Looks like the salesperson was right then! They were so comfy when I tried them on in the store. I can't wait to put them to work.2 -

I was afraid going over my calories yesterday would affect my weight today and it did
I think it's mostly water weight. My sister is in town and staying with my parents so my mom and grandma have been cooking lots of big meals for her. I had been OK with my portions but I wasn't too active just sitting around visiting. I have my exercise planned out for the week, now I need to plan my meals.

My goals for the week of February 19:
1. A minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night
2. Check & update my daily calendar/to do list each morning & evening.
3. Daily cardio activity at least 30 minutes
4. Strength training at least 10 minutes (6 days)
Last week was a bit frazzled. I do better when my days are more orderly. To reach my goals this year, I must be more disciplined in a number of areas in my life. So, this week I will continue to log daily and stay within my calorie range, but in addition to that my goals for the week will focus on the habits that need to be more engrained as I move forward.

Family sometimes gets in the way of our daily progress, but not our overall progress. Good for you to have a plan for the week, and not just a wish for the week!!1 -

Spoke to fracture clinic today, 3 weeks of strapping my finger to its buddy, then some physio. So not too bad for healing times as far as breaks go.
3 weeks at maintenance will be a nice little change of pace, and hopefully help me transition to full-time maintenance once I reach my target weight.2 -

Monday, Feb 19
Calories: Yes
Tracking: Yes
Exercise: Yes (30 minutes cardio, 10 minutes strength training)
Today wouldn't have happened a few months ago. I worked in my home office all day and then just wanted to eat and go chill in bed and watch TV. But then I remembered that I had tracked and was within my calories. 20 minutes of exercise isn't that much and I could find something to do for cardio that wouldn't kill me. That way I could log yeses here and in another similar challenge. But then I thought that 10 more minutes wouldn't be much more and that's the cardio goal I set for myself.
By the time that was done, I thought that 10 minutes of strength training isn't that much. I could do that. It's only 10 minutes and I would be able to get credit for meeting my personal daily exercise goal. About a month ago, I decided to just put a gym in our sunroom. Like why not? You may not see something like that in a home magazine, but it works. Anyway, my sons had been working out. My eldest is starting to work out (26 year old) and his younger brother (24) was happy to help him. The younger had done his workout earlier in the day. And I thought, well, they did their workouts. I can certainly do something for 10 minutes (trying to create the habit).
So, it may not seem like much to some. But to me it's huge that I saw it through and did it. Some days are easy. Today was a do it anyway day.

This is awesome and resonates with me so much! Not every work out is going to be stellar. And we may not even be excited about doing it. But sometimes you just gotta do what you can muster up the motivation to do. And that is something! As compared to doing nothing. Thank you for sharing! And high five to you for reaching your goal for today!2 -
