    Will plan better today to prep for Mother’s Day brunch tomorrow.

    Back from the weekend horse event. We had a successful weekend as far as the event went and I had a really great time.

    I thought I did ok in the food department other an Saturday night I ended up having a couple of thin crust salty pizza slices. We brought alot of our own food and I walked what must have been 20000 steps a day. My feet are killing me and my left knee started to bug me yesterday. I noticed at the end of the both days my legs were a puffy ,(sock lines).

    Can being on your feet all day cause water retention? Kinda odd but there was swelling in my left knee after wearing compression socks the second day to try to help the swollen lower leg issues. Not sure if the socks pushed the swelling up into my knee or my knee was just irritated from being on my feet for about 12 hrs a day for two days.

    Nonetheless, I am hoping that is what the uptick is related to. (plus 3 hours of sitting yesterday afternoon driving home) I am totally wiped out from all the weekend activities. Work is going to be a challenge today..

    Ok I am finally back down to the new low I got to in April. Maybe I will finally break through this plateau.
    @HappyDonkey75 yes for sure being on your feet causes the water and fluid to pool in your legs. For me it helps if at the end of the day I lie down and put my legs up the wall, and use a dry brush to massage the legs towards my waist. And that also calms the body before sleep so double benefit.

    The swelling has gone down ,and mostly back to normal. I took a diuretic and avoided salty foods for last two days.. thank you for all who responded to my question about that. I did not realize that could happen. Movement is supposed to prevent water retention so it didn't make much sense to me.

    I struggled through my workout tonight . I ended up working out later than I wanted to because we had to run one of the trailers to the shop which was over an hour trip there and back. By the time I got home I was tired and really wanted to skip but I dragged myself out to my little gym , cranked on some tunes and got it done. I did not get much in last week and had not worked out since last Thursday. It sure is easy to start slipping.

    I am going to cut back my calories again for the rest of the week another 100 calories. Maybe it will shock my system? I have been at a little over 1700 which is still a deficit… but clearly I am not losing… I am just so tired of this being stuck.. month 3 now I think… what the heck is wrong with me? I feel like I have tried everything I know to break a stall and nothing really has worked. So infuriating.

    Cardio day tomorrow - blah..

    Yesterday my work stress was out of control. I should have worked out to make myself feel better after work but felt glued to the couch. Scale today is the result. This is probably the biggest thing about myself I'd like to change. Recognizing the trigger in the moment and changing the path and outcome. Hubby made a really nice chopped salad for dinner and will have the leftovers for lunch.

    C'mon, this can't be right…🙃 I did use my other scale (withings) and it also read 165.6 so for today I am almost at goal… but……I know better than to get excited about this number given the drastic swing. I will keep my calories at 100 less again (2 days now of doing that) for remainder of week/weekend and see how we do .

    @tishsmith101 - I understand those days all too well. I was so tired yesterday afternoon and could have easily planted myself on the couch with my heated blanket and never left . It sounds like you didn't make any bad food choices so celebrate that as a win and recognize that sometimes rest is what we need too.

    Yesterday was hard for me to get my workout done too. I had not worked out for several days and knew if I continued on that path It just makes it that much harder . Goals goals goals.. I keep reminding myself of those when I want to quit..and I wanted to quit yesterday..

    I have been frustrated over pain in my groin from all the exercise I have done this month. Then - eating potato chips and popcorn. That’s just sabotage! Now that they are gone 😬 I am not going to buy any for a while.
    I’m going to cut back 100 calories a day until I see the results I really want. And continue the PT exercises and yoga stretches. They are working (slowly).

    138. Undecided as to whether to hang out at this weight for a while or drop a few pounds. Im not sure I have the bandwidth required for a deficit st the moment
