    Monday check in......
    Calories great
    Water decent
    Exercise: I finally had a cardio/weights workout! Started slow with 30 minutes. 15,000 steps today.

    Goal for tomorrow: track food and water, workout or high steps, and plan more specific goals.

    Very happy with my day.

    Great start to the week and getting back to your routine and schedule! Awesome steps!

    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. :s

    Good luck on the snowcation! Hope you get the call. I totally get it!

    Monday check-in
    Calories: under
    Water: yep!
    Exercise: just 8722 steps, and went on an extra walk to bring that up, should already be doing better today.

    Goals: something beginning with P - Patience. Finding the injured husband's grumps particularly trying at the moment.

    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!

    This laundry walk thing is so funny to me! This actually came up in a doctors office once when they were telling me that I might be borderline adhd. They asked with their head tilted “you put laundry away one item at a time?” I always was a little ashamed by that process until I heard you guys are doing it on purpose!!

    I still try not to do one item at a time for steps, but do extremely vigorous cleaning instead! This gets even more steps, more muscle action, and lots gets done. If Jackie can have the laundry walk, could I have the Power Clean? 😀

    Weigh in week:  Week 2
    Weigh in day: Tuesday
    Previous Weight: 217.8
    Todays Weight: 218.6

    Ugghhh I gained exactly what I lost last week!! I'm not sure what I did wrong because I was losing every day this week and then this morning I had a big jump in my weight. All I can think of is that I had a Premier Protein in the afternoon (which is really high in sodium) and then I worked out. Maybe that is a combo that I need to watch from now on. :/

    Steps 2/11- 6711

    I could do with the laundry walk AND the power clean! Would sure improve my home and my weight, win win😉

    Monday &Tuesday consolidated check in
    Under/on point cals
    36,750 steps over the 2 days, made up of walks/run on treadmill/general pottering

    I’m doing pretty ok all round. Macros aren’t quite where I’d like them but I’m eating ok & I’m not starving. That’s success for me

    @TeresaW1020 - you could really benefit from tracking your average weight, clearly a fluctuation which would have smoothed out that sodium gain. If you’re weighing everyday you certainly have the data to track.

    My home office would benefit greatly from a power clean, if you are interested...

    Tuesday Check In
    Calories: under, way under actually
    Exercise: got in a 20 min walk before work, then went to the gym after work for a 45 min elliptical session and some weight training (not free weights yet though), also over 14k steps
    Water: still a little short, but not too bad

    Goals: hit both goals today, but I was fairly reserved when I set them.
    For tomorrow:
    Stay in the green
    At least 10k steps
    Increase water to at least 80 oz.
    Pack a healthy lunch

    Today felt really good! Hopefully, I can pull off another good one tomorrow.

    That would totally do it for me @TeresaW1020. I always gain after a workout and definitely salt.

    Tuesday check in a little late...

    Calories were over but I am making sure I track, so I feel ok....baby steps
    Water not where it needs to be...work in progress
    Exercise. Didn’t want to do it, was feeling so tired, but I forced myself. Lower body/core and cardio. Feels so great to be working out again and the music is good for my mental health as well. I have been missing that these last several weeks.
    Goals for today.
    1. Tracking everything. (the good and bad)
    2. Reduce my sugar intake. I have become addicted again...out of control! Hate the cravings.
    3. Eat fruit or vegetable at every meal
    4. Increase my water intake and track it.
    5. Exercise tonight
    6. Close the kitchen early

    Goals to work toward.
    1. Continue tracking everything but stay within limits.
    2. Get back to nighttime fasting (that 13 hour fast works well for me.) Thanks @AustinRuadhain
    3. Weight training every week.

    Thank you @Kres567 @AustinRuadhain for encouraging words.
    @JenAWhite love the vigorous clean story.
    @Wishusdonna hang in there. I know how hard it is dealing with spouse’s crankies. Hope he is recovered soon. Also love the porridge squat!

    I love how everyone is trying to sign @JenAWhite up for her Power Clean! Made me laugh this morning.
