Hi all, here for Monday check in.

Yay for a loss, I have no idea how because my food hasn't been good, was getting back home at 1am consecutively so, ended up with fast food a number of times..shall see if it is just a fluctuation, but hoping I can retain the loss and lose more for next week. It was great to get out to live events again.

This week I'm planning on reintroducing more exercise whether that be bike or stationery bike, HIIT, weights or yoga. My plan is at least 3 times alongside any walking I do. I think doing that will help give a sense of structure, achievement and hopefully aid in revitalising my motivation.

It has been comforting reading the team's posts in seeing that a few of you are also going through similar emotions, setbacks etc lately, however, we are all still here not totally giving up which is a win amongst it all!

I'm going to have homemade tomato sauce from tomatoes I grew this year with pasta for dinner, yum!

Weighing pasta/rice/potatoes can be anxiety inducing with the whole dry vs cooked aspect. I'm not sure why it's a thing because water doesn't have calories, but the cooked weight is increased by the water so how do we know what weight the cooked food actually is in that case.. it's like ahhh! I'm interested to know what you guys do in regards to that.

Have a great week everyone!

Monday Morning Everyone! 😀

The weekend has left the building. Time to rub the sleep from your eyes and start running. That's right, tackle anything that gets in your way. We're not taking any prisoners!!!! ARrrggGHGHGHGHhhhhhhHHHHHH! 😜😆😀😁🤗😊

Did more HIIT on the Elliptical this morning. However, I tried something a little new this morning. I got off the elliptical on 2 occasions to slam a slam ball on the ground 20 times each time. Slamming slam balls = high heart rate apparently. lol. I used the 15 pounders, figured I might as well leave room for improvement. 😁

I also had a bit of shenanigans on the scale this morning. First time I stepped on it, it kind of Teeter totted between 376.6 and 366.8 and it stuck on 376.6. Doesn't usually have such a large swing, so I tried stepping on it 3 more times and each time I was now getting 366.8. But Renpho already updated my Fitbit, and Fitbit automatically updated MFP. SO, I'm like DOH! I go upstairs and sit In front of my fan in Turbo mode naked as the day I was born and dig into the apps. I end up deleting the MFP automatic update, and then realize that my second Renpho measurement didn't include all the body weight, BMI and muscle mass info. So, I delete that... heck I deleted everything about today. So, after 5 minutes I march back downstairs naked, and much drier thanks to Turbo Fan. 👍😎. Step on the scale, and BOOM 366.6 pounds for a total of 2 Pounds lost. And I was pleased to see MFP posted it up. WOOT WOOT! lol

Okay I'm going to be late for work... Have an amazing day everyone! 🥰😘🤗🤗🤗

Good morning everyone.

Check in for 9/12:
Steps - 2559. Another low day, energy wise. After all the time living here I should be used to this heat.
Calories - 1536. Bad dinner choice but I didn't eat to much.
Exercise. Blah. It is getting hot way to early for a long walk.

Above is part of a quote I read on another thread. I wasn't aware of this fact, whether it is true or not, and how long it has been in effect.

The most important thing, to me, is for you to know if you get a FR from me, I never take a declined FR personally. I'm more active on my wall. I am getting more active here as well. It is the "interwebs" after all😁!!

Monday's... Erg!

Got my phone, left it right here by the home computer. 😋

So right to business. For the last month or 2 I noticed some discomfort in my outer left elbow. I believe this is referred to as Golfers Elbow. (tennis elbow would be the inside part of the elbow closer to the body). It makes it painful to pick things up and raise my arm laterally. Even light things. It usually went back to normal in a day or 2 and always in time for my next bicep workout. UNTIL TODAY!

I know what the culprit is, or at least the major culprit. It's Hammer curls. I probably should have skipped them today, but I didn't and boy did it hurt (it even made a noise and something moved around in there.. DOH!). Thankfully though, Preacher curls and Ez bar curls don't hurt and in fact I moved up and still got every single darn rep. SO both will move up again. (seems nutty almost). 💪

Anyway, no more hammer curls for the foreseeable future... instead, I'll have to sub in Concentration curls. There may be some other movement that aggravate it, like heavy DB rows and anything that I have to GRIP really hard. But for now, we will just monitor and stay away from Hammer Curls. 😜

And in the meantime, I'll start interesting to see if there is anything I can wear on my arm or elbow to help alleviate "Golfers Elbow". I have a feeling tomorrow isn't going to be pretty where my elbow is concerned. 😆

So other than painful hammer curls, it was a great workout...

On the topic of food today.... I was a sore MOFO today, yesterday... And I can still feel my quads from Saturday's workout and my knees aren't feeling too peachy (Definitely got old man syndrome. lol). So, I thought it was important that I stuff as much food into me, and particularly Protein in an effort to help my body get over it and rebuild. 2400 calories of food sure seems like a lot. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do? 😎😁

Okay... I'm done. Whew!

Good night everyone... We got just enough time to catch an episode of Ted Lasso! PEACE! 🥰🤗😁

Under calories and hit my minimum protein level. I have a bit of a migraine and it’s 106*F (41.1*C) at 6pm, so, I will not be hitting my steps today. Water is close and I will be sure to get my 80oz.

Plan for tomorrow:
B: leftover half of egg white omelette
L: grilled chicken or other protein in cafeteria & veggie
D : shrimp fra diavolo
Water: 80oz
Steps: 5K
