Day 50 of 224, Mon 8/10
Ate 1641 calories today, that’s all of my exercise calories plus 8 over. Soooo hungry, but probably just emotions because looking back over my food journal, I really have no reason to be hungry. Maybe I shouldn’t be looking at WDW food pics. Now I want a Beaches & Cream sundae as big as my head. Water: 12.
Took 9,632 steps today. Only walked 40 minutes outside. It was so muggy, I felt like I was slogging through thick air, almost like a swimming pool. DH was fine and willing to do more but I was low energy and just plain had a bad attitude so I called it. Ate when I got home and felt a lot better. Walked 30 more minutes inside plus a store run.

Day 51 of 224, Tues 8/11
Ate 1752 calories today. That’s all of my exercise calories plus 119 over. I’m constantly hungry again, I feel like it's a few weeks ago all over again. If it continues I will probably bump up my calories because that’s what helped me last time. Water: 14.
Took 10,126 steps today. That was a 60 minute walk outside, 10 minute walk inside…with my shoes on this time and a store run. I don’t usually wear shoes when I walk inside which I knew was wrong and I injured my foot yesterday walking for so long on the hard floor and didn't realize it until today. It’s right below my toe and above the ball of my foot. It’s like an electric shock it hurts so bad when I’m barefoot and pushing up off it. Otherwise it feels completely fine, I don’t feel it all. Thankfully I don’t feel it at all when I’m wearing my shoes, even when I'm pushing up, and it hasn't affected my walking outside. I will definitely always wear shoes inside when walking from now on. I’ve learned my lesson. I just hope it heals quickly and I didn’t do any lasting damage.
I shopped in my own closet today. I have 2 bins of too small clothes. I’m currently in a size 22 and I was hoping that I would find a size 20 so that I could monitor my progress, I know I’m getting closer. Well, I found a size 20 jeans, 2 size 20 capris, 2 size 22 capris, 1 bra and 1 lounge pants. Jackpot! The capris are cute too! I forgot I had pretty much all of it. Most are barely worn, some never and the bra still had tags. I might buy 1 more pair of shorts off eBay otherwise I don’t think I’ll need anything else until it’s time to shop for our Feb trip sometime in Jan.

Day 52 of 224, Wed 8/12
Ate 2557 calories today! Not a typo. That’s 870 calories over. I was already over a few calories when we went to the store for 2 fresh-baked donuts each. Can you tell that donuts are my ultimate weakness and pleasure? We used to get a half-dozen each so I guess 2 is an improvement. They were just meh. Fresh, but a little lacking on flavor. Absolutely took care of insatiable hunger though. Water: 9.
I’m still constantly hungry and am definitely thinking I’m going to bump my calories up probably starting this weekend because when I don’t look what happens. I would like to eat somewhere between 1900-2000 calories a day but I’m not sure if that would be too much. I’d like to lose about a pound a week. DH said I should just try it but I’m worried about gaining. I don’t think I would always eat them but it’s nice to have the option on the hungrier days. I’ll probably play around with the Total Daily Energy Expenditure calculator thing again to see if it might work and then try it for a week.
Took 9,495 steps today. 60 minute walk outside, then a 20 minute walk inside with shoes. Still hot, I feel like this summer is hotter and longer than normal but maybe I am just more sensitive to it because I have to work my exercise around it. I like all kinds of weather but can’t wait until it cools down again consistently and I can do my mid-morning walks again.
