    SUNDAY CHECK IN

    I did meal prep today... still without a stove.

    For breakfasts, I made air roasted sweet potatoes with microwave baked apple and turkey sausage. Very savory.

    I made a big crock of creamy chicken chili for lunches - under 250 a cup! This will probably be dinner tomorrow night.

    I grilled chicken thighs for dinner tonight and packed this with creamed potatoes and broccoli for lunch Tomorrow.

    Fingers crossed my stove will be delivered soon!!!

    Team WaistAways is challenging everyone for Week 3 to say YES! Week 3 is often a time for a slump, a slip, or just plain tiredness. We have had Just Say No, but this week, give some yeses a chance. Four per day - go check it out:

    I am saying YES! to the following for Monday:

    1: Your SLEEP - lights out by 11 p.m.
    2: Your NUTRITION - Eat more fruit
    3: Your STRESS - get my old phone ready to transfer over to my new phone
    4: Your EXERCISE - I don't want to...so I am only committing to 5 minutes on elliptical.

    Today did not work out as planned. I am sure my diary is way off and I ate more than I thought at the party. I probably should do a quick add calories for a 500 but inaccurate logging for 1 day won’t kill me. I did not get any extra walks in to burn off those calories as things happened such as I forgot to buy my granddaughter a present among others. I did not meet my step goal of 8000 and I was to tired to even try for a walk to finish to really the 8000.

    Yesterday’s steps: 10,838

    I WILL SAY YES!!!

    1. Yes to more SLEEP - in the bed by 9 and lights out by 10
    2. Yes to DEFICIT -- I will maintain under 1300 cal every day M-F
    3. Yes to EXERCISE - I will not be in last place in the Workweek Hustle again...
    4. Yes to FRIENDSHIP - I will be supportive of my team and friends outside of SA.

    Last week was rough. My boyfriend ended up in the ER when a gas grill exploded and even though he is okay now, it really shook me up. I am a little ashamed to say that I haven’t been tracking my food at all. I am going to do better this week.

    Here is all my info for the past week.

    My YES for today:
    1: SLEEP - Going to bed by 12:00 (I am typically in bed at 2:00)
    2: NUTRITION - Only eating what is meal prepped
    3: STRESS - 15 minutes in the sauna to meditate and hanging one wall panel in the bathroom (this remodel is going to be the death of me)
    4: EXERCISE - 3 sets of 15 of arms, 15 minutes on the treadmill, and two laps in the pool (we got a gym membership over the weekend)

    I am up 1.5 pounds, but not too upset over it. I went out to eat with the folks 2 times this week, bought 4 deli meals from Walmart, and yes, I did feel sorry for myself yesterday and bought BOTH lunch and dinner to-go from Panda Express. Except for yesterday's meals I tried to stay within my calories. But I know there was lots of sodium in all those meals, especially the 2 days of Chinese food. And I have learned over time, that I really retain a lot of water from salt.

    Interesting note. I noticed during this week, and the last time that I had a sodium heavy week, that my joints and back were aching a lot more. It made me realize that since I have been on my diet, my joint and back aches and pains have really improved, but that the excess sodium makes it worse.

    I am just going to use my weight from last week. I went to the doctor on Saturday and I was given the great news of pneumonia so I have not been enthusiastic to do anything....

    I found a good article that was really insightful for me and l wanted to share it with you guys!

    http://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/

    It really explains all the factors of why weight loss is so inconstant and difficult to track in a fun and digestible format.

    MORNING CHUCKLE
    ...followed by an eye roll

    For those who have been following the plight of not having a stove... I called the store this morning to check on the status and try to schedule delivery. It is 'in the store' but they can't find it. SMH!!!
