I've gone up 2 weeks in a row sorry. I have not tracked my food as consistently but I have also started running more the past couple of weeks to train for a 10k race, so I am hoping some of it is muscle gain?

I got a birdie walk today 😂
My knee and calf are aching like mad though. The swelling has travelled to my ankle. I got a Chinese medicinal patch and have taken a painkiller in hopes of easing the discomfort until I see the doc.
I was working at home all day but went out at 5 o'clock and did some shopping along the way.
I bought some xylitol (birch sugar) which has 40% fewer calories than standard sugar, however I bought it to try as a mouth wash/liquid pulling for tooth enamel health. It doesn't seem right that any type of 'sugar' can be good but lots of info says it can help. Erythritol (corn sugar) apparently has zero calories and about 70% of sugar taste in case anyone is looking for more natural sugars. I don't use sugar much as I don't bake or make sweets often but, for others, it might be useful.
I can't remember exactly when I bought the bag of standard sugar we have, still ¾ full, but it really was about 8 years ago. Occasionally, we add a teaspoon to a tart tasting sauce - that doesn't mean we don't eat bought sweet and sugary things, we just don't add it to much at home. I prefer to use honey (which also lasts an insane amount of time in our house) but, at the end of the day, it's all natural sugar and both have calories.
Anyway, I'm paying more attention to sugars/carbohydrates and their alternatives for overall health these days.

Be careful of sorbitol. If you eat very much of it...it can cause exciting gastro events. Also lycasin, which is also in the family of 'natural' sweeteners that don't convert *look up reviews of haribo sugarless gummy bears (funny and horrible at the same time), which were discontinued several years ago. It is my understanding that many of the --tols have this effect, though perhaps maybe not as much as sorbitol and lycasin.
Edit: I'm adding a link to a forbes article about lycasin, which is mostly made of malitol. Did no one notice the first part of the word is mal? Mal as a prefix means...bad!

Thanks, that's good info for those who might use such things.
I actually never have sugar-free things as I prefer the real-sugary option and have avoided them since the early 90s after hearing about aspartame possibly being carcinogenic. With xylitol, I'm using it as a once-a-day mouth wash (instead of oil pulling) for its claims of aiding enamel mineralisation, then I spit it out.
I did see that in extremely high doses, it causes a laxative effect. 💩 Lol, I've just read the Haribo story 🤣 Yeah, I'm glad I don't bake or add sugar much. However, if I get constipated, I know what to reach for.
Thanks for the info and I'll be sure to understand these things more.

Our bolded members set a step goal for the week and met it! Which is to say, all of us (participating this week) with step goals!! As always, if you want to... be bold (heehee), let us know how many steps you want to hit every day on average and we'll keep track of it for you!
In May, we were SO close to 3 million. Unbelievable!!!
What goal do we want for June? Well done walkers!!! Who is ready for this month's challenge?
Sorry this is so late...it was almost finished when my phone ate all my work this morning and I had to take care of other stuff...Welcome to the June Step Challenge!1 -
I’d like to join the step challenge. I have a personal goal of 9,000 steps a day right now.1
