*Do house walking throughout the day in short bouts so I won't be too stiff....not so much

So, I'm back after a long absence. Was doing okay until 2 weeks ago and got way off track! Went to doctor and had lost 5 lbs, was sure I was going to have gained 5 lbs! Then I proceeded to sabotage myself and have been out of control! Not sure why I do this but now I'm back and jft will write everything down and stay within my calorie and nutrient goals, will drink water and work up to 10K steps. Will check back tomorrow. I CAN DO THIS ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!2
