    For 3/1

    1) Eat dinner at the table - :)
    2) Daily meal planning for the following day - :)
    3) Log each whole day in the morning and DON'T EAT/ADD MORE FOOD - :)
    4) Minimum 20 minutes of exercise per day - :( Workout buddy was sick and I caved/didn't go to the gym. Not feeling too guilty over this as I'll be shoveling the driveway for an hour or more today.

    So, this one has taken some thought. I am very bad about just parking myself and not moving. I need to be more mindful of getting in some steps or movement every hour. I also need to be very mindful of reaching for food instead of water.

    3/1
    1) 250 steps per hour for at least 8 hours a day: :)
    2) Reach for water first: :(

    plan it o:)
    log it o:)
    eat it o:)

    Tonight will be hard for me. We have several friends coming over to watch supercross. I normally have a few beers, but I found any beer at all was stopping my weight loss. So only water and a delicious low carb stew for me. Luckily all of my friends are supportive, and one is doing keto too, so that makes it a bit easier.

    There's a Jessica Smith workout video on YouTube called Cardio Ball Ballet. I use a Darth Vader Head Plushie instead of a ball. :lol:

    Did well this weekend food and activity wise, but I know I ate too fast and didn't put that darn fork down because I waited too long to eat dinner both nights.


    Food :+1:
    Water :-1:
    Sleep :-1: Oh, it was bad. The good side of that, tonight will be awesome.
    Utensils :-1: Did good with lunch both days, not great with dinner
    Chewing :-1: Ditto
    Exercise :+1:
    Workout A
    Squat - 3x8 @ 30 lbs
    Pushup - 3x8
    Inverted Row - 3x8
    Back extension - 3x15 @ 115/120/120 lbs

    Will improve mindfulness today.

    I'm being a good little bacon. Did have a bit of a wobble Sat. Ate too much based upon a booze decision. I know I've needed to cut out the whiskey for awhile, but I've finally decided to do it. Which is going to stink. I've given up enough. But I guess I'm giving up one more thing temporarily. :neutral:
    Anyway, I took a "bonus walk" (extra exercise this week) on Sunday, and I'm pretty sure that covered my calorie guffaw.

    I'm achy and tired today. Thanks so much, Sjogren's... :angry: It isn't going to stop me though.
    The scale continues to be the worthless turd it always is. I refuse to give up. Cuz I'm ornery like that.

    Have a good start to your week!
