Hi everyone! I’ve been a little absent this week as we’ve come away for a last minute family trip but I’m planning to catch up on all the happenings as soon as I’m back!
@pkg1998 could you roll over my weight from last week please? I don’t have any scales to weigh in with at our holiday cottage.
Have a brilliant weekend everyone!
@Coral333 Absolutely! Sometimes the last minute trips are the best - have a great time.0 -

I don't remember if I posted for Wednesday.
Thursday and Wednesday were both a no. This week has been a struggle. I have not been able to accomplish my goals this week. I'm trying to get caught up from last week and trying to keep ahead this week.
@brandi_84 We’ve all been through struggles. It’s great that you’ve acknowledged it and are focused on this week.0 -
Food Challenge
I tried Baked Honey Mustard Chicken. It was ok but it seems that when I bake chicken there is a lot of grease in the pan and makes the sauce watery. My daughter loved it though.

@brandi_84 The recipe looks delicious, but I have the same problem with watery baked chicken. It tends to make the sauce not so good. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions?0 -
Happy Birthday @cmhubbard92!
I've fallen off the wagon this week. I had a athletic event for my daughter last weekend that I worked at and it wiped me out. I have been exhausted and without energy for days. I'm picking it up again today though - I don't want to lose the progress I've begun in the last couple of weeks. To bring my reporting up to date:
Mini Challenge (10/15 - 10/17)
yes, no, no
no, no, no
yes, no, no
Steps are going to be terrible this week and water as well. I'm not going to let it keep me off track though, just turn the page and keep going! I hope everyone is ending the week well and has a lovely weekend to look forward to!
@Calli1616 I wish there was a way to take care of weekend events such as this and still be prepared for the busy week ahead. It’s great that you’re getting back on track now as opposed to using the “I’ll start on Monday” idea like I tend to do.1 -
Ok I need to get my act together and not use the lack of sunlight and cold rainy weather as an excuse to not eat healthy. I’m taking a break these last weeks of the month to regroup and I’ll rejoin in November.

@LMK02020 The weather has more of an impact on us than we tend to think. It can be both positive and negative. Positive - when the cooler weather hits it’s easier to do more activities outside. Negative - when it’s cold and rainy it makes you just want to stay in bed and not do anything (including cook). Enjoy your break (but not too much
). 0 -
Started my road trip yesterday on my way to Missouri to visit my parents and made a pit stop in Mississippi to visit my youngest at college. Road trips are always hard when it comes to exercise and eating. I use it as an excuse to not work on my goals. Doing it different this time - drank water (although not as much as I should have) on the drive yesterday and exercised in the fitness center at the hotel this morning before heading out on the final leg of my journey. Packed clothes for exercise while in Missouri, but will be staying with my parents so I will have little input on what we eat. Going to focus on portion control and trying to stay away from the sweets. Wish me luck!4

It's my 10k tomorrow. I'm letting myself have pizza tonight as and calling it carb loading. Haha!
Once I'm home (Thurs) going to be really strict. I've got 3lbs to hit two milestones - 130lbs lost and into the 10 stone bracket. I'd like to do it for my birthday (Halloween).2 -

@annabananamc Nice job and good decision to combine if necessary. BTW - it’s October 0 -
Ugh 😩 I woke with a terrible man cold today.
I’ve been thinking about: do I cave to my craving and eat poutine for brunch?
Whenever I get sick I want to eat high calorie, high carb, salty foods. Particularly poutine and a burger.
The voice in my head tells me to “go ahead, eat. Comfort your feelings with cheesy salty warm food. It will make you feel better”. I guess I could eat half a portion of each and just know I’ll go over my calories today. Or I can ride out the cravings. Internal ping pong.1 -

Week 10/21 - 10/28
FOOD CHALLENGE
Since it is October and most associate it with Halloween, we are going to eat CANDY... haha kidding.😉 We are going with the other aspect of Halloween..well really just color Orange (most associated with pumpkins and jack-o-lantern.) Since candy is sweet we are going to stick to the fruit side and not the veggie side this week. (See note below on what a pumpkin is... if you want to throw it in we would not count it against you!)
YOU NEED TO EAT AN ORANGE OR GOLD COLORED FRUIT
AT LEAST THREE (3) OUT OF THE SEVEN (7) DAYS.
THESE MAY INCLUDE:
ORANGES, MANDARIN ORANGES, TANGERINES, TANGELOS, KUMQUATS, GRAPEFRUITS & POMELOES.
THE FRUIT MUST BE EATEN IN ITS UNPROCESSED FORM
(NOT ORANGE YOGURTS, SMOOTHIES, OR BEVERAGES)
NOTE:
Are pumpkins a fruit or a vegetable? What is the difference between the two?
Answer
A pumpkin, from a botanist‘s perspective, is a fruit because it’s a product of the seed-bearing structure of flowering plants. Vegetables, on the other hand, are the edible portion of plants such as leaves, stems, roots, bullbs, flowers, and tubers. Because pumpkins are less sweet and more savory from a culinary perspective, we categorize them as a vegetable.
EXERCISE CHALLENGE:
Since we as a team have had a lot of stress related posts, let's take time to push that stress away. Find your favorite "get rid of the stress" video (meditation, yoga, stretching or any other "de-stresser" video). Let's try to work it in our weekly exercise plan once or twice this week. List a link here and add it to our spreadsheet on the video link page. If you want to share why you chose it or a review feel free to add that in too!
