    ✅ - avoid refined carbs. Crackers - with tea and snack served to a unexpected guest.
    ✅ - take 10,000 steps. Dropped this until some of our snow is gone - just can't trudge 15,000 steps through/over all the snow that is still falling.
    ✅ - drink 80 oz water. 90 oz!
    ✅ - 1,000 Calorie Deficit 5 days/Maintenance 2 days.
    ✅ - respect hunger cues/develop ideal eating window. Very well. It was one of the longest stretches I've gone without food in the afternoon in a long while. Just comfortably living with no snacking - probably still running on all the extra calories consumed last week :(.

    ✅ - avoid refined carbs.
    ✅ - take 10,000 steps. 20,100 cutting this down to 10,000 for now. Today's big step count came about because a friend drove us to a good, cleared walking path - that won't happen everyday.
    ✅ - drink 80 oz water. 110 oz
    ✅ - 1,000 Calorie Deficit 5 days/Maintenance 2 days. -1,376
    ✅ - respect hunger cues/develop ideal eating window. Yes to the cues - thinking my ideal eating window is just a long one, and I'm not going to mess with trying to shorten it anymore because this seems to be working. Tomorrow it comes off my goal list.

    I've been participating in a "Self-Compassion" group (zoom) at the disordered eating centre I've been going to for a few years. There is much to consider in that. The very knowledgeable psychiatrist I see noted that most of the women she has helped through binge eating have been the type of person who care a great deal for others, usually to the point of neglecting their own needs. Which she believes is tied into the binge eating behaviour.

    So next week I'm adding "daily act of kindness to my self" to my list. Thought I would throw this idea out there for everyone to consider. This has been quite challenging for me. I can make up nonsense ones....but times when I actually cut my self some slack, or forgive my self for mistakes etc. - those are really hard and rare.

    The BED is an interesting theory....I suffer only child guilt syndrome lol....seriously, sometimes we neglect ourselves and forget about self care...I think that is why I enjoy my solitude swimming so much... I have around 2 hours to myself and it is so peaceful...not only time alone but to think and reflect!

    Steps still lacking. Protein Intake much better and again slight deficit over the week. I'm aiming for a little lower during the week, this week and one of my goals for March is going to be to curb snacking outrageous portions, there's really no need I am doing out of stress and boredom at the moment. So the tupperware pots will be out in force next month with their drywipe weight labels.

    4) Stay off the scales until Mar. 1
    5) No eating after 9 p.m.
    6) At least 7 hours sleep...in bed by 1 a.m.

    Woohoo - Week 2 results are in :) Sorry - somehow I lost the pretty table colours and I'm too fog-brained tonight to go back and find them. Next week our table will have beautiful colours. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes and I will post an updated table.

    ** Special Request **

    When you post your daily habit checkin - will you please write your total at the bottom? ie: 4 points out of 6 - or - all points

    Today when I was pulling the table together I had to check and double check to make sure I wasn't miscounting. lol. I'd rather trust you to do your daily counts than mess them up myself!

    I'm enjoying this tremendously and love seeing how well we are all doing!
