Have had a good week, rode my bicycle 6 out of 7 rides. Stuck to eating cleanly, my carbs were only vegetables and berries. Scale finally moved down a bit, need to get back into my range before winter weather begins (late October up here!). Going back to the city for most of this week, will need to work hard to stay focused when my food choices become vast and tempting!2

Naturally, as soon as i started this challenge a few days ago, I threw my back out. l knew the second I did it...not using my legs to pick up a heavy bag. Arrrrgh!
Still, I have learned a lot of tricks to minimize the fall out, and I'm still going forward with counting steps, just taking a lot of breaks and not focusing on duration, just doing something is good enough.
Everything counts! I'm feeling committed and easing back in to moving my body...right off the couch...as often as possible. Even if it's just walking around in the house. It still counts.
argh! That stinks. I hope it heals up soon. Back injuries are awful. I've had my share unfortunately so I feel you. Do whatever you can.

Paying attention to weight goals. Prioritizing this & my general health.
- Used a sleep tracker for the first time last night.
- completed 16 hour fast this morning.
- weighed this morning, have lost about a pound, not weighing every day tho
- got creative with exercise today doing hand weights, stretching & air cycling on back on floor because it's supposed to be 97 degrees today
- got bicycle seat raised 1" so it's more comfortable to use
- consistently logging food/exercise for the past 7 days

IF 👎ate a cookie with coffee first thing
Calorie/carb goal - both were too high for the day. I want hungry for dinner but hubs was so we ordered take out. While I ate carnivore, I still felt stuffed because I didn’t listen to my body. It was dinner time so you eat, right??? Dumb.
Close watch rings👍🏻 Cut it close but closed them all out with 16k steps to boot.1 -

Logged all my food, stayed under calories for the weekend.
protein - 113g, 142g
carbs - 107g, 130g net
Stayed active all weekend, logged 6k steps each day, rebuilt part of the fence on Saturday where the dogs had torn it up, did the weekly shopping on Sunday.1 -
Yesterday I made breakfast (avo, egg, fake-cheese & turkey-jerky) last all day, with coffee, added a salad for dinner and came in at really good levels and low calories.
And my weight dropped from 182 to 180.
Desperation to stay healthy can be a great motivator.

IF ✅
Calories/carb goal: a bit high on carbs due to salad and nuts but not terrible. Ate at maintenance so had I not under eaten earlier in the day I likely would not have snacked after dinner. Oh and had a small glass of wine...
Close watch rings ✅ ended up with about 14k steps plus strength for the day. Movement is improving where last month I wasn’t so focused.3 -
