Physical activity: No, had to wait for a sofa to be delivered between 5:00-9:00pm. Why do they always come at the END of the delivery window? Swimming today.
Logged food intake: yes, stayed under calorie goal
Avoid late afternoon snack: Yes
Work on meditation: Yes.
Goal weight for 3/1: 138.5 (1.5 lbs/week)
Current weight: tbd Friday
Current struggles: I haven't had a great week for my daily physical activity goal. Need to refocus on this. I really believe it is necessary to do some kind of regular workout when you are restricting calories, in order to keep the metabolism going...
Current strengths: Hitting my calorie goals is not much of a problem during the week. I need to pay close attention on the weekend when social eating can get in the way of my goals.0 -
@ameerah3333, how is the meal prep going?
@jppiehl , how are you doing?
@Julipax , we haven't heard from our fearless leader in a while. I sincerely hope everything is OK and you have just been too busy to check in lately.0 -

^@bellew62802, you're doing great with your plank challenge! I might try that next month.
Report for : 2/17
Physical activity: yes, swam 1400m.
Logged food intake: yes, stayed under calorie goal
Avoid late afternoon snack: Yes
Work on meditation: Yes.
Goal weight for 3/1: 138.5 (1.5 lbs/week)
Current weight: 140.5 (weighed myself a day early because I will be travelling tomorrow).
+/- vs. last week: -0.5lbs. Not surprised, given decreased activity level this week and larger wt. loss than expected last week... Going in the right direction, anyway . 140 lbs is a huge psychological hurdle for me, looking forward to smashing through it!
Current struggles: Heading out on a short trip (to warmth and sun, yay!)...I'm a little worried about staying on track away from home. There will likely be some splurges over the next 5 days, but I will do my best.
Current strengths: I know I can take MFP with me to help me stay on track!

@gaminaltime , Hello and welcome!! Boot the munchies to the curb and bring in the fruits,amd veggies for snacks. Carrots are a nice and crunchy snack and take a bit of time to chew so maybe that would help :-)
@newbie2143 , it sure is a challenge to do the planks for 2 minutes. Sounds easy but boy it takes all I've got and then some to keep my butt from dragging! Lol!
