Ok, this is my first time at addressing members so fingers crossed and hope it works!
@newbie2143, YES you can do this! When you find a good 'learn to meditate' app please share. I will see what I find. I too wonder about @Juliepax & @ jppiehl. Hope all is ok.
@CaptainBoing, sure hope you are recovering well from your concussion. I am sure slow and steady is the way to go for a little while.
@White_hibiscus, how exciting for you to see your husband soon! It was my son who I was counting down the days for his return from his deployment. Hubby & I rented a limo to go pick him up at the unit! It was so grand!

Got a bit off track in this group missed a few days but still tracked food and such. I skipped out on my workouts wed-fri.
Date reporting about: 2/13
Took vitamins & other meds: Yes
Physical activity: fitbit steps not as many as I would like.
Water (24-64floz): 30floz & coffee
Logged food intake: Yes
Eating 3-6 times daily: completely failed the last few days. Not eating enough. My schedule is crazy so after work late at night is when I am eating since I'm starving by then but not hungry all day. In the last week before my last meal I was only eating 400-900 calories. Then after the last meal still short 600 cal on average.
Goal weight for 3/1: 198
Current weight: 198.8 finally holding under 200 for more than a day. That's all I want to stay under 200 from now on.
Current struggles: eating through out the day and not eating 1-2 hr before bed.
Current strengths: The strength to see that I'm not treating my body well and that's the reason I have stayed the same weight for years. I was unintentionally starving myself and so my body held onto every calorie I ate. I also ate high carb & sugar and low protein which is the worse. It's getting better but its a struggle that I did not realize I had until I started tracking my calories.0 -
Date: Saturday 13 Feb Traveling most of the day for competition I didn't get to fight in due to nausea
Armbar drills: No
Hanging crunches: no
Exercise minutes: no
Stayed under calorie goal: No, didn't track
Other healthy habits to focus on: low carb! Not really.
Goal weight for 28 Feb competition: Under 68 kgs
Current weight on 14 Feb : 69.2kgs
Current struggles: possible minor concussion from judo... Going to doctor on Monday
Current strengths: choosing to not fight even though I really wanted to. The next competition is bigger and more important but then so is my health and if it is concussion, I really shouldn't be messing with it!0 -
@jppiehl, me too!It's getting better but its a struggle that I did not realize I had until I started tracking my calories.
@CaptainBoing, That's a hard decision, but very wise... I hope it goes well for you at the doctor on Monday.CaptainBoing wrote: »choosing to not fight even though I really wanted to.
