Thursday Check in
Calories: Wayyyy over!!
Water: under
Exercise: not one little bit!
So, today I drove an hour both ways to see Gone With The Wind, which is a four-hour movie. So not much activity and I baggie full of trail mix was consumed in those four hours. But it was worth it and sometimes you just gotta go all out and take a day off from everything. Tomorrow, I will be back on the horse!4 -
Happy birthday @TeresaW1020 ! It sounds like you had fun with your movie!2

Wednesday Check In
Calories: over but only by 120
Exercise: morning walk and some stairs at work, 10k steps
Water: not enough unless you count coffee and Diet Coke. lol
Tomorrow: Lots of meetings, so try to get in a longer walk before work, then look for ways to do little things during the day (wall sits, a little yoga, stairs, etc.)
@19shmoo69 and @broncobuddee would totally support and give a thumbs up to your “water” intake! 🤣🤣🤣
Coffee always counts for water intake.3 -
Is there a link to the March chat?1

I'm trying to get better particularly at cutting out the snacking in front of the TV which is my biggest weakness. I'm trying to have tea instead which is working so far, but know I need to work on my addiction to processed sugar.
@Jaybo37 had suggested healthyish high fibre cereal as a snack at night if hungry and it really worked for me a couple of times. If felt like a treat and filled me up.
@dee_toronto - If you want another thing to try, my go-to snack is apple slices and walnut pieces. I make a 100 calorie snack out of 10 grams of walnut bits and about 55 grams of thinnish slices of my favorite apple. I put a walnut piece on an apple slice, and get a mouthful of sweet crisp apple and smooth rich walnut.
I am a huge fan of herbal teas, and some of those really do a great job of hitting the spot when I want something sweet. I often drink a cup of something like Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice in the evening. No calories, but the apple and cinnamon and spice flavors seem wonderfully indulgent.
Oh I love apple slices with peanut butter. Yum. And speaking of herbal teas I highly recommended licorice root tea. I hate black licorice but this tea is the bomb. Licorice root is naturally much sweeter than sugar but no calories in the tea. You do have to watch how much you consume though because it can cause high blood pressure if you drink a lot of it.2 -

Thursday check in...
Calories(or points in my case) were great. I even have a rollover left for tomorrow.
Water was fantastic.
Exercise stellar. 16,101 with a 50 min weight training session. I racked up some activity points today which I will be trading for cocktails and dinner out this weekend. 😁
Goals for tomorrow: keep racking up those activity points, and keep doing what I’m doing well. Make at least one improvement during my weekend.
@TeresaW1020 I totally agree that sometimes you just gotta let it all go and enjoy.1 -
Thursday Check In
Calories: under
Exercise: longer walk in the morning and was at the office (and out of meetings) long enough to sneak in an elliptical break. Hey, I figure if people can go out numerous times a day and smoke, then I can sneak in a 7-10 minute stint on the elliptical, right? AND, I refuse to take the elevator to it, so I get in 4 flights of stairs each way. ;-) Over 9.5K steps. Had I looked at that last night, I'd have done 400 steps around my house before bed. Also got in some wall sits.
Water: Got in 64 oz of water (not counting coffee/Diet Coke), but didn't make it to 80. But that's an improvement.
Tomorrow (really today since I'm late):- Stay in the green.
- Another elliptical session.
- At least 64 oz water.
- Friday evening gym session???

Are we starting the new conversation thread on Sunday?
Happy March everyone! So much closer to Spring now!
Also, if a spot opens up in the steps challenge (if we are still continuing it) I'm game. Do not want anyone to give up a spot for me though.1 -

Steps: -I need to be out for March!! I was so inspired by this step challenge that I copied it at work and have over 60 people in it. I’ll be logging all those, so better take a break logging steps here for the month. maybe @UTMom81 could have my spot!!1

Hey everyone - please star the new thread for March,. We will begin using it on Sunday.2 -

That’s amazing Jen! It’s great when we can influence others with our good habits.
I think (but not confirmed) that the step challenge may be paused for a while. Some of the captains are step tired from tracking and logging all of the steps.2
