Still strong and in control!
17 days until the Galapagos Islands!!
My goal is to drop 5 more lbs before my trip. In order to do this, I have to drink a lot more water and do cardio intervals 30 minutes a day on top of 3 days of weight training.
The challenge is that there are several social and mardi gras events over the next 2 weeks!! Which also put a kink in my weekly fasting days.
But I will make the best choices, and choose wisely. Look a the bigger picture, girl!!

I’ve really been off track the last few weeks. I just haven’t been able to stop eating including junk. Going to make a conscious effort. I really need to drop 20 before summer or I know I will be miserable.2

Congrats on your loss! What is the number one thing you did during the week to ensure the loss?
@mari_moulin
Over 21k steps! 🤩 Awesome step day!
@rwood566
Sorry about your back! Hope you enjoyed the museum even with the back pain. Great on point eating!
@Outdoorsy_Canadian
20 pounds by summer is doable. That works out to be 5 pounds a month. Do you have any strategies in place to help achieve that goal? Junk food is one of my downfalls. Well that and bread. I bought a ton of junk for my granddaughter as she slept over last night. Two things happened: my daughter got mad at me as she doesn’t want the kids forming bad habits and I ended up eating half the junk. Are you able to keep junk food out of the house? I have my husband hide chips or bars and give it to me on occasion.

Swim 800 laps: 542/800
Ended up going quite a bit over calories. I bought quite a few treats for my granddaughter and I ate more than I should have. The supermarket we go to gives free things each week if you spend a certain amount of money. Yesterday was a box filled with chocolate bars. I gave some to my granddaughters to take home and my husband hid the rest. Yes, my willpower is that bad.
My swim will be short this morning as my granddaughter is staying most of the day and I want to spend it with her. I know most of you indicated late exercise does not affect your sleep, I am nervous to try swimming in the evenings.5 -

@lindamtuck2018
I was lucky to lose this week with Valentine’s Day, starting back to volunteer at a charity thrift shop where people bring in all sorts of treats, and spending one day taking a friend who had surgery around for her follow up appointments. I made an effort to walk as much as I was able all week, drank a ton of water to counter balance all the sugar I don’t usually eat, and I went off the schedule for Zumba to do the cardio routines only instead of the upper and lower body and ab routines that are mixed in to the program. Somehow it all came together.
If money were no object. . . . . Probably travel in style! There are so many places I would like to go to now that I have the time.3 -
@lindamtuck2018
My strategies to start:
1)Start to log my food again
2) snack less at my desk at the office (unless its healthy
3) start using our home gym again.
4) more consistent with my intermittent fasting. I find it really helps decrease my stomach bloating and regulates my bowels.
In terms of snacks, I am going to remove all my favorite junk from the house and switch to dark chocolate when I want something sweet.
I also have those new hiking books to break in, so maybe some longer walks too. In terms of hiking in Ontario, we have lots of great places. Our longest would be the Bruce Trail. It runs almost 900 km. I have done parts of it but eventually would love to do the entire thing. I will probably be doing some multi day hiking trips on the trails in Killarney or Algonquin. I mainly do backcountry (remote) canoe trips though. That usually involves a ton of hiking on portage trails between lakes, sometimes through Boggs and swamps.
I was suppose to head up north for some winter camping next weekend but I think our trip is going to be delayed.
I can't remember where I stopped posting my steps so here is last week:
10/14-5426
10/15-7506
10 16-9033
10/17-8164
10/18-5933

A month long trip around the country to see things I saw as a kid or wanted to see.1 -

Started moving again. Moving helps with motivation overall for me and I’m more likely to stay on track. And burning the extra calories means I can eat a little more! Also, signing up for a half marathon means I have to stay on a schedule of exercise so I can be ready in time. It’s the Oregon Wine Country half so it’s in a valley at low elevation. I live at high elevation - I’m expecting to be able to run my fastest half marathon!
Also, I concur with the others. If money were no object, my reward would be more travel!
