I have to look at what got posted here for those days. I used my manual pedometer at times that week which was malfunctioning and doesn't keep the data like Google fit does. It'll take me a few minutes.1 -
6/6/21 step count-12,083
6/7/21 step count- 15,012
6/8/21 step count- 19,314
6/9/21 step count- 13,870
6/10/21 step count- 19,318
Additionally I need added 1-40min jogg 6/7/21. On the day I discovered my manual pedometer was broken on 6/7/21 I jogged 40minutes using only the manual pedometer and then walked with my google fit app on wearing my phone with the manual pedometer also clipped to me. When I got back the manual pedometer had half the steps as the google fit did even though it should have shown more because I used it before jogging in place watching my show for 40minutes. I ended up using my step count on the google fit as it has the correct number of steps and miles for how far I walked but I don't know how to turn the 40min jog into steps and add it to that day. If need be you can drop the jogg and we just go forward. My 6/6/21 step count is probably 50% lower than the amount I walked that day. When I looked into others receiving the same brand faulty pedometer other people recorded massive discrepancies in their counts but how much it was off was very inconsistent from day to day so I didn't want to guess about 6/6/21 and am leaving it underestimated. Everything from 6/8/21 going forward is acurate as I was fully back to using google fit.4 -
you would think that if MFP is giving us a recipe then it's in the list for us to log. I just made the 3 ingredient banana-oat cookies. they are decent. i don't think i mashed up the bananas enough and they stuck a bit to the parchment paper. can't believe they were that easy to make, though. i'd say take a minute or two off the time or maybe cook one tray at a time. great snacks with 2 cookies being 87 calories. maybe add some cinnamin.6

Steps 15,676
Did my new workout and ran errands. I saw the podiatrist and she thinks that the toe numbness is stemming from lower in my foot and suggested I try voltaren gel and stretch it by rolling with gold ball.
I tried to go for a walk in the afternoon but my stomach was hurting.
It is getting harder to remember to post here so not sure how it will go in a week when the kids are home.

Thank you ... my legs hurt in a good way but my foot with a screw in it is not happy and my hips are on fire ...taking the entire weekend off 5 -
@lindamtuck2018. Thank you. I think what made it possible was that before I even left, I had a plan. Of course I didn't know that all hell would break loose, and a 6-day trip would turn into over 2 weeks... I just gave myself grace, and made the best choices I could under the circumstances. I lost weight over the holidays, so I decided this wouldn't be any different, if possible. And, because I was at an almost 8,000 foot elevation, I drank tons of water. I'll be leaving again next week for a trip I've had planned since February. This is going to be a much shorter spa trip. I just wish I weren't leaving so soon after the last trip. Hubs is very supportive. He still can't believe all that I accomplished in NM. Heck, I look back and am impressed, lol. On this trip, I'll be hiking 2x a day if I want, plus other exercise classes. And... I will have dependable internet!!😊😁6

Awesome steps! Great job on hitting all your goals!
Great job on being so active!4 -
Good morning Downsizers!! Yay, it's Friday!
It has gotten quite warm (and humid) here in Texas... looks like summer has arrived! Definitely makes for some uncomfortable walks but hopefully I will acclimate soon.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
6/10 steps 9,250
So, I have only been at this for going on 11 weeks now but yesterday, I finally hit that point where I actually thought to myself "I cannot wait until tomorrow because it is lifting day". If you know me, you know I HATE exercise lol so that was a huge step in the process!
I am impressed you stuck with the training until it became something you enjoyed! Well done!Rwood566

