This time I didn't cheat, I just forgot to post it!
Positive thought: I am hoping to cut down on my hour commute (2x/day) soon! My friend helped me make a budget, and I've spent so much time this week looking. Definitely by March~ probably.
Healthy choice: I started drinking a "green food" blend with probiotics, and it is entirely bearable without adding all the wonderful smoothie ingredients I would normally be tempted to add! Not a snack/meal, but I also started taking multivitamins and a D-3 supplement (per MD).
Other: Between my two hours of driving and searching for a nice, safe AND affordable apartment or room for rent, I haven't been logging consistently and I've had less time for my dog.
but once I move, I should have 2 more hours each day to spend with her! 3 -
Ok - confession: I am late posting my weight because I was embarrassed that it shot up. I was again traveling for work from Wed-Sunday and my Monday weight was mortifying. My brain said that it was ok (retained water from salty restaurant meals, bloating from TOM, etc.) but I still felt totally ashamed. I never missed a workout but I did indulge in snacks and alcoholic drinks - without logging them. But now I have to face the music. We are in this together and we all have ups and downs. Incidentally, I’ve lost weight during travel in the past, so I should know what to do...

A positive thought I had this week was: Don’t give up.
A healthy snack/meal I chose this week was: My strategy for dealing with all the treats we had during working lunches was just take one quarter or one-half of the treat, to satisfy my curiosity without eating a whole cookies/brownie/whatever. Interestingly, MANY of my colleagues followed my lead and did the same. Nearly all of us are mindful of our health.
My most effective workout this week was: I did the same kind of workout that I normally do in my house, but after exercising at the hotel gym, a woman commented about how tough my routine is. It’s nothing special: I do 20 min cardio followed immediately by an intense circuit of 3-4 compound exercises with weights for a total of 30-40 min.
Sorry for the rambling post. It’s great and inspiring to see everyone’s progress.1
