5/13/19 Mini Challenge
Tracked: Yes
Under: Yes
Exercise: 30 minutes walking

Weekly Challenge
Day: monday
Tracking: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes - 3 mile walk with Brody and yoga.
Today was a frustrating food day. My smoothies were suuuuper high in calories (chocolate hazelnut but it also had avocado, banana, kale, and something else i think and then i added flax and chia seeds so yay calories) so I started off the day higher than normal, and couldn’t get to feeling satiated.
Then i realize the sweet potato fajitas are clocked in at 880 cals, almost 100 more than it should be - my fault for how i entered it i guess - so my tracking is all out of whack.
But. Instead of fudging the numbers i did yoga and came in under by the skin of my teeth. The truth will out on Thursday though. Duh-duh-duuuuuh (dramatic music for emphasis). If all goes well I’ll be starting week two of my z25k and avoiding zombies. Woooo.

@brandi_84, well, what can I say....at least it's not a roller coaster anymore! Looking back on the last three weeks, does maintaining make sense with what you did, or are you generally baffled by the lack of movement on the scales?
The last couple of weeks I was focused on maintaining and not gaining. I had pulled a muscle in my back, which took some time to recover from. And then TOM came which made it even worse along with cravings and swelling. Honestly, I expected the scales to move the wrong way. I was quite relieved to see I was at least successful in maintaining.
I am getting back into loser mode - tracking and exercising.
@brandi_84, I am so happy to hear that it was planned and somewhat expected and that now you are ready to get back into tracking and losing!!3 -

Isn’t it frustrating when something that is full of nutrients is also full of calories?!! But good for you to walk it off, and then yoga it off!3 -

I'm definitely hoping so! I did notice that I've been losing more around my TOM, so that may bring lower scales next week! It could be a new pattern I have fallen into, despite doing all the right things every week!4 -

Going to be a rough week for tracking and meal planning. My parents are in town for my daughter’s graduation so not being at work will potentially get me off track. Going to do my best though.
@pkg1991, that's all you can do...just try your best!! Enjoy your daughter's graduation week! Does that mean she goes away next year?
@HASWLRS - yes it does. We live in Louisiana and she’ll be going to college in Mississippi. It’s one of my reasons for wanting to get healthier. She’s the baby of the family and I want to be healthier for all the wonderful adventures awaiting me and my husband as empty nesters.4 -
Monday, May 13th Mini Challenge
Tracking of food: Yes
Under calories: Yes
Exercise: 41 minute walk
Net steps: 12,162
My brother moved his wedding up from October to June 18th, and I'm matron of honor, so I now have 1 month to fit my postpartum body into a bridesmaid dress and feel comfortable for pictures! It's good motivation for self-control, lol.7 -

@susanpiper57, at this point, I suspect, you have a love-hate relationship with your brother, lol!! We are rooting for you!!3 -

@pkg1998, we are still waiting...our oldest lives at home, three years post college graduation!! He is saving for a house, but housing prices are so stupid, there is no such thing as an affordable starter home anymore. And if there is, it is in such bad shape that it practically has to be gutted!3 -
