Calories: under
Exercise: 49 minute walk
Water:✅
Steps: 11,127
Sorry for the late check in today. I had a rough night last due to the pain in my shoulder. My brain is foggy from lack of sleep and coffee didn’t help. I ordered a cbd oil spray the other day and I am hoping this will help. I am going to force myself to get out of my jammies and walk to the postal outlet to pick the package up. The good news is I start physical therapy on Friday. My doctor is back from holidays on Thursday so I am hoping she will try another cortisone shot. Keep your fingers crossed that these things help.
My weight is lower than Friday’s weigh in but I am fighting with light night snacking. I am sticking to my plan all day but come 10pm I am in the kitchen looking for food. I am not that hungry so I got to break this bad habit. I am going to keep trying to break this because as long as I keep trying, I am not failing.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
2. no step goal
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. No late night snacking
5. 72 ounces of water
6. Bed by 11pm
How often do you get the cortisone shots? I’m hoping that you get that pain relief soon and that once you start your physical therapy you can finally find long term relief.
Have you tried brushing your teeth after dinner? That usually deters my cravings as my mouth is all month and makes everything taste funny. Or maybe head to bed early ?0 -

I am also happy for the current activity. There is a lot and I’ve struggled to keep up but it just makes me happy to see so many participating in our team chat. Good luck with your walk workouts today and take a pic of that Mac daddy Salad. I’m curious to see what that looks like. 😋2 -

Wow great progress! Please share your secrets!
Hi Mari Thank you.
Honestly on that week I stuck to 1400 kals and had carbs only on 2 days. I guess it is the excess water from all the sugary things I had been stuffing my body with.
And I do home workouts.
I will say Secret is beginner's luck😅2 -
I thought I was a Monday weigh it. What is the exact protocol to post weight? I know it is 232.4, but I don't know if I'm supposed to look for a thread since the spreadsheet is view only. I'm still learning how to navigate through the forum. Thank goodness for starring key discussions.lindamtuck2018 wrote: »

Do you prefer to workout at home or at a gym and why?
I definitely prefer to workout at home. My hours at work are crazy and being able to get up early to workout is awesome. Simply get dressed and head to the basement. While it is great to workout with others, I love the flexibility of my home gym. Between Beachbody workout programs, programs on the Peloton app, as well as the Peloton bike, and my own treadmill, for me, there is no need to go to the gym. When I want something different, I'll head outside for a walk or jog, or even ride my bike 😎2 -

You do got this! I also love food way too much. It is good you are specific in your goal. You may want to ensure the days you do go over, it is not enough to ruin your deficit. I love my treats on weekends so for the most part I am careful Sunday to Thursday and the I fit those treats in on the weekend. I also work on a calorie average so my actual calorie goal is an average of the entire week.1 -

I don't remember if I posted yesterdays stats, couldn't find it (Track, Calories, and Exercise, and steps) (No) just wasn't feeling up to it.
Tuesday 8/4/20
Tracked: Yes
Calories: Yes (under)
Exercise:. Yes
Steps: 1,000 steps. ( below)
Water: 67 fl oz
Ordered a tracker watch, that goes on your wrist. (Tracks steps, your pulse rate, and blood pressure). Will be a lot easier to keep track of how far I walked.

August 4 steps

August 3: 8,110 steps
But I did do a 30 minute exercise class at the gym in addition to my steps. Went back upstairs to finish up but all the cardio machines were taken and my feet were already blistered from my shoes. (They're new) Soooo better luck tomorrow. I also feel like my body is kinda asking for a break, so going to call it a night early and recover!
Hope everyone had a great day!1 -
