I didn't get as many steps as I would have liked last week but have continued to track everything and mainly staying within my calories, very glad to see a loss it has definitely given me a much needed boost. It is my husbands birthday on Saturday and i plan to enjoy it with him, im giving myself an extra 500 calories for a treat with him6 -
Just popping in to say hello!
Today is Wednesday, February 24th... and the first day is Spring is March 20th...so we are only 24 days away from the first day of Spring here in the United States. Can you feel Spring Fever... I know I can.
The sun is out in Michigan this morning, and Roxie and I had a nice 1 mile walk around the neighborhood. It’s actually 41 degrees out and sunny. We had to watch for some icy spots on the sidewalks, but all in all it was AWESOME!
Have a great day!

This week's successes / challenges:
I'm back down to where I was a few weeks ago, and I am happy about getting back on track. I find it crazy how taking a week to 9 days off from the gym (due to the severe Cold weather here in the South) my body is sore from my workouts. Hopefully next week will be better.8 -

Last Week's Successes: Finally getting myself back under the 180s.
Last Week's Challenges: I am really struggling with body image.
This Week's Plan: Hit EVERY meal under/at my calorie goal and carb goals so I can figure out if the MFP calculator calories for losing 1 pound a week is working. While I have been good, I haven't been consistent.4 -

Goal weight for 2021: 196
Current weight: 239.8 lbs (2/26/2021)
Total weight lost: 7.6 lbs
This week's successes: Maintenance, I guess? I went over pretty much every day - no excuse, I just didn't do a good job at staying under budget. I did log everything honestly, though, so that's something.
This week's challenges: I couldn't even tell you why I snacked so much this week. My breakfast and lunch both had decent protein and fiber, or so I thought. My husband and I have been getting up early - he started his clinical practicum this week and needs to be at his site by 7 AM, which means our household now wakes up at 6 AM. It's been nice for me, having all this time in the morning, but maybe just being awake longer has contributed to the snacking, I don't know.3 -
I am 51 year old 6'0" with a Thyroid issue, that I am on Meds for, and tore my Achilles in May. My weight constantly yoyo's and the up is more than the down. Heaviest I have ever been.
I have been unable to do any cardio and the weight has continued to creep up. I also have a torn Meniscus but can still get around.

Successes this week- working out every day with Gina B- Up to the Beat Fitness on UTube.
Happy to get in my 30 minutes of exercise every day and walk the dog every day. Logging my food... all of it.
Setbacks- overeating. Snacking junk food.
The hardest part of weight loss.
I am working on getting it all of the cogs to work together. Here is to a new month and upcoming Spring!
