Friday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 50 minutes total walking
Water: ✅
Steps: 6,536
DBF: 2
I know the 50 minutes walking looks pretty good but it is deceiving as I am walking so much slower now. But I walked so that is good. I am going to dig out my cane this weekend and see if it will help when I walk a longer distance. I was down a pound this morning. Should have weighed in this morning. 😝
I am trying to be within my calories this weekend as I know Monday I will be over. We are having a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. For dessert we are having pumpkin cheesecake. I will stick to one piece. Thanksgiving will be different this year as my son won’t be there. My mom usually comes from Newfoundland every year also but with Covid she is not comfortable travelling. She already had Covid but there have been instances of people getting twice.
I am off grocery shopping and depending on how my leg feels I will do some walking later.
Have a great day!
Goals this week
1. No binge eating/late night snacking

Got to go on my walk by myself again so that was nice. Clear my head in the middle of the day. Got good news on my great uncle yesterday. He started breathing more on his own and they took him off the vent last night. He's starting to recover.
Going camping today with my parents, not sure if I'll get an actual walk in. Will try to pay attention to my steps and not just sit.3 -

Thank you! @lindamtuck2018, I think it's important for me to stay where I have some support and encouragement. Not just directly, but through the comments of others on their own journey both highs & lows of what their going through. Thank you again Linda ❤️ it has been a tough week.
I agree treats during the holidays are hard to resist. But, what will help me to resist some, is no one around to make any of the yummy food. So temptation will be limited to store bought yummies. Because, I don't make treats my self. 😸2 -

Another great day while the kids were in school, completed morning work out and met old friends for. Trail walk nearby that I had never been to. It was supposed to be a 3 miles loop but we got mixed up and ended up walking about 5 miles. Spent the rest of the day getting ready for friends to visit for the weekend. Treated myself to a couple of glasses of wine after all my steps.3 -

WHAT A DAY! Work was okay...we were actually kinda slow so I came home with only 7,500 steps. Not to fret! Put the kids to bed and hung out for a bit but by 945 I was out getting the rest of my steps in. I picked up an extra shift tomorrow (Today was an extra shift also) so I do not have any days off until the 19th. So I am TIREDDDD! Didn't have clean scrubs for tomorrow (or the next day! lol) So I also got some laundry done as well.
Final step count for 10/10: 11, 089
Ya'll have a good rest of your night and I'll check in with ya'll tomorrow!1 -

Hi all
Sorry I was silent all week.
My phone got damaged and that is what I use to log in and post regularly
I have trouble using mfp on my tablet
My weight for this week is 241.9. It is still a roller-coaster for me and I seem t have no will power to get things under control.
I won't be very active till I get a new smart phone but will try to come in every Tuesday to update my weight and check on everyone.
Have a blessed new week and congrats to all who stuck to their plans

I never make treats myself as I am a terrible baker. It’s funny as I am a good cook.iHUSTLE4MUSCLE wrote: »iHUSTLE4MUSCLE

It’s a small gain and you are back on track. Next week I suspect you will lose that plus some.

It is really hard to get off the roller coaster. Take it one day at a time. Some of the things that cause me to get in trouble are not enough sleep, stress and not getting enough calories during the day. So try and identify situations that cause you to lose control. Look at ways you can minimize these situations. I wish you the best this week.Username: piqueaboo

I went slightly over yesterday. Overall, I think I did pretty good. I had trouble sleeping last night and I ended up eating a dinner roll which put me over. The good part of this is I did not binge. When having a binge I would have ate all the rolls and a lot more. It was a little easier with the Saturday eating as the grandkids aren’t coming until today and hubby really cut back on his treats. Told you I was going to put my foot down. 😂 I bought the girls no junk yesterday and they are going to eat what I cook for supper. No takeout! I have done three 5 minute walks so far. I am going to go for a short walk soon. It is sunny and cool out. Perfect walking weather again!
Have a beautiful Sunday!
Goals this week
