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.1 -

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.1 -

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 🏊

Tuesday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: none
Water: ✅
Steps 7/7 6,061
I am feeling much better today. I hate bad headaches as they ruin a good part of the day. I got up real early this morning as I had to drive Garry to work. Our car is getting fixed today. I hope it gets done early as I would like to get my passport application started. I also got my walk done early.
My weight spiked up again this morning. I expected a spike yesterday due to going over calories on Monday night but I thought it would start coming down today. I am 5.6 pounds heavier than I was 2 weeks ago. My average calories are still within my calorie range and I am pretty good about weighing my food, so I should be losing. Darn scale!
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum ✅
2. 10,000 steps
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Bed by 10:30 pm1 -

I’m happy to see you are feeling better today and that you are able to get all your errands done without having to deal with it. I’m the same with the scale GF. It’s all over the place for awhile to the point where I’m questioning if my scale is messed up. Today I am a whole 4 lbs lighter than yesterday?! I honestly done understand what’s happening with my body if my scale is fine. I gain and lose such huge amounts over and over without the same week. It’s absolutely nuts. I wish I didn’t let the darn scale bother me so much but it really can make or break my day.
