* Thoughts: I got the worst sleep Thursday night. It had a big affect on my mood. I was not a pleasant person. So, I decided to take advantage of the one day of sunny weather, laced up my shoes and took a nice long walk by the river. It really helped A LOT.

Friday, the 10th
Logged: Up until a point.
Under: Nope, not at all.
Water: 10 cups, I think.
Exercise: Yes, I went for a 33 minute walk in the snow!!
Steps: 9,777
I went to the grocery store hungry. Yes, I did know better, but I was out "my foods"! Naturally, I bought some things I shouldn't have, and then I ate them, of course! I was out of calories by 4 pm! My husband went curling, so I was home alone. Not starving by any means, but I got into the chips I bought for him, and then it became a free-for-all. Had it not been the case, I would have walked around my house to get to 10K steps, but I had already blown the day. Up a pound on the scales. Today is a new day.

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 155.2 pounds (had gained 0.9 pounds)
CW (Current Weight): 155.8 pounds (gained 0.6 pounds)
Third week in a row that I've had a gain.
Trying not to get discouraged and throw in the towel but I will admit I am teetering.
Gained a total of 2.6 pounds in the course of the last 3 weeks.
I know some of the gain is my own fault from overeating, eating when I'm not hungry, eating junkfood, eating processed food, not cooking from scratch, and not demonstrating self-control.
I know part of the gain is out of my control due to health problems, not feeling well, not being able to exercise as much, and not getting enough sleep despite attempting to.
Still down 14.3 pounds from my highest weight in 2016 but seems piddly when at the beginning of the pandemic, April 15, 2020, I was down 37.8 pounds!
At least I have still lost 6 out of 10 weeks since joining this challenge but not happy about gaining 4 times in 10 weeks so really need to work harder to turn things around and get my head back in the game before I totally derail and give up.
Still need to lose 25.8 pounds to get to my goal weight. Ugh!4 -

What is one thing you can control next week. Maybe log food everyday or set a goal to exercise three times during the week. Pick one area to work on this week and build on that each week. Join us in the bingo for the week.1 -

Not an all around good week but I did exercise twice. I apologize for not being around today but I was fighting one of my bad headaches. Tomorrow is a busy day as we are all going to brunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Everyone is then coming back here for cake which I have to pick up tomorrow morning.
This coming week is a busy one as I have five appointments in five days. I really want to get 3 sessions of exercise so I will have to be creative.
Have a great Sunday!

I know you don't like logging food in the app but i'd recommend you try it for a week. At the end of the day weight loss is about calories in vs calories out. If you're not losing you're eating to many calories .... logging and seeing the calories you actually eat might be enlightening! Remember the 300 calories you discovered were in trail mix??? Go on, just try it! What do you have to lose? Only lbs

I love swimming but haven't been near any pools since last November! Finally yesterday got to swim! Omg only managed 20 lengths (20 mins non stop) and my arms and shoulders were done! I know working muscles hard causes little tears and water retention but I'm up 3lb this morning! Not letting that put me off ... going again today!5
