    Username: mari_moulin
    Weigh in week: 2
    Weigh in day: Saturday
    Previous weight: 189.6
    Current weight: 188.8

    Steps: 13,876
    Exercise: Gym session (❤️+ 💪🏻)

    Happy Saturday! Welp this wasn’t the loss I was hoping for this week but it’s a loss. It’s been going at a snails pace so I don’t know why I’m slightly disappointed about this if it’s exactly what was expected. However on a much better note, my measurements are all down as well which I can totally now feel in my clothes! I’m no longer doing the dance to get my trousers over my hips!! And I’m no longer sucking it in to close my belt lol. So good change is happening I just need to learn a little more patience. Slow and steady.....slow and steady.

    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 (❤️+💪🏻 M, T, T, F)
    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.

    Saturday check in:

    Calories: way over
    Exercise: none and steps not met
    Water: not near enough

    Week 3 goals:
    1. Stay within my calorie goal average for rest of week.
    2. Swim Wednesday and Thursday
    3. Walk minimum 30 minutes Monday to Saturday
    4. 9000 steps/ day Monday to Saturday
    5. Get up and move every time my Fitbit reminds me

    Today was a bust. My binge eating got the better of me. Unfortunately, even though I have done all the steps to learn to manage it, it rears it head every now and then. I didn’t close my diary as I didn’t want to know what I would weigh in 5 weeks if I ate this way every day.

    I am now curious what a Banff is. I'll have to Duckduckgo it.
    I reread my Valentine post and it sounds a bit yuck. To possibly redeem myself I'll share something I did for my wife. I made a promise that for a year she would never have wilted flowers. So every week and sometimes twice a week I bought her a bouquet.

    My steps for 2/13 are 20169.

    Here you go Thursday 2/13 steps are 20169.
    Saturday 2/15 steps are 18708.

    Definitely sounds like some water weight. Drink lots of water as this will help.

    Travelling makes things difficult. I am sure things will bounce back to normal now that you are home.

    Meal prep will make a big difference. I am retired so I don’t meal prep as such but I do know what I am having each night for supper. It makes a difference in ordering takeout for us.
