Thank you!! ☺️ I hope to keep myself more active this week and improve my steps.
My steps on weekends were very low, not much active.

I had a major weight gain this week. Sorry to let the team down. I was on a bit of a diet break, trying to eat at maintenance. It didn't go very well. But back at it today!3 -

I went to the pool with the kids today. While they were playing, I treaded water for awhile. I went for a walk this evening and I got my 7000 steps in today. Stayed within my calories but I cut it very close. The next couple of days they are calling for rain and thunderstorms so I may not get much swimming or walking done.3

@lindamtuck2018. Thanks, Linda. I needed that. I did well today. My goal is to get back to 244 or less by the end of July, so I won't have a gain for the month. Thanks again!3

Daily check in: felt a bit meh yesterday and I'd be lying if some of it wasn't scale related...... I wish I didnt let that number define my mood so easily! Snacked a little bit too much in the evening but in general was on track with food and good with exercise and water.
Hoping for a good day today, slept better last night and got a lovely evening planned tonight with a couple of mates (will prob take me over cals, but I'm trying to believe I'll limit the damage!)
I'm enjoying the pyramid challenge and have already planned my 20 minute walk in for the day and have an idea how I'll get in an extra veggie!
Have a lovely Tuesday everyone!1 -
Forgot to add, steps yest were 11 254. Low for me even with a 35 min walk after work......!1

Daily check in:
No swim today but I did walk twice. There were light rain showers when I went for my second walk and I almost turned around. My neighbor was leaving the building at the same time and she reminded me I am not sugar and I won’t melt. Yesterday’s steps: 7,490.
@LaurieWrobo I am glad your migraine finally eased off.
@kilobykilo do you use a weight trending app? I use Happy Scale and it gives me a better overall picture of my weight variations.1 -
@lindamtuck2018 I love walking/running in light rain! Was brought up with the mantra 'you won't melt'!
I use libra; but still don't like the number rising! I hope to eventually move away from weighing in often, but, need to be closer to goal first!
Had a lovely evening last night, and only a couple of glasses of wine; but far too much bread, cheese and pizza (whoops!) Back on it today and determined to have a great 7 days between tomorrow's weigh in and the next!
Steps for 16th July - 17952
Today I've planned in my fruit and walk and looking forward to evening stretches! Something that might just become a habit

Hey guys! I've been a little absent for a few days. I've been feeling overwhelmed with always being "behind" on everything. I just decided to push hard and get caught up. Finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm excited because today is a half day at work, so maybe this afternoon I will get a chance to take a walk or jog. The heat here is brutal right now. 😵 I preplanned all three main meals for this entire week (and already logged them in MFP) and so far that has been amazing. A real time saver.

I am very happy with this week. A bit surprised, but very happy. I had some making up to do since last weeks number was a pound up after a 6 day vacation.
It just shows that the hard work pays off. In reading the threads here, I’ve noticed that some of our teammates have been struggling. I hope to provide some encouragement and motivation. This is a long difficult path.
I find that the motivation for me comes from thinking of how badly I want that goal. Focus focus focus on that goal. Make it your constant subconscious thought. How great will you feel standing on the scale and seeing that number? This is how I have remained on track. It helps me to make the better small choices each day that will ultimately get me there. If you eat that donut or cheeseburger today you might feel great for a minute or 2, but then you’ll feel awful. Remind yourself.
My road has not been perfect by any stretch. I have certainly had my challenges and have slipped several times. I think what has helped me is the working out. I still eat healthy about 80% of the time, but I’ve eaten some bad food. But I’ve kept up with the workouts. Weights 3 days a week and at least 30 minutes of real hard cardio 3-5 days a week.
I started at 205 on May 20th and joined this group June 1. I still have 26lbs to hit my ultimate goal, so a long way to go!
C’mon shrinking assets! Let’s kick *kitten* the rest of July and keep that winning spot and we’ll all feel awesome at the end of another successful month!
After all that unsolicited nonsense, I’m sure I’ll be 194 next Wednesday! 😜🤪😂8
