Sunday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: none
Water: not enough
Steps 2,586 @mari_moulin i want to join the step challenge
I saw a big spike on the scale today. I am pretty sure it is water weight. I had a salad for lunch and I had feta cheese on it. Supper time we had hamburgers and I had pickles. Every time I eat pickles it causes a jump on the scales but I love them. I only eat them with hamburgers now.
I did not get out for my walk cause we ended up visiting the grandkids in their backyard. I am hoping to get them for the weekend next week. I told them we would not be getting as much junk food as the last weekend they were over.
I went out for my walk this morning. I did 5.5 km. I think I need to start getting up at 6am so I can be out for my walk by 7am. I am finding I just can’t get up and go right away.
Have an awesome Monday everyone!2 -

I’m sitting at 303.x after being down to 300.2 on Saturday. I’m still hoping to hit the 200s this week. HOWEVER, I’m also trying to give myself a little bit of a break because I have been on a good track the last few weeks and have dropped a lot of weight. I was surprised to see my name at the top of the list for May weight lost. So. I can’t be too sad with my situation. Although the 200s are calling my name! I also took a bit of a rest day yesterday after 7 days in a row of 3+ miles walk/jogged. The rest day combined with a few bigger than normal tasty meals I’m sure contributed to the bump on the scale. So... back to the grind!
Ok folks let’s do this! Here we come June!
I hope you are feeling better now ❤️ whatever the reasons were for your feeling down I hope they are all better and sorted and that you can start moving forward again with a much more positive energy. You have done so we for your weight loss and deserve to have a little break but be very careful. Those breaks can be a bit tricky. I know that I personally struggle getting myself back from them and tend to cause huge damage in my weight loss when I do it. So a small treat or 1 cheat day and back on top of your journey Josh 💪🏻 also make sure to drink lots of water to help bring that little gain back down. 💦 I’ll try my beat to get more jump rope minutes in today. My legs are feeling sore after all the running Zumba and jumping this past week lol.1 -

I got you down for the step challenge 💪🏻. I also love pickles. My husband doesn’t get why they are a must in burgers tho lol. It must an American thing. The French folk almost never have them. If we go to McDonald’s he always takes out the pickles from his burgers lol. Good going getting your 5K walk in today. 7 am is also my time to go out. I’m always up much earlier but I take my time to wake up and get ready. 7 am I hit the pavement. Hope you have a lovely day ❤️2 -

Thank you I'll need God's luck (or blessings actually) for the jump challenge2 -
I set an alarm and after several leg slaps and a couple breath breaks I jumped rope for 10 minutes. I'm not sure how to monitor total time jumped. I did several counts of 30 with a few at almost 40. My short term goal is to do 60 jumps without a break and then on to 10 minutes non-stop. Eventually I would like to learn double-unders.4

I haven’t done my jumps yet for today but I’m going to do them shortly, I promise!

The day was pretty good, but my mood is still staying a bit down for some reason. Yesterday was a crash day for me. I barely got out of bed. Today I have been active throughout the day but felt a bit sleepy. I'm trying to get my sleep schedule sorted out in preparation for classes in a couple of months. I did not do any work today other than working on my body, mostly because I woke up late cutting out a couple of hours from my day. I will try to be active in the morning as I am donating platelets tomorrow afternoon.5 -
Oof. Did a 4 mile walk followed by 3 minutes of jump rope and 3 minutes of planks. 🥵😴3
