Weekly Weigh-In #314 (175.5)

Oooomph. Uber up. I admit, I've been stressing. And eating. And not really exercising. It's still pretty easy for me to hit 20k Mon-Thursday though.  #2 was on finishes this week, so he didn't get as many steps. #5 made it on the board though (beating out Grandpa), and that was forgetting to wear his Fitbit entirely one day.  #4 registered over 26k, and that was not wearing the Fitbit full days, and skipping a few days all together.

Stacked Steps

 My steps and stats ...

No ping pong, but added some badminton and bowling. No weight workout.  OTHER ACTIVITIES: Lots of lawn mowing and gardening. Some school stuff (registration and orientation), restocking the ranch (duck food) and a car show.  Here's the Day by Day ...

• Monday (0805) Zumba ... subbed for Kirsten again. Then it was off to Sophomore orientation with #4. It went fine, except with construction, we were only able to get to two of his eight classes.  Picked up #5 from his sleepover. Got him registered ... he is still at Elkridge (not what we had planned for, but okay). Got in two miles treadmill. Hubs was late with a work awards dinner. 22571 steps. 2929 burn. 1950 intake. 
• Tuesday (0806) Got in 30min elliptical early, then Zumba over at the church. Two miles treadmill for additional exercise, and I mowed the lawn. #3 took his brothers out for some fun (lunch, puppies and NickleMania) and got a haircut for himself. The repairman came and the microwave is back up and running.  22180 steps. 2795 burn. 2500 intake. 
• Wednesday (0807) Good day. Just elliptical and Zumba w/MZL for official exercise. Played some badminton with #4. Overcast day. Ran some errands (CalRanch, Reams). 21449 steps. 2906 burn. 2400 intake. 
• Thursday (0808) Prepped the house for cleaners. Brought zucchini to Zumba. Small class today. Grocery shopping after. Ducks and gardening and quite a bit of time trying to find tech for #3 to set up a projector ... then his activity got rained out anyway. 23365 steps. 2984 burn. 2700 intake. (Picked up some candy corn at the store ... early in the season, but I can't resist!)
• Friday (0809) Zumba w/MZL. Smiths stop afterward. Drop off at the drycleaners. Mowed the front lawn. #3 had his movie night in the backyard, with s'mores too.  17931 steps. 2716 burn. 2300 intake. 
• Saturday (0810) Got in a half hour of elliptical. Hubs installed a filter on the fridge ice-maker (I was getting disturbing floaties in my water as the ice melted). #2 installed a smart switch down in the gym, and I spent some time there getting it all set up. Took the two littles to a local car show and grabbed them hot dogs at the food cart. Made cookies. Mowed the back lawn.  15344 steps. 2678 burn. 3900 intake. (umm ... not sure what happened there!)
• Sunday (0811) The older boys did church (the two had friends/brothers homecoming/farewell) while Hubs and I took the two littles bowling with the Sunday special.  Strog for dinner. #1 and wife were over and got games going. Lots of laughter. 8929 steps. 2266 burn. 2450 intake.
