I think I strained my hamstring just now on a walk. Maybe it was the 30 seconds I jogged 😒
I probably won’t be able to make my 3 miles a day goal this week unless it’s feeling better in a few days. I’ll have to adjust my routine to eat a little less and/or add some other workout to compensate.

Rest it and don’t push it. I had to cut my walk short due to my leg pain. We have to listen to our bodies.

Happy Saturday!!

To be honest I'm just about done with this. I've tried so many food calculators to find my deficit. I am always hungry.
Steps for 5/16 is 16561 I think.

Don’t give up! We’ll help you find something that works. Have you tried any sort of dense but low calorie options? Like oatmeal (with sugar and cinnamon for me—can’t stand bland food) or a big salad with a protein on top (and dressing, because as far as I’m concerned lettuce can go eat itself if it doesn’t have something tasty on top— see previous comment about bland food). Anyway I’m sure the team has other ideas about how to fill up so you’re not hungry, all while staying under calorie goals.

Personal update (along the same lines actually), I was under calories yesterday according to MFP, but up 1.2 lbs this morning on the scale. I’m planning to eat light today since my hamstring is still a little tight so I won’t be doing much exercise.

Have you spread your calories out evenly over the day? I had to go back to my old way of eating this last week. I am spreading my calories over 3 meals and 2 snacks. This way I am eating fairly regularly and don’t feel the hunger as much. Try keeping some low calorie snacks like cut up veggies for when you get real hungry.

Saturday’s check in
Calories: over 🤦‍♀️
Exercise: 21 minute walk
Water: not enough

I ended up getting into bread again and it put me over for the day. I let myself get into boredom eating. Very dangerous.

My leg bothered me after grocery shopping yesterday so I wasn’t able to get a long walk in. I was out already this morning and I had a decent walk. Not going to do very much today except clean the apartment.

What can I say - it was my first week "out" after our deconfinement has begun, in terms of calorie counting I've not been great but I tried to watch what I ate. My big downfall is alcohol - Friday night we were drinking until 4 am so Saturday I ate way too much, and Friday was carb-heavy so I'm sure most of the damage is water weight, but it still doesn't negate the fact that I'm undoing all the good work I'm putting in. I did do my workouts - 6 times this week (3x Kayla Itsines calisthenics + hiit & 3x c25k) and I walked way more, but numbers are numbers and I'm at the same weight as April 10th. I'm a bit disappointed in myself but I won't beat myself up because I know what the problem is and I worked out consistently. I'll try to do better next week.
