I suck at losing weight but I'm pretty good at getting those steps! (most of the time ;) ) I'm back from camping-hiking and although I am a bit sore and the number on the scales was horrible this morning, still I have a good reason to be pleased: I hit my personal best on Saturday: over 31K steps! Here are my steps for…

My weigh in day is Friday but I'm going camping tomorrow and I am only half packed so it is going to be a busy morning tomorrow. I decided it's safer to report today's weight rather than to forget. To be frank this number is pretty depressing: CW: 140.2 PW: 138.3 Partly it's due to me just being unable to stop eating,…

MotylekOkruchy PW: 137.9 CW: 138.3 Summers are always hard for me in terms of weight control. For many different reasons. The trend up starts already in March, around my birthday, and usually I am able to slow gaining a bit until after Memorial Weekend. I always plan to revert this trend but fail over and over. Then in…

That's been my thought for a while... Posts like your stop me from doing so. Thank you!

MotylekOkruchy It was a very active Memorial Weekend for me. Kids had no school on Friday already so I took a day off too. We did a lot of hiking over these 4 days! Here are the steps for last week: Sunday: 11036 Monday: 12077 Tuesday: 15940 Wednesday: 14681 Thursday: 13550 Friday: 19476 Saturday: 25581 Total: 112,341

MotylekOkruchy Fridays PW: 138.1 CW: 137.3 I hope this is a beginning of the trend. I have several hikes planned over this long weekend (in USA), starting today. I will try not to overeat and hopefully my body will deal with water retention resulting from increased activity by next Friday.

1. incorporating yoga into my daily routine - a short, 10-15 min, routine works wonders for me 2. not eating after 4/5 pm - going to bed hungry makes me full of energy the next day

Maybe THAT'S why that book recommends NOT counting certain carbs?! That would make sense, don't you think? The book arrived today and I hope to start reading over the weekend.

Last week I earned another badge from Fitbit - since I got it (mid November 2021) I walked 990…

MotylekOkruchy Friday PW: 135.6 CW: 137.3 A perfect storm: eating out after my son's swim meet last Saturday (OVEREATING) birthday party on Sunday (OVEREATING) 2 days of yardwork/gardening (water retention) and here we are . . . Well, I started looking more into my carb intake - following Target 100 being mentioned in here…

Yes, I would try it BUT with some. . . well . . . limitations? Carbs: I don't know if that's even doable for me! I checked my log for today: 249 grams! I could commit to monitoring. Staying within calorie limit and not hungry is overwhelming most of the time so I gave up on balancing nutrients a while ago. Water: I don't…

I loved the atmosphere at the meet. I find it very uplifting that so many…

No, I don't think so. To some degree, I guess, it depends on the point of view. From the point of view of BMI - I am OK. In the upper range but still within the brackets. (But we've had some discussions regarding BMI here before, right?) I may be within the brackets but I am still carrying a lot of that unwanted fat - I…

MotylekOkruchy Fridays PW: 135.7 CW: 135.6 It seems I am maintaining weight but I am still not in the range I'd like to maintain. I am 20 pounds away from that number! I started doing yoga and probably gained some muscle - I definitely look better. Judging by the magnitude of cravings, I am in the process of losing fat. In…

Here's how I get my steps: 1) I walk my daughter to and back from school - that's about 3K on school days. (I have an office job too, sitting all day in front of a computer, but I still work from home.) My neighbors drive their son to the same school. Because of the traffic, round trip takes us same time. It's really…

@minstrelofsarcasm You will be OK. You will do great. You have our supporting thoughts and virtual hugs - you know that, right? <3
