Yay I'm finally able to get on here again! MFP has been giving me trouble. @jugar thank you! Yes my bicycle is working and I went for a ride, it felt really great. I will post the ride stats in addition to my weekly step count at the end of Saturday or early Sunday. Eating has been okay, could be better, could be worse.…

Finally caught up on all the posts! I've run into the issue with MFP Community section being down a few times lately :s We celebrated father's day yesterday because not everyone was available on Sunday (I have 4 siblings and with spouses and nieces/nephews and our mom & dad there are 17 of us so coordinating schedules can…

@Terytha your cake looks lovely! My box cakes don't even turn out that nice when I try to layer them lol it always gets lopsided. Great job for a first time homemade cake!! @ells_runs really great step count! Your low day is one of my high days lol. The mountain climb sounds like it would be so peaceful and great exercise…

This week has just slipped right by me. I'm still logging every day and doing well with keeping a calorie deficit but haven't made time to check in here in a bit, sorry about that. I was able to go to the gym for the first time in 3 months and felt really good after. Although I've been active I noticed my strength and…

@jugar PW 244.7 CW 244.5 Steps for the week:

Ugh I hate when that happens, which is a lot lately. I like what @micki48 said that the scale is not the only way to measure progress. Hopefully you see some results soon! I planned to take my dog for a walk after work but it stormed so I jogged around the house for a bit. We also had a double rainbow which was amazing!

@jugar PW 243.3 CW 244.7 The scale had said I was up 6lbs when I first came back from vacation, so this is a big improvement. Thank you for being patient with me and giving me a few extra days. Bodies are weird lol. Drinking extra water is going well, and I did a workout video yesterday. Today is my long day at work, I'll…

@jugar Here are my steps for the last week: For last week's challenge I did okay, my goal was 25% protein every day and 3 days of not eating back exercise calories. I had 1 day with over 30% protein and the rest of the week was close to 20%, and I had 1 day under my alotted calories (without including exercise calories)…

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple days! My friends and I are on a trip in Traverse City, MI and have been having so much fun! We ate inside a restaurant yesterday for the first time since March and it was amazing. I made moderately healthy choices (I.e. ahi tuna appetizer instead of fried avocado egg rolls) but also…

@conleywoods gotta love when that collar bone shows up!! That's always been one of my favorite NSV's 😁 @Stefbomb2020 so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your amazing progress. Well I had a good calorie deficit for the first half of the week. Wednesday not so much, ended up giving in and had some cake with family at a…

Yesterday was an emotionally trying day. Husband and I have been trying to conceive our first for almost 2 years without any luck. Found out yesterday a client of mine (I'm an addictions therapist) is pregnant and completely unprepared, and a friend announced yesterday she's pregnant with twins (she already has a bunch of…

So far this week I've done better with eating healthier and less. At night right before bed I always feel hungry and usually crave sweets and last night was no different, but I chose to drink water instead and just go to bed. I thought about eating a cucumber if it got worse but it didn't. So far I've had 1 day where I…

It has been a busy few days. I spent much of the weekend outdoors and finally cleaned out our sun porch (been meaning to do that for a couple years now!) As well as finished planting the veggie garden and weeded/put down mulch in my herb/flower bed. Still have more mulch to put down and of course weeding never really ends…

What a great idea for the salad dressing! I love caesar but never let myself have it. I'll have to try your tip!!

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions to fight hunger ☺ @jugar PW 243.6 CW 245.5 TOTM is imminent so I'm sure it's mostly water. Ugh. Spent much of yesterday hiking looking for morels, only found a few when we usually get at least a couple baskets full. Might try again next weekend. Plan for today is to beoutside as…

@micki48 I had also jog in place and around the house to get my steps in! haha I'm sure it looks silly but oh well! Step update: 5/20: 7,478 5/21: 7,111 My garden has dried out and my plants are doing well. Basement is a bit wet but nothing to complain about. The same can't be said for many people's homes and it's terribly…

I just realized I typed the wrong dates! The correct info: 5/17 - 2,700 5/18 - 7,999 5/19 - 3,610 Sorry for the confusion!

@conleywoods how precious! They are adorable. Thank you for sharing.

@micki48 Step update: 5/17 - 7,999 5/18 - 3,610 I worked in the office today training new staff which meant a lot of sitting around. I was exhausted when I got home, and my muscles hurt from yesterday's video, so couldn't force myself to do a workout, but I did walk around the house to get an extra 1,000 steps so that's…

Happy to see us in first place this week! Hopefully we can do it again soon without anyone being ill. @micki48 Steps for 5/17: 2,700 My plans for yesterday's workout did not work out haha. Instead I again crashed on the couch. So sleepy during my luteal phase, and the rain doesn't help. Today I will start the day with a…

@jugar PW: 244.6 CW: 243.6 Woohoo that's more like it! Steps for yesterday 5/16: 9,262 I spent much of the day in the garden yesterday and enjoyed every minute of it. Today is rainy and cold so I'm thinking I'll make up a batch of chili and cozy up with a book. Probably do a workout video later today to meet my step and…

I've been so tired the last few days, I've noticed since tracking my cycle that during and shortly after ovulation I'm prone to falling asleep accidently on the couch lol darn progesterone. Despite this I've met/exceeded my step goal every day so far this week. @micki48 my steps 5/13: 9,808 5/14: 6,108 5/15: 10,698 I went…

@micki48 my daily steps 5/11: 5616 5/12: 7292 Had another good calorie deficit today and macros have been close to my goal the last few days. I really do feel less hungry when I eat enough protein, fats and carbs (especially fiber!) So far I'm having no problems meeting/exceeding my new step goal of 5000 daily. I actually…

PW: 244.8 lbs CW 244.6 lbs I enjoyed a couple s'mores and other treats over the weekend, but stayed mindful about portions most of the time 😋 Today I had a good calorie deficit and completed a 30 minute workout video. Onward!

I've been in a similar situation and it is uncomfortable! I'm sure that's not the intent but that doesn't make it any less awkward.

Back in town and back to logging as usual. Even though it was cold and a bit snowy, I still enjoyed the weekend in the wilderness and feel more refreshed. Looking forward to some decent weather and lots of time outdoors this week! @micki48 My steps to finish out the week: 5/8: 11,415 5/9: 5,929 5/10: 5,230 I've decided to…
