Steps for 10/20-11,064
I didn't work out today because I got almost no sleep last night and I had to stay and work longer than normal. I plan to start a new Beachbody video series called Piyo. I hope it doesn't kill me!
5 for 90
1. Make some time for myself—I did my Bible study this morning
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day—Not today!
3. Hydrate-I’m fully hydrated
4. Give up a “Trigger Food”—I came home tired and had a cup of coffee and too much dark chocolate. I’m going to stop buying it for awhile since it now seems to be another trigger food for me.
5. Thankful—I’m thankful for my Beachbody coach who is really taking the time to help me with not only my workouts but with my Keto eating. Today we had to Facetime chats that were very beneficial.

And I'm still feeling pants...
Getting so frustrated with it all I have been in tears with it. Gah!
2 days of greenzoning, though, and my overall week is only 55 into the red, with a deficit of 3115. So, no surprises, maintained at 153lbs, but I have a chance to drop this week.
1. Time - enough to knit 4 rows of my jumper.
2. Exercise - 12568 steps on Saturday.
and 7223 on Sunday. That was mainly housework.
3. hydration, am really bad at getting to 14 on a weekend. 13 and 12.
4. Trigger food - husband bought me a wine after a gig. Shoulda said no.
5. Yays - my pretty avocado bottle to drink my water from.
So many good things, here. I know it's hard to maintain good cheer when the needle is not moving....this has been my story, really, for several weeks. Some here and there but then the up-creep - UH-GAIN.
We're thinking of you, cheering you on... => You have done so well, and in some scary moments of uncertainty. It is frustrating - is there something you can do differently to break the hamster out of the wheel...? Maybe only weigh once a week, if you're weighing daily, for example? Start your daily check-in with an NSV from your journey....something to help remove some of the hyper focus from the number and, hopefully, enable you to see the very big picture that is a well-rounded story of your journey.1 -
Monday check-in

@AustinRuadhain that recipe sounds amazing! Have you made it yet? One replacement question, what's a good swap for coconut milk? I think I'm one of the only people who doesn't like coconuts. I really want to try making curries and they're all coconut milk.
As you can tell by my post I make myself wrong too, I feel I should have more control of my eating. I always read posts of people moderating and eating one square of chocolate a day and I can't do that but wish I could!
@TeresaW1020 let us know how Piyo goes, it looks fun! I have a hard time working out on no sleep too, it's hard to summon the energy and motivation.
@Wishusdonna Great job maintaining!
5 for 90
1. 30 minutes exercising YES, did more.
2. Go to gym 3xs a week Went today
3. Trigger foods- avoided again, day 3. Having food dreams but at least last night I was making artichokes!
4. Declutter house- great dent in getting clothes together to donate or throw away. It's more emotional than I expected.
5. Social media- did better because I was decluttering! Checked in here.

Hi @AustinRuadhain - it's true, I'm being slightly hopeful. I do want to drop a bit more... eventually. But let's face it, I dropped 18lbs or so this year already, and it's not my priority while I'm still sickly.
Anyway, no green zone yesterday, but didn't eat more than I burned.
1. Time - alas, Mondays is podcast record day, which is great fun, but also slightly stressy, and very time-consuming. Burned the midnight oil on this one.
2. Exercise - 9773 steps. So close!
3. hydration, 14 glasses, but so late!
4. Trigger food - second hot chocolate, because of burning that midnight oil. I think I needed it to wind down though.
5. Yays - my podcast got done!0 -

@its_cleo - What a great day! And thank you for reminding us that elections are a privilege. 🙏🏽
@Wishusdonna - Yay to doing so well on podcast day! Neutral zone calories for a day on deadline sounds pretty great, and it will all average out. 👍🏼
And a big yes to @raleighgirl09 's great questions and comments:

@hinemoa2088 - Zowie! Great stepping! 🔥🚶🏿Great job getting out and moving!
@Jactop - Congratulations on a brilliant weigh-in! 🌟 And, wow, what a great day for steps! 🔥🚶🏿
@Katmary71 - I have not made that recipe yet. I just shared it because I had just bookmarked it and I loved the spices and the combination of black beans and pumpkin. I myself plan to skip the coconut milk. I will put in a nut milk, likely unsweetened plain cashew milk. True confessions here -- when cooking, I shop for recipes and then change them to suit before I make them. (I also like to bake occasionally but don't do this with baking, as that is often all about the chemistry. ⚗️)

