It was 90 during my walk today and I totally regretted it 🥵 We had a couple of days in the 70s which was a total tease. I am so ready for winter.

Good afternoon. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
My daily/weekly goals are:
Stay within macros
Stick to my workout program
Drink 128oz of water daily
My co-workers and I are on Day 2 of Planksgiving, if anyone else would like to try it (photo attached).
I am looking forward to participating in this challenge!
I think I'm adding myself to the Planksgiving 😁0 -
@lindamtuck2018 - my weigh in day with the health coach is actually Sunday. Can I switch to Sunday? If I need to change last weigh-in, my weight was 186.5.
Sorry for the changes. This was my first week with her and I wasn’t sure how she worked things.0 -

Can you give me a weight tomorrow for this week? I don’t know if you are still weighing yourself everyday still. Otherwise, we can excuse you from this weeks weigh in and get your first weight of the challenge on Sunday.0 -
I'm not in the top 3 in the Step Challenge anymore! Shame on me!
Today the lockdown really made the streets look even more creepy. I am hoping that I will manage to go for walks or do something to compensate.
One of my biggest issues is that I need to go to the WC every 45 minutes, maximum 1 hour. I really have issues with that. And if they close all the bar, restaurants... I don't have a place to go.
I know it sounds like a lame excuse but it is a real deal.
Yesterday I managed to do 11.750 steps but today I only managed to do 8.716 steps.
I hope tomorrow I do at least 10.000 as I want.
This Month I wanna have 1 kg less from the begging to the end. Is not much, but lately I go more up than down. So one kg is my deal for November.
Today's weight 133.5 kg = 294,3 lbs
I really hope I go better little by little. Baby steps.1 -
Nov 2nd Check in
* Track food ✅
* Stay under calorie goal ✅
* Not restrict ✅
* Drink 2L water minimum ✅
OMG I was having such a "hungry" day today. I just wanted to grab something at work even though I had my lunch and a protein shake with me. I timed it well so had my shake around 4 and just about to sit down and have dinner. Tomorrow I'm off work so I'm going to maybe make a cottage pie or something, portion it out so I have a couple of extra meals.
I have "completed" my food diary so no snacks or anything tonight- one of my habits is to stop eating before 8pm also so... dinner and that will be it for me! Especially with my first official weigh in being tomorrow... already nervous haha.
Weather permitting, I am hoping to go for a walk for a bit tomorrow morning 2 -

Thanks! I am still looking for my damn fitbit!! Google fit is not accurate at all...there is no way an 8 hr shift on my feet was only 3900 steps!!!! But at least I did 6k steps on my walk!
Hopefully I can find it tomorrow 1 -

I don’t like walking when it’s really hot. This summer the heat was brutal and walking was out.darleenturner wrote: »@Megan_smartiepants1970

i constantly visit the kitchen.
Find lots of stuff to keep you busy. One thing I do now is I play a silly game called toon blast on my tablet when I get the urge to binge or snack. It really takes my mind off eating.I'm not in the top 3 in the Step Challenge anymore! Shame on me!

You can get back into those top three! When I am able to walk I used to make sure I walked 5 minutes or more every hour. You be surprised how fast that adds up. Also I used to walk in the apartment to get my walk in. I would set the timer on the stove and go.littleflutterby wrote: »Nov 2nd Check in

That’s impressive beating that urge to snack. I have never made shepherds pie before. Something to put in my recipe ideas.ScorpioGirl70 wrote: »ScorpioGirl70

Amazing loss! I woke up yesterday and I was shocked with the taste of winter. Starting tomorrow it is going to be a nice stretch of warm weather. It is going to hit 19 on Tuesday.0 -

Monday’s check in
Calories: over by 6 calories
Water: ✅
Sleep:❌
Steps: 6,091
DBF: 7
I had to get up early this morning so I missed my sleep goal. I have my 3 month diabetic check this morning. I already know my a1c was 4.7 this time around. This is exciting as I am still in the non diabetic range and I have actually dropped from 5.3 at my previous check up. I am still using slow acting insulin in the evenings but I know with further weight loss I can stop. So my friends, this is a huge benefit of losing weight.
I have been frustrated with myself as I haven’t been able to meet a 16 hour fast. I am going to reduce my fast time to 14 hours to put less pressure on myself. I seem to have no trouble with having a 10 hour window for eating.
Have a terrific day!
Weekly goals
1. Stay within calorie goal
2. Drink 70 ounces of water
3. Sleep 7.5 hours daily
4. No binge eating/late night snacking1 -

Hi Linda. Sorry to hear you didn't meet your sleep goal because of your appointment. Good news about your diabetic improvement! Absolutely a huge bonus for losing weight!
I would think a 16 hour fast would be incredibly difficult. Frankly I don't think I could manage it. My best friend always suggests to me to do small changes which seems like good advice. She is very sensible. So, maybe you can increase your fasting time by 30 minutes every 4-5 days so you can become adjusted more slowly to the change. Just a thought. Anyway, I think putting less pressure on yourself is a good idea. !0 hours is a good accomplishment!0
