I slept really weird last night... and I'm paying for it today with a migrane, neck and back pain
Im heading to bed soon so I can try to feel better! I haven't had much of a chance to answer back to all the great things happening in the group today! I will check with you all tomorrow and see what's going on 
Hope you feel much better after a good sleep Christine x
@coral333 thank you. It doesn't hurt as bad, but it is still bothering me.... oh well, today will be better 0 -
Hey there! I'm afraid I was not able to grab a weight before leaving for the airport yesterday. If you like, @cmhubbard92, you can use my weight from Saturday, which was 217, or wait til I get back and use Wednesday's weight.
In the meantime, I'm doing the best I can while traveling. So far I've erred to the side of too few calories rather than eating unhealthy foods and restricted the drinking -- and recorded it when I did. I'm fortunate in that there's a Whole Foods near my hotel so I've been walking over there for meals instead of eating out.
Haven't been able to exercise, but walking to and from the train stations, and around the conference and the airports has helped keep my step count higher than usual. And I still have the rest of the week to get regular cardio and other workouts in. All things considered, I'm happy with my choices and hope they show results when I get home.
I hope everyone else is having a great week!

@Kathi7501 I will leave that choice up to you. If you feel like submitting a weight tomorrow, feel free I will just copy last weeks over if you don't submit a weight for this week 0 -

It’s taken me ages to get my head back in the game after Christmas. It’s made me realise I rely on routine and then discipline to keep going.
The things that have helped get me focused again are: a taekwondo grading in 2 weeks, a tournament where I need to get into a weight category I’m not in yet (signed up for middleweight), a 10k the day before my tournament (so need to be fit and resilient) and picking up my wedding dress in 2 weeks.
I think having a challenge to focus on keeps me on track too.
You all look like you’re doing awesome work with the challenges. I’m afraid they’re not quite my kind of thing. What I’ve really enjoyed here is some conversation and interaction so I wondered if people would like some questions to encourage this?
If so I’d be interested to know: who made New Years resolutions and do you have a plan to achieve them? Have any resolutions fallen by the wayside and why?
Wishing you all a good week x
I love the idea of some questions @lozenger1984
My new year’s resolutions are/were:
Complete Yoga with Adriene 30 days to home (on track)
Complete dry January - broke this one as my best friends and I went shopping for an engagement ring for her girlfriend and so we had some drinks to toast them
Journal weekly - on track
Get to a BMI of 27 in 2020
I did the yoga challenge a couple of years ago and really liked it!
Hopefully your journal king will get you that Bmi of 27 too!

If you have done 20+ minutes of extra walking I would count as exercise.
Great job making healthy choices away from home. I hope you have a great week.0 -

My resolution is to find that routine and discipline. That is truly where I am struggling. Once routine goes I forget to hold on to discipline.

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
Made it through the first full week back at work - very much looking forward to a lie in in the morning!
@nerdyprincess92 Chicken and vegetable soup does sound like a much better meal for a cold. I hope you are feeling better this week.0 -

Starting: 183.9
Week 1: 182.5
Week 2: 183.2
Very frustrating as I worked hard to keep track and stay under most of last week even when I didn't exercise. This week I have been exercising and counting calories. But I did wake up to a big bloated stomach that I can't seem to get rid of. I'll keep tracking and hope for better outcome next week and for this stomach to go away.5 -
