    Weigh in week: 2
    Weigh in day: sun
    Previous Weight: 167.2
    Today's Weight: 170

    I have no idea what sparked this weight jump. I wonder if I need to cut out some carbs...?

    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!

    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 water

    WooHoo!!! Welcome to a new decade! Congratulations!!!

    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?

    Last February when I started I was doing these a lot. I didn’t do this particular one. Maybe I should try them again.

    Monday check in

    Calories: under
    Exercise: got a 30 minute walk in before the doctors
    Water: just squeaked in

    The doctor said I could do my walk tomorrow even though I had the cortisone. I am aiming to start swimming 🏊‍♀️ laps Wednesday night. Have a great night all!

    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.

    My February goals are......

    Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
    Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
    Run 5K on Saturday's
    Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
    Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)
    Wednesday’s are rest day.

    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!
