Hi All
Last week was busy, I do alot of work with COVID and we are seeing it on the rise lately, Hope everyone stays healthy this fall because there are some cold/flu viruses that want to set you back.
I agree with things going sideways at the lake @ashleycarole86, I was at the lake this weekend and the salt overload was real this morning with my weigh in.
I have been making some great changes with getting up and doing my Peloton workout, I love being in a fitness challenge because it makes me workout to a prescribed plan. Eating has been better with the late night snacks but could be better and something I'm more aware of, will be working on that this week.

@cleaneater80 - It is true there are some nasty cold/flu viruses out right now. I was sick two weeks ago and am still feeling it.
Here are my step & activity counts:
Sunday, 9/10/2023 - 1,539, very little activity - recovering from illness
Monday, 9/11/2023 - 6,160, 2.5 hours of bowling
Tuesday, 9/12/2023 - 7,707, 60 minutes CrossFit
Wednesday, 9/13/2023 - 3,214, 2.5 hours of bowling
Thursday, 9/14/2023 - 5,633 spent most of the day in the car, ended the day with video golf
Friday, 9/15/2023 - 7,815 morning workout at hotel gym, vendor event (on feet all day), Top Golf
Saturday, 9/16/2023 - 12,334 golf tournament
Tomorrow is my weigh-in day and I do not think it will be as good as last week. We had a long drive to Denver, Colorado for an open-house and golf tournament hosted by our sister company. I had over two weeks of not drinking before the event and was eating really well. During the weekend, I definitely had a lot of drinks and ate more food than I should have. But, you know what they say, "when in Rome" (or this case, Denver). I am back on track today and plan to stay this course despite lots of eating out next week when our company's owners are in town from Germany.6 -
Happy Monday all!
I am setting the best of intentions this week by starting my morning with a pumpkin pie protein bowl. It has: real pumpkin for all that fiber, protein powder, Greek yogurt and soy milk for all that protein goodness, banana for sweetness, and then topped with pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds for fat, and some sliced apple and apple crisps for crunch. This was such a fulfilling meal that I felt satiated for 4 hours, which is what my dietician recommends.

Your pumpkin pie protein bowl looks lush3 -

Hello everyone! It has been a rough start to the school year. Our entire therapy team is very full so we did some last minute moving around. This delayed getting students started and made some of us grumpy. Tomorrow I see students and my bag of toys is packed already. Food has been good. I'm not hitting all of my food goals but I am making progress. I also started walking some days and running others. I'm just being really careful as I just got through a 9 month bout of plantar fasciitis. I did skip one run. My body is still adjusting to sitting in tiny chairs. Tight hips bother my knees, annoyed knees might make me agitate my foot. I'm sure that in a week I will be in tiny chair shape in no time! My big goal this week is to not run out of weekly points on my weight watchers food log.7

Happy Monday - for another hour or so at least.

Whomp whomp! Fell off hard last week. Didn't even consistently track my steps/activities either. Good news, I'm feeling better and more motivated and I'm excited for this week.6 -

Bad news, I am up from 2 weeks ago. Good news, I am only 1.6 pounds up from when I went on the cruise to 1 week after it. I have ate within calories 5/7 days this past week which is amazing to me after 8 days of binging! Now to keep going...5 -
@jugar I have yo go up to Lloydminster for a couple of days and won't have access to a scale. Weighing in early for the week.

Things are going well over here, scale is up, but food and exercise has been on point, so I'm thinking it is just something temporary. Let's just hope it leaves before weight in tomorrow morning.

Up slightly, but not surprising considering the weekend I just came off of. Also, I am still sick. I plan on giving my body another day or two to start recovering, but will go to the doctor if it doesn't. I really miss working out, I just haven't had the energy for it for a couple weeks.1 -
Tuesday checking in here!
Slept in this morning because I just could not get myself out of bed. Just one of those mornings! I had another one of my pumpkin pie protein bowls and headed off to my dietician appointment. She looked at my macros and we agreed I am a little too carb heavy (closer to 50%) in my macros, so to focus more on snacking on healthy fats. I shared how I had a chickpea curry for dinner and less than 2 hours later, I’d be so hungry again that I’d snack and snack. She said she’d rather I go over slightly in my calories with my macros closer to a 40/30/30 split, so I am searching all the best healthy fat snacks to try for the next couple of weeks before my next appointment.
I have an upper body workout scheduled for after work today, and then I’ll take my dog on a walk while the weather is still beautiful out. We have one more serving of a chicken and sweet potato curry, and then tomorrow’s dinner will be tofu tacos with a peanut sauce for that heathy fat.3 -
Had a work event tonight (second night in a row!) and abstained from having any alcohol
Yay - no empty calories
Did allow myself to get too hungry, but hey.. I'm just happy for the win!
Also have had some good Peloton workouts the last few days.. humbling in that I've lost fitness, but feels good to be a bit more consistent.4 -

Good for you! I have been going more and more alcohol free - good on so many levels. It is one change that makes a big difference, and gives you more calories to eat instead Keep going on that Peloton!
I had a good day - riding and rehearsing. Fun!

Quick check in. Today was very good for food. We even went to McDonald's after the kids cross country meet and I was very good with portion control. I was able to get plenty of exercise at the cross country meet. I get there pretty close to the start time and of course no parking. Parked in the neighborhood near by but had to run all the way to the school. Made it around the corner just in time to see my son take off. Ran to the next spot to cheer him on. There is just so much running if you want to cheer your kids on multiple times. Hubby and I plan out running to different spots. My daughter came in 23rd in her large group. My son was fighting a little cold so he was just happy he was able to run.6
