    Weigh In Week: May- week 3
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Week's weight: 171
    Todays Weight: 172.5😭

    So I'm still having a hard time. I was all ready to get back on track but on Monday I was pulling weeds in my yard for a while and my back was achy all day. During the night our dumpster got blown over so Tuesday I was picking up all the trash and I completely threw my back out! So I have been useless ever since. Because my brain is a mess I somehow think "Since I can't exercise for a stress reliever I'm going to binge for a stress reliever." I've been doing stretches for my back and it's getting better slowly, hopefully its back to normal soon!

    I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad you are getting better, though. It sounds like the stretches are helping. :)

    Lessons learned: Yesterday, I was counting calories, but didn't check the count of a coconut macaroon until it was too late. I thought they would have about 50 calories each...170 calories EACH. And I had three of them. So, no assumptions in the future--I will check the calorie count first.

    I am also dealing with a new family member's habits. My Mom (the macaroon purchaser) is staying with us for the summer. I love having her here, but she has very poor eating and exercise habits. I'm going to try to teach her some healthy habits. Today, I made her oatmeal with berries, and later I am going to teach her a line dance.

    MUAC for 5/19/20:
    Tracked: Yes
    Under: No
    Exercised: Yes

    I’m personally not doing as well as I would like to be with my water intake lately... I’m gonna try to implement this tomorrow.

    Trying to remember this. with it being hot right now, it is really important to stay hydrated. I have noticed that my weight fluctuates more when it is hot and I haven't been drinking enough.

    Thank you Brandi! I’m feeling very proud of this person I am now. Old me would have flicked her the bird finger but now she respects and hangs back until I want a cheeseburger! Lol

    I am sharing the excitement of Dillon, the puppy, turning 1 today! I did go a little crazy about it(hence the hat), and I am making him a puppy cake(in bone shape!) this weekend... of course, he will have to share with his brother! I may make a cake for my boyfriend and I this weekend, so we can enjoy some with the puppies!

    Too cute. He looks so happy. Happy Birthday, Dillon!! Enjoy the celebration, Christine.

    He is adorable!! What a fun celebration. I love the idea of the bone cake.

    @richmondwriter thank you! And he LOVED the cake! It was peanut butter flavored! And I added a little peanut butter to the icing for both of the puppies to enjoy!

    I went back to work yesterday!!

    I am so glad the gym is back open. I attended a weight class on Monday and taught my first Spinning class on Tuesday. We have a lot of new rules, but it was so nice to be back. And I am happily sore today 😄

    @simbersea I am so happy for you! They opened up non-essential retail and outdoor-seating restaurants here today. The earliest date gyms will open in CT is June 20th, but that is not definite. We will see!

    I understand!!! I meet my mom to give her groceries, and she's always got some type of desert to send back with me! This week it is vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and chopped walnuts... I keep telling myself there is protein in the walnuts! 🤣

    I hope you enjoy your mother's company, and the two of you can compromise on food choices!
