@lindamtuck2018 Yes I was worn out, but in a good way. And happy Swimming! I should get back to that myself.
I will have to be intentional about my steps today, because I have afternoon work to do and a zoom gathering. And then out with friends for a trivia night. Light on calories for the day time!, saving some for tacos and a margarita!
Enjoy your tacos and margaritas!2 -

✅ Steps
✅ Closed rings
I swam laps and then did a pool cardio/leg workout. Yesterday wasn’t as quiet as I planned as I had to go pick up gifts I had ordered. I think I am finally finished. I will start wrapping today. I am heading to the pool shortly.
Happy Monday!

Have a good Christmas week...
I am toning everything down this year except intentional time with family...it has been a year of blessings and pains... so...the focus on Jesus and family is enough. Now, I would buy gifts, but my kids keep saying they don't want anything...haha.3 -
Sorry, correction

Checking in!
Steps 12/19 1000
12/20 7753
I am in the crochet zone! I was worried I wouldn’t get my steps in though, so I made a goal to have half done before lunch. Breaking it up was a good strategy I need to get back to a little more water this way.
Ready to stay strong on Tuesday!

Daily check-in
Calories 862
Steps 7205
I double checked my Calories because they seemed too low but they're correct and I didn't feel hungry after dinner so didn't want to push myself to eat more. I'm managing salad 2-3 times a week which is a big change for me.
I took a progress pic last sat and thought I could see some progress.
But then someone posted a pic of me from archery a couple of weeks ago and I hate it. Made me feel so fat again.
I hate pics of me at the best of times. I wonder if I'll ever get to the stage where I can look at a picture of myself without cringing.6 -

@Pippin20206 I think you're beautiful and you look amazing! You will get to where you want to be!!4 -
@Pippin20206 I see a difference in those pics. I hope you get to the point where you don't hate the you in your pics. I still have that problem after losing 320 lbs, but it is better than it was. At least I am getting my pic taken now. You are doing an amazing job on your trek.2

@Pippin20206
You are doing amazing. There is a difference. Just since you started with us you have lost almost 14 pounds. I am sure you feel the difference.3 -

Sorry for the big gain team. Haven’t been at this weight for a while. At least back into the habits that helped me. Hadn’t realized how much of a difference 8 pounds makes for me now. When I first started MFP, a 30 lb loss translated into losing 1 pants size. Now, the 8 lbs gain is equal to a pants size.
Has anyone seen ads for body transformation contests? I have seen 2 in the last 3 hours. The timelines were 90 days for the transformation. Got me thinking, if we are consistent 80% of 30 days that would be 24 days. In 90 days, you would be consistent for 72 days. If we can do better that is great. If less than 80%, just work on increasing the days each month. Choose something that you would like to be consistent with and note the days that you are consistent. Decide on your reward for achieving 72 days, 63 days, 54 days of consistency in 90 days. Reward yourself and let us know what you rewarded yourself with. If you would be comfortable, you can post what you are working on.
Lets keep on encouraging and inspiring each other through the new year!4
