    Weigh-in Day: Wednesday
    Weigh-in week: 4
    Starting Weight: 229.0
    Previous weight: 213.6
    Current weight: 210.4

    I won my dietbet!!! And for the past 66 days of logging my weight, I’m down 21.2 pounds! I’ve been so caught up in daily weigh-ins that I didn’t realize that I actually passed my first goal, which was to have less than 100lbs to lose. 🎉 I’m a happy camper today.

    Catching up with my steps, I think I owe from Sunday.
    6/21: 12,706
    6/22: 10,621
    6/23: 10,660
    6/24: 4,283

    Today I started doing some weight training and it got up to 88 degrees outside so I just didn’t have it in me to get all of my steps in. I’ll be back at it tomorrow!

    Got your steps in. I hope you are feeling better today Linda. Sometimes we just gotta take a step back, slow down, and just do they best we can with how our body is feeling. I hope you were able to rest a bit.

    Got your steps in! WOW! I dont know how you do it 😳 Be very careful with that heat. Not good if it’s making you pass out. Are you in direct sunlight? Lots of water, wear a cap, take breaks in the shade whenever possible and light cool clothing.

    Make sure you stay well hydrated in the heat. Be careful as we don’t want you passing out. Those steps are impressive!

    Since I was on a walking route delivering mail I was in direct sunlight all day. I had a lot of water and Gatorade. I learned a few things from it about handling overheating. I also talked with my safety and union representative about my options.

    Could the pasta you had the other night cause a bump in the scale? I know with myself, if I eat pasta it takes a few days for the scales to go down.

    Wednesday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 17 minute walk
    Water: ✅

    Steps 7,903

    Yesterday was a pretty lazy day for me. I did get out and walk a quick loop near my place. I slept like a log last night and even woke up 40 minutes later than usual. I was shocked when I look at the clock. I was pretty tired when I went to bed so that may have been a factor.

    It was cooler this morning and I went for a walk about an hour after I woke up. The humidity is starting back up this afternoon and we are in for some brutal heat the next week. Glad we have air conditioning.

    My granddaughters are sleeping over again tomorrow night. I have set a precedent of ordering takeout every time they come over since the pandemic. I have to stop this as they are coming over often now. I am getting them pizza tomorrow night. Pizza is a trigger food for me but I have to learn how to mange being in those situations.

    Have a great Thursday all!

    Today’s goals
    1. Stay within calorie goal
    2. Drink 8 cups of water
    3. Walk 45 minutes ✅
    4. Bed by 10 pm

    Have you tried the 2-ingredient pizza dough? It uses 0-fat greek yogurt and flour. Top that with red sauce, low fat mozzarella, onion, mushrooms and turkey pepperoni and you have a great alternative to take out pizza. Easy to make and might be a fun activity depending on the kiddos ages. I was craving pizza and didn't want to take the hit of take out calories so I was glad I found this option.

    This sounds like a great idea! I am going to get the ingredients to make this the next time they come over.