It was Leg day today... 😐
And I'm still confused, and it was demoralizing for a time 😣. I've never experienced such a set back when I lifted regularly in the past. So I'm a bit confused as to what happened.
My squat today was equivalent to 10 steps backwards (as opposed to 1).
All things being the same, last week I managed 10 reps in the first to sets to 12.5 " off the ground.
This time I did just 5, then 3, then a miniscule 2 on my last set.... And I didn't even work up a sweat or a heart beat... I just had nothing there, it's like I couldn't make the mind to muscle connection? or the muscles weren't primed? Perhaps I shouldn't take a Aleve the night before? Either way, during that set I was totally defeated. I felt like quitting and walking out of the room for a moment.
But I stayed with it... For whatever reason my Leg Extensions actually improved my Leg Curls were slightly improved. Everything else was fine. *scratched head*
Lynn and I were discussing the possibility that when she installed the seat last week? Maybe she put it at 14.5 and not 12.5"? But I don't think that is it?
Whatever happened to my squat, I think the best course of action is to go back to 14.5" and just try and get stronger from there. That last 2 inches changes everything drastically.
So yeah... Just hoping tomorrow things fair better on that end. 🤞
Forgot to start my Fitbit on this one, so you will just have to trust me. 😉
Other then that, I've been super busy.... And I'm off again, to watch a TV show with my brother. I've been neglecting him a bit with everything going on... I was suppose to watch Loki with him yesterday and I forgot. He wasn't to please... I could tell. But he didn't watch it without me, so he still loves me. 😎
I'll try to catch up soon.\4 -
Went to TJ Maxx today while my mom and sister shopped in Hobby Lobby next door. Decided to look at leggings and capris. Found a set that I liked on the clearance rack but the price tag was torn. Checker scanned the barcode and they were $10.00. When I got home and tried them on they fit, the brand that I purchased are All Fenix. I looked up the new leggings and they retail for $88.00!5

6/10
Tracked Yes
Under Calorie Yes
Water 96oz
Steps 11619
Exercise 53min walk at lake
One walk again yesterday but spent a good part of the early afternoon cleaning stuff out of the garage. It needs it so bad so I finally got a few things taken care of. Once the trash can was full though I had to stop haha. Pick up was today so it's empty again! Dad and I went for a late walk just the two of us. He wanted to push himself and have sub 20min miles so we walked faster. All 3 ended up being between 17 and 18 min miles. Mission accomplished.
Today was grocery shopping day and mom needed to go early so my routine got thrown off-which is why I'm posting so late. We got rained on the whole time we were out which wasn't much fun. Oh well, groceries are bought and put away. No outside official walk today, just the grocery stores. I am about to go hop on the treadmill though and finish out my steps now that the kids are in bed. Tomorrow I'll probably post at a different time too. Won't be home in the morning as mom and I and the kids are going to the farmers market.4 -

I had an awful night, woke up at 3AM with a terrible headache. Took medicine, but was unable to fall back asleep. Just kept my eyes closed and listened to an audiobook.
After reading this mornings amazing steps, I was inspired to go for a slow 3.5 mile walk (instead of no walk). Came home. Got a few chores done. Did a ride. More chores. Dinner. Now it’s family game movie night. Although tonight, we are going to postpone the game until tomorrow- headache is back. So proud of you guys! Thank you for posting. You motivated me to not let my headache keep me down (not a migraine- just a bad headache).5 -

Sorry about your headache. It is very hard focus and do things with one. You push through and did great with your goals. You say everyone inspired you, well what you did today is definitely inspiring.3 -
just updating steps this week- not sure if I have done them yet
6/6- 9440
7/6- 11944
8/6- 4019
9/6- 4028
10/6- 9630
i'm charging my fitbit right now but might get a few more steps in before bed.
Yesterday, especially, I was pretty chuffed with myself. I was probably sitting at around 2000 steps by 9pm and talked myself into going for a walk! So went about 4.5k which is a lot for me. The evenings seem to be a good time to do it, especially with the weather being so hot!!
Today was a work day so hurting like hell right now. But hit just over 10k steps.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Not unexpected since I was way off track Wednesday. At least it's not a gain.5 -
My steps today were 30,257. The only way I could keep my legs from hurting was to keep moving. I hope everyone has a great weekend.7

Steps-12,957 which is also my father's birthday 12/9/57.
I ate within my deficit because well I'm not very hungry today.
