@jdelaroy Good for you getting the kids fishing gear. I think kids today need to do more of the "simple" things in life. It is good for them to be out in nature and away from electronics and whatnot. Good family fun! My son is almost 28 and fishing is still his favourite pastime.

Good morning, happy hump day! Could have cried when I got on the scale this morning. I am 6.5 lbs from my lowest a month ago. All this stress, being out of the house, surrounded by mud, overruns on the projects by a minimum of 10k, my dog's health has me just overwhelmed. I failed at my goals yesterday but am feeling a little more resolute this morning. We should be back in the house in a couple of days and then I will be full tilt busy from then on.
Anyway enough whining, the end is in sight and by the end of the weekend things should be looking better. Today is my last day of work until Tuesday so that is an immense relief and the weather forecast is good. Those 2 things alone will go along way to lifting my spirits.

Today's goals:
get through the work day
pick up supplies at hardware store
eat to plan at work
maybe a yoga class tonight (so I can get a shower)

Spreadsheet will be up dated by end of day and then I will be mostly MIA till next week.

Good morning flowers!!!

@TerriRichardson112 you're so close to your goal weight it's very inspiring to see your progress!!! Great going!

@Kenda2427 glad to hear you have some time off work, that should help you out tremendously!

@jdelaroy enjoy your sister time and make the most of it!!!

I think I did ok yesterday but protein could have been higher. I noticed for the past few weeks that my active calories have spiked up according to my tracker. Funny enough, I pretty much have the same routine, same workouts and same step count. On my rest days, the active calories are low and normal so I can't presume it's an error with my tracker. I'm beginning to wonder if I should eat more since most days I end up with some big deficits. I decided to just listen to my body and only eat more is I'm hungry.

Goals for today are keep things simple and achievable: eat within calories/macros with more protein, training, chin-ups, steps, water and good sleep.

Let's have a fabulous Wednesday!!!

@fitphoenix Enjoy the nice weather!! It does make it easier to get out and walk!! That's sweet you check in on your coworkers & walk together. That makes it more fun!

Well I've been missing for a few days, trying to get back with it!! I pretty much took the weekend off & didn't log anything. I think I stayed on track with my water. My sister was here & we went to the Garth Brooks concert. @GrandmaJackie, he was AMAZING!! He gave away 2 signed guitars (1 to a boy with Downs Syndrome & another to the girl that thought she was getting the first guitar, until she realized it was for the boy & happily gave it to him with a hug) & also his cowboy hat to an 8 year old girl that just finished with chemo. It was very touching! Then we had a party on Saturday night with tons of Mexican food and margaritas. Sunday was Mothers Day & my hubby made one of my favorites, chicken fried steak. I cut it in half and put it in the fridge before I even started, so that was a plus, but still overdid it.

My oldest came home from college on Friday, and will be here for the summer. Yay:) We sat down yesterday & figured out meals for the rest of the week. I do so much better when I have a plan! Back to making sure I get my water in! I was up a little for our weigh in, but that's no surprise. I just need to refocus and get back to work!! This weekend will be busy too. I have 2 graduation parties, bunco & a birthday party. May sure is a busy month! I hope everyone is having a great week.

Goals for the rest of the week
Drink 10 glasses of water a day
Log everything that goes into my mouth
Get some exercise in
Catch up on laundry

Sorry I haven't been talking lately. I have been checking in daily though. We all have had a tough couple days over he weekend didn't we..LOL
The GOOD thing is that we are all back on the right track now.

I have actually done better than I expected for some odd reason. TOM usually messes me up BIG time but not this week. I WILL TAKE IT.. LOL ! NOW if I can keep it going through TOM's stay I will be in GREAT shape !!

I have fallen off the Jillian and Aftershock track though so need to get that going again.

I finally learned something new about my body. I require a TON of water !! Since I started getting around 100oz per day I have been losing weight !! I only weigh 130 so I didn't think I would need so much, WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK IT !!??!! SO now I am focused on making sure to get at least 90-120oz of water EVERY day !
