Daily Check In - Summer 2014
Replies
-
I hope you won't mind me trying to get back into this again. I know I need the daily check ins but this year was the year I had to solve the employment problems caused by the economic downturn for me and in order to get there I had to take part-time jobs until I had too many. Now I have 2 relatively good jobs and one is even in my field. My schedule is still hectic but I have to do a better job to fit health and fitness back into the equation. I can't check in in the mornings during the week right now but will try to check in sometime in the day. I have read some of your earlier posts and the latest page of posts and it is great to check in with you. I missed you all. Dahlia congratulations!
I have managed to log-in daily except for recently when we were at our annual family camping trip. A long weekend my side of the family takes together every summer. I also I had a few days where I went straight from work to a long evening of fun that ended after midnight. So I logged in too late and reset my log in days. I usually go back and log in my camping days when I get back but this year I wasn't as rigorous with that. I felt it was just time for a fresh start afterwards. So after a busy week of work I have spent some time to get back into doing more than logging each day this weekend.
Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes or almost I take out fruit from my sugar total and was very close to staying under that which is my problem area. I try to have 2 portions of fruit a day and that is all the sugar I need. I keep working on lowering this.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? well I just started back but I would say yes. I posted my monthly goals on 40/50 + Group
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I replaced my fitbit zip and I opened up my daily tracking spreadsheet again and updated it and logged, exercise calories, weight and redid my goals
What would I have done differently? made sure my husband did more of his part on the iced latte we were sharing

Sorry I have MIA for such a long time now, we have been boating and all I have doing
is tracking my exercise so I don't lose my days.
Leaving again on Thursday for a wedding in Northern Ontario where my MIL's house is.
I probably won't fill out this week's report as things are really crazy now. I will return
on Monday and start again for at least a little while until we leave again at the end
of the month for another boating club cruise. Our last one of the season.
Keep on going friends, I am with you. I have gained 5 pounds since my last vacation
but down 2 this morning which probably was water weight.
Now to do some gardening and get things cleaned up around here and hopefully
a walk too later today.
Enjoy your week and will be back soon.

I'd like to join this post! I need accountability and motivation...
I did really well from Mid Dec when I started until the middle of June when I moved in with the bf. Since then, I have struggled with finding time to get my workouts in and haven't logged/ ate as well as I should be. Currently, I should be able to get a walk or a quick JM DVD in on Mon-Weds till the end of summer. The rest of the week is filled with car shows and weekend trips to the lake.
Current weight: 176.6
