    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!

    I'll have to check out the BED theory....when the boy goes home today and I have a moment alone to think again :-)

    📺 N/A weekends

    42/46

    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.

    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!

    Reviewed Feb progress so far and have swapped some of my non-scale goals out for next month as a couple of them are pretty much under control. Sleep is good and I've upped my Protein goal.

    👣 8000 steps per day average - I struggled a little with this the last month or so but reckon I should make Feb's goal if I push myself out in the awful weather.

    🍫 7 days per week mind portion control when it comes to snacks, the weather, lockdown, work stress gets me down and I reach for them. Next month, I return to pre-weighed or pre-portioned snacks.

    📺 60 mins of TV Mon to Thurs, it shouldn't be too difficult to cut down on screen time as one of my other goals for 2021 is to read more (12/50 books done so far. It's helping me sleep better and freeing up more time for other self care opportunities such as.....

    🧘‍♀️ 5 mins meditation or yoga minimum per day have done pretty well with this in Feb since I started listening to the Daily Calm on mornings before work.

    🚵‍♀️ 40 min cycle or exercise bike per week, now that Spring is on the way and our basement is no longer freezing time to make use of my bikes.

    🏋️‍♀️ 3 strength training sessions per week, doing much better at fitting it into my week and feel the difference.

    📉 250 calorie deficit minimum average across the month. I have been in a small deficit most of Feb and I want to improve on that next month.

    🐔 100g min. protein intake per day from food wherever possible and make up any shortfalls with the various MyProtein bags I have been slowly making my way through last year.

    Anyone else thinking about next month's goals yet?

    1) Stay under calorie goal
    2) Drink 4 bottles of 16 oz. water
    3) Try to get 4,000 steps each day

    ( I know this isn’t a lot of steps for most of you but it is a million for me!....this does not count water walking or water jogging )

    5) No eating after 9 p.m.

    I was thinking the same thing! I would be really tickled if the only thing I did after 9 was have a cup of something with less than 50 calories.

    Might even add that as one of my goals!

    See @conniewilkins56, even your "fail" is turning into someone else's goal :-)

    Looking back, I realize that I have a wrong dates - I'm really going to annoy me come next week when I try to add my points to the chart!

    ✅ - avoid refined carbs.
    ✅ - take 10,000 steps. 11,400
    ✅ - drink 80 oz water. 80 oz
    ✅ - 1,000 Calorie Deficit 5 days/Maintenance 2 days. -1,308
    ✅ - notice and respect "hunger" cues.
    ❌ - notice and respect "full" cues. This one is going to be tricky. First there is the water drinking - sometimes (often) that water consumption leaves me feeling full for a bit, and I tend to drink water when I'm in the kitchen preparing a meal/snack. That is a small deal - bigger is the larger portions of low calories foods I've been serving myself. They have been growing and a few times I have eaten until I'm uncomfortably full. Which is why I've added this new goal. Today I'm trying very hard to watch for this...and to peel a few calories off of each meal because yesterday, though I didn't do any "bad" eating, I came in a few hundred calories over goal.
    ✅ - Grant myself one kindness. Yesterday's kindness was not taking that evening walk because I was tired. That felt like a million pounds off my shoulders. Let's see if this is a safe goal :-)
