Yesterday, as I read through your posts about your small victories, I was so happy!
You each contribute to this team’s vitality and enthusiasm.
Thanks so much!

Exercise? YESSIR. Not as much as I wanted, though. I walked into the gym intending to jog for 20 minutes, then run another attempt at my bench press 1RM, then do a quick 20 minute total body weights session. Got in, got on the treadmill, and a gym buddy appeared, and he wanted to talk. So I got a 10 minute jog, failed attempt at a 1RM, and 15 minutes of attempting to lift some things. Not ideal. Walked a slightly longer way into work following the sun, though, so not too many complaints.
Calories? So far, so good. Going to a fancy dinner tonight so today is hopefully going to be Miso, Sugar Free Hot Chocolate, Coffee, and looooooooooots of water
Tracking? Again, so far, so good.
T-minus 2 hours until I walk outta here. I can do this. I CAN DO THIS.
Going on a gorgeous all-day hike tomorrow (so possibly a good thing I couldn't run properly this morning!) 7 -
Exercise - 1h30 gym cross training / 1.8k swim

Tracked - yes
Not in the best mood but I acknowledge that eating everything in sight isn't going to make it better. I should be racing Sunday and but won't as I'm not really fit to race yet, got physio next week though so something will start moving.9 -

Sorry your enthusiasm is less than ideal today. Don't be too hard on yourself. Looking at the positive side of things, you DID, more than effectively, tackle your UAC goals for the day, so life is good and you are still a winner!Not in the best mood but I acknowledge that eating everything in sight isn't going to make it better. I should be racing Sunday and but won't as I'm not really fit to race yet, got physio next week though so something will start moving.

I have real issues with sleeping and take a sleeping aid and a 10 mg. melatonin at night. I was also having a diet Coke every day in the afternoon. Well, I gave up the diet Coke a week or so ago and started sleeping so much better. Yesterday, I had a cup of coffee in the afternoon and I was awake with my mind racing for over an hour last night. So, I guess it's decaf for me from now on!6 -

@TeresaW1020 I have the same problem with caffeine after noon. I no longer metabolize it quickly so it blocks my sleep cycle. I have to avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening.

Yes, walked on the treadmill
Yes, under my calories
Yes, logged my calories
I am feeling so good about being consistent about logging my food daily. It really is keeping me on track. And "I" feel so much better physcially too when I am not overeating. I am really happy to be part of this group. 3
