Daily Check-in: Wednesday 02/05
Calories: Under
Water: 2L
Steps: 11,403
Exercise: Rest Day
I had a very good day yesterday! It was my scheduled rest day although it’s pretty active with house chores and laundry. I got my steps in and I did SO much better with my snacking. I’ve been struggling with mindless snacking for a few months now. Planning my snack as a meal really helped out. I made sure I sat down as if it were a meal and it had a start and end time. No more snacking after that. It was a good day!
My February goals are......
Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
Run 5K on Saturday's
Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)
Wednesday’s are rest day.3 -

Exercise: Gym session (30 min cardio + 70 min strength)
TGIF am I right! I’m up extra early this morning and have hit the gym hard. Those dumbbells didn’t know what hit em! Trained like an absolute beast! I wish I could train this way all the time but some days are harder than others. I’ve got some appointments today which is why I had to get my workout down extra early. I wasn’t gonna make excuses not to do it. My weight is moving down at a snails pace but I’m just happy it’s going down the right direction. Tomorrow morning is my official weigh in day so fingers crossed I come in with a loss.

So, I was actually invited on a company trip. My food selections were not the best. Trying to go keto while being gluten free is not always easy. You would think salads would be a go-to food. But most places put croutons on salads. From past experiences ordering without is not easy either. I am back home to a corrective fresh start.

I’m pretty happy about another loss.
I’m going away with my son to a hockey tournament. I’m a little worried about the snacking that I will feel like doing.
But I’m going to the grocery and plan on getting some snacks on the healthier side. It will be hard to track so will watch my portions.
Me and another mom have plans to work out both mornings so I know I’ll get my steps in.
So I’ve got a few strategies in place. I know I won’t be perfect but better than I would have been a year ago.

Amazing loss Linda!1 -
Last weekend was something I've thought long and hard about this week as I tried to undo the damage. There is no reason for me to have eaten the way I did...NONE!
Here we are at another weekend, and I found this today, so thought I'd share.
I have often thought I was self-sabotaging, so I'm going to be brutally honest with myself this weekend in an attempt at better self-control. I have so many great reasons to go back to the mid-140s where I felt my best ever. I will focus on those reasons this weekend, plan better, and follow the plan.
How about y'all? Anyone else feel this way sometimes? What can we do to reverse this trend when we find ourselves in it? How will you approach this weekend? Let's share our thoughts and strategies for the benefit of everyone on the team.2 -

This chart is an eye opener! I am really bad with 1,3 and 4. I went back over my food diary for last weekend and I had eaten over 2000 calories in unplanned snacks. Also lately I have to keep reminding myself to be patient with my weight loss. It is a marathon not a sprint.
This weekend I am going to plan everything out ahead of time. I am going to have a set time when I am going to eat my meals and snacks. By spacing everything out I am less likely to overeat or even binge. I do plan some sanity snacks every weekend but lately I have been eating a lot more than those snacks. So by planning these into my day, mindless snacking is less likely to occur.1
