But I have upped my water intake and steps to 32203 for the week.
Sunday I stayed under calories
Logged all food good & bad
Drank plenty of water.
Steps for today 5590.
Aims this week
Eat better
Dont forget food for work!!!
Log all food
Drink the water
Try and get my steps up.
Well done to everyone for the past week.
Keep on thinking happy thoughts ❤❤❤
You have some great positive successes in your week. You got this week!1 -

Had such a lovely Sunday but had way too many treats. Made a chocolate cake and blueberry muffins as we had snack time with my neighbor and her kids. Also made some limeade and needless to say I lost count of how much I ate and drank. The scale is reflecting it this morning. It’s ok I’ll get it back down!
I just finished my workout and team challenge and about to hot the shower.
Have a wonderful start to your week team!

Yesterday was a bust in regards to steps and my walk. Today I will succeed. I have done my walk already. I am sitting at 4,935 steps right now so I have a little work to do to get to 10,000.
Not much planned for today. I am going to walk to the store to return a skort I bought yesterday. It was too big. I am making one of my most favourite casseroles for supper. It is high in calories but I will watch my portion size. I only make it a few times a year for this reason.

I added bacon back into my breakfast rotation. I never looked at the calories for 2 slices and assumed that it would be way more. Happy!

It’s important to listen to your body. Last thing you want is a serious injury that will take you out for weeks. Rest yourself up and you will come back even stronger. ❤️Marigorringo wrote: »Steps sunday 5 10.421 steps
