I ended up with 67K steps for the week that ended on Saturday, whenever that was! Top day in the city was 14K, I had another day with nearly 13K, then most the time around 10K. Would have been crazy to get to 70K on the week but I'm good. My body is feeling it, and today, although at home, is going to be busy.

Weight up significantly. My scale that records weight from Bluetooth to iPad asked if I was sure it was me. We certainly did do a lot of eating and drinking. Expect weight to come down once better hydrated and back to old eating ways, lol.

This week just need to eat well and keep moving. I have a workout again on Thursday, then will workout the next two Mondays, and then back to the twice a week schedule.

You guys are all doing great. Kittykatt, I was thinking of you when I got up from a low chair in our room!

I am acknowledging & celebrating a health and fitness moment. I have now lost 20% of body weight since I started tracking and posting here daily. It has been slow process, but it is happening.

WTG, LadyM, you've done it slowly and surely and changed your eating habits along the way.

8500 steps yesterday around the house, plus two laps with ddog. Returned to normal eating too, lol. Vacation is done.

Note to self, space out water evenly throughout the day. It is not a good idea to drink most of them in the evening!!!

I am on a steep learning curve with fasting.....time restricted eating....or whatever name is given to having boundaries around the lonely mouth time. Never underestimate the power of a reward, even something as simple as an ASCII symbol. The desire for reward of earning a gold star has gotten me through many tempting moments when I wanted to snack. There is also the reward that is showing up on the scales. After months of staying the same weight, I am finally seeing weight loss happen again.
