Morning exercise goal: 5/7 last week and 5/6 so far this week
Knees are still a bit sore from last week's fall, but definitely improving. Life is hectic right now - last 2 weeks of the school year, plus youngest son will graduate from high school.
Nice loss! Hope you feel better soon 💜1 -

Almost have reached 80 ponds lost. My start weight was 262.8. The pilots did not go on strike so Vegas here I come. I am taking the girls to the pool soon. My granddaughter’s friends mom dropped off 20 Tim bits. They are calling my name but I keep telling them to be quiet. At 90 calories a Tim bit it’s so not worth it.
Happy Friday,
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽awesome work!! And way to avoid those Tims! I would be a goner 🤣0 -

So getting back to where I was last week took some work as I was quite a bit higher after last weekend on the road. We drove to Indianapolis last Friday for a soccer tournament with our youngest son that started night. Saturday morning was game #2 and then we drove to Ohio to move his older brother into a company-provided house for his summer internship. After cleaning the place, we got back on the road to Indianapolis that night and then after the Sunday afternoon game, it was back on the road to St. Louis late Sunday night. We had a nice Sunday brunch for Mothers Day but between that, breakfast at the hotel, fast food for lunch and Mexican and BBQ for dinner with the team, this did not make for a healthy diet or weight loss so I was glad to get back home.4 -

So happy for you, Linda! A great weigh-in, a good exercise week so far, spending time in the pool with your granddaughter, ignoring the siren call of the Timbit and last but not least, Vegas, Baby!!

Thursday Recap
- Eating only at Level 3: yes
- Water (Goal 64 oz) : 65oz
- Increased intensity while walking: yes, and additional 40 minute walk at lunch
- THOUGHTS: Another good day and no response on the scale. Very fickle indeed!
You had a loss so that’s a positive. The scale will move eventually just keep doing everything right.

Lots of exercise yesterday. Ended the day with 98 exercise minutes on my watch. I had a lot of pain on the walk to Wendy’s. I think after 2 hours at the pool(I didn’t exercise the whole 2 hours), walking was probably not the best idea. Lesson learned. Anyways, I made it back home and I didn’t eat Wendy’s.
Have a great weekend!

Keto is doing the trick for me. I got kicked out of ketosis for one day this week, I want to say it was Wednesday and boy could feel it, BUT I refrained from indulging in carbs. I went to bed, had a long fast and was back in the next day! I have felt pretty good this week. Not sure how long I will be able to sustain this lifestyle because I can tell my muscles are weaker when it comes to exercising. Anyway, that is a recap of my week. Hope everyone has a great weekend!3 -

PW: 142.2 pounds (May 13th) (Lost 2.3 pounds)
CW: 142.2 pounds (May 20th) (Maintained)
Super proud of myself for achieving a maintain this week as the previous 2 weeks I lost a whopping 6 pounds, mostly because my body was revolting so I couldn't eat much and what I did eat didn't remain in me for long so I figured once I was able to start eating regularly again that I would gain some of that weight back, which did in fact happen as on Thursday I weighed 144.4 pounds because when I did start eating regularly again I ended up eating a lot of unhealthy foods, especially because I celebrated my birthday, but I got back to healthier eating on Thursday and Friday and focused on drinking my water and kept up with my walking for exercise and I dropped the weight back off.
I've lost 9 weeks in a row followed by a maintain so I am really happy about this accomplishment.
I'm still dealing with some health problems but doing the best I can with my weight loss journey and fitness journey under the circumstances.
I am down 27.8 pounds from my highest weight 7 years ago.
I only have 12.2 pounds to reach my goal weight which I almost can't believe!
I know the last pounds are often the hardest to lose but now that I am this close I feel it's doable even though I know it's going to be hard work!6 -

Did a couple of loops around the apartment to reach my step goal. This was a great week for weight loss and exercise. We have to pick up goodies from the bakery for my son in laws birthday. I am going to attempt to walk there. It will be the furthest I walked so far.
One week to Vegas! 🎰
