I am now curious what a Banff is. I'll have to Duckduckgo it.
I reread my Valentine post and it sounds a bit yuck. To possibly redeem myself I'll share something I did for my wife. I made a promise that for a year she would never have wilted flowers. So every week and sometimes twice a week I bought her a bouquet.
My steps for 2/13 are 20169.0 -

Banff is a national park in Canada that is supposed to be spectacular! On my bucket list!!!

Thursday Check In
Calories: right on my limit
Exercise: bike routine before work and lots of steps at work
Water: if I could count Diet Coke, I’d be great!
Tomorrow: try to resist!
NSV, I was in the workroom at a school today and there were cupcakes that looked great. I was able to resist by thinking, “they are probably stale and as much flu as there is around, someone probably sneezed on them.” I’m not taking credit for that strategy though. It was shared with me in a different group! But it DID work!2 -
Daily Check-in: Thursday 02/13
Calories: Under ! 🎉
Water: 2.250L
Steps: 23,712
Exercise: Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻) and an hour of Pilates
The scale is down again today so alls good. I’ve been sticking to the plan and managed to come in under yesterday. I did a trial session of Pilates yesterday evening and I’m planning on buying 10 sessions starting in March. I’ve been put on a wait list so fingers crossed I can join. I’ve just had my breakfast and about to get the crew ready for work/school then headed for my last gym session for the week. Plan on changing it up a bit from the treadmill this morning. Maybe the step climber or the elliptical? I’ll see which one I feel inspired to do. I have to say how happy I am with how my snacking has improved. Making it like a meal has been a game changer. I still have my weak moments where I go in search for something but usually if I do grab something it will be a fruit. I’ve allowed myself a few sweet treats for dessert to satisfy that craving while making it a part of my planned meal and staying within goal. I’ve also really improved on weekends. I’m planning on maintaining again this weekend and it will be hard as I have a wine and cheese dinner planned on Saturday night. How am I gonna pull that one off?
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.2 -

Happy Saturday! Welp this wasn’t the loss I was hoping for this week but it’s a loss. It’s been going at a snails pace so I don’t know why I’m slightly disappointed about this if it’s exactly what was expected. However on a much better note, my measurements are all down as well which I can totally now feel in my clothes! I’m no longer doing the dance to get my trousers over my hips!! And I’m no longer sucking it in to close my belt lol. So good change is happening I just need to learn a little more patience. Slow and steady.....slow and steady.

Saturday check in:
Calories: way over
Exercise: none and steps not met
Water: not near enough
Week 3 goals:
1. Stay within my calorie goal average for rest of week.
2. Swim Wednesday and Thursday
3. Walk minimum 30 minutes Monday to Saturday
4. 9000 steps/ day Monday to Saturday
5. Get up and move every time my Fitbit reminds me
Today was a bust. My binge eating got the better of me. Unfortunately, even though I have done all the steps to learn to manage it, it rears it head every now and then. I didn’t close my diary as I didn’t want to know what I would weigh in 5 weeks if I ate this way every day.

Definitely sounds like some water weight. Drink lots of water as this will help.1 -

Travelling makes things difficult. I am sure things will bounce back to normal now that you are home.1 -

Meal prep will make a big difference. I am retired so I don’t meal prep as such but I do know what I am having each night for supper. It makes a difference in ordering takeout for us.1 -
All I can say is, I’m glad this weekend is behind me and I hope I can show some self-control tomorrow and the rest of the week! It’s time for...
