Week 2, Sat, Apr 10
PW =177.0
CW=172.8 much better!
I have been pushing myself all week for a lower number, it was better than I thought. However I do realize it is not totally real, most likely a lot of water loss... but I will take it!
As they say in bowling, a sloppy, ugly strike, is still a strike!
Great job!!! 🙌1 -

Daily Post (Sat, 4/16)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes - under
Exercise: Yes - 60 min walk, 9639 steps
Goals/Day/Comments: I took a nice walk in the morning, up a small hill (overpass), and to the store, picked up a bunch of veggies & fruits
. I over bought, the bags were super heavy to carry back, however on the plus side it was a nice workout for my arms too!
Daily Post (Sun, 4/17) Easter !
Track: Yes (a lot of guestimates)
Calories: No - should have skipped the cake and butter on my roll
Exercise: Yes - 55 min walk, 10,056 steps (had to do some house stepping to get to 10k)
Goals/Day/Comments: It was a beautiful day spent with family and extended family. 1st holiday in a long time that I didn't cook or host, very easy day for me. We just brought a bottle of wine and meringues to share, and an orchid for the hostess.
Now I have some making up to do this week, took a peek a the scale and it moved up some after the weekend.
It was worth it though.

That’s shorthand for Mini-Ultimate-Accountability-Challenge. Those are the days I stuck to plan; you know… tracked, stayed under calories and exercised for 20 minutes. I have 20 more pounds to lose and it seems to be taking for-ev-er to get there!! But I keep trying…2 -

Yes, it’s ok don’t worry! You did miss week 2 but go ahead and weigh in on Friday and we’ll put that in for your week 3 results. 😊2 -

I have these type of “Easter”-like functions once or twice a month lately and it IS so difficult to get back into the swing of things! But I think the point is that we are human and we have the ability to learn how to tweak our behaviors so that we keep learning better and quicker ways to bounce back! Tracking is the best way to stay present when we have plans that take us out of our routine like that!
You did so great!!

What I’ve been tracking:Net Calories: 1490Easter Sunday plans derailed me a little bit ..but I’ve been working at it! I am always so thankful that my daughter and husband have a sweet tooth for candies I don’t really care for, like skittles and fruity sour combos. My sweet tooth only goes as far as certain chocolates or anything birthday-cake-flavored(but not birthday cake itself🙃) Leave me alone with anything like that and I’d be telling a whole other story! I did manage to get some water volley ball in, but since I’m really struggling to lose my last 20lbs, I’ve decided I need to up my game a bit. So from now on I’m only accounting for “intentional” exercises. Hope everyone had a nice Easter!

Goals/Day/Comments: I'm wanting to get fit enough to do some backpacking. So I need to start doing some hikes while carrying some extra weight. I've read that
So today, on my walk, I wore a 16 lb. weighted vest. I need to start getting used to the extra load of a backpack. This 16 lb. vest is about what a light day hike pack might weigh and about half what a lightweight multiday pack could weigh.
I've read that you should try to limit your pack weight to 20% of your body weight, and ideally no more than 10% for just day hikes. For me at ~220, that means about 22 lbs. (10%) to 44 lbs. (20%).

When’s the last time you assessed your calorie in/out compared to your current MFP Caloric Goal??
- We should do this every month as our weight fluctuates
- We are eating way more on certain days so you should plan for this by lowering your daily goals the rest of the week
- It would help to keep up with a Daily Average so you can see how each day affects the next!
I found this Calorie Calculator:
https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html
Give it a try and include your calculation in one of your posts this week!!3 -

Calculator Assignment:
For my daily caloric goal:https://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.htmlGive it a try and include your calculation in one of your posts this week!!
1900/per Day and 13300/per Week
I used the activity rate of somewhere in between “3-5” & “5-7” days. Even though my job would make me a “sedentary person” I try to be active every day of the week. I definitely want to lose more than 1lb a week but I know now that on a “bad food” week I still want to lose 1lb, so I will try to stay under this limit during these more difficult weeks (I’m already in the thick of another “bad food” week because my husband turned 50 yesterday and we’re going to my favorite Mexican restaurant on Saturday to celebrate.
According to my new threshold of 13300 a week I have
5191 calories left
to get me through the rest of the week(Thur-Sat)
And I am POSITIVE I will throw caution to the wind and just EAT and EAT and EAT on Saturday.
End verdict: Need to kick it WAY UP a notch in cardio this week! Starting now (starting Treadmill)
**Side Note: I think I need someone to physically come over and remove the Confetti Cupcake Poptarts out of my hands at around 11oclock-ish at night!!**2 - Tracked / Under / Exercise?
