First weigh in for April and it’s already going the wrong direction. Actually I’ve been between 189 and 191 for a couple of weeks now. I am exercising 6 out of 7 days each week (running) but I know for a fact that my intake is NOT good. I have been doing a lot of stress and emotional eating followed by mindless eating and well I’m just doing all the eating there is at the moment. I think that the only reason My weight hasn’t shot of drastically is because of my daily workouts. I am keeping myself at maintenance but that’s not what I want. I need to get back to weight loss and I’m struggling due to this confinement and my over all mental and emotional state.

Since we’ve been home and have limited access to shopping we’ve been doing lots of homemade baked foods like bread and cakes and pies. It’s something to keep us busy with the kids as they all enjoy to help out. The problem is it all gets eaten up by yours truly. Any tips on baking the cake but NOT eating it too?

Here are a few pictures of our baking adventures....

Really glad to have my first week behind me. The old "good" habits are starting to form ... as little take-out as possible, tracking everything, drinking water, and - yes - starting to exercise (a major step for me!). The "Living a Healthier Life" mentality is just starting to kick back into place. Overall, I'm pleased with my first week.

Amazing loss! Great first week!

Steps: 5647

1. Spend less time online and more quality time with my husband: I think I did pretty good. We went on a 4+ mile bike ride in the morning and in the afternoon we worked together on sanding and painting some bentwood rockers I want to put out on the porch. It was a great day!

Log all food and beverages honestly
Drink at least 8 cups of water
Do morning stretches
Do at least 2 5 minute walking sessions

Get outside if weather permits

I really, really, really need to get outside. I've had it in my daily goals for several days but it's rained the last 3 days. I may resort to just going for a short drive in the car. No people interactions but my mental health needs a serious break from the inside walls of my house.

Stay safe everyone! Have a good day.

Exercise: 40 minutes Friday and none Saturday
