Left the house shortly after lunch yesterday and didn't get home until wee hours of the morning. Dinner was provided at the event. Tried to be careful ... barely squeaked thru just under daily limit. Whew!! Need to buckle down, get eating and exercise back on track ... still want to try to make my July mini goal.
I've somehow lost my mental focus. So I've spent this morning researching "losing focus" ... "staying focused" ... "regaining focus" ... and how focus differs from motivation. Between now and the end of July, I plan to restructure my goals and, hopefully, develop a couple of tools to help stay focused and motivated.
If you have any tips on maintaining focus, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Have a great day Y'All!! 🌞3 -

Pw: 163.7

While the numbers on the scale look great, unfortunately it was due to a drop off on calorie consumption and stress. I had to say goodbye to my dog of 13 years due to a sudden illness. The grief is hard to navigate but I know I will get through it. I also got some concerning test results back on my kidney function that I’m hoping was due to dehydration. I go back to test again this week so I need to get my nutrition back on track. I didn’t log my food for s few days but there wasn’t much to log anyway. I’m hoping Monday is a better day.

Stress can be a detriment to weight loss. We all experience stress for a variety of reasons but we all have our own ways of coping. What helps you mange stress?2 -
JULY SELF CARE CHALLENGE
It’s day 23 of our self care challenge! I truly did not look at this before I picked the question of the day so they are similar. So today define what gives you stress and be conscious of it.

I think every time I lose focus I go back to the basics. I look at why I began this process and what my mindset was at that point. I also like to stay focused on the prize at the end of the journey. Not just a slimmer me but a healthier me. I think restructuring your goals are also a good start. For myself, I am going to make my goals more attainable at the beginning of the August challenge.0 -

I am so sorry on the loss of your furbaby. Allow yourself time to grieve. I hope your test this week comes back ok. Keep us posted on how you are doing.1 -
Sunday’s check in
Calories: over
Exercise: 33 minute walk
Water: ✅
Steps 7/19 8,513
Had a really nice afternoon at my sons yesterday. I love when the family gets together and we missed several family celebrations during lockdown.
I binged again last night. My weight was up almost 4 pounds this morning. I have to get to the bottom of this. I have several theories as to why so I need to eliminate these problems and see what happens. I am off in a bit to get my cortisone shot in my shoulder. I think with less pain in my shoulder it is going to improve my sleep. This may help with the binges. Also, I will be able to go to the gym as I will be able to lift weights.
Have a great day all!
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
2. No step goal today
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Bed by 10:30 pm2
