    Tuesday Check in:
    Calories: under, carbs 22 net
    Water: over
    Exercise: Day one of 80 Day Obsession :)

    Today, I started my new workout program 80 Day Obsession. I did the full hour and was able to do most of the exercises. There were a couple that I had to modify the modifier but I'm OK with that. My goal is to do the best that I can do and NOT try to do the best that those on the TV screen can do. :)

    @TeresaW1020 yeah good for you with the exercises. That is totally the right attitude.

    STEPs -- nov 12 -- 9552

    Gym challenge- my trainer is back thankfully so did an hour strength training.

    Water - good

    Cals on track today, over yesterday bc of my cooking class.

    Question- if we want to switch our weigh in day do we do it anytime or does it have to be the start of the week?

    @bethanie0825 - I gave you credit for 6,000 on Sunday as I figure about 2,000/mile. Our stairmaster @TeresaW1020 can override me. LOL

    We don't have anything for 11/6. Was that a troublesome day with the Fitbit?

    @bethanie0825 - Great week for stepping, especially Saturday (SO inspiring!). If you told us you had broken your Fitbit because of all your stepping, we might have believed you!! 👍🏽👣😀

    @its_cleo - Hurray to your trainer being back, and getting to do strength training! 👍🏽💪🏾🔥

    @TeresaW1020 - You are being so smart about your new exercise program -- doing your best rather than the best that the already-fit person on screen can do! Keep us posted on the 80 days! 💪🏾👍🏽🔥

    @nbbaby - I hope the the colonoscopy goes well. I loved that you found a "cup half full" to appreciate! Hang in there! I know your Monday weigh-in wasn't what you wanted, but keep at it. You can do this! Are you starting to get back into your regular food groove? 😀

    @mrmcgrath - Yet another great day for you. Your consistency and commitment are so impressive! 🥳

    @digger61 - SO glad you had such a great Monday! You have been working hard! 😀

    @Wishusdonna - Wow! Monday was a great steps day! I hope you are getting in your water today. 10 glasses normally sounds great, but I know you have that higher goal right now. 👣🌊

    @Katmary71 - Great job easing up on the leg work so you can heal. I am envious of your decluttering and promising myself I will get in a little before bedtime! Oh, and a big hooray to the kittens and sleep situation improving! 💪🏾😀

    @hinemoa2088 - I will add my voice to the chorus Your step counts are SO impressive! 🎉👣

    @leonadixon - Nice stepping! Keep it up! 👍🏽👣

    @Jactop -Wow! Great weigh-in! 🎉 And some amazing step counts, too! You have been busy! 👍🏽👣

    @nbbaby no worries, you got this!

    Thank you for your support I appreciate it.
    Because my son has colon cancer & now it's all through him. I have to go for a Colonoscopy tomorrow and lung test. I'm nervous, I cant eat any food today and tomorrow till after the procedures. So hopefully all of the weight I gained in the last 5 days will go away.

    (Cup half full lol.)

    Yep, you're going to be totally cleaned out, I've been through that prep! Definitely weigh afterward, you're never going to have an emptier system! Good luck with the colonoscopy and lung test!

    You all are slaying it with the steps!

    @TeresaW1020 Very smart of you to modify the routine to fit you, the last thing you want is to end up hurt from trying to imitate a pro! Day 1 is down!

    @bethanie0825 great job, .8lbs down!

    @its_cleo what kind of cooking class are you taking? I'd love to take one!

    @AustinRuadhain that's dedication to try walking in the rain and cold!

    Tuesday check-in
    Calories under
    Exercise- recumbent bike
    Water over

    5 for 90
    1. Gym 3xs a week- went yesterday and am going tomorrow
    2. 30 minutes exercise a day- done
    3. Decluttering- did some, need to top off garbage can for tomorrow night and recycle can is full. @AustinRuadhain you just reminded me that I was in the middle of taking stuff to throw away in the garage, I got distracted when my Instant pot was done and am drinking my tea and forgot to finish!
    4. Social media- almost forgot to check in, spent a lot of time checking out eggplant recipes.
    5. Trigger foods- all good on the sugar front, I did sample a cauliflower tater tot at Trader Joe's and it wasn't worth the calories!

    New food discovery, fennel in herbal teas is amazing! I shouldn't be surprised, I love roasted fennel.

    Wednesday Check-in:
    Calories; Under, net carbs 19
    Water: over
    Exercise: Day 2 of 80 Day Obsession, 60 minutes of working the booty! :D

    I had today off and spent most of it cleaning the house and doing laundry. I'm really liking 80 Day Obsession so far. The trainer in the video is amazing!! I really like her a lot and that will certainly help. There were some moves today that were seriously difficult but I did them! :)

    @TeresaW1020 Let us know how your workout goes, I'm sure you'll do great! It's fun having a new challenge!

    @digger61 I hope today was a better day for you and hope your health problems improve, you got this!

    @nbbaby no worries, you got this!

    @Kres567 If you have a thermos and like tea I highly recommend it! I drink iced tea then save the better stuff for bedtime. I'd never hit my water without tea!

    @bethanie0825 oh no, your Fitbit died around the time of your hike, I hope it logged the steps! Congratulations on surviving it, what a huge accomplishment!

    @hinemoa2088 great steps! I've been hesitant to get a tracker because I don't walk much, you're killin it!

    Thanks for the tip! Is it cold or hot tea in your thermos?

    Alas and alack, my Wednesday check-in

    Calories - red over. :( Not by a huge amount, but I was having a horrible day, shivering with cold in the freezing office, and then when they finally fixed the boiler it went up to 27 degrees Celsius, which is British for unbearable. So, there was cake left round from birthdays/vendors and I had a few millionaire shortbread bites too many just out of frustration and the short-term feel good hit that sugar brings.
    Water 11/14 :( - and I was suffering last night. So, at least I have a head start now because I had to have a drink in the middle of the night.
    Exercise: 8873 steps :( So I didn't hit target. Made up for it today by walking into town instead of catching the bus. and it is raining so hard!!! Universe, I have paid.

    Tomorrow, we have a major charity fundraising event organised by our main TV channel - BBC's Children in Need, and most places of work do something for it. I'm wearing pyjamas all day for £1, and I am going to make up today and the weekend for the fact that there will be cake from a cake competition and bake sale. >:)o:)

    Hi team, my sincere apologies for being gone for a week. Between being pretty sick and then company and then a work trip, I have been sorely neglectful. I will do my current week weigh in this evening along with a long list of steps days. Spoiler alert - lots of water weight to lose this week... =>
