    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Wednesday, February 6, 2019
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: Yes - 25 minutes light effort elliptical / 10 minutes stretching / 30 minutes weights (chest, biceps and triceps) / 20 minute family walk
    Steps as of posting: 17,108

    My youngest turned 4 today. Worked out hard and saved calories — had 2 pieces of cake :) Ended up having way more carbs than usual today ( and sugar). My stomach is a bit upset from the cake and I feel like I’ve retained ALL of the water in the world from the excess carbs today.

    If I wasn’t keeping track of food and exercise (CICO) I would have thought I totally failed today. I may be bloated and need some tums, but apparently I’m still doing it right :)

    Now that I’m in a good rhythm during the weekdays I am feeling good again. I have been weighing myself daily as well and am hoping for a good weigh-in Friday. But honestly I probably gonna lose it if I go yet another week in a row without a nice one.

    Sun: no
    Mon: yes
    Tue: yes
    Wed: yes

    You’re scaring me, Erik! The scale can be a fickle b****, don’t give her that much power!!

    Very insightful, Mike! Yes, CICO doesn’t lie, as long as our numbers are close to accurate!

    Feb 6 mini challenge

    Tracked: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes (60 min walking on treadmill)
    Water: yes

    Happy it was a 'yes' for me yesterday. But I'm not happy with my food choices. 46% of my calories-in were made up of a cookie, a small scone, and 2 tiny glasses of wine. That means I'm not getting enough of the nutritious foods.

    Full house today! I've been working all day, left the house before 7 and won't be home until after 22.00. it's been a long one but I've done a fair bit of walking and lots of steps. I know this isn't enough for me to really shift the weight in a hefty amount but I have 1000 calories left that I could eat and won't! Good day all round.

    DATE: Thursday, February 7, 2019
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: Yes - 45 minutes medium effort elliptical / 10 minutes stretching / 2, 20 minute walks
    Steps as of posting: 20,076

    Just scheduled a Dexa scan for Sunday morning. Much like measurements, I wish I would have done this at the beginning of my journey. Still psyched (and a bit nervous) to see where my body fat % is and this will give me a baseline for the next phase of lifting heavy, gaining muscle and doing recomp.

    Sorry that things have been rough at work lately, Nicole. Exercise is good for stress, so just do more!! Hope things settle down soon!

    That sounds like a cool measurement tool, Mike! Whatever it tells you, don’t let it diminish all you have accomplished if the numbers aren’t what you had hoped for!
