I am new to The Belly Flats.
I'm committed to this challenge but not up to typing much right now as I had a severe pain attack this morning.
After that I have rested for the rest of the day.
I have a lot of health problems.
As a result of one of the health conditions, I can have debilitating pain episodes.
Wanted to let you know so you don't wonder where I am on days I am not posting.
I will for sure post on my Saturday weigh in days.
I'm not feeling up to reading the posts tonight (but I skimmed them).
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for me.

Good to hear from you, and welcome to our little group! I hope you are feeling better today.

Thanks @HigginsTheBrave and @looneycatblue for your encouragement. Still not feeling good today so unfortunately it has to be another rest day for me. Joining this group and knowing I have a Saturday weigh in is helping me to keep my eating in check today though.

Daily: Mon, Jan 2
Tracked: Yes
Calories: just under (I use my exercise calories)
Exercise: 2 x Walks, 9,246 steps

Comments: Took a morning walk to the store, p/up lots of healthy stuff, with plans to make a big pot of Veggie Soup. 2 heavy bags to carry home, but lucky for me the store is only 2/3 of a mile away. Still had to stop 3 times to rest my arms and let the blood flow back into my fingers!

Spent most of the rest of the day sedentary, so decided to take another walk before dinner... so nice to have the time to do that.

Unfortunately the reason for the extra time was I couldn't get any work done, my old computer is crashing, and the new one (my Son built for me over the weekend), I couldn't get up and running...

I'm hoping to get my computer crises fixed soon, but I will miss the down time.

Comments: I am just getting started back to watching my food intake.
Goal is to lose 30 lbs. My last two jobs were at home being a Covid tracer. I kept in shape by biking on a stationary desk type desk. I've gained 20 lbs since that job ended. I am starting a new job next week at a desk so I have no idea what direction my weight will head.
I've been in a few biggest loser groups here before and had much success.
Let me know if I can help anyone. I have been a Fitbit advocate for many years.
Thanks for listening.
Peace to all!

Hey Belly Flats! Question - is anyone else having an egg shortage in your area? I heard there is a nationwide shortage. I went to our store today, and shelves were 100% empty. I am bummed, because a hard boiled egg is the most filling snack I have discovered. I am resorting to string cheese, but it is not the same.... 🥚🍳🥚

Same issue here in Washington State. If you can find eggs you’re limited to 1 or 2 cartons.

I’ve decided to give intermittent fasting a try. Not sure how it will go. I’m doing 14:10. 14 hrs fasting and 10 hrs eating. So far in the 3 days I’ve done it my only problem is I’m hungry. Hopefully that will go away soon. Have a good day everyone.

Tracked: Yes
Calories: Surprised I was under
Exercise: 0 x Walks, only 4,659 steps

Comments: I woke up early enough for a walk, however it was raining, and being the wimp that I am, I skipped it.

Eating was good throughout the day, knew I couldn't overdue it because I wasn't going to have my exercise calories to lean into... after dinner I really overdid it... but somehow was still just under... I need to stop the after dinner snacking!

Comments: Raining again today. I'm not feeling bad about missing my walks though, I am taking advantage and sleeping in an extra 30+ minutes. The experts say sleep is also very important! I did much better last night on keeping the after dinner snacking under control. I love the Trader Joes Vanilla Meringues! So sweet, crunchy, and 4 fairly large ones for only 90 calories!

looneycatblue

on the subject of - Eggs! My lunch today is:

1/2 c. liquid egg whites, cooked in the microwave
2 Tbs monterey jack cheese, (would have worked with just 1)
1/4 avocado
2 Tbs pico de gallo
salt & pepper

Really yummy and easy to make at work... just about 200 calories & 18 grams protein.

What are you eating today?
