    Saturday check in:

    Calories: under
    Exercise: none except activity in pool with granddaughter and met step goal
    Water: success

    Week 2 goals
    1. Pre plan meals and snacks
    2. Stick to plan
    3. Walk minimum 30 minutes a day
    4. 9000 steps/ day Monday to Saturday

    Didn’t get walk in today cause my leg was really bothering me. Only got to spend an hour at the pool due to the pain. I really want to start swimming more so I am going to buy a membership to the pool. They give a seniors rate at 55 and it is a pretty good deal. I am going to try 3 months and if I use it I will buy a year the next time.

    Hope everyone is having a super weekend!

    Daily Check-in: Saturday 02/08

    Calories: Over 😩
    Water: 2.250L
    Steps: 18,489
    Exercise: Saturday morning 5K run 🏃🏻‍♀️

    Happy Sunday team! Had a very nice day yesterday. I managed my 5K run but finished 1 minute slower from last week. I think this is because I was still tired from Friday nights Zumba event. I am up 0.6 lbs this morning from yesterday which I am going to just assume it’s normal daily fluctuation. Other than eating an extra piece of bread at dinner which put me over for the day, I did really good with my food intake. I had my prepared snack and was very strong when confronted with numerous temptations. TOM is only a day or 2 away so I expect to have some bloat to come along with that as well so we shall see how the week evolves.

    My February goals are......

    Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
    Go to the gym 4 times a week (30min cardio + 1 hour strength on Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Fri)
    Run 5K on Saturday's
    Walk at least 1 hour on Sunday's
    Zumba every Monday night (unless class is cancelled)
    Wednesday’s are rest day.

    Made it through Friday very well, even though we were out of school due to flooding, so yesterday was like a Saturday for me. I did eat out with my daughter at lunch but chose grilled chicken nuggets and fruit cup and that worked well. Snacking was limited and healthy. And, I’m down another .8 today. Steps weren’t much yesterday, though, so I’m going to hit the exercise bike this morning before I start my day.

    Have a happy, healthy Saturday, everyone!

    Steps 2/7 = 6,587

    Sounds like a successful day to me! I’ve never heard of grilled chicken nuggets. Is it pretty much just grilled chicken?

    This week was a harsh reminder where the weight came from. Sorry to let you down. Will be more aware of emotional eating after this week.

    No need to apologize. You avent let anyone down. We all have our ups and downs. As long as you always pick yourself back up each and every time. I also struggle with emotional eating and it’s not easy to power through it. I almost always let myself fall into that deep dark well and then it takes me ages to crawl my way back out. We are here for you. ❤️

    I hope your leg is doing better today. Pool workouts are always great when we are struggling with various aches and pains in our bodies. Such a good form of exercise. I do hope you like it! Congrats on your new pool membership 💪🏻🏊🏼‍♀️

    Oh my sakes, people! I just had a major "ah-ha" moment. Over the last couple months I have been super hungry, even when I'm not hungry. At first I thought I was stress eating but I don't really do that. So I decided to do a little scientific experiment on myself. Every time I started feeling that really annoying phantom hunger, I wrote down everything about how I was feeling and my current environment. Turns out (and I don't know how I feel about the outcome yet) I eat out of annoyance. :o If I am really annoyed or irritated by a person or situation, I look for a distraction and my body will start sending hunger ques regardless of hunger. I can avoid the annoyance by "foraging". I caught myself doing it like 10 min ago. When it doesn't work (cause it never does) I eat until I'm uncomfortable which will then give me an excuse to go hide in my room cause I don't feel good.
    Now I need to figure out what to do about it because the annoyance that is really huge in my house right now isn't going away for quite some time.

    This is amazing insight you have discovered!! This will be a game changer for you!!!

    I’m so sorry to hear about your grandpa @mylifeasoliveoil. Grandparents are special, special people. They leave a big hole in our our lives. I miss mine so much. Take care of yourself

    Previous Weight =179
    Current Weight = 174.6

    Making sure you have me counted in the February Steppers, recent step counts:
    2/4 = 9672
    2/5 = 8470
    2/6 = 5765
    2/7 = 3467
    2/8 = 3978

    Bad case of bronchitis, haven't been moving or eating- just trying to breathe! On meds now so hoping I can slowly get back into the swing.

    @mari_moulin yes they are grilled chicken breast meat cut into bite-sized pieces. I get them at Chick-fil-a. It’s a chain restaurant but their chicken is the BEST!
