Back from my son’s hockey tournament - his team won the whole thing!
I didn’t do too bad with food this weekend. Stayed away from the arena food, no alcohol, no bad food in our hotel room.
Got home tonight and got a treadmill workout in which felt great.
Goals for tomorrow:
1. Plan my meals in the morning
2. Drink at least 80ozs of water
3. Wear my Fitbit and try for 7K steps
3. Fold laundry and put it away - do @Jactop’s laundry walk to help me with my steps!
What is Jactop’s laundry walk? @Kres567 - congrats on hockey win!! And on success navigating a healthy tournament weekend!!
The laundry walk is getting lots of extra steps in by putting away each individual item one by one after folding. Example - after I fold my daughters shirt I walk to her room and put it away in her closet. Come back to the pile of laundry and do the same with the next item. My house has stairs so I also get a bit of a leg workout in. One time I think I got an extra 3,000 steps!7 -

I did the laundry walk on Friday!! Such a great idea @Jactop
I had to go from my kitchen - through lounge area, upstairs to bedroom - and back. I put something like 20 pieces of clothes away one at a time this way. Jogged back & forth. Really racked up the steps😬

I agree @Jactop laundry walk is a great idea. I do it often. Lol. I also like her suggestion to think about people sneezing or not washing their hands and touching food that you want to avoid eating.
I feel it is time that I can start checking in and getting back to the land of the living. Need to give some thoughts to specific goals. It’s been awhile. Lol2 -

Hey, @sunshineplace - We are glad you are here. Ramp things up at whatever speed works for you. 🤗🤗3 -
Monday Check-in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: 40 minute treadmill walk
Today was a busy day at work so I did way too much sitting. I have an eye appointment tomorrow and not sure if I will be able to work out or not. I've never had my eyes dilated and I probably will tomorrow since hubby is making go to his eye doctor instead. Hmm?
Steps:
2/9-8081
2/10-4218 (day off and too much sitting
) 4 -
Monday Check in
Calories - under
Water - not enough
Exercise - 5.5 mile run
Run went much better than expected, given the circumstances of the last couple of weeks. It was slow, but no walking and no issues with breathing.
We are supposed to be getting a snowstorm tomorrow, so now I'm sitting here waiting and hoping for an early dismissal call. I feel like mine is the only school district that isn't going to call it.

In two years with this group, I've never gotten into the groove of check-ins on the weekend. I think it is my weird second job schedule. Anyway, I did good with the cookie challenge on Saturday (as in no cookies). The knee didn't get the workout (via snow shovel) that it had the three previous weekends and, as a result, is actually functional today.
As for Monday (and Saturday and Sunday)...
Calories - under
Water - not enough, never enough
Exercise - not so much (still on reduced activity due to knee)
Goals for Tuesday - Pre-log food for the rest of the week.4 -
Monday Checkin
Calories: under
Water: on target; going to go drink a cup of warm herbal tea now to bump myself over the line
Exercise: martial arts, plus some bonus yoga
Tuesday: Stay on food plan, meet/exceed the water goal, and get at least some walking in (45+ min after evening meeting) so the steps number to post tomorrow night isn't as embarrassing! I need to plan walks on Monday and Wednesday to make up for low steps those days (steps in martial arts class are not counted). Probably not going to get a walk in tonight, though, as busy with work.

@UTMom81 and @TeresaW1020 my heart breaks for both of you. My kids are in their early twenties and I can't imagine what you both are dealing with. Your strength is inspiring.
Sunday and Monday check in
Calories: under today
Water: good
Exercise: nothing formal. Steps are lite today but 14k yesterday with a laundry walk
Tomorrow's goal: stick to my food plan and squeeze in some strength training. I've been slacking in that area lately1 -
