    Tracked: Yes

    Exercise: Yes
    Steps: 9524
    Water: 128 oz

    It feels good to be back on track. I was pretty hungry all day but I know that's just from eating like crap for the last week so I ignored it and followed the eating schedule I was previously used to. I heard a saying a little while back that I said to myself a couple times yesterday. 'Hunger is not an emergency' Went for a nice walk last night and it felt great. It seems like it got dark a little earlier than it had been though so I suppose sundown is gonna start getting earlier. Might have to try and find a different time to walk, it's just been so hot during the day lately though.

    I need to put that on repeat in my head lately. I do IF but I have been so hungry in the mornings this week.

    Tuesday’s check in
    Calories: under
    Exercise: 22 minute walk
    Water:✅
    Steps: 6,112
    DBF: 8

    Wednesday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: none
    Water:✅
    Steps: 1,667
    DBF: 9

    I don’t know what happened to the check in I typed yesterday as I know I did post it but it is not to be found. I went slightly over on my calories yesterday. I was really hungry and I ended up about 150 calories over for the day. Had I got my steps in I would have had a Fitbit calorie adjustment to accommodate being extra hungry.



    Daily goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes daily
    2. 9000 steps daily
    3. No late night snacking/binge eating

    Decided to go out walking last night even though it was late by the time I got the kids to bed. Don't really like walking in the dark, but it was a nice walk regardless. Ended up being 53 minutes.

    Oh how nice it is to no longer be sick :) I still will not push my luck on working out so I have decided to give it another week or two ...... I just figured out that I do not need zoom to participate in this stupid child support court on Monday ...I do not want to video chat ... I do not want him seeing me or my daughter and I definitely do not want to see him so it will be audio only on my end

    Thank you for the add. My name is Andrea and I turned 49 in May. When the first day of May hit, I weighed myself for the first time since quarantine started and was shocked that the scale crept up to 207. That is my highest weight ever 😱 So, I decided then that I want to lose 50 lbs by my 50th birthday. I found a board dedicated to lose 50lbs and that has helped me stay focused. Through that board I met @Beka369 who told me about this wonderful group. I am super excited get started!

    QOTD: I jump on MFP and check the boards. It reminds me what I am trying to accomplish.
