I will be doing my first parkrun of the year on Saturday. Does anyone else attend these events?

I wish I could but 1) they dont seem have made their way to portugal yet and 2) I work saturday mornings....... in another lifetime I'll be a park runner!

Steps:
Sunday 5th - 11363
Monday 6th - 15560
Tuesday 7th - 15229

Much happier with stepa progress than food progress! Worked hard to get to 15k on first two days back at work.

Today could easily be a low step day as I'm travelling; but decided luggage isn't too heavy so going to walk to the station instead of taxi at this end and will try and get extra steps in either side of trains and plane.

WEIGH IN REMINDERS:

PAST DUE

UPDATE! F2F's own Habit Tracker

Everyone on any team is welcome to use our habit tracking spreadsheet. The tracking starts on Sunday, but please go in and set up your name and list of habits before then if you can. Here is how it works:

1.open https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hGjC7OQrH9Cb8U5gmkeax8VXYm2wsTiSYg43Dg0s_LE/edit?usp=sharing
2.go to the bottom, and choose your team from the tabs
3.put your MFP use name in the column on the left (highlight "name" and type in yours to replace it)
4.add up to five habits you want to track daily
5.check the box when you do it!

It is completely up to you to update your own tracking. Do it every time you finish, daily, weekly - however you want. Just be sure it is complete at the end of every Saturday so we can include this in the weekly winners circle! Any problems? Message @jugar or me for assistance.

I freaking blew it on the weekend and I think it caught up to me. I'm just easing myself from maintenance to deficit. I feel ridiculous because I know I am capable of doing this cuz I've done it before. I want to do it, it's just tougher to actually do. I MUST DO THIS!

Miss Kitty, instead of taking out certain foods, perhaps just controlling the portions would be enough. Take your "normal" spoonful, the put 1/3 back. That way you won't feel as denied, and still get those cals in a deficit. I'm also in cutback mode myself, and it helps to measure things out for a while to really know what a "proper" portion looks like. Little adjustments aren't as painful and may get the job done. Feel the empowerment of better choices!

Wednesday Check In

Calories - Under
Steps - yes and no.... I did not hit 4/7, but I did hit 6+ for the day which is my Jan min goal.
Water - YES

Breakfast yesterday WAS just the peanut butter - this saved me 220 calories and kept me from going over. I was super stoked to end the day at 1127.

I have pre logged today AND included a splurge of homemade Italian herb bread - which I just ate! I am currently at 1239 for the day and 3 waters in. I have 5 more sitting on my desk - Big yeti and airborne. Yep, I'm counting the airborne as water!

Tonight I will be gathering all the last minute stuff for the baby shower. Tomorrow is prep day. I will not now for sure if baby girl will be home today or tomorrow until about noon EST.

NERD SHEET UPDATE:
I have been diligent about updating my nerd sheet for the last couple weeks.
Last week it predicted a 2.5 lb loss and my actual was 1.8
So far this week it is predicting a 1.8 lb loss. Hope it is right!!!

I will be weighing in on Friday since the weekend will be beyond hectic - but a good hectic!

Thursday Goals:
4k steps before I leave work
7k by the end of the day
under 1360 cal for the day - pre logged
DRINK MY WATER



What does everyone else have planned as the weekend comes into view?

Man that makes me crazy. Lol. I stayed in my calorie goal all last week. Must be the salt that did me in. It will come off - I have a love/hate relationship with my scale 🤔

Wow Charles, I just read some of your blog. Thanks for sharing your story! You may have a love/hate with your scale, but at least you have a dialogue. Sometimes any forward progress is a win. I'm glad we're on a team that can help us with accountability and encouragement. Baby steps are helping you gain momentum- to keep losing weight and gaining health. I wish you a successful journey in 2020. We're in it together with you.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the encouragement. If I can ever do anything to help - let me know. I am really glad to have found a fun group! Wishing everyone a great 2020!
