    Just catching up for last week may 06 to May 10th all green

    08/20

    I'll try to post more often. Sorry
    I'm finally getting out walking so much easier to stay green and even have some left over.

    Hi all,
    I'm just checking in to say that I'm checking out of the Keeping it Green Challenge for a while. I have come to the gradual realization over the last few weeks that, somewhat amazingly, I'm happy at this weight and don't actually want to do what it would require to lose vanity weight. My body likes being 130, and I am finding myself in need of a new motivation... namely, focusing on what my body can do rather than what it can weigh. Of course, that's an attitude that can go hand-in-hand with weight loss, and, of course, logging and keeping it green, but for me, I need a bit of a break from logging and for the next few weeks anyway I'm going to deliberately only log 4/7 days a week and see if I can maintain that way.
    All your support has been great and it's been awesome sharing your successes!

    Blue- Yes

    5/9- Green- No I had 200 calories left for dinner and then pizza happened +500
    Blue- Yes

    I'm really struggling here with moderation, but I'm having fun! For the record, I have 3 green days this month. Yikes!

    @ktaylor- It sounds like a good plan for you. I've beginning to wonder if that is what is going on with me too. It's nice being satisfied, that's what you've worked so hard for.

    @Scherzie - you go Scherzie - fabulous miles on the bike

    @Melissa - best wishes for your FiL and his surgery today. ❀ ❀ ❀ Hikes with hiking buddies are the best (canine or otherwise)!! and superb for getting your thinking space - seems like cheating to get your exercise in such an enjoyable way. LOL

    @roccovole - well done on your green series whilst coping with sad times - you star ????

    @R_Queenie - hope you had a fab Mothers Day weekend - ice cream cake YUM. I've got such a cute image of you and your Chihuahua.

    @GMK - YAY the forecast for the end of the week is good - lots of walking coming up!!

    @Chevy - some good numbers there.

    @Jbharwood - sounds like you had a fun Saturday.

    ETA:

    My own news: despite my injured Achilles I am managing to get most of my steps in - although on Friday I had to get a taxi back to the car because I didn't think I had the 45 mins it would have taken me to walk/limp the mile (I don't think my GP would count the15k steps as resting with 'gentle' exercise LOL. Hopefully, as it improves I shall move more and get fewer Chevy's (Nothing against you @Chevy - just prefer to be inside the goal rather than over it).

    Potluck. Pizza. And cookies at the office happened. Boo! :sad: Couple this with my "died on Mothers Day" Fitbit---so no credit for my busy walking, but not exercising day and that means red, red, red. :devil:

    Replacement Fitbit is in the mail. (Such great customer service....but waiting for arrival is torture.)

    Green: Yes, including eating pizza for two meals!
    Blue: Yes

    My brother fed me pizza mini bagels for lunch and my husband made a flatbread for dinner. I guess yesterday was a pizza day. I worked out 90 minutes to offset.
