    For either Saturdar or Sunday chat-themes (as I realize most will have chores to do one day or the other)
    Please pick and comment on one . Respond to what others post. (You can respond to another one tomorrow if no time today 😉 )

    Status check / Strategize: what went well this past week? Keep it up, or build on the success and push your envelope a bit farther . What went not-as-well-as-planned? How can you tweak your strategy to do better this coming week?

    Self-care / Self-love: We focus soooo much on the outer shell ... food choices, intentional activity exercise to burn even more calories ..... how is the Inner You doing?

    Don't forget to play! Live life like someone left the gate open!

    STEPS:
    04/06-14925

    Status check / Strategize: what went well this past week? I stuck to my workout plan...made all my classes and upped my weights...
    What went not-as-well-as-planned? Almost all our planned meals this week went out the window...I am literally trying to out run a bad diet this week. MY EXCUSE - my mom is in rehab hospital from a bus accident and she had a bad week, so I ended up unprepared!!

    This week will be better!! Mom is better...kids are good...our oldest is moving back home :( She taking my workout room...1 more stressful thing to add into my life!! Grrrrrrr

    OK TEAM WAISTAWAYS!!

    This looks like a great way to get your workouts and/or steps done every 24 hours. Want to play? You have to be ready and willing to do this and report every day.

    If you are already in the step team, you can do both while reporting just one time. Some of you are good for lots of doubles and triples :smiley:

    I am in! I need 5 teammates! (if there are more than 6, we'll work out something, don't worry!)

    Sorry this was late - but I got it put in and will tell the moderators you weighed in. If it is possible to get Saturday weigh-ins reported early that really helps! Thanks - it takes a while to get used to our weird schedule, but it is really fun if you are counted in the weekly tally. Even when the changes are small, they all add up across the team. Keep up the good work! Every bit counts.

    chargers are so annoying. I just had to order a whole new earbud thingy because I lost the case, which is also the charger. Sigh. Your steps are usually amazing, so this just makes you seem like more human!! Charge that thing up, and we'll know you are superhuman again.

    April, Week 1
    Weigh in Day, Friday
    PW: 163.0
    CW: 162.6

    My vacation has definitely set me back a ways. I really want to get to 155 by months's end. That's just 7 lbs.. I think I'd doing everything right but the weight either climbs a pound, creeps down .5 pound or stays put. My calories are under or at goal everyday and I'm exercising 2 - 3 times a week. I know my water intake is dismal (24 to 32 oz a day). Can water really make THAT much of a difference? It feels like two steps forward, one step back. I don't seem to be making much progress. I think I need to do something differently - I guess, increasing my water would be one.

    Step Count 4/4 - 10,704

    It is all a grand experiment on yourself. I found that every time I eat grains, especially flour, I put on weight immediately, no matter if the total calories are under. I can eat plenty of carbs from vegetables, legumes (beans) or fruit, but grains and I do not mix well. I still eat them sometimes, but I know that they have an immediate stalling effect.

    For some people it is grains, for some it might be something else. I did the somewhat painful but really revealing Whole 30 experiment. I can NOT eat that much animal protein, not ever. But the experiment of eliminating all dairy, grains, legumes, sugars, alcohol and only eating protein, fats (except trans) and vegetables for 30 days and then re-introducing things one at a time really showed me several things. First, that it was WAY too much animal protein and that set my digestion into a real tizzy. Second, that the most important thing for me to re-introduce first was legumes. Third, that grains were NOT making me feel well at all. That surprised me. When I re-introduced grains, and they were healthy whole grains, my heart rate went way up for at least an hour every time I ate them. And I held more weight whenever I ate them. So even though I really hated the month on whole 30, I learned a lot. Since then, I continue to eat fish and yogurt (non-fat that I make myself) as my only animal proteins. I avoid grain most of the time. I eat more legumes and love them to pieces. About 80 percent of every plate is vegetables. I eat fruit every day as well, but not as much. I eat much less fat than the trendy diets, but still feel I get a satisfying amount of it.

    So keep experimenting. When you gain or do not lose, you have learned something. Track everything and see what works and what doesn't. Feel your heart rate, survey your digestion, and see how things change. Your tastes will change too - even though there are some terrible nose-dives from time to time along the way! You are starting to ask the right questions. Start with water but don't stop there.

    Great advice! I will keep experimenting to see what works for me.
