Just completed the 2nd week this morning. That’s the win. Otherwise I am bit of a mess. I’m frustrated about the lack of cardio, lack of sleep and lack of mental acuity going on this week. I’ll finally get 8 hours of sleep tonight. Super long 14 hour day tomorrow. I need to get in a run at some point this weekend. I think I am fairly cranky and I feel like I have gained 5 pounds. I’m also a bad friend. I haven’t checked in on any of you this week. Are you doing okay? You have made it through your week, pushing past the struggles and accomplishing your goals??!! I hope so!!

Thank you @F L for the support this morning! I got my happy feet outside the door and walked ≈23 000 steps, 21 km and even swam in a 8⁰C warm sea! 🥶 (First time ever bathing in such cold water by the way and I grew up near a lake.)

Today is my mini me's 6th birthday🖤 We're going to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, her choice. When I say that I could happily consume about eight of their rolls with that cinnamon butter in one sitting I am not exaggerating. My goal is to have two, because I know that telling myself not to have any is unrealistic. Also checking the menu ahead of time and planning out my meal. Will have a protein shake and an apple this afternoon to prevent from being super hungry by the time we get there. Might just avoid the cake and ice cream but we'll see...wish me luck!!!😉

First day at Disney today. Got over 40,000 steps before we got back to the hotel. Watch reset at midnight after 38,590 steps and got another 2500 after midnight that will log on tomorrow’s date. Getting to bed and resting so we can walk more tomorrow. Sore feet are real. Love the steps! Ate a solid breakfast with protein. Limited my sweets. Ate a protein bar at the end of the day. Still under calories. Limited protein options running around the park. Packing more options tomorrow.

Today I decided to explore my second hometown neighborhood and headed to the outlets to buy a new pair of shorts because my current ones are way too big and loose. I picked out three or four pairs just one size smaller… and they were still too loose! I couldn’t believe it when I realized I actually needed to try size S and XS. For the past 10–20 years, I’ve been wearing a US size 10, but today I walked out with US 4–6 (depending on the cut). I was honestly in shock when they fit perfectly. Even now that I’m home, I’m still in disbelief. I tried on the denim shorts and jeans I bought again just to be sure… and they really do fit! 😄 The other picture shows me wearing my old pair of shorts 😁.
