    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Tuesday, February 5, 2019
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: Yes - tons and tons and tons and tons of walking.
    Steps as of posting: 16,543

    Went to sea world today with the family. Lots of walking and carrying my 4 year old on my shoulders while walking about half the time :). Walked the dogs, walked the kids, walked myself, walked everyone everywhere!!!!

    Several NSVs today
    1 - walked a theme park with kids and had energy when I got home.
    2 - realized padding in backpack straps are necessary (no more built in padding anymore :)
    3 - wasn’t over the weight or size limit for anything
    4 - complimented by my neighbor on my weight loss and he said it’s motivated him to start exercising again.

    I'm sure it's a great feeling to be able to spend that quality time with your kids and be able to enjoy it without crashing at the end of the day. Best NSV possible.

    Mike, you're a motivation to anyone that knows your weight loss journey. By showing what you have done and continue to do, you inspire others to achieve their goals as well (at least you have for me since I've joined the group :) ).

    Challenge
    2/5
    tracked: yes
    calories: yes
    exercise: yes

    I was offered a ticket to a suite at the Sixers game and I knew there would be food there. So I made sure I got to the gym as soon as I was done work to have a huge calorie deficit. I went there with over 1200 calories left. And when I got there I ate mostly salad, sushi and chicken! Ok ... I had one cookie ... but I figured one wouldn’t hurt with all of the other good decisions I made.

    Sun: no
    Mon: yes
    Tue: yes

    Great idea to plan ahead and be prepared for what might be available. It was good that you were able to take the time before the game to take care of yourself so that you could enjoy the game.

    Missing a Tuesday Weigh-In:

    Good evening!
    Last week 209.6
    Today, 210.
    I don’t think the Super Bowl snacks helped much.
    😏

    Not a big gain - I'm sure you'll be able to bounce back this week.

    Feb 5 mini challenge

    Tracked: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes (70 min walking on treadmill)
    Water: yes

    I was disappointed to realize how 'strenuous' it was for my treadmill walk. I had a small incline and tried to vary the speed (averaged 3.6 mph, including warm up and cool down) - was surprised how much I was 'glistening'.

    I expect to be spending a lot of time sitting in traffic today. We have freezing rain and I have to drive back and forth across the city.

    Mike, you're a motivation to anyone that knows your weight loss journey. By showing what you have done and continue to do, you inspire others to achieve their goals as well (at least you have for me since I've joined the group :) ).

    I agree! Nicely said!

    Track food:
    Yes
    Under calories: Yes. Ate more than I normally do, but still had over 1,000 calories left at the end of the night!
    Exercise: Yes - 50 minutes on elliptical and 15 minutes strength

    Exercise...it's great for your heart, lungs, muscles, mind AND it allows you to eat more food!! A win/win!!

    That's textbook on how to do an event with food....get to the gym and bank some exercise calories and then make some good food choices!! Glad you had room for that cookie!!

    Yeah, but it's less than half of a pound. It'll be gone in no time. I hope you were at least cheering for the Patriots, because otherwise that was the MOST BORING SUPERBOWL EVER!!!!!
