Sunday check in
Exercise: none
Calories: under but my food scale died so I had to estimate my chicken wings. I think I estimated high.
Water: ok
My leg was still bothering me today so no walking except to take Molly out. I am not going to plan any exercise for tomorrow as I see my rheumatologist tomorrow and I will be getting cortisone in my hips and shoulder. I can’t exercise for 24 hours after.2 -

Sunday weigh in day
Previous: 241.6 lbs
Current: 238.9 lbs
I'm in the 3s not the 4s
I needed some good news from the scale.
I know I am pretty and beautiful and all that jazz. But sometimes I feel not pretty, not beautiful, not attractive. And what even is pretty, and beautiful, and attractive?
To me, on one level, it means someone wants to date you and finds you attractive. On another level it means looking good on Instagram videos.
Sorry. I'm low key dear diarying.
Goals:
1. Stick to macros
2. Log everything
3. Exercise once a day (2 x cardio + 4 x strength) 6 times a week
4. Skip for 2 minutes a day (work up to it)
5. Drink 3 Liters of water4 -

I have no idea what sparked this weight jump. I wonder if I need to cut out some carbs...?
Did you have some higher sodium foods? I know with myself sodium can cause a big jump in the scale.2 -

Good morning everyone!! Thankfully, I am in a great mood so the most I did was give my scale a dirty look. I am in the green by a whole 2 ounces. My goal this week is to be super on top of logging my food and adjusting my macros. I think I'm taking way too many carbs but am not sure because I've been so frivolous with logging.
So, here is my weigh in.
Username: mellane30
Weighin week: 02/10/2020
Weighin day: Monday
Previous weight: 212.5
Current weight: 212.3
Calories over/under? Unsure. Need to log
Water: not nearly enough
Exercise: a littlr
Goals for tomorrow: Log everything and less carbs.2 -

Usually an unexpected gain like that is short-lived. It can be hormones, salt, a restaurant meal prepared with stuff you don’t know about...any number of things. Don’t get discouraged, though. I bet it’s gone in just a couple days!

We are doing great! This new team is knocking those pounds off left and right. Great work, Downsizers!1 -
Monday Check In
Calories: close, but probably over by a little
Exercise: exercise bike and will have over 10k steps today
Water: not enough
I’m pleased with my weekend this time. WAY better than last weekend. Working and hoping for a decent loss on Thursday.
I need to mix things up a little bit. I think I’ll do a Leslie Sansone walking video tomorrow since it’s going to be another day of flooding rains here. I haven’t done this particular one yet, but think I’ll give it a go. Anyone else want to join me?

Daily Check-in: Monday 02/10
Calories: Over 😩
Water: 2.250L
Steps: 15,292
Exercise: Gym Session (cardio + strength)
Happy Tuesday team! Had a great day yesterday. Got my gym session done nice and early again as I had some appointments in the morning. Went a little over my calories. I found this really nice nut and dried fruit mix at our local organic food shop and I can’t keep my hands out the box. They are so good but very high in calories and as careful as I am all day that handful of goodness always pushes me a little over for the day. I’m gonna have to put them away. Out of sight out of mind right. I bought them to a bit in oats. Need to keep them for what I planned them for only.
I didn’t go to my Zumba class last night as I have some pain in my left ankle since Friday nights Zumba. I decided to give it a week to heal properly.

I LOVE Leslie Sansone. I use her videos when I’m stuck home due to bad weather or when the kids are home from school. Such a great workout!1
