Mini challenge
7/23
tracked-yes
Under yes
Exercise yes
Was run day but I slept in so decided to take a walk instead. I should have run. I let my inner lazy girl get me today.
@swauters, like Pam has said, at least you did something! So your inner girl wasn't completely lazy, just less than inspired!
@HASWLRS Oh, no... my inner lazy girl was completely lazy. I had to keep shoving her out of my way even on that slow walk.1 -

Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes, 40 minutes elliptical
Today I finally saw a 40 pound loss on the scale(down another 0.7 from yesterday) so I decided to treat myself to a iced coffee(first time in a while!) No guilt, because I had room in my log for the day, and I still have extra there to play with if I wish! I was pretty happy with myself! Tomorrow is my day off, but planning on doing some yard work and whatnot!3 -

Mini Challenge
7/24/19 yes/yes/yes
I can feel the stress and weird sleep cycle + travel taking its toll on me, even though I've been logging, under calories and doing exercise (except for yesterday). I can feel the inflammation in my body, and I also have had more carbs lately so even tho' under cals they pudge me up. Post-menopausal life means every system is extra sensitive to stress of any type.
That being said, I am so grateful to be a part of this group because whatever the scale says tomorrow morning, without you all IT COULD BE SO MUCH WORSE. Here's the stressors I'm facing in July:
- husband moved to FL early 7/1
- mom had major surgery - flew down to be with her for a week
- getting ready to move about 1000 miles away, downsizing from 4/4 3-story house to 2/1 bungalow
- teen son getting ready to go to college (registration, housing, insurance, PAY TUITION)
- teen son wisdom teeth out (tomorrow)
- HOA board (I'm President) seems to have at least 1-2 crisis weekly
and that's just the big stuff!
Thank you all for being a safe space for me to vent, and a great place for me to strive for a healthier life!0 -

@annabananamc, absolutely this is a safe space to vent or brag or whatever!! Moving is always stressful, so I can't even imagine a downsize move, 1000 miles away!! You are doing so well staying focused throughout all the big stuff this past month, and if we helped, even in the tiniest of ways, than I am happy for you!0 -

Thursday weigh-in
Last week 127.2
Today 125.8
I'm getting closer to my most recent lowest weight near the beginning of July of 124.6. I have started doing upper body exercises at home so hopefully will see some toning!
I've been riding my bike so that is certainly helping with burning calories! (of course I have to eat more during the long rides . . . )6 -

@cossmoss15, well done on your loss this week!! The summer exercise season seems to agree with you. And the incentive for lots of people to exercise is that they get to eat more calories!0 -

@Nicoletime4me, I am glad you recognize this as the accomplishment that it is! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!!1 -
Weigh In (early cause tomorrow is going to be a busy day)
Last: 244.4
This: 243.1
Well unfortunately when I went off the rails over the long 4th of July weekend I did so much damage that the month looks like I didn’t lose much.
But fortunately I have had a good three week run and am back on the path I was from March, April and May (June was a maintain month).
1.1 pounds per week for the next three weeks keeps me on track for my vacation goal.3 -

@annabananamc, absolutely, Ann, and no need to apologize. Any time between now and Saturday night....no rush. Hope your son's not in too much pain.0 -
Very tough one as we’re going through a heatwave today but I waited until the sun went down and got the ore weigh in workout done.
Does anybody use the app Aaptiv for workouts? I’m really enjoying it so signed up to the 5 week summer boot camp. This was day 2 🥵