Yep. I so feel you. Different people have different brains and bodies. All we can do is figure out what works for ourselves. 🤔 🤓
@digger61 - Zowie, what a great day! Especially all those steps! 🔥🔥🔥
@TeresaW1020 - I am so impressed at all the work you are doing to experiment with your diet. And the PiYo video sounds exciting and a little scary! Go, Teresa, go! 🤩
@TrishasTime -You check-in made me smile. I hope Monday went better for calories! It's a great place to focus, for sure! 👐👍🏼1 -
Hey Team - I’m back home and trying to get back into the swing of things. I hope everyone is doing well and having a good month. Everyone sure seems focused on their goals for the 90 days. I’ll be weighing in this week and trying to get back into the daily checkins as we head into November.4

Tuesday check-in
Calories under
Exercise bike
5 for 90
1. Exercise 30 minutes. Lasted an hour but I've killed my second bluetooth of the year! I'm hoping Costco has a decent one. I'm lost without music!
2. Avoid trigger foods. OK, I grocery shopped and the treats I bought were artichokes, butternut squash, and asparagus, though the little girl in me squealed when spotting a 99 cent Lindor candy bar in line! I really wanted the latter when my tire blew on the way home and I waited an hour for AAA and had nothing to eat!
3. Social media did better than usual though almost forgot to check in.
4. Decluttering house- took 4 bags of clothes to Goodwill and they only had room for one, will go back. Garbage cans full.
5. Go to gym- tomorrow is gym day. I'll have to use regular headphones and can't use arm weights at the same time but should work for elliptical and bike. I'm totally dependent on music to get through cardio!1 -
Calories in the green zone yesterday!
1. Time - yes, got some time to watch 2 comedy specials. After that though, an unwanted midnight search for car documents!!!
2. Exercise - 11776 steps.
3. hydration, 13/14 so close!
4. Trigger food - some dark chocolate, because I forgot to take my pill at dinner again - end of course now though.
5. Yays - well halfway there on my tax return!1 -
NO TRIGGER FOODS CHALLENGE
Hey teams!! I am so sorry that we forgot to post this week's challenge. I'm a new captain so I'm claiming newbie brain and will work harder to set myself a reminder.
Since we have only four days left for this week why don't we focus harder on one of our 5 for 90 and say NO TRIGGER FOODS for the rest of the week?
Post here in the challenge and in your own team threads what trigger food(s) you are going to completely give up and maybe by really focusing on it for this challenge will help carry you through the rest of the year!

After this month I'm going to move my weigh-in day to Friday. I was down almost two pounds earlier this week, but with my workouts that I do on Monday and Tuesday's my muscles don't have time to drop the water weight. At least that is my way of thinking.
I'm also giving up candy (Halloween candy in my office and my dark chocolate at home) for the No Trigger Food Challenge this week. I do have a wedding to attend on Saturday and might have a tiny sliver of cake, which is a food that I rarely eat and just adore.

Great loss Teresa! I find the same thing happens to me after workouts. And I remember Tess5036 shared s9me 8 formation that totally confirmed it for me.1 -

1. Make some time for myself—YES (allergy-friendly baking project for scouts - so fun!)
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day—YES
3. Hydrate-YES I went over
4. Year End Focus - NO Tuesdays are packed for me; I am going to have to figure out where I could fit something in; I do have it planned for next Tuesday now, so progress!

@fleetwood1 - Great weigh-in! 👍🏽
@Wishusdonna - What a lovely day! 💐 And a big congratulations on the tax returns! 🎉
@Katmary71 - 🎈 Hurray to the treats you chose and a Halloween BOO 👻 to the tire blowing out. Your inner little girl squealing about Lindor on sale made me smile! I so feel you on that. 😀
@sunshineplace - Thanks for checking in. It's always lovely to hear your voice. Glad you are taking care of yourself. 👐 Focusing on moving more for me often means getting outside for walks, which can be so therapeutic.
@Kres567 - It's lovely to have you back. Ease into things as suits you. 👐
@TeresaW1020 - Thank you so much for setting up the Trigger Food challenge! Love it! 👍🏽1 -
I am going to avoid sugar. So I am saying NO to the 🍬sweet treats🍬 at multiple social events this week and I will not be opening any Halloween candy at my house!TeresaW1020 wrote: »NO TRIGGER FOODS CHALLENGE
