@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…

PW 245.5 CW 243.3

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…

@jugar would it be possible to move my weigh-in to Monday this next week? I'm going to be out of cell phone range and have no internet access over the weekend. Steps for 5/6: 9,643 Steps for 5/7: 2,123 Oh the last 2 days have been a bit stressful with work, and our stay at home order was extended again until at least the…

Question - I wear my Fitbit during my workouts so it already tracks my exercise steps. Wouldn't that be double dipping to also count the workout minutes in that case?

@eggfreak sorry to hear about your soup! I've had similar issues with a groundhog getting into a batch of wild apples I had stored on the sun porch. Wildlife can be so rewarding to have around home but pesky at the same time!

@jugar or @micki48 my steps for 5/5: 6,611 Yesterday turned out well, I chose an ahi tuna tostada for lunch. Delicious and probably the healthiest item on the menu. I also did a Zumba workout on the Wii, which really made me miss the real thing. Can't wait for the quarantine to be over! IF still going well, pretty close to…

@micki48 I hope your head is feeling better soon! Had a concussion once and it was terrible. My steps for 5/4: 8,104. So far looking good for me to up my daily step goal 😀 Did not eat what I initially planned for the day but still made healthy choices and had another great calorie deficit. Tomorrow I am working in the…

@micki48 steps for 5/3: 10,507 Yesterday went well, had a great calorie deficit and lots of physical activity weeding the flower beds. Got my first sunburn of the year 🌞. Ate lots of veggies and protein. Most of my carbs came from veggies or whole grains. Almost stayed within my IF schedule, went over by a half hour before…

I do the same thing! 😔 I do genuinely feel hungrier on my more active days. I'm trying this week to eat back less than half my exercise calories and see how that goes. Good luck to us both!
