    Tracked Half way
    Under calories No
    Steps 9006 tracked
    Exercise chest/triceps strength workout

    I have been in the house all weekend with the weather so it has definitely effected my mood. We even got some snow yesterday which I hate! I did my workout and tracked half the day. Got somewhat healthy take out, lettuce wraps and watched the season premier of this is us last night with a friend. It was a good way to end the week. I will get steps in tonight trick or treating with the kids.

    I am off to go on a lonnnnnng walk with Alyssa (daughter) and Aspen(Husky) ... I really missed it yesterday :)

    I am soooo jealous, I am going crazy with this weather here this week and being stuck inside.

    You can come to California and walk with us :p
    We are opposite coasts. We had our first snow here yesterday which is early even for us!

    Today, I had to take measurements and progress pictures and it was not fun. I know having these will be very motivating along the way but that sure was hard seeing the cold, hard truth 🙈

    I have been taking my measurement monthly on the first of the month. Hopping for some NSV’s tomorrow!

    Daily Post October 30
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 128oz
    Steps 9386
    Exercise 25min treadmill

    Yesterday was grocery shopping day so that's where most of my steps came from. I just hopped on the treadmill for a bit to get them up to my goal for the day. It seems like it's going to be a nicer day out today so the kids should have a nice time trick or treating. It will be interesting to see how many people partake.

    Loss w/ MFP since 4/17/20 - 60.2lbs

    While I'm not thrilled about the 0.2lb loss for the week I'm also not real surprised. After losing almost 3 pounds last week and then dealing with TOM I wasn't expecting much.

    @lindamtuck2018 I forgot to weigh in this morning. I had to run to the doctor for my flu shot appointment (also forgot my watch at home and lost some steps :/ ).

    ok if I weigh in tomorrow morning?

    Could I also switch my weigh in day for November to Fridays?

    I started walking laps around my kitchen during the first stay at home order to get my steps in (it was 110*F here) and I still find myself walking laps when working from home.

    Do you have any projects you can start like painting, purging, organizing?

    I hope your kids had lots of fun. We went over to see my granddaughters dressed up. They didn’t trick or treat this year but had a family fun night instead. I think your weight loss is great. I think back in my younger days I always gained weight durning my TOM.

    @lindamtuck2018 I forgot to weigh in this morning. I had to run to the doctor for my flu shot appointment (also forgot my watch at home and lost some steps :/ ).

    I got you moved to Friday’s. I will get your weight in the morning.

    Lockdown sucks! I agree with Andrea and try a hobby or something to keep your mind occupied.
