    Can I please change my day to Saturday? I keep being late because I head off to work Friday without remembering to step on the scale. Yeeshk.

    I’m sorry for my absence these past few days team. I’m allowed myself to go back into my black hole and went back to comfort eating. I’ve had a difficult week with lots of stress, emotions, and pain pretty much everywhere. I hate when I get like this. If we like I lose complete control of my daily life when I’m like this. The weather here has drastically changed Ofer the past week from sunshine to cold and rain and my joints get so bad when the weather changes like this. I’m also dealing with house stuff and school for the kids and on top of that my mom is constantly on my mind as Mother’s Day is tomorrow here in France. Anyways. I’m trying to get myself back out now. Now that the gym is open I will start going back on Monday for my 4 sessions a week. I will also continue doing my Zumba classes and do my beat to log my food and drink my water. I have to get plover this bump.

    June 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.

    The important thing is that here you are, back and planning what you are going to do. Setting goals and everything. It's ok to have some not-that-good days. We come back stronger and with more motivation. Sometimes even a pinch of being angry helps to move more.
    I like the sun but I looove the rain. One of my favourite things to do when it's raining is going to the garden, sit in a chair with comfortable clothes, barefoot in the grass, face up to the sky with my eyes closed and enjoy the rain. I hear the noise of the birds, the raindrops, the nature and I feel the different textures of the rain and the grass between my toes ... and that's paradise

    I am thrilled with my weight loss! This is the 3rd week in a row that I lost and it’s been awhile since I been able to do that. I am sure I can reach onderland by the end of the month.

    So far today I have walked for 5 minutes on the hour since I got up. I am going to try and accomplish that today. I can’t do more as I get wheezy doing that.

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 5 minutes every hour until hubby gets home
    2. Drink 8 cups of water
    3. Stay within calorie goal

    What an amazing loss this week Linda!! You are so so close to ONEDERLAND! At this rate I am sure you will be there next week!

    Knee is feeling better but still no jumping or knee sleeves. If you happen to know where I left them just message me. Thanks ahead of time.

    I’m sorry to see you’ve been struggling with the knees. I hope it starts getting better real soon and that you can get back to your jumping around 💪🏻

    Friday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 15 minute walk
    Water: not enough

    Steps 6/5 9,818

    I walked every hour for 5 minutes expect once I walked for 15 minutes. I am going to do the same again today. I didn’t sleep well last night so I am probably going to want to nap today which could mean I might not get as much done as yesterday.

    Hubby is gone grocery shopping by himself. I hope he gets everything on the list or I will be scrambling to adjust my menu for the week. I always plan our weeks meals a week at a time. When I didn’t do that I found I ended up getting takeout more often than I like.

    Have a great weekend!

    Today’s goals
    1. Stay within calories
    2. Walk 5 minutes every hour with one 15 minute walk
    3. Drink 8 cups of water

    What an abysmal, rainy day. I sat working for far too long and I didn’t get up and move the two times it did stop raining. Thank God today the sun is shining, the birds are singing!
    You are not up a lot. Check your sodium intake and see if it is water weight.
    Linda, you were absolutely right. Last Friday I had Red Lobster and on Saturday I had pizza. While I stayed in my calories, the salt was sky high. It’s taken a week to flush it out of my system but I’m down even lower now. Thanks for the support! 💕

    My scale decided to bite the dust yesterday and kept giving me error messages and never the same number twice so I replaced it yesterday afternoon, the weigh in number is from the new scale this morning, I like the number but not entirely convinced I dropped 4 lbs over the week, I think the old scale was incorrect, but I will take it!

    Happy Sunday Team. It’s French Mother’s Day so It may be a hard one for me. I never got to Zumba yesterday as my joints are still pretty bad. I spoke to the Zumba instructor and he said to stay home and rest. 😔 I’ve got a brace on my right hand as I can’t even move it at this point. I can’t wait for the sun to come back.

    Today we’ve been invited to a friends house for Mother’s Day lunch. She is making Moroccan couscous and usually meals with her family are pretty big. I think that if I feel I’ve gone over at lunch I will skip out on dinner. I’ve had a nice peaceful breakfast this morning and I plan on doing a little jumping in a few. If my pain is too bad I’ll just do a walk like yesterday.

    Wishing you all a wonderful blessed Sunday.
