Weight in.
January ending:220
Feb week1 219
A loss of 1 lb.
Not a great start to February
I stepped about 80,000 steps this week
I hit my target of 15k steps 2 out of 7 days.
I documented food 6 out of 7 days I was under target 4 days.
I donated blood last weekend, I fell off my eating health eating because I wanted to ensure my iron level was high enough to donate. I was successful, and found out I don’t have the Covid antibodies. It’s a good indicator that I haven’t had Covid. After my donation I took a downward spiral to my eating. Just recently I am feeling I got a handle back on it. Another trigger will be this weekend with the extra cold weather as well as the Super Bowl. My softball team traveled to Florida and won the World Series. I didn’t go because of Covid. My job as a Covid contact tracer / case investors keeps me on my toes. I have a bike desk and depending on my function I can hit my target with walks at lunch. Thank you for reading this I won’t let the team down with only a one lb loss in the next weeks. Peace to all
Wow--that is awesome about your softball team winning the World Series. I'm sorry you weren't able to go, but you obviously helped them get there. We appreciate your help in getting this virus under control through your work as a contact tracer. Also, any loss is terrific!

I had a couple of bad calorie days in a row and now I'm paying the price. I've got to break out of the yo-yo this month.
Here is a quick filling meal I had for lunch today: 6 oz. of Kirkland Premium Chunk Chicken Breast, with 1/3 chopped Gala apple (the rest I ate as slices). I haven't even finished it - so filling. 39 grams of protein for what I ate, which is 3 servings. It's a nice alternative to tuna fish
I was inspired by this post, I love how you assess your meal, describing your protein ratio and serving size and even explained how you served yourself and when you got full.
And it got my thinking.. about how helpful it might be if we all looked at our food with an analytical eye🧐
So I’d like to request we startup a new WRD (Weekly Roundtable Discussion):
Sometime this week everyone needs to choose a meal and describe it in detail get out an old sheet of paper and something they call..a pencil ✏️ 😉
Analyze and share with us your macro count of that meal, your portion size, Go one step further with it, if it was a healthy meal why did you choose that combination of foods? Was it Meal prep meal Day#1 in your highly organized meal prep arrangement? Or was it not so healthy and you were rushed? Where were you? Sitting? Standing? Eating too fast? Did you finish it? Do you wish you could have had time to cook a healthier option? What did you drink with it? We’re you feeling some sort of emotion while you ate?
This may just be a helpful exercise for people who tend to mindlessly eat. But please share and get real about One Meal!0 -

I love this idea! I have so many days where my total cals are just fine and my nutrition is horrible. I think this might help me reframe my eating goals better.

WRD - I don't eat a lot of "meals" per se; it is more just random foods put together at meal time. At the end of the day, I look at my diary to see where I have fallen short, macro wise, to help guide me as to what snack I "should" eat. The calories left in my day guide me as to what snack I "can" eat. If I am needing some more fat, I may have some almond butter on a piece of rye crisp bread; If I am needing some protein, I may have a yogurt or a meat stick, etc.
I must say, though, this time around, I am thinking of my daily calorie budget as my bank account for the day. I can only "spend" (consume) what is there. Once it's gone, my day is done and the diary, or bank if you will, is closed. (Yes, there will be exceptions, like Valentines Day for example. We are going to see my parents [it has been since October 17th] and we are going to order in from the local restaurant. I will not be able to stay under that day, most likely, with the choices I will have to work with).
All that being said, @Krysless2 , before coming on this morning, I was looking at my oatmeal, that I like to have for breakfast. I normally have two packets of the apples and cinnamon. flavour (when I am having oatmeal). However, last time shopping, the apples and cinnamon Super Grains flavour was on sale. They are bigger packets, so I only need one. Turns out, it is the better deal, nutritionally. It is probably, although I cannot confirm from here, a better deal budget wise as well, since I am eating two of the one variety to one of the other.
Regular packets x 2: 240 calories, 3g of fat, 300 mg of sodium, 52g of carbs, 4g of fibre, 18g of sugar, 6g of protein, 12% of my daily iron.
Super Grains x 1: 210 calories, 3g of fat, 160 mg of sodium, 43g of carbs, 6g of fibre, 12g of sugar, 5g of protein, 15% of my daily iron.2 -
Long rant (apology in advance)
I have been really on a downward spiral mental health wise, so my motivation has been non-existent.
My back is still hurting from shoveling snow 4 days last week so I haven’t been able to go to the gym regardless.
A coworker that I worked with yesterday potentially has covid, so now I have to quarantine while I wait on test results, making my anxiety even worse. And yet another reason I can’t get to the gym.
I am going to take this week off if I can roll over my weight, and I will catch up with you all next Monday.3 -

I'm so glad that was helpful! I am trying to be more aware of what I am eating, and the protein is key for me because I get hungry in between meals otherwise. I am actually keeping an eye on the protein percentage as the day goes on. So, right now, I know I am a little low so my snack will be a protein shake. I will track one good and one bad meal this week.

@erikNJ I hope the test results come back negative. I also hope your back starts getting better, too. I understand you wanting to take a rest week and will roll over your weight.0 -
