Didn't do any intentional walking today. Went shopping for 1 1/2 hours with my mom thru Hobby Lobby while wearing a mask and social distancing.
Was just really run down today. Will lift weights and walk tomorrow. As long as I get 3 weight sessions in this week I am not worried and I already have 2 completed. Called hospital to find out if I would be able to receive medical updates on boyfriend's condition. She said only immediate family so called bf to verify. He said no, I am supposed to be updated so not sure what to believe. Really wanted to comfort myself with food but added up my calories and got a large glass of water instead.
You have so much in your life right now. I'm glad you are able to let yourself take a rest when you need it. I continue to wish your boyfriend a strong recovery.3 -

I am struggling with the fat ... (use to be keto ...so I am over once again ...In January I have decided to go back on IF and I will be doing the 30 day shred and walking (if not too sore) ...something has to give ..I am beyond frustrated ...I will not give up but damn I do feel like it ....I am not sure what is going on ... I measure everything with a food scale but yet I am gaining
Off to go walk with Aspen
Each day when I see the amount of exercise you are doing, I am astounded. I would totally be frustrated, too. I don't know why, but when I have a big day of exercise, I either gain or stay the same, too. Sending big hugs your way -Patti2 -

Happy Thursday all!
So I did do my workout this morning, but I kept having to take, uh, "breaks" because my tummy was giving me problems. I have no idea what that was about- I did read about having issues like that when you're not moving around much and then do rigorous exercise.... maybe I really am not a morning person after all!! Either way, I stayed majorly hydrated today, and had a couple of lighter meals. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow!
Today the dentist went well, all done and dusted! I was meant to go to a friend's place to pick up my application forms for Uni (my printer doesn't work) but she cancelled because of something going on with her. I'm disappointed but that's ok. If we can't get together in the next day or 2 I'm just going to pay by credit card. I'm reluctant to do that because of principle- they want to charge a 2% "convenience fee". Interac is a thing but not with my bank and not with my wife's credit union either! Even though both do have interac enabled. Apparently you have to be with either TD or RBC which is silly! Anyway- it will get sorted either way- I have a whole week. But I want it done and dusted by monday at the latest.
I rested a lot today- just because I felt so rough. I had a cheeky look at the scales and they are up a lb.... that was before the exercise this morning so maybe my body is just being annoying. I hope to see a lower number when it's official weigh in day next Tuesday. It's only Thursday but I like to project lol
Tomorrow I am going to do a to-do list for things I want to get done before I have to go back to work next Saturday. 9 days is a long time but they will fly by I know it!!
Ugh all of this talk about the dentist - I had a crown fall off and I'm trying to wait until January to get it fixed when I will have dental insurance. It hasn't been a problem, yet so I expect it will be fine. I totally get not wanting to use the CC for the "principle". Do you remember the good ol' days when there were concerts? It always irked me to be charged so many fees that ended up almost being more than the tickets!
Enjoy your 9 days.1 -

So I have been feeling under the weather the past week. My son tested positive for Covid, so I went and got tested today. I really figured this is just my normal sinus issues I get every year when the furnace goes on for the season, but it does seem to be a bit different then normal.. however I still can taste and smell, so who knows.
I hope your son recovers quickly and that you don't have it!1 -

Check-in for 12/2
Check in daily: ✅
Water (90oz):✅
Steps (9K):✅
Macros (P-105/ C-115/ F-40):❌✅✅
Fiber (28g):❌
Strength train (2x):✅❔
I was a little high on protein but under calories for the day which I am ok with. Fiber was low ... I need to find a low carb source of fiber. I didn’t eat past 6:30 last night and the scale was better today
I did not get to read my book last night because I went to read it in bed I found the battery was DEAD thanks to my daughter. I did not have a charger upstairs, so I just went to sleep. I will catch up today.
My dietitian recommended bran buds cereal for fibre.Beautyofdreams wrote: »In bed by 10:30pm

Get lots of rest and I hope you can get it sorted out with getting information on your boyfriend.littleflutterby wrote: »3rd December

Exercise 38min dance video
So I found another channel called popsugar, these ones did not thrill me very much. I turned off the first one I tried because I literally could not follow along at all. The second one was ok and I completed it, but not really my style. I'll keep looking!
Fitness Marshall was suggested to me along time ago. It might be worth checking it out.1 -

Thank you Linda
@lindamtuck2018 I'm tall at 5'10" so it's very easy for me to gain a lot of weight/water weight at once. I'm trying to get back down to goal by February/March.
Hope you have a great day.1 -

Thursday’s check in
Calories: over
Water:✅
Steps: 4,465
Sleep: ✅
DBF: 0
PW 216.4
CW 216.4
LTD 46.4
I didn’t gain so that’s a good thing. I think continued focus on binge eating, improved sleep and reducing stress will get me back to where I can focus on weight loss.
I am soon going to head out for a short walk. I am going to aim for 15 minutes.
Happy FriYAY

I am happy for a loss ... but the only reason I lost was because I barely ate 1200 calories yesterday ... I was definitely not hungry yesterday ... I had a salad for lunch and a bacon sandwich for dinner and my ice coffee after dinner ....
