Heading off to visit my mum in Wales tomorrow, 12lb lighter than last time i saw her which was 6 months ago. Getting mentally prepared for "you've lost too much weight now", "you're not eating enough" and "i was going to make xyz for lunch (containing more carbs than i normally have in a month!).
Anyone else got a mum like this? It's going to be a challenging week!!4 -

@aactuallyaash
Congrats on the loss!
@Hotspur11
I think it’s great that you posted. It’s always easy to post when we have a loss but weight is never a straight line. Ups and downs are normal. I was trying to remember what part of the world you live in. Is it New Zealand?2 -

I think it’s a mom thing. I am always hearing what happens if you get sick. Don’t let it get in your head. Sometimes I just give in to avoid a debate but I won’t be this year when I go home.aneedlecraft wrote: »aneedlecraft

Steps: 12,436
Exercises: 2/4
Rings: ✔️
Badge: 1/5
I am going to attempt a longer walk today. I will call an Uber if I can’t make it all the way or make the return if I get to my destination. My March badge is fairly easy. I have to get 5 swims done for the month. I am so behind on my housework. I have to get some today plus my menu for next week.
Have a great Thursday!

I've tried to figure out how to reply to a post and get the post in where I reply to, but failed 😆 I'm mostly using the App.. Please enlighten me 🙏
I had a great week, eating wise. Keto gives me so much satisfaction.. I really love the things I eat, which when I'm on a regular 'diet', couldn't eat without a real dislike.. Like broccoli or Brussels sprouts, with keto they go down like it was candy 😆
The real struggle is being active and getting my daily 6000 steps in.. I have fibromyalgia and besides being very stiff and in pain I also have multiple days in a week where I'm so tired I really can't get anything done.. Going outside and walk than feels like going to do a marathon.. The more I push, the more my body & mind resists, so I'm trying to do as much as possible, and that might be, on some days, not much..

Ok, so last week I gained for the first time since starting my journey over a year ago and the scale is not budging despite super clean eating and lots of intentional exercise I’m about half way to my goal. Could this be the beginning of a plateau and how do I break it?0

3/3-10,058
3/4-10,442-10 minutes walking and core work
3/5-11,202-10 minutes kickboxing and core work
3/6-8,867-30 minutes of rowing and some stretching. Judging by my hip pain currently I am guessing I didn't do enough hip stretches.
We are getting an 8-week-old German Shepherd puppy today. So, my workouts will be a little different I am thinking. A lot more walking outdoors.

I saw my new Dr yesterday ... I fired my old doctor ... I am in a hard cast now ... He said my ankle is not properly healing ... He said if it is not healed in 3 months that he will need to put plates in ... I swear it is never ending with me ughhhh5

Motto: 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Recap: Glad today is not weight in day...oops but tomorrow is..... I did not have a good food day yesterday. Nothing that I can pin point as the reason for my choices. It was a late night as I got my manicure and pedicure done so about 7:30 when I got home. I had cooked chicken yesterday, so I heated that up but just wasn't satisfied. Then there was snacking, then there was wine. The scale shows it today. But that was just one day... Today, back on track. Hoping now for a break even!

Patience my friend.. Your consistency over the last year+ will get you through, you just gotta wait out the storm. Big tip of the cap to you for steadily dropping over a year! You will get through this challenge without issue, just hang in there.2 -
