Water-3-4ltrs n pln to do egg diet for 10 days in this month to reach up my goal

I am super tired today, my sweet dog has a stomach virus and was up every 30 to 45 minutes last night. It is hoping to be a tough day, I could not get out of bed for my morning walk, I will walk when I get home today. Carbs will be my biggest challenge today since I crave them when I am tired and under the weather.

I am having trouble seeing life's "silver lining" these days. I have an old knee injury from a car accident when i was in high school 25+ years ago (did i really just age myself?!) and it is seriously giving me the blues. Its swollen big like a cantaloupe, very painful, had to buy a knee brace to walk at all, and still doing so with a pronounced limp. I was walking 10K+ steps per day when i got my fitbit, but i think it was too much too soon and now I am paying for it. i am still using my Tower 200 (a weighted pulley system for strength training) but i really think the walking was making such a huge difference. It just makes me sad. Everyone around me keeps telling me to rest. But honestly, its sitting on my rear end that got me to where i have to lose 100+ lbs. I don't want to lose the momentum I had. Any advice? I really rely on all of you, my pals, to give me that kick in the butt when i need it, ya know?

Fitness/Health Goals: My goal for this next week is to step up my game at the gym. I really slacked this week! I'm going to let myself rest this weekend and just do some light exercise. Then starting Monday I'm going to go hard all week. My tracking has been good all week and I'm having a "cheat meal" tonight but then I'm going to reign it in for the rest of the weekend. My loss was pretty small this week which is fine because it's going in the right direction but I would like to see it be more next week.

Fitness/Health Goals: to drink more water! I'm barely drinking 500ml of water a day at the moment so I definitely want to increase my intake!

Big achievement this week!! Finally made it into a healthy BMI range for the first time in 7 years. It's a flawed system for measuring weight/health but it still feels good!

Fitness/Health goal: Do C25K 3 times a week. Hit 10000 steps 6 days per week. Get more accurate with my food logging. More fruit and veggies. Less sugar. Investigate options for a trainer to start strength training.

Second Weigh-in: Biggest loss I've ever had in 1 week! Hit my step count goals, but missed on the C25K. I was really tired from last week's family visit (almost double my normal step count every day for 4 days), so I think I made the right choice for my body.

Side note: I'm amazed at how much less added sugar I'm having. I started this journey off with 3 weeks of no added sugar and it was seriously the best thing ever! Everything tastes so much sweeter and I haven't touched the huge bag of British sweets from Granny (though the bag of Cadbury Eclairs has been calling my name off and on).
