Well, I’ve been officially up 2 pounds and it’s held steady for the last two weeks. (Prob not water weight!) This is despite 7 days per week of #mbf, and 7 days per week of getting my daily step goal at night (13000 steps or more), and meticulously weighing/logging my calories through MyFitnessPal. Fitbit estimates my daily calorie burn to be around 2300 per day, so I’ve been eating 1600 calories per day. I am going to try lowering down to 1400 and see how I feel. Even though the scales not budging (actually going up!), I am not feeling discouraged at all because I’ve been living a really healthy life! But I am determined to lose some body fat so I’m open to tweaking my diet until I see results. It just gets so much harder once you become middle aged! Thank goodness I am lifting weights again because I know that will help me so much long term.

Done and done! Happy Friday ✌

21 day fix, day 2-leg day can be checked off!!
It is amazing how quickly I lose muscle mass and strength now that I’m in my 40s. I typically used 15lbs or 20lbs for these moves last year. I took two months off—and BAM—I couldn’t do more than 5lbs or 8lbs. The old saying that you better use it or lose it is true. And I am so sore already. But, you’ve got to start somewhere.

I just had to share...I’ve gotten my step goal (12,900 steps per day) for 49 days in a row. If I do it again today, that will be 50DAYS IN A ROW. I’m not always good at sticking to my habits, so this is huge for me! This has meant walking in all kinds of rain, and sleet, and snow...and on days when I was tired. It has meant overcoming a lot of really good excuses, if you know what I mean. But I did it...and I can hardly believe it.
