First note is I have not been meeting my bike riding goals. My schedule is about to open up quite a bit though, so i really want to make the effort to re-form a new good riding habit...

I made a super loco yummy taco pizza yesterday. It started as making dough for cinnamon rolls for bfast (special treat for Jamey/partner) but we were hanging out and forgot about it so the dough rose for way too long. Made a perfect pizza crust though. Anyway it was so delicious and I truly can't believe I stayed under on calories yesterday. Old me would have eaten that whole thing 😆 I ate enough to feel satisfied and enjoy it, and I said I could have more later if I wanted it, then i had to teach from 6-12 midnight. And of course when I finished i kinda wanted another slice but I decided I would enjoy it more for breakfast today 💚💜💙 so yayy taco pizza for breakfast haha

Anyway I only had 3 classes scheduled for this morning, spread out from 9am-2:30pm (usually it's like 6 classes) so I was a bad girl and rescheduled the two earlier classes.

I plan to have a nice super chill morning, teach for an hour, take a bike ride, do my new strength training challenge (woot!), sunset walk, leftover veg soup for dinner, then of course teaching all night. I should have a good under calories day so long as sitting in front of the computer for 7 hours tonight doesn't detail me 🙃

Have a great Saturday chicas!! 🌈✨✨

I’ve been feeling very discouraged, because I have been walking at least a mile every day (which I never did before this) and entering calories everyday, but I’ve only lost 2 pounds in 30 days ☹️
I will keep at it though. Some loss is better than a gain.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Thank you, 3greyH and all of you, for introducing me to this group! I appreciate this opportunity for daily accountability. I get frustrated when I do everything right and don't lose weight (though, I think we all know that we'd see it on the scale in a few weeks). My body seems to be on a 2- or 3-week lag time, vs what I'm eating. Currently on track for calories and walked the dog in the woods for an hour today, and will get on the treadmill for another more cardio-ish walk later tonight. Definitely motivational to hear, on this cold rainy dark day, that the hot chocolate I met a friend for, this morning, was probably 380 calories. Soooo not worth it. I'll remember this, next time.

@GabiV125 it sounds like you really worked up an appetite! Excellent walking And even though you ate back your exercise calories, you still LOST SOME WEIGHT today! You were under your TDEE Maybe it wasn't as much as you had hoped, but you certainly didn't gain today. You're doing great!
