Today's inspiration:
It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop!!!2 -
CW 158 lb
GW back to 135-138 lb
Aiming this month to check in with my IRL coach once a week. Online check-in here doesn't seem to hold me to my plan as much. Nothing personal, folks.
I will keep trying though. Southern vacation coming up at the beginning of March. I want to be the hot senior on the beach, lol. 2 -
Okay I think I will kind of do a week by week thing. This week my goals are:
1. Eat more veggies and fruit.
2. Do a light workout 3 times this week.
3. Take apple cider vinegar daily.
4. Cut back on portion sizes.

This is my first time joining a challenge. I need the accountability.
1. Stay under 50g net carbs everyday
2. Log my food every day
3. Exercise 4 times a week - cardio & strength training each session
4. Drink at least 64oz of water a day2 -
So far (okay, it's only been 3 days) I've met all of my goals.2

I’ve figured out what this months goals should be 🙂👍
Gluten free eating-
Sugar free lifestyle (no sugar added)-
5,000 steps daily-
Increase water intake-
Exercise 3x per week-
Daily planning/tracking-
Intermittent Fasting-
These are small and specific goals for me to focus on daily. I’m still going to be eating within calorie/carb limits. I’ve had trouble lately with eating gluten when I know it makes me ill. And sugar has taken ahold of me since my popcorn binge. Small attainable goals will hopefully keep me focused.
Thanks for starting another monthly challenge. I enjoy them.2 -
Lunch today was mindful at my desk- I put leftovers in the fridge at work to avoid overeating, so score! Then stress kicked in and I snacked after dinner so mindfulness went out the window along with being over calories. I will be working on finding a balance that works for me - gauging the right amount at lunch to avoid overeating at night. Some days I hit it, others not so much.3

When I posted my goals for February- totally forgot I would be out of town the whole weekend+!
So... everything was a bit of a challenge--> basically no challenge
1. Workout: cardio (need to start jogging, again) OR weights-->4 up to 6 times a week.
Friday-Monday: epic fail on all days
2. Weigh/log food daily: (using my tiny scale...lol)
Friday-Monday: epic fail on all days
3. Keep carbs to a minimum: daily <50
I was mindful & did good with this, except on Sunday
4. Tan: at least 3 times a week
I got 3 done
5. Try 10 new recipes based on my WOE
Currently, looking for a recipe...
6. Clean out garage by end of month
Thursday morning got rid of a mound of trash/recycling (trash day)
Doesn't look great, though I have no worries. I haven't stopped or fallen off anything. Friday through Sunday was spent mostly in a vehicle. I only had a small amount of time to myself, though was lacking sleep. I was home on Monday, but spent the day catching up on household chores/preparing for the remaining week.
Today is my 'start' for the month.2 -
Day 3:
1. Eat within cal/carb limits
2. Do scheduled strength training
3. Do 20 min cardio
4. Find some daily inspiration and share it
Yesterday was hard to stay within food limits, and I did have a hangry moment when I got home from work super hungry...BUT...I managed to eat a sensible snack, and went to yoga/pilates as scheduled, and ate on plan afterward, so all in all a successful day, if a somewhat challenging one.

Check in for Feb 3
1. get rid of 5 lbs by 2/29. Work in progress
2. stay < 35 net carbs daily. Did good, even had some carbs available for some popcorn at my nephew's basketball game
3. stay < 1,500 calories daily. Stayed under goal
4. intermittent fasting 16:8 every day. So far so good, one day at a time
5. Plan ahead every day. I have all my work day meals ready to go in the fridge and a plan for dinner every night.
I like the daily inspiration, keep 'em coming! Thank you.4 -
Feb 3
on-plan cals:
lower day
on-plan carbs: lower day
workout: 1/6 cardio
NEAT:
Yesterday was super easy. It hit 67 deg here. Sunny. I got to walk outside today. Glorious. No freezing to death until the evening and was motivated to NEAT around a lot despite it being my lower cals/carbs in my cycling protocol.

Feb 4: I can’t say either lunch or dinner was mindful, but portions were on target, everything logged and currently under calories for the day. Water consumption is okay and will continue for another couple of hours. Kitchen is on lockdown now so let the fasting begin!1

Walk a minimum of 10,000 every day this month
1300 calorie daily goal for month
Stretch 10 min each morning
No eating after dinner

Day 4:
1. Eat within cal/carb limits
2. Do scheduled strength training
3. Do 20 min cardio
4. Find some daily inspiration and share it
I was doing good for the day until I got home and there weren't any good snacks so I had a glass of wine...small glass...then did my workout to the tune of another glass of wine...then another with dinner...then another after dinner...calories were not on target, but not horrible either...it's just that there's no nutrition there...I could have had more protein, I could have been better, and I just didn't...today will be more of a challenge because lunch and dinner are both social events...so, I will need to be more diligent, and I'm thinking no alcohol today...
