Neither happy or sad with change in weight this week.
I've been focusing on using the gym at our apartment and planning for a January Kickoff...with sensible, realistic and SMART goals!
Today makes 7 days straight of exercising (20 to 30 minutes of weight lifting and 20 to 30 minutes of bike and/or treadmill). Then by January 3 - I need to add core strengthening to the routine and I will be whole (as far as exercise goes)
Late answer to fitness routine question:
On other board - a lady talked about swinging kettlebells and had a major transformation with them. I had some sitting around (now they are in storage) but I'd like to give this routine a try.
Now to work on my eating plan. I know I need low carb. Leaning heavily towards IF (16:8) and low carb eating and trying to incorporate more veggie meals.
@iLive2Walk Those are some amazing steps! It's hard to get the steps in when you're working. I look forward to retirement!

@itladyee Thank you! I have really been working on my step goal this year. It is my main exercise. Retirement was the best decision I ever made, for both my mental and physical health. I highly recommend it when you can!0

Inspired by everyone continuing to push through this time of year! I’m having a difficult time staying on track but taking it day by day. Hope you’re all enjoying the season🎄
Today marks the start of celebrations. My goal is to try to hold even. Take it minute by minute if you have to. Even with the holiday season you had a loss. Well done.1 -
Steps: 5,083
Rings:✔️
Daily walk:✔️
I am happy I made all three goals yesterday. I will get my steps today and will get my rings closed but I won’t get my walking done. Today the nausea is not too bad and the abdominal pain has eased off immensely. I ate better yesterday and it felt good. We are going to the Keg to eat tonight. We are celebrating my granddaughters 18th birthday. I have a plan for the restaurant and looked up the calories for what I want. I have entered it in my diary. I am sure I will end up taking part of my meal home. Now I just have to stick to it.
Have a relaxing Sunday!

Snacking can really sneak in extra calories. One thing I learned when I was in therapy for my binge eating was to make a list of 20 things to do instead of snacking. You attach the list to the fridge or a cupboard. It might be worth giving it a try. Try snacking on fruits or veggies. One thing I also do is compare the calories in a “bad” snack to a healthy one. I could eat 3.5 medium apples for the calories in a single size bag of potato chips. Ask people for the strategies they use and take the ones you like.
Your exercise is amazing!1 -

Steps: 6,296
Rings:✔️
Daily walk:❌
I am shocked at my steps especially considering I did not do my daily walks. My calories for yesterday were not too bad considering we ate out. The food was fabulous even though I didn't eat much. My calories ended up at 1199 for the day. Better than what I have been eating lately but still not enough to maintain. No goals regarding fitness (my back is unhappy) but I am going to try and get enough calories.
Have a great start to the week!

@lindamtuck2018 Thanks so much! I will do that. I actually love to workout. I don't always push myself and keep it easy. I am pushing myself a bit more and am finding I love it again. I used to love lifting weights. Hubby didn't want me lifting because he was afraid it would bulk me up. When I lost a lot of my weight previously he still wasn't happy with my appearance so I gave up my weight loss journey. Now I am like screw it! I am doing this for me and that means I will lift, row, run, whatever I want to do. I do binge and I am a compulsive overeater. But I am working on getting that under control1

Hi, Team! It's been another really good week for me. I'm always happiest when I'm busy. I was able to spend some time with my parents and help them with some things around their house and I went Christmas caroling again this weekend.
Question:
It’s Saturday so let’s have a non weight loss question today. What is your favourite holiday tradition? It can be any holiday you celebrate.
My favorite holiday tradition is the mother/daughter brunch I have with my best friends and our moms. Our moms are all getting older but we have the best time when we're all together and have a chance to catch up.

@ChickieBoom22- I love this question- My favorite holiday tradition is going to see the lights at a local history museum and going to church on Christmas Eve. I have started taking my husband, kids and grandkids to this place. They all love it too.1
