    Hey everyone! Sorry, I just do not have a lot of time this week and will be gone from Friday the 16th till Monday the 26th. I want to read everyone's updates and progress but just no time right now. :( Sorry!

    I will weigh in on Friday but will most likely be missing weigh in for the 23rd.

    Everything's going great though! The hardest part will be getting back on track after a vacay. You guys all know how that can be! Keep at it team, you guys rock!!

    Enjoy your vacay! I personally know how it can be so just do your best and don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two on splurging you can always make up for it when you return.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes, 1 hour Snatch "practice"
    Water Intake: 99 oz

    Day/Goals: 1 hour Snatch "practice" -- what really happened was far better than that. I finally FINALLY got the snatch right and moved up to real "bumper" plates. FINALLY! It's been 8 weeks of trying and not succeeding. Now I can work on actually snatching heavy. REALLY happy about this. I mean my gym performance lately has been great, all around great--been hitting and exceeding all of my weight goals and I knew I would get there, but today I decided to try something a little different and it finally happened, super excited.

    I am excited for you as well I kmow how it can be when you accomplish all you set out to do

    Can someone please explain net calories? Some days mine are in the negative.

    According to MFP: A negative calorie adjustment indicates that you are using fewer calories on a given day than our original MyFitnessPal estimate. The option for allowing negative calorie adjustments can be found by logging in to your account at www.myfitnesspal.com, then clicking "My Home" then "Settings" then "Diary settings"

    This is supposed to help you get an idea of where you're headed for the day but the problem I always faced was I was more active at work and then would come home and relax..and was burning a lot less calories than I was before so it was always negative. It's not necessarily a big deal if you are eating a fixed amount and don't eat extra calories when you are exercising, it IS a problem when you are using that to budget your calories. I actually turned it off, and then ultimately disconnected my fitbit later for other reasons.

    Hope that makes sense.

    I did notice that it was on days that they were negative were when I didn't eat breakfast and had lunch very late. Thank you for explaining it to me.

    Thank you for your encouragement! I will not be tracking my calories and I will not be on Keto while there. It will be a very social and possibly exotic experience food-wise. I am not setting and limits on myself. My only plan is to only have coffee for breakfast (unless something else is presented to me) and then to hopefully only eat half of what I am served. (unless that is considered rude...I'd better ask a friend before I leave) I will also be drinking hopefully quite a bit while there so I'm just going to be taking a mental count of everything. I hope my friend I'm staying with has a scale so I can keep tabs but I'm afraid to ask.

    Daily Post Wednesday

    So today was basically an okay day as I was in a lot of pain today but I still have to go to my therapy appointments because I want to stay on track and losing weight and not binging so I made it to my appointment and also I walked two blocks to go pick up my glasses and I was very proud of myself because usually I'll stop and rest after a block but I made it without stopping so YIPPEE for me. I have to take those proud moments when I can.

    Track yes
    Calories yes under as always so proud to say that.
    Exercise walking 10 minutes
    Water 94 Oz I got to do better

    Daily Post for Thursday

    So I just finished eating my breakfast regimen and I remembered that I was supposed to start doing some work out that I created for myself on skimble those who do not know it's a workout app that you can create your own exercise according to your needs so being that I suffer from back and knee pain I put some exercise in there for me. So this morning my workout was supposed to be for 25 minutes I only did 15 but I'm proud of myself maybe tomorrow I'll do better.

    Track yes
    Calories yes will be under my meals are prepared for today
    Exercise yes 15 minutes of creative workout on skimble app
    Water I aim to drink 100 ounces

    So I just realized I forgot the Question of the Week!

    Baseball is rapidly approaching ( and I'm super excited) so in this spirit, here's the question:

    What is your favorite spring or summer sport?

    You don't necessarily need to play it either. :)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes, but only because I had a very intense workout session and a subsequent active day cleaning house.
    Exercise: Yes, 73 minutes Deadlifts, Thrusters, Rows, Upright Rows, Side Bends
    Water Intake: 99 oz

    Day/Goals: Had a great and tough workout today. I am into the final 2 weeks of this program cycle and then I will be retesting my max lifts and I am nervous but excited to see where I land. Today's workout was a bit tougher than any of them previously for some reason..maybe it's because I forgot my belt :p
