    @Kres567 thank you! It’s a struggle cause my meds have steroids. That’s why I’m always looking for suggestions for a more veggie based, decreased animal diet. It’s better for my condition.

    My goals for today:
    1. Get off the computer and get a walk in before work because it's crazy hot here the rest of the day.
    2. Drink 80 oz water.
    3. Use the step platform again tonight.
    4. Celebrating our anniversary with dinner out tonight, so choose carefully and only eat a few (can I hold it to 5 or less?) small bites of their famous dessert.
    5. Track all food.
    6. Continue with No Junk Food Challenge (until that dessert).

    My monthly membership is only $20 a month for unlimited on demand classes. You don’t need the Peloton treadmill to complete the workouts. I don’t know about the spin classes - haven’t tried one of them. I was able to do a 14 day free trial. You should try that and see if you like it.

    @nlalamin04 - FYI - I eat entirely plant-based and am happy to be a resource of some kind.

    @UTMom81 - Another stepper! I'll be interested to see if you enjoy your platform. I got in my stepping yesterday.
    As far as the No junk Food Challenge -- congratulations on a great day! Impressive!
    I love your plan for today! And, yes, good plans do need to include things like dessert on anniversary night.

    @digger61 - Love that walk! And your meal planning for the week is such a smart move!

    @mrmcgrath - What a great day! And, yes, never underestimate the power of yoga to kick your behind. It sounds so relaxing, but wow, it can really be a workout!

    @Kres567 - What an excellent day! And you are super smart to up the water today to deal with the extra sodium in pizza.

    @TeresaW1020 - An offer of over your asking price already! Wow! And congratulations!
    Whatever tomorrow's number looks like, remember that you have been paying attention and that the number is so much better than if you had not paid attention and eaten whatever while dealing with the stress and bustle of selling the house. It's all a journey, and you are doing so great!

    @AustinRuadhain I would love some meal prep ideas. This is all new to me trying to minimize my animal product intake but I know it will be good for my blood pressure; as well as my overall health.

    Busy day with taking hubby to a doctor appointment to remove skin cancer from his arm. He will be just fine! And then a three-hour staff meeting to deal with some major changes. I will resume packing tomorrow. :)

    That is interesting! I didn't know you could do the Peloton membership without owning their equipment. So you use your own treadmill?

    Yes I do. I use my iPad to play the on demand programs. It’s amazing - coach led classes using their music. So much variety and options. It includes boot camps, strength training, yoga, meditation, stretching, walking, running programs. I’m sure I’ve missed some in the list.

    It has been great to fit in with my schedule. I highly recommend it.

    We have accepted an offer on the house!!! :D We actually had four offers presented to us yesterday and got over our asking price. So, I am super happy and very relieved. We just need to keep the house decent for the inspection and the appraisal. Then I can pack it all up!! B)

    Weight is down this morning so today's plan is to watch my carbs and hope for the best for tomorrow's weigh-in. :)

    Congratulations! I know that has to be a load off of your shoulders! Good for you!

    Tuesday Check In
    Calories: over
    Exercise: Pre-work walk, 8000 steps
    Water: not quite enough, but not bad
    No Junk Food Challenge: did great until anniversary dinner (32 years deserves a little celebration). Did split the dessert with hubby though, so it could have been twice as bad. ;-)
    Tomorrow: Back on Track in all respects!
