    Daily Post February 22
    Tracked Yes
    Under Calorie Yes
    Water 86oz
    Steps 9589
    Exercise 24min Inc Dance Fit Video

    Once again I'm glad I did my workout in the morning, my day got busy! After taking my son to preschool, my daughter and I went to the store for some groceries. My brother called and said he wanted to come over and make us dinner but then realized he didn't have his car so I went and picked them up after shopping. They hung out the rest of the day and left at 10:30 last night with some tired kids haha.

    For dinner he made chicken enchiladas from scratch and they were fabulous. He knows about me using MFP so he was also cool with me calculating the calories in them as he added ingredients. I was a little worried about only getting to eat a little bit and then being out of calories but they ended up not being that bad calorie wise. The sauces he made from scratch were made out of just vegetables, he used the little white corn tortillas, and the cheese wasn't heavy.

    I didn't need to get any steps in at the end of the night this time since I was so busy with all the kids haha.

    Hi beautiful people
    First of all, thanks @Megan_smartiepants1970 for reminding me to write my steps
    Yesterday I had a complete day in the hospital
    At 8.30 I had a gastroscopy. I hate them. it was horrible 11 years ago and it is horrible now. Not recommended at all. Plus the doctor was an asssssssshole
    Then at 10.30 I had my first appointment with the diëtist. She gave me a diet that I think I´m going to hate quite soon. But this morning I was busy trying to make it cute with pictures and everything.
    At 16.00 I had my first appointment with the psychologist. She is amazing good. I felt completely in good hands. And that is going to help me a lot.
    I´m still really really stressed with everything.
    I don´t know how are we going to do with such a long period of time with one salary at home.
    My weight this week went 200 grams up, but I guess it is mostly stress.

    @lindamtuck2018
    P.W. 133.6 kg 294.5 lbs
    C.W. 133.8 kg 294.9 lbs

    My steps depends a lot if I need to be at home or not.
    14/02/2021-> 11.234 steps
    15/02/2021-> 12.624 steps
    16/02/2021-> 7.313 steps

    Steps 10,340

    Yesterday I went grocery shopping and cleaned and did lots of laundry. Planned dinner didn’t work out since I couldn’t find an item I needed in two stores but we’ll have it tonight instead.

    New workout program is called the prep it is 4 weeks then there is the more advanced for 6 called the work. Hoping it isn’t too intense but I just plan to modify if needed but I have heard in my beachbody Facebook groups that ppl have seen great results from it.

    Walked 3.5 miles in 61 minutes and did 10 minutes of core exercise.

    @heatherbluebell don't let negative thoughts get you down. Use them to take action to improve the things that you can control. We are not perfect everyday so be kind to yourself and move on to tomorrow.

    @littleflutterby so glad that your surgery is scheduled and you will have a final out of the way prior to it so that you can concentrate on getting well. Sending you hugs and positive thoughts.

    @lindamtuck2018 congratulations on getting steps in and hugs that it hurts so much. Hopefully your pool will open soon and you can use that as your primary exercise.

    @Z10Rtza glad that you have a good psychologist. It really helped me and I hope that yours helps you too.

    @azkunk glad the scale has moved back to where it should be. It is amazing how much sodium is in processed food.

    @Tazaria87 Your family nights sound like so much fun and I admire how you consistently meet the challenges of tracking calories and getting in your exercise.

    @garn76 great job tracking. That has been the single most important habit that I have learned while losing weight. One good habit builds on another so heres to your continued success.

    @rlaskey2 Do you subscribe to Beachbody so that you can choose from a variety of programs. Wishing you fun and success with your new program.

    Thanks everyone for the congratulations! I just wanted to do a quick check-in before bed! So far working with the health coach has been amazing and I am feeling AMAZING! Way more energy now that I am eating more for sure! Also, my performance in the gym is way better than it has EVER been! Today I worked a 12-hour shift at the hospital (had my butt kicked and then handed to me) and still went to the gym afterward. On the way home, I noticed a nice little hard peak on my bicep. I can't wait until I have the definition there and it is visible! Anywho, It has been a LONG day and I am going to get some sleep before I am back at it again tomorrow! See ya'll! :smiley:

    Hi. I am extremely busy with work. I have my regular night job that started a few weeks ago and now It seems I am supply teaching for someone every day during the day time. I am working really, really hard and not getting much sleep. I don't tend to sleep much when I am under stress...and plus teaching requires a lot of preparation work on top of the actual teaching time.

    I am going to be super busy so I will try to check in tomorrow, but for sure by Friday.

    Hope everyone has a good week!
