Need to drink more water that’s what I need to do! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I am getting back into orange juice also, and energy fizz sticks, any thoughts on these? My daughter had given me a box of them which I have so far only used 2 sachets 😊 The taste replaces that of a fizzy drink if you like your can of coke now and then😊👍

My weigh in Wednesday 158.0

@atareid14 I have a box of energy fizz sticks in the cupboard; they are the Arbonne brand. Because they have caffeine in them, I like them for replacing an afternoon coffee when it is too hot to have a hot drink!

@ashleymullo6195 You seem to be just a little over in calories each day. Maybe you can still lose weight eating this amount? A few weekly weigh-ins will soon let you know. And just to clarify, the "logging" part means to log your food into myfitnesspal, (presumably, since you are here), but it could also be some other form of keeping track of the "calories in" part of the equation. No one is asking you to weigh yourself every day, unless you want to! Some people find that helps to keep them accountable, and/or to generate a lot of weight data so they can see trends develop.

Still mixing things up. Since I'm now seated at a desk from 7AM - 4PM every day, and then home with my own kids every evening, I'm trying to find ways to use my lunch breaks or evening hours (after kids' bedtime) to exercise.

I tried belly dancing yesterday. Meh. Cardio drumming was fun though, but the spousal unit tantrumed about me using a pair of his old drumsticks.

Today, I tried the regular ol' dancey workout for the Game of Thrones challenge punishment. Double meh.
Then I tried a hip hop workout. Triple meh.
Then I tried a kickboxing one. It wasn't so bad, honestly. It's still not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. And it also reminded me that I can also throw in things like using my Bosu ball, which I packed away after I became more comfortable on my SUP board.

I still miss biking, but with all this flooding, the gravel and mountain biking trails I usually ride on are just...well, it's heartbreaking to see all these photos of my favorite riding trails, just absolutely inaccessible and destroyed. Sigh. I'm beginning to realize that maybe I'm more of an adrenaline-oriented active person (even at 48yo!). I like intense mountain biking, whitewater kayaking, endurance gravel biking, mountain climbing, and kickboxing. Weird. Enlightening.

I also had to do a pyramid-type challenge for the Hogwarts challenge, and that wasn't so bad either. And then I got to design my own, which was even FUNNER (yes, I know it's not a real word, but it felt right!). For those interested, you go up the pyramid, then back down (so start at the 10s, move up each step to the 60, then move back down to the 10s again.

Mine was:

10 sweep-squat-kicks
20 uppercuts (both sides)
30 jab, cross, hook, uppercut
40 squats with knee drives
50 front kick-back kicks
60 second plank with shoulder taps

I've been doing stretching for 10 minutes each in bed when I first wake up, and stretching for 10 minutes before i go to sleep. It seems to help me ease into/out of my day. I'll do some weight-lifting this evening and maybe some yoga this evening with the kids as they wind down from their first week of school.

These two challenges together are certainly keeping me hopping, but they've also forced me to get creative in how/when I can get in my cardio/flex/strength, and that's pretty awesome!

How is everyone else doing?
