    Ugh... missed the check in again yesterday!
    Goals:
    1. Log all food and stay under calories goal for the day
    2. Keep calories goal + exercise calories capped at 1700 for each day

    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!

    PW: 165.1
    CW: 163.9
    LTD: 5 lbs

    Well done on the loss! Watch the calorie count between different brands of bacon. The difference between the two brands I have bought for 2 slices is a 100 calories.

    So, overdid the outside work Sat & Sunday. Really started hurting by mid-afternoon Sunday. Took some pills, put on icepacks, went to bed. Barely able to move today ... everything hurts ... especially hips and lower back. Thought I was being careful but guess I overdid it. I swear, even my hair hurts today. So, no tasks, no steps, etc for a day or two. You'd think at my age ....................

    Sorry you are so sore! Take it easy for a few days and let us know how you feel tomorrow.

    I just got back from the gym, I’m about to do my Team FC then hop in the shower. Got some groceries to pick up and I MUST start getting my basement sorted out for our move. Have a wonderful Tuesday team!

    •Do at least 30 minute workout each day.

    •Water: 2,750 L ✅
    •Steps: 14,574 ✅
    •Self-Care: i did not do a virtual class as I already have a lot of daily workouts but I did grab my kids and headed off to the public pool for 2 hours. It was nice to just float around and watch the kids play. ✅

    Happy Hump Day teammates 🐪!!

    I was not in the mood to go to the gym this morning but I still managed to get myself out of bed and hit the pavement for a 5 k run. Today I had my best Pace yet! I hadn’t done a 5K in weeks and I honestly wasn’t sure how well I would do. Surprised myself by breaking my own record 🥳

    Now I’ve had my shower and breakfast and I’m going to head out to the new house as we’ve got someone coming to Measure out our closets in order to put in our shelves drawers etc. Then gonna take the little one to the store so he can get some pool toys. He had such a great time yesterday at the public pool that he cannot wait to go back. Might go again this evening or tomorrow 🏊
