    Sunday check in
    Calories are under
    Water is over
    Exercise was taking the dog to the park and enjoying this amazing day that had no rain and lots of sunshine and warm temps.

    I woke up this morning with an almost 2 lb. gain and I really don't know why!! I've been working out every day since 12/31, get in at least a 100 oz of water or more a day, track everything I eat and have been within my points (I do WW). I did have a slightly higher sodium dinner last night but not that high. I've also been having a lot of drinks and some foods that have artificial sugar, so maybe that could be a culprit?? Anyway, I plan to figure it out. Today I had no ICE sparkling waters and other than walking in the park, I took the day off from exercise. We will see! :/

    Sunday
    Exercise way over 🏃🏼‍♂️
    Calories way under 🧁
    Water good
    Tomorrow- yoga, strength train shoulders and abs.

    Prepping for a marathon in March and ran 14 miles today, I hit the wall and the last 3 were rough. Treated myself with a cupcake at dinner though. Feeling sore and ready for an early bedtime.

    Let’s make good things happen this week, Team.

    You have inspired me to hit my treadmill tonight. Thanks Dave! Way to go on your run!

    I've been away from the computer a lot the last few days, so I've been missing in action. But I'm back home now from vacation and hoping to settling back into a routine. I'll lose my ability to ride my bike a bunch, but it's good to be home. Back to work in the morning, too.

    Congratulations to all of our "steppers!" We did great, didn't we? Can we do it again in January, folks? Let's give it our best shot!

    Great loss! Unfortunately we missed entering it before the week 1 cut off but that’s totally fine. I hope week 2 is just as good for you!

    Sunday Check IN

    Calories: under and that might be a first for a weekend day.
    Exercise: I might still do a treadmill program but right now I’m right into watching the Golden Globe awards.
    Water: awesome

    Although I’m not at the weight I would love to be at I am happy to have maintained my weight for the weekend. That might be a first which is a real Scale Victory for me.

    I hope tomorrow to stay on track with my food (I’m going to plan my meals after I finish my check in) and go for a walk at lunch and get a few steps in. I’d also like to get a treadmill workout in tomorrow night.

    Sunday Check In
    Calories: not sure, but not too bad if over
    Exercise: 8-mile bike ride in Florida, an evening walk back at home
    Water: not enough today
    Tomorrow: do you mind if I do this a little differently for a little while? I'm trying to be a little more specific. I don't have to do it here though if it's too much.
    Goals for tomorrow:
    1. Stay in the green.
    2. Drink 10 cups of water.
    3. Focus on extra protein and veggies.
    4. Walk or go to the gym.
    5. Eat only while sitting down.
    6. No alcohol.

    That IS a great victory, Jen! Your treadmill program really seems to be working for you and you seem to be focused better too. Great job!

    I think your list is great. Please - everyone - if it will make you more effective feel free to modify the check in as you wish. It might help others - like Tami did today. I am going to think about doing something like that with my check ins.

    Thanks Tami! I am loving these treadmill programs on the Peloton app. I am still in the free trial period so I don’t know the monthly cost yet but its worth it right now. I need the flexibility now that I wasn’t getting with Orange Theory and I know it will be cheaper.

    I just need to get consistent with every aspect of my plan to start to see results.

    Just checking in.
    Calories have been under all weekend, way under. I've been preoccupied with a bunch of stuff (mostly all related directly to my health goals). I'll try to make more of an effort to check in regularly, I know it only takes a minute. I expect my eating will go back to healthy/normal during the week now that things have settled.
    Water was under.
    Exercise, none, but I'm going to start adding some walks at least into my routine. I have a FitBit on its way and now I just need some comfortable shoes. I'm excited to start sharing some progress in this area! I have hated exercise pretty much most of my life, but I did develop a taste for walking and jogging about a year ago with the help of fun apps like Zombies, Run! I had an injury about a year ago from pushing myself too hard and never picked the habit back up, which is a shame really. Better late than never though!

    Hope you all had a great weekend! ^-^
