went out with my daughter to look for some equipment to build hand strength. wound up getting lunch at five guys. i thought i was doing ok by ordering a single patty burger with tomato and lettuce. daughter gets me a double patty, fries and a shake. i took one patty off, added a little steak sauce, had 1/3 of the fries and the shake. when it came time to input it i found out i blew my budget to pieces. 1360 calories. that shake was over half. i accepted it and just got back from a 75 min walk, going 3.6 miles. really good for the heat of the day. i almost worked that shake off. lol i'm going to alter my dinner plans as well. salad without dressing, add a little hot sauce and some baby carrots. that'll at least manage my overage. moral of the story is don't let one bad meal ruin your day.6

Love your positive attitude! You’re absolutely right- to “not let one bad meal ruin your day”. Plus, way to show restraint removing a patty and only eating a third of the fries. Nice one! Bonus on your walk 👏👏👏4 -

nightly check in for 4/7:
steps - 8907. the vast majority was a heat of the day walk.
calories: over my 1800 personal goal but under the 2069 this site gives me. the exercise amount is a bonus i try to ignore.
exercise - yes
i felt proud of myself for taking the patty off and limiting my fries. normally i'd have scarfed those down and then have dealt with the fallout later.5 -

Bloody hell! I was so nervous for my weigh in because of TOM... I've been under my calories all week and drinking lots of water. I'm so very happy with this rate of loss 😁😁5 -

@Tazaria87
It is great that you are seeing improvements in your physical fitness! Awesome job!
@rlaskey2
Nice loss!
@TheresaM787
Another great bike ride. Well done!
@rwood566
That is so good that you reduced you intake by removing the patty and eating less of the fries. That shows you are thinking about how to enjoy your treat lunch while reducing the calories. Thanks for the reminder. We don’t have to wait until the next day to pick up from a bad meal. Great job on the walking!
@roz0810
Awesome loss! You did everything right and your hard work payed off.
@kdlgiannoulis
Maintaining can be a positive too!

I stayed under my calories yesterday and lost 2lbs of water weight I had gained. My weigh-in is tomorrow and I'm hoping to be what I was last week. Although that week was up, I kept increasing this week so hitting it again would be nice...we shall see.
@rlaskey2 That dinner sounds awesome! I'll have to check out that site - I love spicy foods.1 -
Wednesday’s check in
Daily Goals
✅Steps 5,656
❌Sleep
✅Walk
✅Water
Today we enter a stay at home order. Why this lockdown and stay at home is bothering me so much is something I can’t figure out. I ended up having a terrible sleep and binge eating. As most of you know I binge when stressed or upset. I am still working on that. The good news is the few times I have binged the last three months the amount I am eating has drastically reduced. I have made a lot of progress and I am proud of it.
My weight has been all over the place this week. I was 216 on Friday, I had a high of 219. 2, a low of 212 yesterday and back up to 215.6 today. I am hoping my weight will go down a bit for tomorrow’s weigh in. I am going to head out for a walk. I won’t be stopping for a tea as it is non essential so I will try a different walking route today. It’s another beautiful day so a great day for walking. I am planning our meals for next week and making my grocery list. I am going to start taking out my windows and cleaning them today. That should burn a few calories.
Have a super day!

@Tazaria87 excellent work on your treadmill. pushing yourself to go faster shows great improvement. how do your and your hubby feel today? i hope the shots didn't hit to very hard.
@rlaskey2 homemade refried beans? i'll have to check that out. thank you very much. good food and not much griping. double win.
@roz0810 very nice weigh in.
@kdlgiannoulis nice weigh in. surviving holidays has always been a win in my book. there should be a rule that easter candy shouldn't count against us. lol
@lindamtuck2018 I'm there with you on the emotion eating. all of those peaks and valleys in your weight must make your chart look like an ekg. it'll smooth out again. it's all good if it trends slightly downward.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 good luck with your appt today. i also hope it's not bad.
i hope everyone has a lovely day and a good weekend. don't stress over things you can't change.2 -

Neither one of us seem to be having a reaction which is great. My mom actually got pretty sick after hers so I was worried. Especially with my neices being here today. We both just have a very sore arm at the injection site.3 -

Don't have much to write about yesterday! Got my 1st Covid vaccine, the set up was super smooth and we were in and out in no time. After my neices got picked up, I finished tagging the rest of my sale stuff so that felt good. Today I'm watching my neices again and going to try to start putting my house back together.3 -
