Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Hopefully well.
I am back to share how I am doing on my "health" journey.
Weigh in - Last Monday 223.
June 19th - 220.6
I am still down almost 3 pounds...I figured I would gain everything back over the weekend but I didn't.
Calories- 1,335
Protein - 48
Fat - 52
Carbs - 169
Fiber - 6
Sugar - 38
Today I had 2 different sandwiches, some fries, and a donut. I only had 2 meals (the donut was right after meal #2)
I did play frisbee with Eli for 30 minutes, which including running around after the frisbee, and a lot of bending to pick up the frisbee. So I think that counts as exercise for me.
My sugar wasn't too bad after my first meal, maybe because I did the running around after it. However after the 2nd meal it was over 200. I also did have more carbs at that meal.
We'll see what the scale says tomorrow since the calories were not super high today. What do you think?

When I have over 100 to lose it is not that great.

You are still doing well, and I understand the temptation of a donut. Luckily? Sadly? Donuts make me feel incredibly tired so I don’t eat them anymore. Playing Frisbee with your son is a great idea for exercise! Plus, I’m sure he enjoyed playing with his mama.

Well it may not be just the donuts, but the carbs or the gluten. But I do hear that. Carbs all make me feel tired if they spike my sugar. Sadly I am not doing all that well to be honest...

Sounds like you're doing well. Yes that count's as exercise. How about walking, can you fit that in. I walk everyday to blow off steam plus my weight of course.

@MommyOfEli2013 oh I didn't know, shows I haven't been on. But life happens and you know you got this.
If I don't walk I will ride my bike, especially when my sciatic is hurting and that's almost everyday.

I am not doing very well at all, actually. My doctor is going to be mad probably in a few weeks. That's great that you walk everyday. I can't really walk every day...for one it is boring to me lol, and 2nd my back will scream at me after 5 minutes. I put on 20 pounds this year, and around 40 since the last month or 2 of 2022.

Playing around is fun way to exercise. I will prefer it over some boring gyming. I enjoy playing outdoor games with my family. We often go to the badminton court.

It would be "fun" if I could actually do it without being in pain. I had to stop every 5 minutes because my back was killing me and I was out of breath. Badminton is fun

@MommyOfEli2013 Oh! Back pain or any body pain can be annoying and make such activities not enjoyable. After Covid infection, I do get bad days with my left knee. It has limited many of my activities.

Your calories look great. If you can keep them down it will make a difference

Yeah I was not too upset with the calories. But I am sure today they are much higher. Made homemade fingersteaks.

I think you had a good workout playing with Eli. Your numbers look good. Though your carbs are high.

Well when walking around and bending over causes me a lot of back pain, that is a big workout. If I was 50 pounds lighter that wouldn't be so difficult. Yeah I know the carbs are high....I wish I wasn't addicted to them.

Well I probably should have done an actual workout. I went up in weight so don't think it did much
