    Logged: yes
    Under cals: yes!
    Exercise: no
    Water: 5 glasses.

    Thoughts: did OK today. I did have chocolate and felt like I shouldn't have, but I didn't go nuts and I'm still under calorie limit (just) so it's OK.
    I'm a little worried about tomorrow evening, on Fridays I spend the evening with family and we have a chippy tea and watch movies. Obvs chip shop chips are not low cal friendly, and I don't know whether to save my calories for the evening, or whether to relax a little and not worry too much.
    I weigh on Saturday and I so desperately want a loss and don't want to ruin it at the last minute haha

    1. Log everything : Yes
    2. Stay inside your allotted daily calorie budget : no
    3. Do at least 20 minutes of activity daily. yes, but failed short on my daily step count goal
    4. Report each day - yes

    I am committed to logging the good the bad and the ugly, and I logged it all yesterday. I went over my daily burn even but nothing dramatic. I went on the scale again this morning and I am nearly 2kg (1.9kg) under what I was on 1st of January. Maybe my body needed little bit of a rest and one day eating at maintenance.

    However I would like to do better today.

    Have a super healthy Friday group! Are we all set for stay on track during the weekend?

    Here is the link to the spreadsheet again

    I have tried to go through and update the numbers I've seen posted here, but I know I have missed some(there are so many of us!)

    If possible, could you guys give the numbers a look and adjust any numbers I have made mistakes on or missed completely?

    Thanks :)

    @brandi_84 nice loss! What kind of scale did you get?

    @cmhubbard92 As part of my health coverage I have access to Livongo - a weight management program. When I signed up they sent me a free scale. It's nothing real special. It's digital and sends my weight to the app.
    I was happy to get it though because I had been using my old Wii fit balance board. It wasn't very convenient. But I would never think to get a new scale while I was out somewhere that sold them.

    I also have access to one on one weight management coaching through the program but haven't used it yet.

    Tracked - yes
    Under - no (seriously - hospital food is really unhealthy. They offered 3 options - burgers, fried asian food and a salad bar. Unfortunately the lettuce looked like it had been there for days)
    Exercise - yes 60 min Spinning. Love that early 6:30am class time
    Water - No. Too much coffee, not enough water.

    @cmhubbard92 - I updated my spreadsheet numbers. Thanks.

    Urgh this week has been tough. After a 3.5lb loss last week I have stayed the same every day for the past 4 days! TOTM so hopefully it's water!

    @cmhubbard92 Thank you, the spreadsheet is really pretty!
    The only “problem” is that I always put a 0 in the food challenge section(since I haven’t participated in it), but for some reason, there is a 1 in place of the 0 whenever I go to put in the stats for the day. That’s not a problem for me if it’s okay for you, just ignore that column when you calculate weekly results. 😅

    @p_mad I don't know why that keeps happening! I haven't been adjusting your numbers, so it's really odd! Especially because this happened last month, too! I'll just remove the food challenge for you :)

    Mini Accountability Challenge for NerdyPrincess92

    10th Jan

    Logged: yes
    Under cals: yes!
    Exercise: no not really, a short walk (15min) to the pharmacy
    Water: 5 glasses.

    Thoughts: so I avoided the chip saga. This cold is really hanging around and has settled on my chest so I convinced my sister to make chicken and vegetable soup for us tonight. It was bloody lovely (as always, it's on of her best dishes) though I had no idea on cals so have guessed. I tried to over-estimate the calories but no idea to be honest.
    I weighed this morning as I couldn't wait, but will weigh again properly in the am and update my weight :smile:

    Made it through the first full week back at work - very much looking forward to a lie in in the morning!
