Tracked: yes:)
Net carbs:32
Weight: 181, weird ups and downs

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 20 minutes on the recumbent bike, 6.09 miles
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes2 -
I need some motivation. It's been storming here and the gym closed at 9. Why would a gym close at 9? They have three clubs, you would think one of them would stay open until midnight. It's stopped raining and it's crazy but it's 69 degrees outside, I should go out there and walk before another storm starts but I just can't seem to make myself go out there. It's so dark. If I'm not careful I will end up walking around my living room for 20 mins nonstop just so I can get my exercise in. Tomorrow is weigh in day. I should literally get up and quit watching football.2

Exercise at least 20 mins? You betcha! 😁 I made myself do it but I walked 4 miles! I really really didn’t want to! 🙄 But so glad I did!
Logged? Yes
Tracked? Yes
I knew tomorrow was weigh in day and I also knew that I needed to get up and do something, no matter what it was. I went outside and went around the neighborhood. Luckily the rain ☔️ had broken for a short amount of time. The one thing I’ve learned though is I need some new shoes!3 -
January 12
Exercised?: Yes (6 km walk in 47 mins)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Drove 90 minutes to have lunch with my wife's mother, then 90 minutes back again. Was nice to be with family. Lunch was at a Japanese restaurant, very nice food, but restrained from overeating.
Fortunately, less disruptive day with our daughter today, but I can feel areas where I am still struggling.
The eighth mini-challenge is: Spend 1 minute focused on the topic of "over-generalisation"
This is similar to the mindful breathing exercise. Sit and calm your mind and focus on a single topic. Only for a minute.
The topic of "all or nothing thinking" comes from "Feeling Good" by David D Burns and is part of cognitive based therapy.
"Over-generalisation" is a common thinking error when we look at a single bad event as repeating endlessly. Like if you mess up and eat ice cream when you told yourself you wouldn't you conclude I have no self control, I have never had any self control, I will never learn, I will always pig out.
The truth is that, any event has multiple causes (some obvious and some hidden) and any changes in the causes will change the event.
History will not repeat endlessly if you change the causes.
There will be a number of these 1 minute mindful reflection topics throughout this month.1 -
Good morning! Welcome to January's Week 2. I'm committing to myself to make this a better week than last week. Will you join me? Today we’re looking for weigh-ins from:

Sorry haven't posted my weight
it's been up and down su much, how is that possible?! Last Monday 86.1 kg by Thursday 85.5 and today 86.5 ???? First day starting couch 25k after 2 years, hope my body will work with me and I will get back running. I find it so hard not to eat after dinner, I reach for the treats around 9 pm and can't break this pattern (

@coccolino30, sorry it's been a struggle. Maybe you can try reaching for healthy snacks at night, like carrot sticks, celery, etc. This journey is sometimes more mental than physical. You can do this!! Great going with the C25K!!
@SillyCat1975, wonderful loss!! Congrats!
@33sandy1223, ONEDERLAND!!!

@coccolino30. Small steps. Little wins.
#1. IGNORE DAILY WEIGHT. This is probably the hardest. You need a 7 day average to make any sense as to what is truly going on. Daily weight can fluctuate by up to 2 kg A DAY. MOST of this is water. Higher soduim (salt) diet, cooler temperatures, less sleep you TEND to retain water. Lower soduim, warmer temperatures, more sleep you TEND to expel more water (through breathing and skin evaporation as well as the obvious).
#2. Forget yesterday. Do not try compensate for yesterday. Assuming 6km is you average day. 3km yesterday and 9km today does not equal 6km yesterday and 6km today. You do just as well doing 3km yesterday and 6km today.
#3. If feeling like a treat after dinner, try this little trick. 1) Have a glass of water, 2) set a timer for 10 mins on your phone 3) If the timer goes off after 10 mins and you still feel like a treat, have one (but not while watching TV, or surfing the net/social media on computer/tablet). If you have a treat, after the water, you know that a) you need it, b) you earned it, c) it's not just dehydration/thirst in disguise.
Do not try to change too much at once. Do one small step at a time and credit yourself for each small step you make. Reward ALWAYS works much better than punishment.3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? A 29-minute walk with Ollie, 1.11 miles

I started this weight loss journey 1 year ago today. I hit the 90 pound loss mark yesterday and I am so excited that I have come this far in 1 year. I still want to lose another 30 pounds by my sons wedding, the end of June, so I have 5 1/2 months.
Today I decided to treat myself with a cappuccino from WaWa. Yes its full of sugar and for one day I decided its okay. I used to drink two 24 ounce of these twice a day which is crazy to see this now but that would of been 107 grams of sugar a day, just in this drink alone.
So today I decided to treat myself to only one for 31 grams of sugar and I have stayed under my sugars for the day. The next treat will be when I hit 100 pound lost.6 -
awesome. yay. go Gutbusters2

@matthewsfive, so proud of all you have accomplished!! I get a kick out of my trips to Florida when I see the Wawa's. Funniest name ever!!
