No pre-packing a lunch or gym bag tonight! I was supposed to have jury duty tomorrow, but it was cancelled. I am working Sunday in exchange for having tomorrow off. I will still get to the gym tomorrow, and will likely put some focus on some strength. I won't be rushing, but I hope to be able to go to the beach/lake tomorrow, or at least walk the boardwalk or hike... just do anything outside!
I am loving everyone's positivity in here! I haven't been able to read through all the posts, but keep it up team!2 -

Hi Everybody,
I’ve not had a great start to the month sorry and am weighing in at 164.2.
I’ve had a real wobble with anxiety and stress and had a couple of days comfort eating (meals still fine but snacking a lot)
I’m so much more aware of doing this than I used to be though and much better at getting back on track. I know I need a gym session and some outdoor time to reset so have that planned for tomorrow.
Determined to get into the 150s this month!5 -
@lozenger1984 You can totally do this! 🥳I’m also starting out a bit higher than I had been but your plan of a gym session and fresh air sounds like a great plan!2

One of my extra goals for this week was to drink 40 oz of water everyday. I HATE water - no matter what I do to it. It will never be my “go to” drink, but I know drinking more of it will help me try to get this weight loss in motion. Unfortunately, it’s hard to drink that amount of water when the bathrooms are out of order in the building
. I was not prepared for having to “plan” when to make a trip to the other building for the bathroom. Did end up with 38 oz for the day so I guess I wasn’t too far off from my goal. 2 -

@cmhubbard92, a three and a half pound loss is more than just "decent".....it's fantastic!! It feels like you were just at 218, and now you are out of the teens altogether and the countdown to Onederland is on!! Whoo hoo!!3 -

@lozenger1984, my how far you've come! One hundred pounds ago, a bout of stress and anxiety would have led to what, "many days of binge eating"? Now you are what, a "couple of days of extra snacks"? You said it yourself...you are so much more aware of what you are doing now....that is why are successful. You are also aware of what will being you out of the funk you are in, (gym time and fresh air), which is key to getting back on track. You are only up point seven....you will be just fine!!2 -

@HASWLRS thank you! I think the summer heat is helping me push off the lbs! I know onderland is right around the corner, but I'm trying to be patient! I don't want to get overly anxious when I know my weight likes to stall out on me every once in a while! 😊2 -
@pkg1998 I know some people that can't stand plain water. I try to have mine ice cold but personally can drink a lot of it. I have recently added lemon, lime and mint leaf to my water to just give it a tad bit of flavor and it is pretty yummy!Monday, 7/1/19

Monday July 1st (Canada Day!!)
logged food and under calories: yes
exercise: yes, a 42 minute walk with my husband
steps: 13,728 (green screen day!)
I linked my Fitbit to MFP last week or so. Yesterday, I went for a walk with my husband (his idea!) and the walk burned 224 calories. I ate back 80 of those calories. However, because I had a much larger than normal stepping day, I was given 383 extra calories on top of my 224 for the walk, and this makes total sense to me. I went to bed feeling fine, but I knew that today I would be hungry!! Maybe I have been trying to eat too few calories, and that is why I have not been succeeding. It worked for me in the past (not having the two linked and only using my posted exercise calories to dip into), but being just a few years older now, and that much closer to menopause..... I may need to consider weekly calories, not daily calories. I need to feel that if I eat, let's say 1500 calories today (target set at 1290), that I am not failing at this!!4
