❄️ Steps 11,223 —-I think..don’t consider my pedometer to be that accurate
❄️ Exercise 52 minute hike in the woods with the hubs just to try to shake off Jetlag cobwebs

I’ve been using Diet Doctor for recipes but getting kinda bored with that and annoyed with paying for it. Any suggestions on good websites? There are so many I’m spoilt for choice so I’d appreciate any recommendations.1 -

I did better in increasing water but probably could have squeezed in more. I still had about 56ounces plus some other drinks mixed in. I ate when I was hungry, albeit some stuff that could have been healthier. I wanted to snack after dinner but drank water instead and got over it. Sunday is typically a rest day from weights but I did 45 minutes of body weight HIIT and walked the dog. Will hit the weights M-F. The scale dropped back down this morning after losing some water weight from my New Years food fest.2 -

I'm hitting keto hard and this Quarantine Fluff is going.
Bye, chub. Won't miss ya.
Happy Birthday ..Mine was 12/29
Happy belated birthday girls, mine was the 30th!
I will be making a meal plan and a workout plan for the month tonight after dinner. I already have an exercise log I created for a work competition last year and tweaked it for 2022. I'll get some definitive goals posted tomorrow. the fitness coach at my work challenged us to add a glass of water each day and water is def a challenge for me. I gave it a try today with drinking hot water and it did help me tolerate it better. I'll take whatever wins I can.2 -

Have a good night peeps!2 -

January Goals here goes!
Hi, I'm Tish breast cancer survivor who gained 35 lbs during treatment in 2014. Found keto and this group a couple years later. Lost the 35 in 10 months and have maintained since with occasional vacation upticks. My intent is to continually improve my health and wellbeing as I get older.
Highest weight 202
Current weight 171
Jan goal weight 168
Long term goal 150
My workout plan for the month using my chart from work is 3 hours per week with 3 cardio days, 2 strength days, a barre workout and yoga. I designated which days to do what so I'm committed to it and can't make excuses like 'I don't feel like doing that today'.
Meal planning is a must for me and I'll do that weekly to help stay under 60 carbs daily.
Increasing my water from 6 to 8 glasses a day.
I have the tools, I can do this 2 -

Back to my work schedule after a two week break with a few meetings sprinkled in so I felt like the day drug. I got plenty of water but that didn’t keep me from eating later in the evening when I totally wasn’t hungry. I’ll blame my saboteur for grabbing snacks while watching football. I thought I did well on protein for the day until I logged and my carbs (mostly good ones) far outweighed protein. This is likely why I reached for a snack. I did increase weights on leg day so I’ll continue to try and progressively increase over time. @NYPhotographer2021, I love Yellowstone so understand staying up to watch. Congrats on the new job!3 -

My old knee injury was a jerk yesterday and I had some serious inflammation going on, so I just opted for a walk-at-home workout for "5 Miles"
Feeling better today, so I'll be hitting the strength and then some HIIT intervals to round out what's left of my workout time.3 -

Sleep: Bad - I think. Forgot to wear my Fitbit to bed. I think I got in at least 7 hours, but not positive.
So second day of new job. Disastrous. Was told it would take at least 3 months to fully be able to do my job. Missing access to so many different programs and it apparently takes a feat of God to get them! Sleep last night was bad so that didn't help today. It's so frustrating! On a high note though, I did hit a new low! I feel like a human yo-yo.
Happy Birthday @tishsmith101 !
And thank you @taylok23 ! Yay! Another Yellowstone fan! Although I wasn't very happy with this episode. As season finale's go, this one was kind of blah. But now to get Paramount Plus to watch 1883 & the new show - 6666!!3 -
Hello! I am new and Would love to join this group!
HW: 265
CW: 235.6
GW: 130
I had reached the 130 goal weight before the pandemic. After being home from my career on lockdown and everything, I pretty much gained 100 pounds in a year and a half. Apparently, that is very easy to do. Sadly, it takes much hard work to get it off and at my age now, probably more so. But I have decided to get back on track January 1st, 2022 and all I can do now is try my best.
I wish every one here good luck!
P.S
I'm not a weekly weigher because it is discouraging for me. But may conduct monthly weigh ins, will depend 6 -
Jan 4
❄️. Carbs. 76 (oops)
❄️ Cals. 1628 (double oops)
❄️ Steps. Who knows—Garmin didn’t arrive until afternoon and it took me forever to get it set up.
The learning curve from the 3 to the 4 is steep when my online manual defaults to
German lol. Excited to give it a whirl today though!
I started this morning with an exquisite cup of coffee. My new goal, since I’ve recovered from my Jetlag is to develop a sensibe eating window —-12-8 or thereabouts. This should help with the carb creep.4 -
Hi, new to the group, I’m Lori from the U.K. I have already had one win this year as my starting weight is lower than last. It’s not been by much but for far too many years I’ve started each year higher than the last and consequently I now have 42lbs to lose.
My starting weight is 177lbs and I’d like to be closer to 135.
My plan is to follow a low carb diet with a moderate calorie deficit and to walk every day for a minimum of 30 minutes.
I don’t usually eat breakfast but do snack in the evening. I will start by fasting from 7 pm to noon (17/7).
My goal is to weigh 4lbs less by the end of each month.3 -
Jan SW 171 (was actually 172 Saturday)
CW 170
GW 168
1/3/22 30 min Strength, carbs 47, water 8 glasses
1/4/22 20 min Yoga, carbs 43, water 7 glasses
Off to a good start. Added bonus, looking at a cotton candy sunrise out my window just now.2 -
1/4:
Well, it is official- I ate all of my feelings last night (or I suspect that was the culprit). I’m frustrated in my new job and rethinking a role someone came to me about so yesterday was stress of my own making. I started out well and truly ate when I was hungry but went overboard at dinner. I know I have no limits with Mexican and last night didn’t disappoint! Maybe I underrate earlier in the day, but again, I followed my hunger cues. I drank a boatload of water and increased weights for chest flies and bench press. And the scale bumped a pound, so that’s 2 in two days. Let’s see if I can turn it around today.3 -
