    Weigh in - Yes
    Water - Yes
    New Recipe/Food - Keto ice cream for dinner (nothing else in fridge, bad planning)
    Planned Workout - No
    Logging - Yes

    Disappointed that I keep making excuses for not working out. It's all in my head and I need to get over myself.

    New to the group. And gradually getting into community. Travel full time.love being a nomad, but i have eaten like i was on vacation. 2018 will be the year i change my diet and movement lifestyle. I function well with lower carbs and more protein. I have learned a lot from reading in your group. I like the idea of focusing on basics and keeping it simple. That is why i have chosen this lifestyle. My goals for the remainder of this month are:
    Stay under carb count
    Stay under calorie count
    5000 steps a day (or exercise)

    Looking forward to sharing and learning

    For the week:
    Ate only when hungry: all days but one
    Ate until satisfied: all days but one - I’m still in the habit of eating everything on my plate, even when full. This is proving challenging when ordering out as servings are normally large

    All caught up for the week. With time on my hands, what's so hard about getting an hour of exercise in each day? Nuthin'. Don't have to like it. Just have to do it. Done. :)

    Goals:
    Stay in carb range (except my b-day celebration)

    Good most of the week except an indiscretion at DQ one evening and stress eating an entire gluten free pizza Saturday night. :(

    Continue working out several times per week (started getting back on track last month)

    Good here. Got in like 5 workouts and have been embarked on a major cleaning project.

    Trying to do more things that are fun and that I enjoy to avoid the depression that winter and my b-day often brings.

    Still getting used to life without our dog. We did one dinner out with friends and a b-day dinner for our nephew that was nice. This weekend we had an outlet catch on fire so that was not fun. Thank God our house didn't catch fire but it's really unsettling to know that if I hadn't been standing right there that moment it would have. ughhhh

    I missed the part bout checking in daily, too.

    For the week of 1/18:

    Water: I was NOT great about tracking this, and started drinking more coffee and iced tea toward the end of the week. I need to get serious about drinking and logging actual water more frequently.
    Electrolytes Good: :) supplementing helped a lot. Still haven't had a nice Epsom Salt bath. Maybe tonight. I have exhausted our stash of pickle and olive juice. Picked up some bottled bone broth at the grocery store today, will see how I like it.
    Logged Food: :)
    Exercise as Planned: I did manage to walk 3 days this week. It's going to be more of a challenge with colder weather this coming week.
    At or Under Carb Level: I have a generous carb allowance, but I did stay on plan in terms of no grains (other than white rice) and no added sugar.
    At or Under Calorie Limit: 6/7 days
    Planned Day Ahead: Yes, for the most part. I ended up with no time to prep/plan for my roadtrip, but it worked out pretty well anyway.

    SW: 185.4
    EW: 181.2 (but back up to 183.2 this morning, so I think yesterday's low may have been a fluke.)
