11/1:
Food - protein was good, carbs were a little high, overall calories were good.
Exercise - weekend day so no deliberate exercise, but did stay active putting up the Halloween decorations, cleaning out a bunch of stuff from the attic, putting up Thanksgiving decorations and cleaning up the garage (a busy day!).
Only problem with the super busy day is that I tweaked something in my lower back so I haven't done any exercise today. Will have to see how the back feels tomorrow to see if I can start exercising again.4 -
I’m in for November after a less than stellar weekend. Goals will be:
1. continue to focus on reducing after dinner snacking
2. Reduce carb consumption and increase protein- I’ve been on a bender for some reason
3. Cut back on alcohol- I don’t drink often but lately the weekends are adding up to making poor decisions
I’ve decided to stay off the scale because of weight lifting and I struggle wrapping my head around being okay with an increase. I’ll go by how my clothes fit for now and push numbers out of my head.5 -
1. Food on point
2. 6 mile training run plus another 7 miles walked at work.
Trying to figure out fitting in voting, training run, plus taking my daughter down to Mayo Clinic (about an hour away) for a couple of appointments tomorrow. It might be a very early morning....2 -

Snacking after dinner 😁 had a couple of nibbles midday but realized I was just bored and stopped. Evenings are my bigger trigger time.
Carbs/protein 😀 tried to stay mostly carnivore today so did well in both categories and had a deficit for calories.
Alcohol- really only have drinks on the weekend so I likely will only report at that time.3 -
3 Nov.
Carbs and cals fine, fats a little higher and protein a little lower than I'd ultimately like, but both acceptable. B3 and zinc continue to be my nemeses on micros, joys of being vegetarian (B3 is actually easily sorted with mushrooms, I just need to get some more nice fresh ones). No walk again today, bit tired from yesterday's busyness, and work activity, plus pacing up and down my hallway while dinner was in the oven, was it. Tomorrow work will be a sitting on my butt day, so more likelihood I will have energy for a walk.3 -

All Goals met. ✅ I even stayed UNDER on my (lowered) carb goal! I'm happy. Purchased my new treadmill yesterday so cold, wet, dreary days won't hold me back!

11/2:
logged and on=plan:
exercise:I took the walk, which I immediately regretted for about the first 7 minutes as I adjusted to the chill breeze. My toes were numb until about 2/3 the way through but they finally stopped throwing a fit.
Today is The Day. I do hope a bunch of people go early. Eldest's classes aren't over until 1:30. This is going to be super weird for me as I haven't voted on Election Day in years. I always early vote and that is at a different place. And a place where I played basketball away games in high school.4 -

Sorry. Meant to say today's place is a place where I played b-ball games. Some of you know this cuz I whined before but due to changes they made, group mods can't edit their own posts any more inside their Group. It's weird. So there will be typos, since I generally post in here before I've finished my first cuppa. My brain isn't awake completely yet.4 -
I have a bad habit of typing long, heartfelt messages and promptly hitting Done. Ah wells. I'm here. If I'm nothing else, I'm persistent even when boggling my weight and food and logging. I keep.coming back lol.

Oh hey, my goals are simply:
1. Log everything, everyday.

1. Food as logged.
2. 5 mile training run plus another 2 miles walked. Eldest daughter overslept and had to drive herself down to Mayo, so I got a stress free reading day!3 -

All looking good. Got a walk in today, yay!! I've decided not to sweat so much about micros that I'm bumping with supplements for now. At some stage I'll delve into how to increase them without drastic increases in calorie intake, but it can wait. Some things, like zinc, may just be nigh on impossible being vegetarian (particularly taking bioavailability into account, I really need to be getting double RDA).

All goals met except I'm still struggling with carbs. But I stayed under my calories, tracked everything, and got my new treadmill put together by myself! Those are wins in my book every day! ✅
16,168 steps.

11/03:
on-plan and logged:Mostly. Nonsense hit me with the unresolved election stress and oldest made herself b-day cookies. The bad news is that I had one cookie. The good news is I only had ONE cookie. So cals ended up at maintenance, and of course carbs were not good.
exercise:Nope. The Election line was short, but by the time I got back (20 min drive or so each way) there was no time left to workout and I was super tired after dinner. I'll make up for the missed day this weekend hopefully.

11/3:
Logged all the food - protein was good (over 100) but lower than I like (only 117g - aiming for at least 125g), net carbs were high at 111g.
Steps - total crap, was still resting my back from the weekend tweak - 2300 for the day.
Exercise - see above...
Good news is the back held up for a bike ride this morning, so back to exercising!!!4 -
11/3
Snacking 😁 no time to do so
Carbs/ protein 😀 carbs were a bit higher than I would have liked but I had a huge salad for dinner. I ate later than normal so was full when I went to bed- a feeling I don’t enjoy. Protein was over 100g and calories were a bit over my target deficit but still in an acceptable range.5
