    Exercise: None

    Happy Monday everyone. Welp this weekend was a bust for me. I made my plans to stay on top of things but failed epically. Saturday I had a wine a cheese party where I obviously had too much cheese and wine and Sunday I was tired from Saturday that all I did was lay on my sofa all day and sleep/watch TV and eat whatever random foods I was given. I am up almost 3 lbs this weekend and I am sure it’s mostly from high sodium foods. It’s nothing a couple of days of lots of water, clean foods, and lots of exercise can’t fix. I’m going to follow my indulgent weekend tips I shared on my profile last week and just get myself right back on it. I’ve got this!

    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 (❤️+💪🏻 M, T, T, F)
    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.

    I'm in the 3s not the 4s :)
    I needed some good news from the scale.
    I know I am pretty and beautiful and all that jazz. But sometimes I feel not pretty, not beautiful, not attractive. And what even is pretty, and beautiful, and attractive?
    To me, on one level, it means someone wants to date you and finds you attractive. On another level it means looking good on Instagram videos.

    Sorry. I'm low key dear diarying.

    Goals:
    1. Stick to macros
    2. Log everything
    3. Exercise once a day (2 x cardio + 4 x strength) 6 times a week
    4. Skip for 2 minutes a day (work up to it)
    5. Drink 3 Liters of water

    WooHoo!!! Welcome to a new decade! Congratulations!!!

    Thank you 😀

    Good Morning, I hope everyone has an amazing upcoming week.
    I personally wish the weather where I am would warm up, but we are expected to get snow most of the week. I am so over winter. I would really love to be able to get outside a little more and the bad weather adds stress and time to my commute, which is already an hour and a half on a good day. However, I will still make exercise a priority, and focus on being under calories thus week.

    That’s a crazy commute. That’s awesome you are still able to focus on exercise and keeping calories under.

    Going the wrong direction again. I need to figure out how not to be derailed by holidays, and vacations. At least today has been good for exercise...

    Exercise: Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)

    Happy Tuesday team! Had a very successful day yesterday. This morning I am down 2 of the 3 lbs I gained over the weekend. Following those tips I posted has truly helped. I just got from today’s gym session and had my breakfast. I am ready to get this day started. My oldest son gets his braces taken out today yay!! And I plan on taking them to the zoo this afternoon providing they’ve done their homework for the day. They are currently on a 2 week break from school so they are doing a bit of homework each day so they don’t leave it all for the last minute. Fun times.

    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.

    I feel the same about winter. Where do you love @panda4153? That is quite the commute.

    I listened to a podcast recently where the speaker said she had three large bottles that she filled up at the beginning of every day. She had to get through all 3 to get her water goals. Sometimes I get so busy I don’t remember to get up and fill up my water bottle. Having a few at my desk would definitely help get the water in.

    Tuesday check in

    Calories: under
    Exercise: 60 minute walk
    Water: met goal

    Goals for Tomorrow:
    1. Swim and aqua fit exercises
    2. Walk 30 minutes minimum
    3. Get a grip on night time snacking

    I fell today when I was out will Molly. I twisted my back and jolted my shoulder. The pool should be good for that tomorrow. One of the reasons I dislike winter so much is I am always afraid of falling. I fell in 2009 and had 3 surgeries on my knee over a period 5 years. So I guess this is where the fear comes from.
