    Yup, terrible steps yesterday. I ended up mostly doing nothing. It’s cool right now but it will warm up this afternoon.

    Good morning!!

    Weigh-in Wednesday
    PW: 234.2
    CW: 235.8
    I expected a weight gain bc I haven't ate great this week. I haven't binged after my last huge loss, which is a NSV (non-scale victory).

    Looks like rain in the forecast for several days this week. I will do my best to get my steps in.
    Steps
    4/28: 4,749
    4/29: 7,121
    4/30: 5730

    Have a great day everyone!!

    I am looking forward for May to be a restart. I am going back to my eating plan that was successful for me before. Nothing wild, just um moderation. I know shocker right! Also, reigning in my carb count too. With weather getting nicer and warmer I plan on doing more things outdoors. Having this puppy has really thrown my schedule out the door. I will be on summer break in a few weeks so that should help. Then I need to figure out how to keep that momentum.
    Today I packaged my food and plan on walking during my lunchbreak. I need out of the office (and away from the Teachers)

    Don't you just love it when something clicks in your head and losing weight is more important than eating food :)

    My darling friend grabbed some groceries for me last week...I've went through 2 loaves in about 10 days.
    It's been months since I've had bread in my pantry and this'll serve as my humbling reminder regarding disapline.

    Healthy May Downsizers!

    Wednesday - all goals met

    👣 18,729 steps
    📝 Logged Everything
    🥗 Stayed under my calorie range
    💪 Strengh - 50 Min
    💦 8 glasses of water
    🧂 Stayed under my sodium goal
    🎮 ME! Colored a picture on my color app on my phone, and went out with the family last night (Bingo night); always a fun time.
    🌷🪻Happy May! 🌷🪻

    In mid-April I had to get a new scale - the old one died. The new scale was ugly and not nice. As much as I hate to say it, the new scale was right. Went to the doctor yesterday and the numbers matched to the decimal. But, that being said - it kicked me in high gear and I met most (if not all) my goals since then. Am almost back to where the old scale said I was. Nice day yesterday yesterday; moved bingo night with the family to Wednesday this week. Mom is a bingo nut and goes 3 days a week - my sisters and I join her - usually Monday - but this week the Wednesday bingo's place big prize had to given out, so we switched it. Noone won, but it is always fun.

    I blame my mother for the gain! 🤣 She was visiting for a week and we definitely ate good. Time to get back at it and get in more exercise and water.

    You have to try it. Skydiving is so much fun. I jumped 3 times. I broke my leg the second time but I landed wrong. My fault as I didn’t do what I was taught. I have a terrible fear of heights. Having to climb out onto the strut of the plane gave me so much anxiety I just couldn’t do it anymore. When the parachute opened and you are floating down is an amazing feeling. It’s a shame that I couldn’t overcome my fear of heights.

    @Lindamtuc2018 One thing I learned while researching is that the fear of heights is actually one that all of us are born with (that and interesting enought the fear of the dark). Most other fears are learned fears.

    That is interesting. I wonder why so many are able to overcome their fear of heights and the dark.

    Enjoy your lunchtime walk. Sticking with what worked previously is a great plan.

    Please make it click in my head. I live to eat not eat to live.

    Healthy May Downsizers!

    Bread is something that gives me trouble at times. It’s funny how certain foods make us lose control. I have a few that I have no discipline with.
