says. She always says that even when bleeding. Infuriating. When I tried to help her up she didn't even help so I hurt my back.4 -

I would go with what the container says ... MFP is not always accurate since it is from other members2 -
Good morning, the start of a new week and I feel great hope you all have a great day. My goal for today is to keep within my calories and keep walking.2

Hi all, here for Monday check in.
Wow, 78 posts to catch up on in the thread when logging in and I try to read the thread daily. I love how active the team is.
I think it's time to acknowledge for myself, that some habits have crept in and I haven't been doing the best I could be with my food choices for multiple reasons lately. I'm still logging what I'm eating, there's been a fair few instances where I don't know the exact calories.
And I'll be honest, I thought about taking a break from weighing in within the past week, but instead recognised that it is important that I still keep the structure of checking in each week as I didn't come this far to only come this far. Reading all your posts continues to inspire me, no matter what.
I'm about to eat some overnight oats with chia seeds, choc oat milk and strawberries that I put together last night. Oatly chocolate oat milk tastes good, just like regular chocolate milk. Not too bad either, 92.5 cal for 150ml which is a decent amount for overnight oats.
I'm determined to get back on track and prove to myself again that I can lose consistently whilst not feeling deprived etc.
Have a great week everyone!6 -

Good morning team! 1 week back on my journey. I’m so happy to get back into my workout routine and to start taking some accountability for my eating habits. It’s not yet perfect but I’m making small improvements every day.
Today was a home gym day. My workout buddy had to travel for her dads funeral so I won’t workout with her until maybe Wednesday. Until then it’s home workouts for me.
Wishing you all a great start to the week.
💪🏻♥️👍🏻

Monday Funday!
Or maybe not? If you know my fiancé Lynn, reach out and give her a little loving today. The scale was indeed quite mean to her this morning, and she worked harder than ever last week to add salt to the wounds. Sure, it was probably the fact that she did work harder that caused extra water gain, and or muscle development, but it still tugs on the heart strings. You had an incredible week, and the payoff is just around the corner. The scale isn't the end all be all and we both pretty aware of that. I love you babe! 🤗😘
Me on the other hand, managed to right the ship somehow... I must admit I cheated a wee bit. With the 1000 Cal fasted Cardio yesterday. 1 Ton of water drank, and a few Ibuprofen for no other reason yesterday afternoon other than to drop water weight 😬. I woke up with my bladder about to explode at 11:58am and it didn't help that it was raining outside. Then it was ready to explode again at 4:30am when my alarm went off. 😁👍 Then I followed that up with a fairly hard cardio session (Still fasted, now at the 35ish hour mark).
Oh, and breakfast was extra tasty this morning with some well worth waiting for extra yummy fresh toast! lol
New weight this morning 381.3 (I guess this scale can measure in increments of .1 ?) For a total weight loss of 2.5 (which you all know cause the scale beats me to this post. lol)
Great burn this morning and cool down... 77 zone minutes for my 30 minutes on the Elliptical opposed to 100 zone minutes for a full 60 minutes on the elliptical yesterday. Harder is better than longer in my opinion. (Although longer and hard would be agreeable yes? haha me bad🤦♂️)
Anywhoo... Thank for the support everyone. I got a much love my heart for you boys and girls! 😄🤗😘😎🙏💖😃

Thought I would share one of the meals I prepped for hubs. These are pork loin roasts. This one is with organic coconut aminos + whatever spices I had handy. I have made this before, but it is never exactly the same, lol.
I'm on the first leg of my flight that left at after midnight. I was so busy packing, etc., that I forgot my healthy snacks...!! I was able to snag some Lesser Evil popcorn. It was the healthiest thing on the snack tray, lol. I'm going to snag a salad or something during my layover. As of now, I'm drinking water😊!
