Now my weigh in:
305.8 lbs for 6/13
It’s been a rough week and a half. Not that I couldn’t have done a better job, but here’s why I’m struggling. The temperature was ugly. Consistently in the 90s (F) and humid. So my energy to go walking in the evening has completely tanked. Some things have also started to open up from the coronavirus but NOT the gym which means I can’t swim or work out in the comfort of the air conditioning. But I can get frozen ice cream and pizza! I did go for a few long walks, but I felt so sluggish after that I just wanted to lounge around and eat snacks and drink lemonade. And today to top it off I went for a long drive (to visit family) which means I was driving in the car and eating fast food. 😱
I’m planning to start working out again this week and logging all my food. But I don’t feel like it right now.
I am sorry you have had a rough time. Heat and humidity is the worst. Before I got sick I was working on getting up early in the mornings and doing my walk first thing. I don’t know if this is possible for you. I know here we are soon get in to days where the humidity doesn’t break at night so I will be just making sure I get lots of indoor walks. Maybe with the treats you can set aside one day to have pizza. I do that with my potato chips and I look forward to it all week. Keep trying everyday and you will get your drive back.1 -

Saturday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 41 minute walk
Water: not enough
Steps 6/13 14,647
Yesterday is the first Saturday in awhile that I stayed under calories. My weight is up .4 of a pound but I had a lot of sodium on Friday. My eating today will not be the best. We are having a bbq at my daughters for my birthday. My son will be there too. They have opened up social bubbles here so you can create a bubble of 10 people you can gather with without social distancing. I haven’t seen my son since this started. My daughter is making me chocolate cheesecake. Cheesecake is my favourite and she is a very good baker.
Yesterday I got myself a ticket to Scotland. I am going in October for 2 weeks for my youngest granddaughters 1st birthday. Hopefully, we will be able to travel by then. If not I can change the tickets to a different date.
I plan on a 30 minute walk today. My oldest granddaughter stayed over last night so I am going to see if she wants to come along.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes
2. Don’t go crazy on the food today
3. Drink 8 cups of water
4. Bed by 10 pm3 -

I know my eating is to blame for being up. We celebrated hubby's birthday yesterday but truly I wasn't good much of the week. Busy week and I didn't manage to log everything and ate too much sugar.1 -

Check-In: Sunday, June 14
•Log all food: No ❌
•Under Calories: No ❌
•Exercise: Sunday Funday Walk ✅
•Water: 2L ✅
•Steps: 15,023 ✅
It’s a new Week Teammates. Fingers crossed the app is less glitchy this week and we get to hear more from you all as the week progresses.
I had a nice weekend but did quite a bit of eating and not much calorie counting. We were once again invited to a friends house for lunch on Sunday where we once again ate Moroccan food. We are out of the same dish so I was unable to accurately see how much food I ate myself. I do know that I made an effort to eat less than last week because I hate feeling that full.
This morning I got myself back to the gym and I also have Zumba class tonight. I hope that today I can burn off all this extra calories I had over the weekend. I wish you all a kick *kitten* week! 💪🏻❤️👍🏻
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.1 -

I added your steps in. Hope you manage to get another Fitbit or that you can get yours repaired. It should have some kind of warranty on it.michelleywardell wrote: »I'm up a little.. im in a bounce right now.. back and forth with 180 and 182. Not drinking enough water.

Life happens and sometimes the journey gets put on hold for a moment. You just have to make sure you come right back on it and kick butt. Half a pound is awesome considering you celebrated a birthday !Marigorringo wrote: »Steps: 13 June 9.362 steps

I have you down a pound since you weighed in last so well done. I had to get a new Fitbit last weekend as mine died. I hope your hay fever feels better this week.1 -

Hang in there it will come down! Drinking water is tough. I try to keep a full water bottle near me at all times. Most days this helps.1 -

You have had some big losses the last two weeks. I wouldn’t worry too much about the .5 pound. You will do great this week.1 -
