    Tuesday weigh in:
    Last week 210
    This week 211

    Going in the wrong direction. It has been a rough week- pipes froze & burst, caused plenty of damage & a big mess, been stress eating & the treadmill is buried under all the junk we had to pull out of our attic crawl space. Ugh!!!! Well, I did want to remodel, just wasn’t expecting to do it quite yet. I definitely feel better when I walk more & eat healthier. As I tell my husband, I need to just “suck it up buttercup” and move on!!!

    Isn’t it funny how we have something we want to do and then we’re thrown into it before we’re ready! The universe says oh yeah, you want to remodel, here ya go! :)

    Hopefully your process goes smoothly and you can get through without too many bad habits. Our septic tank broke recently and we’re waiting on permits to go through before we can replace it. It’s really hard to make the right decisions when things are in chaos. Just try to not make too many wrong ones.

    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Tuesday, February 12, 2019
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: No
    Exercises: No
    Steps as of posting: 5,211

    Bad migraine again today. Seems to be lightening up so hopefully I’ll be back on the exercise and under calories track tomorrow. I was only over by 100 calories so not a big deal. It was totally worth it in the moment. That brownie sent my migraine spiraling away for a whole 3 minutes :)

    I hope that migrane goes away! I get them maybe once a month... they're horrible! Feel better!


    Thanks @cmhubbard92 !
    Feeling better this morning. Have a wicked stiff neck but looking forward to some form of normalcy today :).

    I think I'm eating back too many of my exercise calories - I weigh myself each morning and my weight is heading in the wrong direction!

    I think we've all been there. I felt the same a couple of weeks ago and @mikea2g gave me a great suggestion of eating just 50% back. Might be something to try.

    Thank you. I try not to eat back more than 50% of my exercise calories. Maybe it was water fluctuations or mistakes in my logging. (if a recipe gives calories per serving I usually use that and adjust for substitutions - but if someone else has done the cooking it is difficult)

    Tracked and under - yes
    Exercise - yes, shoveling, shoveling, and more shoveling

    It seems wrong to hit the "like" button when the exercise is shovelling snow, but it is great exercise!!
