Oof, I hope it’s just a sprain. Hopefully you’re not in too much pain and you heal up quickly!

@minstrelofsarcasm oh no I hope you are OK.
I am back for the step challenge. The kids gave me a new watch for Christmas. I was going to post for last week but I figured I would start fresh for the new year.1 -

I’m just happy it’s not worse coming back from Christmas and vacation. I’m so happy to be back to a healthy diet. My stomach did NOT feel good by the end of it. Too much sugar and alcohol and not enough fruits and veggies.

No gain or loss this week. I did change scales, my new sales arrived this week. I didn’t expect a loss this week. I am more concerned with getting back into the habit of tracking daily.

Happy to see you back @sydfit! I did fill out the application for the other challenge you do, but I never heard back. Guess maybe it’s already full.Weigh-in day: Friday

Thanks for all the well-wishes, everyone! Wrist still hurts today, and my personal trainer did a phenomenal job making a completely hands-free leg day - I'm so grateful to still be able to move heavy things, even while injured. I don't know if my mental health could take it.
My weight this morning showed the bloat I was ready for. The holidays were not kind to my body and I didn't do much to help the situation. But a couple pounds can whoosh away in a matter of weeks, so I am not too concerned - my weight isn't my main priority these days anyway. Lower numbers on the scale would be great, but I don't want to lose a single ounce of muscle if possible.5 -
Also, before I forget - I am still waiting on updated weights from @deskjockey925 and @izzified ! Let me know if you need to take a week off, be moved to support, want to be dropped, make a change to your weigh day, etc. We are here to help!0

Not too surprised this week. My diet has been pretty consistent and I’ve stayed within my calorie budgets. But I added in more intense workouts with weights this week through the camp so I imagine my body is holding onto some extra water cuz I AM SORE. But I hope that means it’s working 🤞🏻3 -

That’s probably it. My weight was all over the place the first month I started weight training. It’s a good thing I had started the challenge here and was training with a class at the gym, because it helped me
stay consistent and not give up in frustration.1 -
Ashley, this is for you...
I decided to check out the limited series You Are What You Eat, which is about a twin study on nutrition at Stanford (I think). 26 minutes ans 20 seconds in, the researcher says, "and that's why BMI is dogshit". Totally cool.
I may not finish it but it is interesting so far.
*Edit: it didn't kitten me!!4 -

Thank you for the reaffirming what I thought. It can be very discouraging to see the fluctuations going the wrong way when I’ve been doing everything I can to make the scale go down lol

I am happy with the drop, but think the majority of the weight loss is water weight. I will add my weight training back into my routine as of tomorrow and see how I get on.
Ideally I would like to get back down to my lowest weight if 203 before my holiday in April.6 -

@Kyra_TB97 great job on the weight loss! Any weight loss is great, even water weight loss. That’s usually the first part and then fat weight loss kicks in. Keep up the great effort! 👏🏻👏🏻
@Zumba_Luvah really nice job on your weight loss! Keep up the effort! 👏🏻👏🏻

Starting the new year off well too!
We've just got home from Spain and my body is falling apart - coughing is worse because of all the dry air on the plane, train and taxi, my voice has practically gone, my feet ache and I've got painful ribs (hopefully just muscular but, by jings, it feels cracked or out of place). It's now 2.30 am and I can't sleep because of this coughing. Don't expect I'll get many steps tomorrow as I'll need to recover for work on Monday.
Oh, and I've just read that there's snow, ice and high winds expected from tomorrow. Thankfully, we didn't read any news because many flights were diverted or cancelled earlier today due to the weather and, apparently, since Thursday, there have been problems with the weather station at Prague airport as it was hit by lightning. We were delayed from taking off by 30 minutes and arrived just 15 minutes late, only to find out that the normal airport buses had already stopped and it was night service, so we got a taxi instead. I had a coughing fit almost the whole way.
Oh, and I've lost my 400+ day streak on MFP! Aargh!
Right, I'm off to try and sleep 😴
Good night all 💤2 -

Not very good on the steps. The coughing from last week is pretty exhausting. Next week will improve.
