FITNESS WARRIORS DECEMBER CHAT

Hey Team, got a quick question.
My wife wants a fitbit for Christmas. I'm an android guy (Garmin), so I don't know anything about fitbits. She wants the square one, but has to have a watch face with a sweeping second hand thats she can see without readers. She doesn't run marathons, doesn;t need split times, or any of that stuff. Just wants to record steps, biking, HR, etc.
I noticed the Fitness Blaze Special Edition has the watchface she likes, but it also has tons of features she is not interested in.
Any input will be appreciated. Thanks.

What roadblocks do you face?
Postings from last week from our amazing team! Ty Kai @confidentravren for compiling the list!
Here are some of my favorite websites concerning roadblocks that can hinder our goals! Also, my own comments! Hope everyone is having an awesome Tuesday!
Fitting in more veggies or fruits
Check out: https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/add-color/how-to-eat-more-fruits-and-vegetables
I also love making soups as my husband care for veggies! Great way to add more veggies in.
Drinking enough water
Check out: https://www.self.com/story/how-to-drink-more-water
I keep a water bottle around me all day long.
Me, myself, and I get in my way / I’m just bored so I eat
I just want a snack!
Check out: https://www.canyonranch.com/blog/nutrition/6-ways-to-control-your-food-cravings/
I limit my trigger foods that I know once I start I will not want to stop. Am I really hungry or board, stressed, etc.
I have no time to cook
Check out: https://www.self.com/gallery/easy-ways-to-eat-healthy-when-youre-busy
Plan ahead and prep ahead! Instead of grilling chicken for dinner for one evening make a large batch that you can freeze and pull out on busy nights.
It’s the WEEKEND!
Check out: https://skinnyms.com/11-tips-staying-track-weekend/
Plan the menu for the following week.
Taking time to plan healthy recipes for the upcoming week will make you more aware of what you are (or aren’t) putting into your body over the weekend. Love also, put in a longer workout.
My family and friends
Check out: https://www.shape.com/healthy-eating/diet-tips/how-stick-healthy-habits-holidays-unsupportive-family
Calmly explain your goals to your family and the support your would appreciate their support!
Have a wonderful Tuesday team!2 -

Tea time! 🍵
Tonight I am enjoying a fragrant white called pomegrateful. Ahh, bliss.
Last night I opened a new tea that I picked up for free with my frequent Steeper points: gingerbread blondie. It was heavy on the ginger. Disappointing, since I have a number of other ginger teas. And I must say, I haven’t been able to stomach it very well since my first pregnancy when I ate those ginger nausea tablets like nobody’s business. Not great memories.
The night before was a black tea called chocolate covered almond. It was lovely and filled that craving for a little snack.
This afternoon I had a plain Kenyan black at school. Sometimes you need something uncomplicated to bring you back in balance.3 -

Check in for 12/10
Stay under my calorie goal (2210) ✔ 1947
Get 5,000 steps a day✔ 9,221
No eating out ✔
Exercise for at least 20 minutes a day. ✔ 20 minute exercise bike and
No caffeine after 1pm (my dr's suggestion for sleep issues) ✔
I used some of the extra calories and they ended up helping a lot! I finally felt like I had energy once I’d eaten dinner and I’m still feeling good this morning. I told my husband that it was as if I had finally caught up to what my body needed.
