Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24 Check-in

May 23 Steps - 16,547
May 24 Steps - 19,415

Water intake and food tracking are still not happening consistently. I am fairly certain I am eating under given the amount of steps I get in but I am going to make myself track food today.

Today's Goals
- Track everything
- Drink more water
- 15,000 + Steps - I have 8500 so far but it is so hot and sticky today, I am hoping to get back out tonight, my husky is getting stir crazy, so far we have only had a 75min hike today!

Oof. I just finished a long evening walk (plus jog! I did a couple of segments of jogging in between walking for about 4 miles total). Then I dragged myself off the couch to do my planks. Now I’m ready to collapse for the night! I felt the need to make up for delicious cookout lunch 🤷‍♂️ I suspect the scale tomorrow will still be up a bit from my weigh in on Saturday but I’m happy to have some exercise on the ledger. I’m just 3 minutes from my May plank challenge. And the last 3 days I’ve hit 3 miles (not always consecutively in 1 walk, but I’m going to count it for my challenge so that’s 3/5 for the week already!) it seems like I like challenges so... I’m thinking about my next one. Pushups? Pull-ups? Jump rope? I’m open to suggestions. I’m pretty lazy though, so something quick or easy to do while listening to a podcast is my preference (and I welcome podcast suggestions too). OK I’ve said enough! Good night!

May 25. 7476 steps.

Wow I am so impressed with the number of steps most of you log - great job team!

It's PMS week, just got moved into a new house, getting ready for a new routine and new style of living and my exercise has been 🤪 so I saw this coming. Next week will be better!

Ugh. I hate shark Week 🦈. I always have a 2 lb gain during that week and also when I ovulate. Congratulations on the new house! I’ll be doing that myself soon enough. In the meantime we are cleaning out this one and taking things to the dump that we don’t need to move.

Sunday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 28 minute walk
Water:✅

Steps 5/24 7,148

I had a lovely weekend with the grandkids. The youngest stayed for 1 night but the oldest stayed for both. I did tic toc dances, went for a walk, played silly games with the 7 year old and got lots of hugs. It is too quite here today.

Yesterday, we only went for a short walk as it was really hot by the time we went out. Today, I went for my walk shortly after I got up before it got too hot. I walked 5.35 km. It was rough getting going without a cup of coffee.

I am going to log all my meals for the week today. I will make adjustments to the measurements when I cook them. I am going to be consistent with my food scale this week to make sure my calorie count is right.

Today’s goals
1. Walk 5 km ✅
2. Strength video
3. Log weeks food
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Stay within calorie goal

Ahh so pleased you got to enjoy so much time with your granddaughters ❤️ I’m sure you were just over the moon to be able to spend that time with them. Great job keeping up with your walks while enjoying that quality time with them. Good luck on your goals this week 💪🏻

Logging yesterday
DID IT! under
💧
DID IT! 32oz
EXCERCISE
AT WORK BUT, DID IT!

We're adding to our family this week. We're adopting a new fur baby. We are so excited. He's a husky 2 1/2 years old and so beautiful! More excercise for us definitely. Lots of walks and I hope to get back to running soon. 2 furbabies is going to be a lot of work😋😛😜🤪😝but fun!

Nice don’t worry it will surely show at your next weigh in as well! Congrats on your loss! Also congratulations on the new addition! I love huskies and had several as a kid. They are gorgeous animals 🐕. You are gonna have so much more fun walking! Enjoy the puppy training 😂👍🏻

#1 PRIORITY -- Do Laundry for Brother
#2 PRIORITY -- Go to emergency distribution centers to pick up water, food, bedding, PPE, any cleaning supplies available, sanitizer spray for house walls etc, work gloves, 5 gal buckets, etc

The Plan: Do stretches. do laundry. Do yoga. do laundry Do meal prep for lunch & dinner; do dishes. Do 5 min walking program. do laundry


So, in the week since the flood, I've gained 9 lbs. It is what it is. First, stress and anxiety eating while waiting to find out who was next in the evacuation, while worrying about my older brother and his family as they were evacuated early in the process. Then, the major flooding which became a 500-year event., Then the aftermath. Little sleep; lots and lots of grazing from morning to night. Then, the disbelief seeing Sanford completely underwater to the rooflines of all the buildings in town ... more eating. Finally, the cleanup begins ... muck boots, masks, gloves, ... more stress and anxiety eating. Those not affected brought food and drinks -- pizza, fried chicken & potato salad, mega meat subs, lasagna, pop -- several times throughout the days as cleanup occurred. Brother's house was under 5-7 feet of water which means everything had to go unless it could be put in a clothes or dish washer ... right down to the studs on the house. More food, pop, chips ... to keep energy levels high. So the house is now gutted. Heartbreaking to see all their antiques, treasured items mounded on the outlawn. Now, I've got about 20 garbage bags of laundry to do ... so that will keep me at home where I can better control my eating and drinking. Thank God!! So, now, I start again!!

I have been so terrible at checking in over the last few weeks, partially because I have been so unmotivated after not seeing changes on the scale, so am vowing to weigh in every day to get a better idea of my "average" weight which seems to fluctuate a lot day by day.
My most recent weigh-ins were:

Monday May 18 - 172.7
Thursday May 21 - 170.8
Monday May 25 - 174.1

So depressing to see that number on the scale today, though I am sure most is water weight after a weekend of lots of hiking and eating. Hoping to just not lose motivation as I work to get through this terrible plateau.

Do you use a weight trending app? I weigh daily and use happy scale. Water weight is a pain. I am always up after the weekend as I tend to have a few salty treats. Hang in there as the scale will start moving again.

Check-In: Monday, May 25

•Log all food: Nope ❌
•Under Calories: Yes ✔️
•Exercise: 5K run + Zumba ✔️
•Water: 2L ✔️
•Steps: 20,304 ✔️

Good morning team! I’ve got some time to catch up this morning. The scales have come down a little today but got a long way to go to repair the damage made last week.

I’ve completed my 3rd run for this week and yesterday and did 1/3 Zumba classes for the week. I’ve gotten back to my IF but have yet to do an OMAD day. I’ll do one as soon as I’m feeling ready for it.

Today is shopping day for me and also gonna start my cleaning as tomorrow we have two views for the house. One of them is a second visit and one is a first time. Today I am deep cleaning my kitchen getting all that greasy crud off my hood and stove and deep cleaning the cabinets fridge sink oven and all else that needs a good scrub down. Anyone have any good tips on oven cleaning?

My handy guy came by yesterday and took all the junk to take to the dump. What a weight lifted off my shoulders. I’ll start working on doing the same in the garage on Thursday. we will probably have another big load to take to the dump. Fun days.

May goals:

•Log all food. The good the bad and the ugly!
•Stay on or under my allowed calorie goal.
•Do at least 30 minute workout each day.
•Drink at least 2L water each day.
•Reach at least 10,000 steps each day.

I don’t have any tips on oven cleaning as it is one of my least favourite chores. Sounds like you are having a productive week.

That is a lot of stress to deal with. I am glad your family is safe but it is sad to lose so much. I am sure you will get back on track. Prayers for you and your family.
