    @cmhubbard92 your addition is adorable and it sounds like he’ll be a great help in getting things back on track. Wonder if I could convince my husband to do the same - lol??? We have one mini dachshund, but I’d love to have another.

    Mini challenge, Monday, 8/20/19

    Tracked - yes
    Under - yes
    Exercise - no

    Plan was to go walking in the afternoon, but rain showers stopped that from happening. I need to plan to have an indoor activity available for times when the rain comes (it happens a lot in SW Louisiana).

    @pkg1998 thank you! He is the thing we all needed! He loves to sleep a lot, but once he gets going, he's hard to keep up with!

    I am so sad. I feel like I have been working so hard, and I have gained. I have been prepping my meals, walking every day, coming under calories...just doesn't seem possible, or fair. Just needed to vent for a minute. I will keep plugging along.

    @heaz10 thank you! We managed to get the last puppy at the shelter we went to. We upset a lot of people, because there were another 20-30 people after us looking to get a dog. We were also so lucky that after waiting so long, that Roy got along with the little guy(but Roy gets along with everyone) and we were able to bring him home. We went on a whim, but ended up being so fortunate!

    @cossmoss15 I'm looking forward to it! Yesterday was just some backyard playing because of the storm we were getting, I didn't want to get us stuck in the rain on our walk. Today we're going for a walk early because were supposed to have another storm tonight.

    @heaz10 Have you checked your macros? Maybe need to adjust some percentages?

    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: 53 minutes walking with the pup. Dillon is going to be a great exercise pup! He enjoyed jogging more than walking! He wanted to keep going when we jogged, and stop a lot when we walked.

    @stubbornloser thank you!

    @heaz10 don't get sad! Your weight changes daily and little things like sodium, time of the month, etc affect it. If you go a few weeks without a loss, maybe see if you need to adjust your deficit down a hundred or so calories a day. Don't let the lack of a loss get you down! You are doing great!

    @cossmoss15 thanks 🤗 have fun on your hike.

    Weigh in Wednesday
    Last week- 230.4
    This week- 231.6
    ⬆1.2lbs

    Idk what happened. I've been under my calorie goals, exercised and drank more than enough water. Maybe just stress. My baby girl started kindergarten this morning. She's super excited but I'm so nervous for her.

    Maybe check out youtube exercise videos? Amazon Prime also has a lot of videos included with the sunscription as well

    I hate this, it happens to all of us. Sometimes we work hard and the scale doesn’t cooperate. Then sometimes we feel like we didnt do much and then it “magically” moves. Keep at it!
