Exercise Yes We took the puppy to the Farmers Market. She is getting much better meeting other dogs but still wants to lick everyone. And I love the fresh local fruits and veggies but I have to walk the entire market so I know I am getting the best deal.

7/16
Tracking Yes
Calories Yes
Exercise Yes Went out early in the morning to walk since it was supposed to get up to 98 again today. Since it was that hot did not walk at the park before class tonight but did the stairs before class.

Weigh in week 3 July 16
weigh in day Monday
Last week 238.8
This week 238.3

I was a little surprised as it is so hot here and my hands and feet are swollen from water retention from the heat so I will happily take a half pound down.

Happily take half a pound, indeed!!! Think of how much more will fall off once the swelling goes away!! You know, maybe I have never really tried to lose weight seriously in the summer before, but it is really hard with the heat making you feel like doing absolutely nothing, or in your case, Mary, retaining water!! But, we'll be better off for it if we persevere!!

Good for you!! You have reversed your upward trend, and now you are down 0.2 for the month!! I know it's not a lot, but it is going in the right direction now, and it is something you can build on!! Keep doing what you are doing!!!

Exercice: 28 363 steps. No time for the gym.

That’s a lot of steps!!

Thanks. Been trying to walk to work and back everyday (45 min away from where I live) and I go back home for lunch to get extra steps and a healthy lunch. So that is a good 3h of walking a day. It's very relaxing as well.

What a great idea of a way to fit exercise into your day...and you get to collect your thoughts and clear your mind all at the same time!!

Hurt my back on Sat...been taking it easy and doing yoga for back pain and stretching.

So sorry to hear that, Drea! I hope the pain goes away soon and that the yoga and stretching are helping. Depending on the type of back pain you have, walking can also be good for it! But definitely taking it easy is the way to go!!

The beer distributor I work for is getting audited tomorrow. So i spent a good 4-5 hours lifting, carrying and stacking cases of beer and was on my feet for almost 11 hours. No time for the gym, and my sore back probably couldnt handle the gym

I think you already got your workout without going to the gym!!!

0.8lb loss

Would have liked to see a bigger loss but it was shark week (just ended yesterday) and I had a couple less than optimal days (although i stayed under goal everyday). Hopefully next week it all catches up.

Great job on eating at a deficit all week and posting a loss of almost a pound!! Keep working hard this week, and more will be gone next week!!

I think I am all caught up (except for the mini challenge results). Monday was a day from hell, (carb fest, really tired, hardly even acknowledged my husband, didn't get off my Big Butt at all), and I don't think I spent much time on MFP, either. Definitely not in the evening, at least. Yesterday was a good day, but I had to leave the house around 8:30 am for a car appointment an hour away. (We bought our car in my hometown.) While I was there I spent a long time visiting with my parents and having lunch with them. I didn't log my food, but I am pretty positive I was under, even with the alcoholic beverage I had with my very sensible salad!! I got in 52 active minutes according to Fitbit, of walking around downtown and along the river while I waited for my car to be finished. Today is good so far...the humidity has broken, so I went for a run/walk...it had been six days!
