Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes
Steps: 8,125
Water: 100oz
Plan & Followed food: yes, although I had to substitute turkey for chicken, because I forgot to defrost. All other parts of plan were spot on!
Exercise 30min: no, because I broke my exercise up today instead of all at once.
Edit: I also wanted to add that they put a flyer up at work for a "The Biggest Loser Challenge" at work, and I am going to sign up tomorrow! It will run January 13 through mid-April(I think) and they have a couple prizes... and the results are percent-based instead of pounds, so it's more fair! I figured why not!6 -
Mini Accountability Challenge for NerdyPrincess92
6th Jan
Logged: yes
Under cals: yes
Exercise: yes - 30min walk
Water: 5 glasses (just over 1L) (I can't work out which oz measurements you're using so I use glasses or bottles)
Thoughts: still feeling unwell, had a headache most of the day and was hungry - until I realised I wasn't hungry I was just in my holiday snacking routine and my head was telling me I wanted something. After a few mins of being busy the feeling went away so clearly I wasn't really hungry.
Planning to make spag bol tomorrow night and will save the majority of my cals for that (cursed pasta) looking forward to it already!
I hope everyone has had a good day / week so far
Can we post randomly in here too or is it just for checking in?4 -

6th of January
1. Log everything : Yes
2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget : yes (ish)
3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. yes, walks
4. Report each day - no I didn't get chance yesterday to report here in the evening. First day no reporting but my son needed a good chat with me and we were all very tired & ready for bed after
I am full week logging now
I looked and my in and out and I have been creating deficit of nearly 500 calories a day average, so enough to lose a pound.
Good slow start, considering I had two meals and out but my calorie intake due to the to days out on average was bit on the high side for weight loss.
I will be trying to cut down few more calories.
I am having troubles sleeping and at night I am used to snacking few pieces of fruit to give me some quick energy. I have enough for dinner so I shouldn't need that. I would love to stop eating after dinner - any tips on night time snacking?

Hi
250ml is ±8.5oz.
I believe there are little gremlins that sit on our shoulders whispering in our ears ever day. I am sure they are responsible for enhancing smells of food, then they try and convince us that a tiny mouthfull will be ok. The moment we take that 1st bite, they jump for joy and then they really go for it. Before you realise it, you have eaten a lot more than just a tiny mouthfull of something that didn't even taste as good as you imagined it would be.
I am trying to learn how to ignore that pesky voice whispering in my ears.

This sounds like a great additional motivator Christine! I’m sure with your consistency as well you’ll be in with a great shot for some of those prizes 👍🏻 a little extra motivation never hurts!!

@nerdyprincess92 you did a great job yesterday! I use ounces for the water challenge feel free to post in here whenever you want! 0 -
Morning everyone, hope you all have a great day!
Positives for this morning - my daughter has been getting up really, really early recently which has been tough but this morning we made it to 5am and rather than dwelling and doing a silent scream at how tired I am, I decided just to get up and start the day. So glad I did! I’ve managed to do my yoga for the day, have a coffee, cook breakfast and prep the slow cooker for dinner in the 2 and a half hours I’ve been up already and I still have another half hour until I need to think about leaving for work. Feeling productive!
I’m doing the Yoga with Adriene 30 day Home programme on YouTube. Is anyone else following it here? I’ve loved it so far.4 -

@Coral333 thank you! My losses have been very slow over the last 6 months, so I am not super confident in placing in the contest! The motivation just sounds good to me! 0 -
