    Question

    We love to eat and enjoy food but food can help us through some stressful times, fill us up when we are feeling empty, help us procrastinate, soothe anger and do all kids of thing we need. What are some substitutes for food in situations where you turn to food?

    Books and dogs

    Nice loss! Sounds like you had a busy week. Diamond art is an easy way to be creative without having a lot of talent. A friend of mine did quite a few during lockdown and has framed them and decorated her walls with them. I haven’t framed any of mine yet. They are fairly cheap on Amazon and they have a good selection.

    Switzerland, sounds like a very awesome place to go. I would like to go there or
    Scotland, because some of my family on my dad side came from there.

    Not really sure what's going on with weigh in. Maybe because TOM is ending? Or the big losses of the last two weeks catching up with me? Hopefully next week will be better.

    Yesterday we went to the zoo for an impromptu visit. We just stayed a couple hours and let my son decide what we saw. He did a good job making our plan and we had a blast. Tomorrow we will go to a trunk or treat at the church and the kids are very excited.

    CW: 162.2 (this was from earlier this week)

    I’m honestly not putting a lot of stock in that number because I’ve seen it fluctuate too many times. I don’t want to say I’m getting discouraged, but I am frustrated.

    I do still track my NSVs. As I’ve said so many times, overall, I am less than where I started at 179.6. At least there’s that.

    I try to get my daily steps in. I’m not always successful because I get bogged down during work, and am not able to take my walks. Though, the weather has been nice for a few days, and I did take the dog for a walk. She hasn’t had a walk in awhile, and she loved it. It was good for me, too.

    I just need to get myself back in gear.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 steps for this week:
    10/16: 1,240
    10/17: 6,685
    10:18: 8,632
    10/19: 7,533
    10/20: 4,526
    10/21: 4,220
    10/22: 4,662
    10/23: 5,248

    Exercise - gym only 3 machines. Body was acting weird. I stopped, playing it safe. This evening I went to the zoo for Halloween. Lots of steps but not many animals.

    @Tazaria87
    I think you added an extra 100 onto your weight. I would love to go to the zoo but it is 2 hours away. Great way to get steps!

    @red1185
    Do you weigh daily? Try using an app like happy scale to track your weigh and pay attention to the moving average. I use happy scale.

    @rwood566
    Awesome steps! Hallowe’en at the zoo sounds interesting.

    @Bluetail6
    Is the calorie burn from your intensity minutes? Lots of minutes today!

    Saturday check in
    ❌Steps 11k daily
    ✅ 528/500 Zone minutes
    ❌Stay within calories
    ✅Track food accurately

    Not such a great eating day but I did track everything. There was just too many high calorie choices. The movie was good last night. I didn’t have popcorn just a club soda.

    I am off to the pool but I am not going as long as I usually do. We went to the late movie and it was 2:30 am before I got to bed. I am super tired today.

    Happy Sunday!
