6/14 - didn't finish my water, no workout, fitbit claims I took 5,000 steps (skeptical...), not green

Yesterday had too big of a good and fatty lunch...almost slid into a binge mode.
But I ate light and made it to the end of the day with something like 2 calories to spare!0 -
Yesterday, I did quite good. Supper ended up being a bit big, but made it through the day with about the right number of calories, and I did 12000 steps. My volunteer work also involves quite a bit of standing so I was quite active. I was a bit short on the water.0

Whoo hoo! Great stepping @Suede242
June 15 check-in
5,000 steps. One workout, not water, didn't log dinner but probably not green.
I had some issues trying to workout last night to the point it became comical. The ordeal ended with a workout disc snapping in half. The struggle is real ya'll! I'm trying to get some steps in each hour today so I won't have to work so hard to catch up when I get off work. Toodles!!!0 -
Dropping off my car at the shop today I decided I would walk to work-it's not very far, but its all uphill, so I got in a little bit of a workout in and worked off some frustration! This is the second time this week that I have had my car in the shop because some little critter has been chewing on the wiring! ARRGH0

I switched cars with hubby so he could take mine to the shop. He brought me Popeye's for lunch... awesome? lol I take my frustrations out on my workout as well. Cuz I don't want to get fired from my job

Been off for a day- Happy Week 2 Ladies. Are you all loving this humidity? Got water? Got ice? Ready, set go!
5.5 miles here. More water in my running clothes than on towel after my shower!

Yesterday was a non healthy eating day but today will be better0

Yesterday I did very well with my eating. I also biked about 15km (9mi) bringing my step count to 15000 (including my biking). However, I overdid it so this morning I'm taking a rest from my usual workout at the gym.0

Sorry guys I haven't checked in for two days. Monday I was able to get 3 miles in. Yesterday I walked 2 miles. I've been drinking less water than usually. Let's see what today has in store for me....0

Today was crazy busy at work and the nurse manager bought pizzas for all. It was yummy but I am going home in the red on my calories so I will have to get in a good work out tonight to break even. I had really planned on mowing the lawn, but its a riding mower so that won't burn off much of anything.
I am going to drink my waters and see if the dog can't inspire me to take a walk or something more active than mowing.
Its just one day in the big picture of things right?0 -
I don't think I checked in yesterday. But I had two days of the same. Half my water, 6 minute walk but no real workout. 5,000 steps and ended the day red.
We went to settlement on my house today. Yay? lol I spent the day sitting and driving then had the nerve to celebrate at Cheesecake Factory. I didn't log my meal but I'm positive it was more than 800 calories. I started a fitbit challenge and I'm over 13,000 steps behind my competition... I have much work to do lol
Cheers!0 -
Today ended up being a red day. I would normally have gone to the gym but I was overtired today and needed a rest. Tomorrow should be mostly a quiet day. I guess I need to be more careful when I need to back off my activity, and not to overdo the activity in the first place.0
-
I walked a lot today in St Augustine! I drank tons of water and wee weed like a race horse all day! My fitband said I reached my step goal and burned 255 cals from my walking slow pace while exploring the good ole city! Got home to late for my swim...0

@Beneita Gee wiz Miss Beneita, throw a bike into that mix and your our next Triathlete! Lovely day Sweetie!0

Sounds like several of us had red days yesterdayI don't think I checked in yesterday. But I had two days of the same. Half my water, 6 minute walk but no real workout. 5,000 steps and ended the day red.

But tomorrow is a new day!

I have a tendency to be all-or-none. It seems like it takes time to learn what is just right (like GoldilocksToday ended up being a red day. I would normally have gone to the gym but I was overtired today and needed a rest. Tomorrow should be mostly a quiet day. I guess I need to be more careful when I need to back off my activity, and not to overdo the activity in the first place.

I was just thinking that it depends on whether we make a habit of it. As I am writing a strategy came to mind that I was reading about recently which involves taking a jar of pennies, marbles etc. Somewhere easily visible and each day you meet your goal you transfer one of the marbles to the other jar. At the end of the week (or month) you start over. I'm thinking I might try that for each of my meals/snacks for the day whether I consider them healthy or not. I found a few plain magnets that I'm going to put on the fridge and add a happy face to them.0 -
I like the idea of having something visable to show your success because sometimes the scales sure do seem slow!
I used to know a lady that weighed out potatoes to match each pound she lost. She said it was a great visual to see 5 or 10 pounds of potatoes!
Her daughter would ask, "how many potstoes have you lost now mom?"0 -
Well, I have succeeded in moving all 6 magnets on the fridge, and avoiding desserts today. My step counter got reset on me today but I probably biked 6 km today, and went for a yoga class this evening. I'm still short with how much water I drank today.0

A "6 magnet day" that's cool!Well, I have succeeded in moving all 6 magnets on the fridge, and avoiding desserts today. My step counter got reset on me today but I probably biked 6 km today, and went for a yoga class this evening. I'm still short with how much water I drank today.

Well despite the potluck I slid in under my calorie count but I wasn't very satisfied because I had to cut out a lot of things I had planned on for dinner.
But I got my waters in and I am learning what I am willing to do and what I am not.0 -
I did well again yesterday, I was slightly over my calorie limit but I made good choices during the day. 6 magnets again.0

Yesterday wasn't very good. I was out for "transfer student day" (I'm going back to school in the fall) which I was eating well at first, but I then had way too many sweets after. Well, it's a new start today, and today is menu planning day0
