@TeresaW1020 my steps for Oct 10 were pitifully low. I can't even remember why. I think I was working. only 2604

I'm going to look at the spreadsheet and see what my grand total was and see if I can do better this week. I feel like I'm beginning to get a handle on my life again.

Oct 14 steps 6693

5 for 90

1. Quiet time- I'm not meditating but will take a few minutes tonight to journal.
2. Water- oops! I went for a walk and forgot to bring it with me but I did take water to the gym.
3. No fast food- check.
4. Exercise- I went to the gym and just did some light core work.
5. Grateful- today was a holiday here, so I'm grateful I got everything ready for work tomorrow!

Calories- I have been under yesterday and today I won't jinx it as the day isn;t over yet!

@kres567 - So sorry to hear about your loss

Monday Check In:
Calories: under, 17 net carbs
Exercise: BOD Barre program and a 10-minute speed walk on the treadmill.

Well, my back was hurting at work today. NO idea why? Was I sitting wrong? Maybe! Then I came home and worked out, which felt fine. Then I decided to take a bath in my new tub and soak for a while. That went ok but as I stepped out of the tub and picked up my towel my back freaked out and now I can barely move! It is soooo annoying and will probably affect my workout tomorrow since hubby is now involved in my agony and behaving all doctor like. Uggghhh!!

Steps: 10/13-6665


5 for 90
1. Make some time for myself—did my Bible study
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day—did the 30 Beachbody on Demand Barre exercises and 10 minutes of speed walking on the treadmill
3. Hydrate-drank all my water!
4. Give up a “Trigger Food”—I did pretty well today. Ate too much bacon at dinner!
5. Thankful—Today, I’m thankful for having an awesome vet that took care of my little dogs teeth without any problems.

Under Construction Twist challenge:
Day 2: “Make some time for yourself” My favorite thing to do that is just for myself is to watch Master Chef on TV while playing Candy Crush.

@TeresaW1020 thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It means so much. This too shall pass.

@Kres567 I’m so sorry to hear about your mom.

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven’t been around for a week. My mom passed away suddenly last week. Ive flown home to where my parents live to help with the arrangements. My husband and kids are flying in tonight for the funeral this week.

I probably won’t be checking in much until next weekend when I get back to Calgary.

Take care everyone!

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. Much love to you and your family.

I haven't been around in a bit, sorry for being a bad teammate. Been having trouble sleeping and my chronic pain is acting up.

Monday weigh-in
Last week: 129.2
Today: 126
Calories under
Water over
Exercise haven't worked out for 2 days now, though I did some cleaning in the middle of the night.

Food is good, I've been decluttering the house and discovered recipes I want to try and experimented with a new recipe yesterday so that's made things more interesting. Seems a little surreal to be approaching goal now, I'll have to learn a new normal and am not quite sure how that'll look.

@Katmary71 - We are SO sorry about the chronic pain. Having it affect your sleep is so very challenging. I hope things settle down a bit soon. 👐👐
Wow! What a great weigh-in! Congratulations!
What was the new recipe?
As far as the new normal - please share your journey on this!

@Kres567 - We are thinking of you and your family. 👐👐

@TeresaW1020 - I am thinking of you this morning and hoping your back is a bit better today. 👐👐

Tuesday Check-in:
Calories: under, 14 net carbs
Water: working on getting it all in before bed
Exercise: nothing

Steps: 1014-6650


5 for 90
1. Make some time for myself—I spent the morning doing pretty much nothing and it was nice
2. Exercise 30 minutes a day—hurt my back yesterday so today was a rest day for it.
3. Hydrate-it will all be drunk by bedtime
4. Give up a “Trigger Food”—I controlled all my triggers and kept to my plan
5. Thankful—I’m thankful that tonight is ladies Bible study. I LOVE these women so much and our conversations that range from the deepest aspects of God to how unfair gravity is on our boobs.

Under Construction Twist challenge:
Day 3: Exercise 30 minutes? Goals for end of the year?
I didn’t exercise today because of my hurt back. My goals for the end of the year are to strengthen my back so that I can get fitter and stronger as I move into 2020.

@Wishusdonna - I am SO sorry about the rough day, and so glad you found a friend to talk to. I hope you are now feeling better. Recovery will take a long time. Be kind to yourself and your healing body when you can. We are here and wishing you well. 👐👐👐

Thank you @AustinRuadhain

All last night felt poorly, and I am better today, though I know I'm not battle-fit yet

Calories in the red zone a little bit because it was hubby's turn to cook and he ordered in pizza instead of the lamb he'd defrosted to eat with mash and greens, he was feeling just too tired.

1. Time - nothing relaxing. Recorded my podcast.
2. Exercise - 11137 steps
3. hydration, yes - 9 cups.
4. Trigger food - not so much trigger as calorie-heavy pizza. Pizza is fine if you keep the portion to a couple of slices and have salad I think. But you don't tend to when you feel meh, do you?
5. Yays - am not complaining about getting pizza!
