So sorry you are having back pains. My DIL has a lot of back pain, and needs surgery, which to me sounds so scary. She had surgery 10 yrs ago, but needs it again. I hope you start to feel better soon. I'd be like you .. walking is not only exercise for me but my therapy time!1 -
As I suspected, I gained weight instead of lost
All I can do is move on and make this week better than the last. Bf and I haven't finished my motivation board yet anyway, so I guess I'm officially starting THIS week.
I changed my timezone on MFP so that (hopefully) the day will roll over around 2-3 AM instead of midnight, and edited my meals to time ranges to make it easier for me. I'm going to try not to eat after 3:30/4 AM to give my body time to digest and burn off my last meal before I go to bed.
I'm hoping these little changes will make it easier for me to track and I'll start seeing the weight come off.
I hope you all have a great week.4 -

Hang in there, folks. It's been a hard year, and we are doing as well as can be expected in these trying times.
Give yourself a little loving.

Mixed day with some positives
For Monday, keep the focus on doing the right things. Trust the long haul.
1900 calories: 1935. Knew I was going over but stopped before true damage was done
Work out for 80 minutes, find the time: 38 minutes. Chose not to walk with the excuse of the chilly weather.
Make good choices: Made good choices on food. Need to at least start an exercise walk and then decide it’s cold
Support my bride: Easy to do but need to knock out a request today
Eat dinner at the table, unplugged. Don’t snack on the couch: Done and done

Weather is definitely feeling late fall. Temp was 27F (-3C) when I left house with dog this morning. Even wearing winter walking pants, my legs got chilled. Need to get out all the winter layers for walking dog. Too cloudy to see any stars. With clocks falling back an hour this weekend, won't be as dark on early walks for little while. Still, I ordered a Noxgear lighted vest to replace my old rechargeable vest since one side has a broken wire & doesn't light anymore.

Admin someJust for today I will not give up.
I feel just like this too. I don't want to log today, but I will not give up, I will still eat well.
Yesterday I wanted to eat everything in sight after my back appointment. Then I didn't know what I wanted as I don't really have "treats" in the house, so picked on things. Wasted calories.
Today I will not give up.
