    The results are in! Sorry they are kinda late coming in. You ladies have slayed it this week. Connie who was about to take a break is killing it. Tinkerbellang83 who moved last week has her highest score yet and Janatki and Joone_9 it is great to see you here.

    I know I'm not really here, but I kinda am and it is inspirational to see this checkin going so well and you know I will be back!

    This certainly does help with accountability..good job everyone! I had a really hard day today..I fear the side effect of fatigue is starting to hit me out of nowhere and all my other new meds are starting to throw me outta whack so I didn’t do well BUT I still logged..that’s an improvement for me right there! Keep it up everyone:)

    1) log every day ☑️
    2) min of 6000 steps/day - Not even close..4200
    3) complete at-least one other form of exercise/day..NOPE
    4) drink 8 glasses water/day - NOPE..maybe 4
    5) force one positive forward thinking thought into my brain! -it was a hard day 😞
    6) 500 cal deficit 5/7 days☑️ - I went over today for sure as I caved and had pizza for supper but I didn’t go into binge territory so it’s progress I guess.

    March 31....2/6

    Good Morning!

    Hope everyone is doing okay!

    Woohoo! New month, spring, new beginnings! ... Live next to some reservoirs and blinkin’ geese are amorous, territorial and bl**dy noisy all day & night long..knackered this morning!

    April 1st Daily habit check in..... Do we need to game change our habits? I’m thinking of ousting the ones I do now that ....drum roll here...have become habits for other things I’d like to get on top of / make better?

    1. Logging - conscientious 1
    2. Processed - seemingly unattainable again! 0
    3. Water - Nearly - 0
    4. Exercise - nope - sickly & a bit dizzy yesterday 0
    6. Life - on holiday still so ☺️1

    Total 2/5 🤒

    I love this one. I had a few odd goals and they were helpful. At least once a day I thought of something that otherwise tended to get sidelined during a busy day.

    Happy April!

    I like the idea of bringing in new goals.

    I'm still working on mine...I mean figuring out what they are right. Hopefully will have some to roll out on Monday!

    1. Logging everything & honestly - nope - ate on the go & shock horror - guesstimated! Big fat 0 for that!

    Hmm.... I've often taken pictures and guesstimated eating out Calories. Personally I would consider guesstimating to be sub-optimal as compared to weighing ingredients, for sure! But I would not consider guesstimating as slacking in the "logging everything & honestly" department; you are doing the best job possible within limitations.

    Aw thank you @PAV888.... my problem is my guesstimates are hilariously way out! Usually to my benefit!

    @Janatki ...we all know guesstimating to our advantage is rarely gonna get us to our goal (so why do we do it!? Lol..I have no frickin clue but I do that too!). I’m trying my best to log realistically being that I am eating out for almost every meal right now but im sure I’m even off..I’m just hoping it’s not off by loads. You are on holiday and honestly..the best I ever hope for while on holiday is to maintain weight if I can. So enjoy the holiday guilt free..it’s life..supposed to be enjoyed!

    Anyway ...Happy Easter Monday!

    April 4 the check in

    Revised habits
    1. Logging - faithfully / honestly - stays in. 1
    2. Eat healthily, incorporating a bit of treats now & then, bearing in mind healthy alternative & to discuss options with self first, before helping self to what is essentially other ‘s snacks! 1 Some Easter chocolate!
    3. Time out for self - 1 hour daily ( shamelessly pinched from @conniewilkins56 - hope you don’t mind 😊. 1 New book Nowt would’ve shifted me off that sofa 🤣
    4. 2 bouts of exercise a day - level dependant on the other *kitten* - fatigue and joints! . Exercise of some sort essential & I know it makes it better in the long run......0 1 out of 2 sessions
    5. Be less critical of self......mmm where to start when I’m the worse for this? ...not getting things done etc.....1 doing ok
    6. Finish work on time ...might help with 3. 4. & 5. 1 not at work!
