    @Jactop Do you have a set amount of days you want to go without junk food? I tried to go 7 days without chocolate a couple of months ago and only lasted 5, lol I really love chocolate!
    Awesome loss, congrats on losing the holiday weight!

    Hey you guys

    @tlgale & @hnyzthms I made it to the gym!!! Thanks for checking in on me. I went for an hour. I'd been gone so long theres all new machines there.
    @hnyzthms I had the same trouble today. Couldn't log in the food for most of the day...
    I was looking for stuff at the grocery store today to satisfy the chocolate craving...I came up with nothing
    I need a guilt free substitute myself but what?
    Hang in there

    Okay, I logged Fri,Sat & Sunday and currently logging today.
    Calories: under or close to it.
    Water: yes
    Exercise: the past 2 days

    Starting: 183
    Weighed today (Monday)...181

    I was sick for a bit which I’m sure helped, but tracking is making me feel much better. A coworker said, I think you are the only person who lost weight over the holidays :-)

    @RoseyandReady Losing over the holidays is a huge accomplishment..great job :smile:

    @aroze0928 I find fiber one brownies good..only 90 calories and very chocolatey. Also people tell me dates taste like chocolate..I've always assumed they were lying so I've never actually tried them to see though lol.

    I'm aiming for 3 months for health reasons. My Dr wants me to take meds for diabetes and I'm determined to lower my blood sugar with diet and exercise. I also have chronic leukemia and I want to see if staying on a low carb diet will improve my numbers. My biggest challenge will be going back to work on Thursday where I'll be surrounded by chocolate 😋

    Having a cup of hot chocolate helps me get through a chocolate craving....sometimes I have the regular store bought kind with little marshmallows for something super fast and when I don’t care about sugar or I make a healthier version with water, coconut milk, cocoa powder, little bit of chocolate protein powder to sweeten up and a drop of peppermint (I love chocolate mint stuff) whisk it.

    Thank you! I’m coming off of Prednisone, so the pounds are shedding. The withdrawal symptoms are rather hellish, but exercise helps to mitigate them. So that’s a win-Win!

    @redrob1966 I hope that goes away for you its so aggrivating. When I get it my index finger just on my left hand goes numb. It drives me nutty. Lots of stretching helps me.

    Monday check in

    Track- yes
    Calories- under
    Exercise- 11,842 steps and an hour at the gym, stair machine and strength training
    Goals- Going back to the gym today. Im already bored with all this exercise but I'm down 2.5 pounds since Fridays weighin so its keeping me motivated.. Im happy I've started.
    I wore a shirt over my bathing suit ALL last summer. I dont want to have to do that again this year. Its embarrassing and depressing and everyone around you knows why its on.

    That hot chocolate can really help, the homemade version sounds tasty.

    I forgot to mention I finally made the spaghetti squash last night. It was so good. I was suprised. And really effortless to make.
    Now what to do with the spiralizer. I'll have to look up some ideas. Im trying to use vegetables as my only side dish to my protein. Last night I made egg noodles with the chicken and didnt eat any. Thats a win for me.
    Im not crazy about going all out low carb or keto, just want to minimize them at night.

    Have a good day!

    thank you aroze0928 I need to try and mix up my exercise as well keep planning it but things seem to keep getting in the way. I did start the squat challenge last year that's a good burner in the mornings and gets everything going. I shall be starting that from tomorrow and will add it into my updates so it kind of keeps me focused on getting them done.

    hope everybody is having a good week keep smiling tomorrow is the middle of the week. :)

    I went to Curves today. The last day is this Friday and they will be closing their doors for good in my area. I just started going again in September. I use to go about 10 years ago, when I was in my late twenties. I just needed something to get me focused, so know I'm in a dilemma again. I might join Planet Fitness, because they have a circuit too. It's a little farther from my house, but not too far. Eventually, I want to join a Boot Camp, just not ready yet.
