Fantastic loss! Your goals are great. I can’t wait to celebrate your July 1st goal.
@Tazaria87
Your weight loss is amazing. You have lost the equivalent of another person. All I can say is awesome!
@TheresaM787
Your steps are outstanding. You added jogging into the mix! I know you are proud of your hubby but you should also be so proud of yourself. You work hard to meet your goals and you are showing us how maintenance is done. I am honoured to have you as a teammate.5 -
6/18 step count. 33,400
6/19 step count 32,004
I have been super busy here. Staying on track with calories. Not so well on sleep. Trying to stay positive. I do have a sweet tooth but I am doing good about not eating alot of junk food. I have found I like sugar free jello. It is only 5 calories in a serving or 20 for the whole box. It satisfies my sweet tooth so that i dont eat a bunch of cookies. Have a good weekend!6 -

Your steps are fantastic! I had trouble with my sleep for awhile but keeping my bedtime routine made a big difference. Also, I take melatonin. I used to eat so much of that jello. Maybe I will try it again. That’s good that you are finding low calorie ways to satisfy your sweet tooth.littleflutterby wrote: »Steps for Saturday- 14,852

Steps 4,690
Yesterday was my birthday and spent the day doing fun stuff. Picked up my new desk/chair to complete my remodeled room. It is so pretty now and bring me joy versus the old kids playroom that looked so messy when you first walked in the house.
Met a friend for coffee and went to one of my favorite summer spots on the water for cocktails and oysters then dinner out with friends.
Topped of the night with snuggles from my favorite little people. All in all a great way to start my 44th year!5 -
Top of the Morning to you this find Sunday...
I did drop off of the MFP world yesterday. Yesterday was busy.
So... In case you didn't know, trying to drill 4 holes 3/8" x 3" deep through concrete and have them all line up perfectly straight is NOT POSSIBLE. Not only is it not possible to just drill a hole in concrete, it's damn sure no way possible to get them all to line up properly. Which they must when have a particular thing which must be mounted.
I got the Cabinet together, no problem. (I followed instructions). But after 2.5 hours straight of putting everything I had behind that drill, including my chest, and my shoulder and all 400 pounds of me. I'm literally bruised marked up, sore as TRRUCK. In the end I managed to drill 3 holes to depth. But only 2 will line up, as the 3rd wondered. I have a 4th hole that also wondered to far, and I had to abandon it... And then I have my 5th hole, where my drill died... But with any luck today, I'll finish that one off and it should give me 3 good holes, and that should enough to Wall mount this Cabinet securely. (and hide all the bad holes... lol).
Literally I earned 40 zone minutes just drilling those holes, so I guess that's a plus right?
So today, I gotta get my *kitten* to work to grab that second battery for the drill (Didn't think I would of needed it for 4 simple wholes, lol). I also need to trim the mounting plate in the shop. Then Pickup a friend whom I promised to help with music stuff, bake a loaf of bread, bake Hamburger buns, have a meeting at my Ex's with my Son to discuss the possibilities of learning to live on his own. Oh and I was suppose to do laundry as well. Good thing I don't eat today as I'll have more time to do this stuff.
OH and I just remembered by August I'll have a Wall mounted organizer to install above the cabinet, that also needs 4 bolts sunk into that same Concrete wall. I'll have to google, but maybe If I started with smaller holes and worked my way up to the larger one, they won't wonder as much? Fun for the future, cause I'm committed to my plan damn it.
Results from Friday's Leg day...
My quads and my traps are still really pooched this morning. Legs feel similar now to what they did after my first leg day a month ago. My traps are feeling way worse then they a month ago. Conclusion, that HEX BAR really is amazing. Muscles are growing. 💪
Party on Dudes... I won't be around to much today either. Miss you guys! 🤗6 -

Check in for Friday
✅Steps 7,527
✅Sleep
❌Walk
I ended up having to go to 2 supermarkets yesterday so I was hurting when I got home. I knew a walk was out of the question but I was determined to reach my 50k steps for the weekly challenge and get at least 7,000 steps. I was like the little engine that could. I would get up and do laps around the apartment. I would keep saying I can do one more. My husband and granddaughter cheered for me. I also channeled Theresa’s one more challenge she did awhile back. Anyways, it took most of the day but I did it!
Today is a busy day. I have an eye exam this morning. Weird day for an appointment. I am making salads before I go. We have to make a few stops while we are out. Then this afternoon we go to my daughters for Father’s Day/my birthday celebration. I am not worrying about my walk today. I am going to count calories to the best of my ability today but I won’t be weighing or measuring my food. I have been dreaming about the brownie cheesecake that they are getting for my cake all week. I will take a picture if I remember.
Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads in the group!

@rlaskey2
Sounds like you had a lovely day. Happy Birthday.
@Poobah1972
Sounds like you got quite the workout drilling those holes. I guess hurting after strength training is a good kind of hurting. Happy Sunday!
@lmf1012
Congrats on a new personal high!

So are you now opening up your "home gym" to the public? It's a home gym on steroids 🤣 You can start your own home business with all of that great equipment.

Totally get rid of my coke habit. Each bottle is 200 calories. I had 2 this weekend so that adds up. Not to mention it will interfere with my goal of no insulin. Giving up pop totally has been a struggle. So my weekend focus from now on is to quit drinking pop.4 -

Yesterday was a long day with the family reunion. We got up in the morning and just headed out. They were starting coffee and rolls at 9am and it was a 30min drive. Lunch was at noon and they grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. All the other food there was pot luck style. Lots of food was brought. I definitely ate a few things I normally don't and am paying for it with a bloated stomach today. I tracked it the best I could though and didn't eat much for dinner. We got to see grandma but grandpa was too sick to make the trip. In a few weeks we are going to make a trip to their house for a visit. No one knows how much longer he will live. Questionable food choices aside, it was a good day of seeing family again that we haven't seen in 2 years.6 -
Check in for 6/19:
Steps - 4408.
Calories - about 1500, but highly questionable. Had to piece together what I had for lunch. Don't know how well I chose the items.
Exercise - gym early. 20 min bike moderate effort. 6 machines, mostly chest/back.
I have something in my lungs today. No exercise. I tried to write this 3 times last night but kept falling asleep.6 -

I struggled with this too and use diet soda as an intermittent crutch also flavored carbonated water. Someday I'll get over it but not today. It's about cutting the calories and sugar not being perfect... one day at a time.2
