    Today, I'm watching videos from the Sugar Summit. They are free videos this week from some of the leading experts in their fields. I'm hoping to learn a lot and thought I would share it with you if you are interested. :)

    Weekend check in......

    Not so good. I have been eating my stress away but actually that isn’t working, it just adds more stress. All fine and good in the moment (or so you tell yourself) but then when you have to put those clothes on or step on the scale you realize you just added to your stress.

    So I am concentrating on three things this week, water, track, move. These are the things that work for me.

    The Beat Your Best Challenge!
    Exercise: My challenge this week will be more minutes of martial arts-related exercise each day. I keep saying I want to get in a groove of doing this regularly at home, but I am not doing it consistently. So I will start today with at least 5 minutes of forms at lunch.

    Happy Monday everyone! Just catching up from the weekend. We were away camping in the mountains so didn’t have a lot of time to check in. Thanks everyone for your encouraging posts and check ins! I am so motivated by the exercise and weight losses!

    Started my day and week right by walking to the train - 5K which felt good. Looking forward to the week - I did some meal prep yesterday when we got home so have some good options for the week. I also took a day and a half of vacation this week so looking forward to some me time!

    Great job putting the last behind you @sunshineplace! I have realized that too - I never feel better when I try to comfort myself with food. Someone suggested going for a walk or getting on the treadmill. I know the energy from working out makes me feel so much better but it’s mentally remembering to do it in the moment and having the energy to do it in the moment. I hope you have a better week!

    THE WEEKLY GROUP CHALLENGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE WORK WARRIORS
    2spzmhb16g5c.png

    The Beat Your Best Challenge!!!
    The premise is to try to improve on something each day of the week. Pick as many or as little of the examples below. Customize it to you. Post any suggestions you have for everyone to see. Do whatever suits your needs.
    ~ Exercise minutes: Try to increase the time each day.
    ~ Steps: Try to walk more than the following day.
    ~ Stairs: Can you walk up one flight of stairs more than yesterday?
    ~ Water: Increase your intake over the week.
    ~ Calories burned: Can you sweat a little more through the week?
    ~ Calories decreased: Can you give your jaw a little bit of a rest?
    ~ Fruit/Vege: Increase by one serving each day.
    ~ Relax/Meditation: Can you squeeze in a little more Me time each day?

    Im going to increase my steps and exercise each day. Looking forward to it! We’ve got this Mission Slimpossibles!

    @sunshineplace - I am so sorry to hear about the stress. I just a coupe of days ago was journaling about the difference between doing things that make me a little more comfortable in the moment, and things that help me be more peaceful. It's great you are concentrating on ways to really take care of yourself. I hope things go better this week! 🕊️ 😌

    @TeresaW1020 - Enjoy the video series! That kind of thing can be very inspiring! 🚀 😊

    @Wishusdonna - Wow! You are doing great with your walking! 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️
    I hope the doctor's visit goes well. 🍎

    @apple852hk - Great plan! Damage control when travelling can be such a challenge. Safe travels today! ✈️

    Weigh in day: Monday
    Starting Weight: 274.8
    Previous Weight: 267
    Today's Weight: 266.6

    I’m honesty surprised that I went down. Last night I ate 3 slices of pizza and some bacon cheese bread. As soon as it hit me, I passed out :neutral: not a good feeling. Also had a binge on Saturday :( 3 donuts, 2 gummy worms, 4 egg things from Tim Horton’s, smore frappe, and 2 combos from Tripple Ohs.
    My goals this week are to eat 20:4 IF, drink more water and only eat things that I can properly track and track them.
    Good news from the week, I did ride 3 days to work and a few small rides on the other days. I also went and did some axe throwing, which was surprisingly a nice little workout lol.

    Hey I just managed 100 days straight of logging in to MFP, even if it hasn't let me post here!

    Checking in for yesterday - calories under, water fine, exercise 14054 steps. A lot of them very soggy steps!

    Still down from my initial weigh in, but I had to give some of it back. I ate everything in sight this weekend, and a few things that weren't. 😂. Really just a lot more salt and carbs than usual, although I was way over in calories.

    Checking in for Monday...

    What a great day I had! I didn’t allow my stress to undermine my efforts and it felt fabulous to be in control. I want to remember that next time I want to stress eat.

    My calories were great, I even had rollover points which rarely happens. Water intake was good and I tracked everything. Movement was lacking but I am proud of the other work I did. It’s a good start!

    Goals for today. Repeat repeat repeat.

    Thank you @Kres567 and @AustinRuadhain for your words of encouragement.

    Daily update:
    Food - ate all the plane food as I thought such small amounts until I logged it all after landing. Quick panini lunch and only afterwards realise it's so many calories.
    Water - drunk lots of coffee instead of just water
    Exercise - after landing walked a lot around terminal and getting to transport hubs.
    Goals for tomorrow - get back to routine of eating small meals with at least one veg portion.

    @kdv12 - Brilliant loss! Congratulations!

    @apple852hk - It sounds like you worked to make better choices than the automatic, which is GREAT. Restaurant/catered food can be surprisingly high in calories! You aren't the only one to have had that kind of surprise!
    I hope your trip keeps going well! Are you in Asia now? If so, getting in veggies at each meal may get easier!

    @AustinRuadhain The other way round. I'm based in Asia but now I'm in UK for the whole month of Fat2Fit challenge. I have access to a kitchen. But green veggies I'm use to aren't here. I normally steam food.
    Thanks for your support and reassurance on my surprise of calories in catered food.

    Tuesday Check in
    Calories: under
    Water: over
    Exercise: 40 minutes on the treadmill

    I spent a great part of my day meal planning and making a shopping list. I've decided to go low carb for the foreseeable future and see if I can get my weight moving downward faster than a snail's pace. I'm sick of it!! Watching all these videos from the Sugar Summit have been very motivating. :)

    Tuesday Check in
    Weigh in day: Monday
    Calories: under
    Exercise: did yesterday still have to do today but plan on floor exercises and biking

    Not much is new. My weight is back to where it was before I went out-of-town weekend before last. I went grocery shopping and stocked up on a lot of veggies, some of which I've never cooked with before. I love having a fridge full of fruits and veggies, love all that color! It's 103 today, I think my radishes may not make it, but tomatoes and herbs are doing great. I'm changing my hair color (just dark brown to light brown) later this week along with getting it cut. Hope it turns out ok! Alright, enough procrastinating, time to work out! Have a great day everyone!
