Didn't go over my calories once. Swam laps 5 days and played baseball Sunday. Rested Monday. Gonna go for a walk and a swim before I leave on vacation. My goal was 50 pounds by my vacation and I beat it by 4 pounds.

Steps: 16,331
exercise: laps, arms, legs and water exercises
log food: yes
Did this already and forgot to hit post reply. Had a great workout yesterday. Blasted YMCA and did all the moves. Hope no one was looking at the security cameras at the pool but it was fun. No strength exercises today just laps and cardio exercises. Better get over to the pool and we are going to have thunderstorms and I don’t want to be walking back in them.5 -

Awesome! You are definitely knocking me down a spot on the step challenge. Either that or I have to work harder. 😂

1. Tell us a little about yourself? I live with my husband and 10 year old daughter. I work full time. I enjoy knitting and crocheting though I don't find a lot of time to do them.
2. Why are you on this journey? What pushed you to start? January 2021 I went to the Dr and my Blood pressure was 180/110. It is in control with meds, but my body adapts, and next time it does this I will need to be on 2 meds. Really do not want this to happen.
3. What are your triggers and how can you avoid them? Everything seems to be a trigger, sweets, carbs of any sorts, boredom.
4. Do you have a favourite diet you go by? ie keto, low carb - Low carb is good, but I'm trying to keep to CICO
5. What is your favourite way to workout? Dancing
6. What are some of your goals this month? Stay consistent Year? Have lost enough weight to be noticeable, I want to just be overweight not obese
7. What do you expect to gain from the team? Community Do you have any suggestions? No
@Megan_smartiepants1970 - I will pledge 10,000 steps a day.3 -

So happy you have joined our wonderful team ..... I will add you to our step challenge 2 -
Good evening everyone. I hope you all are having a good week.
Calories - 2760 or so. Crap shoot for lunch. I can't imagine I ate 1000 calories like the restaurant said. Doesn't matter though. I didn't overeat.
@MadDuck62 glad to have another san diegan in the group. If you need anything let me know.1 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970
6/1: 7845 steps (36 heart points) - goal is 7500 steps and 30 heart points.
I increased my afternoon walk to just over 30 minutes today (usually closer to 20 minutes), so that felt good. I'd really like to do an even longer walk, but gotta take the victories as they come.
My eating was within guidance. Hope to do the same tomorrow. Good luck to all!4 -
Hi Downsizers! I'm so sorry that I haven't been posting frequently - my mother is in the hospital with pneumonia in both lungs - so I've been with her around the clock. My weigh-in yesterday:
PW: 138.7

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Please excuse me from the step challenge for now.
I will stop by when I can.
Thanks for understanding,

@laura9400
Welcome to the team!
@rwood566
It blows my mind when I see the calorie count on a restaurant menu. I never thought some of the foods are that high. Also, they can be sneaky. At some the calorie count doesn’t include the side.
@nite_0wl
Great stepping!
@MadDuck62
What are heart points? Great job meeting your goal and increasing your walk time.

Steps: 12,408
exercise: laps and water aerobics, did extra stretching after workout
log food: yes
Woke up at 6 to one of my stupid headaches. Covid the gift that keeps on giving even over a year later. Going to the pool no matter what but hoping it eases off so I have a better workout. I think I will do arms today. I love using the water weights and do enjoy working out arms more than legs. When I lifted regular weights I was the same. How about you?3 -
