Amazing! You are so determined. Can you lend me some of your motivation?

I am really embarrassed by these numbers. How can one gain 7 pounds in one week? I did eat over calories a lot but not enough to gain 7 pounds. I need to get my head back in the game. I have lost myself in the last 4 months. Stress has got the better of me and a lot of my old bad habits have returned. (Binge eating, night time eating, skipping meals, etc.) The last few days I haven’t ate at night so that’s a positive. My surgery is next Wednesday. I am going to concentrate on recovering and part of that will be my diet.

Have a great day!

@Megan_smartiepants1970
Please excuse me for next week’s weigh in and possibly the week after. I am going to not do the step challenge in August.

Step Challenge - Goal 8500
ST = Moderate
7/21 14,192
7/22 8,762
7/23 10,048
7/24
7/25
7/26
7/27

Brain or Heart - Tough questions. I think I start with my brain and millions of spreadsheets....then the heart wins.

Cardio or Strength Training? Strength Training as I see/feel the results.

What is the best part about who you are? I'm a problem solver.

What is your least favorite fruit? Cherries

How many jumping jacks can you do ? Can? I can probably do 20 but I won't as it's too high impact for my body.

@lindamtuck2018 ~ I had the exact opposite happen with my scale. After a crazy weigh in on Saturday, I weighed on Monday at 218.4 and it questioned my identity!!

@myndieet ~ Congrats on reaching Onderland!!!

Vacation Notice: I will be on vacation 8/3 and 8/10. I have not yet found my travel scale so not sure If I'll be able to post.

Like @Megan_smartiepants1970 My guilty pleasure is ice cream. Fortunately I found these three things that help me feel satified without all the guilt:

👣 12,945
📝 Logged Everything
🥗 Over my Calorie Range (under if I counted all my exercise calories)
🚶‍♀️‍➡️ 45 Minute Walk plus 20 Minute treadmill
💪 25 Min Strength
🦵 20 Min Knee Strength and Stretch
💦 8 glasses of water
🧂Under my Sodium goal

Another night of not sleeping well, and the snack monster got me again. After I eat I find it easier to fall back asleep. I used to have a lot of trouble sleeping when I was going through menopause - I was just too hot - but that had gone away. Now I seem to be in that pattern again, perhaps it's the summer weather. My husband has abandoned his fitness tracker. I turned off my Garmin fitness tracker in the afternoon - was trying to pair his so that I could wear one to bed, and one for the day (couldn't figure it out) and I forogt to turn it back on. So didn't get my final steps or my sleep hours. I hate when that happens!

@myndieet Congrats!

@lindamtuck2018 Stress and anxiety can play a huge part on our weight, even if you are eating what you should. Don't beat up on yourself too much - you also lose a lot of weight fast. Once the surgery is done you can focus on your recovery and things will fall into place.

@itladyee Well deserved vacation! Where are you off to?
