Happy dance, although I know a lot of that weight was water etc from too much salt and processed yumminess last week.... now to get two losses in a row.... time to keep focus, not my strong point in 2020 so far!
Have a great Thursday one and all

WEDNESDAY RECAP:
CALORIES: Under
STEPS: Minimum met
WATER: Yeppers!!
ALCOHOL: None - 4 day streak
Yesterday I accidentally performed IF. I was planning to have breakfast as normal, but got busy and looked down at my clock to see that it was 11 AM. Too bad the second half of the work day didn't go as fast. I am going to attempt this again today. DH and I are going out to dinner tonight. If I have breakfast, I will have 700ish calories to work with tonight. If I skip, will have closer to 1000. Just weighting my options. I think if I have half of my breakfast it will just make me grumpy and want the whole thing - anyone else get like this?2 -

A day late for my Weds workout photo, but these ladies and I walked in the park yesterday. Over 2 miles of smiles and laughs! It's amazing how friends make a workout easy.

@mari_moulin posted the information below on her timeline today. I thought it was very enlightening. The snip comes from an article found here:
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/weight-loss-motivation-tips
3. Focus on Process Goals
Many people trying to lose weight only set outcome goals, or goals they want to accomplish at the end.
Typically, an outcome goal will be your final target weight.
However, focusing only on outcome goals can derail your motivation. They can often feel too distant and leave you feeling overwhelmed.
Instead, you should set process goals, or what actions you're going to take to reach your desired outcome. An example of a process goal is exercising four times a week.
A study in 126 overweight women participating in a weight loss program found those who were process focused were more likely to lose weight and less likely to deviate from their diets, compared to those who focused on weight loss outcomes alone.
Consider setting SMART goals to set strong goals. SMART stands for:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Realistic
Time-based
Some examples of SMART goals include:
I will walk briskly for 30 minutes five days next week.
I will eat four servings of vegetables every day this week.
I will only drink one soda this week.
Summary:
Setting SMART process goals will help you stay motivated, while focusing only on outcome goals can lead to disappointment and decrease your motivation.
************************************************
What are some of your SMART goals?
Yep, this is my approach to exercise (mostly) - I try to exercise everyday first thing in the morning as a process or habit, doesn’t matter so much what I achieve as long as I do it.
That said, I have set myself some small outcome goals for this month too, mostly because I have found myself “cruising” a little, getting bored with the exercise routine and being a bit lazy about it: to be able to do a proper form push-up by the end of the month (at the moment I can do heaps of inclined pushups against my kitchen table, but I lose form if I try to do them more horizontal, so I am working up to it) and to be able to flexibility goal to comfortably touch my toes (may or may not achieve this by the end of the month, but I’m doing yoga sequences that focus on hamstrings and calves as I am very tight in these spots, and I have seen improvement). I’m not going to be devastated if I don’t achieve these by the end of the month, but they are something to work towards (as I have already implemented the process of daily exercise).

Thursday RECAP:
CALORIES: Under
STEPS: Minimum met
WATER: Yeppers!!
ALCOHOL: None - 5 day streak
Had dinner out last night and stayed under calories! YAY ME!!! I have today completely planned and ready to go!
I did have breakfast today - it felt good
I have a family thing tomorrow. Typically this means a lot of bad food and drinking. I have agreed to be the DD for my in-laws. So, I will only take a 6 pk... of Sprite Zero. I do not know the menu, so will do the best I can with what I am presented.6 -

Thanks for reminding everyone! I do the search for missing weights Sunday morning around 8:00 ET, so if you get them in during the wee hours of Sunday, you decadent people, than it is OK.

I keep dancing around this weight but I’m seeing progress during the week.And we’ve got to move our dining out night from Thursday to Friday! This also may or may not have something to do with all those Thin Mints that jumped out of my freezer this week. 😋5 -
Hi Everyone,
Pw: 150
Cw: 149.2
My past weight was taking on Monday(I was late joining this challenge) and the new weight was this morning. I am glad to see a small but at least some progress. Workout was the same but this week I only eat whole foods and no chocolates for me. I look forward to more progress and to help our team win 5 -

Here are my steps for week one of march.
Sunday is my day of planning for the week ahead.... already got a couple of recipes highlighted and on with my list so I don't stray at the supermarket. Must also get a decent run in today.
Generally happy with march week one. Didnt add any other exercise other than running into my routine, so want to work on that for week 2!
Have a great day one and all

Steps were low beginning of week, but ramped it up towards the end; however, Friday was a travel day to Wausau for Oak Creek H.S. Varsity Bowling Team that my husband coaches all volunteer work, no pay. Team finished 5th out of 80 teams throughout the state of Wisconsin!! Very proud of him to get the team to qualify for 7th year in a row!!😘2 -
