Check-in 10/20
Steps: 7619
Calories: under 1000 ☹️
Water: 86oz
Exercise: just a dog walk
I know that I need to better with calories and today is better. Work has been stressful this week. Those who work in a hospital know what a Joint Commission survey is and we are in the middle of a 4-day survey. I help to man the “command center” and one of our surveyors is really tough. So, it’s was a long day.
To blow off steam, I went for a hike after work. There is a trail in my development that gains almost 200 feet elevation in less 0.25 miles. It’s a staircase built into the side of a foothill that has over 330 steps. We take the steps up and hike the trail back down.
Great job ... missing steps for 10/190 -

Thank you @azkunk & @Megan_smartiepants1970 I'll look into the Instapot. I hope it's big. My crockpot was 12 qt size, huge, so I could make a big family meal with lots of leftovers.1

I have an InstaPot, but have not used it yet and have had it for 6 months.
I love my slow cooker. I think they both have a use in homes.
The InstaPot, to me, is intimidating, and frankly I haven't found anything that is faster to make in an InstaPot vs the old fashioned way. Hoping one day I will find an actual use for it.1 -

@lindamtuck2018 . I love my Apple watch. I do miss my fitbit, for the bingo challenges and such. Apple's challenges are meh.
My NSV is having the energy to spend time with my family doing things besides watching tv.

@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
You recipe sounds good but I despise milk. Just curious does the super greens change the taste and where do you get them from? I ordered some from epicure once and ended up giving them to my daughter. Another stellar day from you!
@Tazaria87
Well done bumping up your steps! You are very inspiring and have great insight. I love those quotes!
@missGYST
Nice loss! I think your plan for the week is great.
@azkunk
Great way to relieve stress. Your hike sounds challenging. Make sure to get those calories above 1000. You need substance to do a hike like that. I can’t walk up the 6 flights to my apartment without dying so kudos to you for doing all those stairs.
@eaturpasta
Well done on meeting your goals! What is a bingo challenge with Fitbit?
@shortyjmorgan1
It has been flaky for awhile. Very frustrating!
@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE @Megan_smartiepants1970 @azkunk @ScorpioGirl70
I think I would be intimidated by the instant pot also. If I did get one I would have to get one with an air fryer. I use my slow cooker a lot especially on days I have to use the car. That way everything is cooked when we get home. I am going to research recipes for the instant pot and see if it would be beneficial to buy one.

The protein shake tastes like a chocolate shake, but if you don't like milk, you could omit the milk for coffee or a little water with a banana?
I use Green Vibrance, (it's a bit pricey IMO);
But Amazing Grass is also good (and a little less pricey);

Yes, @ScorpioGirl70 said it. I feel really intimidated by all of those bells & whistles, buttons on that Instapot. I think I need to do the same and look up some recipes to see if I'd actually use it.
Thanks for the shares! Have a great Thursday

Tracked Yes
Under calories Yes
Steps 17,865
Exercise 39 min 10 rounds boxing workout
Yesterday was a good day all around. Weighed in less, tracked all day and didn’t overeat. Still need to incorporate more fruits and veg. Had some but could definitely benefit from more. I was able to get in a short dog walk and longer 45 min walk with my neighbor. Weather has switched back to being summer like and humid for a couple of days here.3 -

I also have an instapot and like it. I believe mine is 6 quarts and works for my family of 4. I was scared of it at first but once you get the hang of it not scary at all. I bought the air fryer lid for my instapot since I didn’t want another large piece of equipment to store. It works good but not sure if the other options is better.1
