@micki48 I would like to start posting my steps daily, as well as my workouts, and a note about eating to provide myself some more accountability. When I go back to work in 2 weeks, I know it is going to be challenging so I want to create some positive habits now. Is that ok?

@KellyBgetsfit That is absolutely fine. Thank you for letting me know. I understand returning to work will be a challenge, so that sounds like a very good plan to keep you on track. Great stepping this week, Kelly.

Also what great progress you have made for your health. All good things. While I totally get wanting those pounds to fly off, losing slowly actually is a good thing from everything I've read and experienced. When I was younger around 30, I lost 50 pounds in 4 months, kept it off for about 5 months, then it started creeping back on until I "found" it all again. Now, at 56, I have lost very slowly, 30 pounds in a year and a half, but like you said being lower at the end of the year is the goal. Keep it up. We are all in this together.

Thanks for the steps so far friends. Missing the following:

@YinxFed missing 7/12 Could you repost if I missed it? or was that a rest day?
@jguldi11 and @evangsimmons170 all week (You are not late, just giving a reminder)
@jugar 7/16, 7/17, 7/18 - I see the totals back. Thanks for fixing that. Also, I don't think Yinka's exercise got entered the last few days of the week, but it was marked "insightful."

Hello!

Sundays are always rest days for me - so I had no exercise to record for 12th July.

Sorry for the delay.

@yinxfed Congrats on finally getting that scale moving. Hope you are still doing your workout program and didn't have to abandon it!

Eating - I didn't have enough calories and ended up eating what I made my kids for dinner.

@conleywoods I don't think I am sensitive to alcohol. I haven't noticed a change in the scale when I drink versus don't. It's more about consuming less calories and overall health. I also cut milk out of my coffee and drink it black now.

I've been taking magnesium supplements for 2 weeks and I gotta say, my stomach hasn't felt this normal in a year. I've hardly any pain.

I couldn't say why, but they do say magnesium is good for reducing inflammation so maybe that's it. Hasn't helped my chocolate cravings much, sadly. I'm just too much of a chocoholic it seems.

But, on that note, we're thinking about a weekly chocolate pancake dinner at IHOP. Since they're so good, and since we feel like we should be plugging money back into the economy as much as we can. Especially restaurants, they're hard hit. Our favorite one just closed permanently.
