Mine main reason is for my health as my weight affects my fybromyalgia and hEDS. I also want to look better and get back into my clothes. I always feel more confident and walk taller when I am thinner1 -
Thursday Weigh Day
PW: 251.0
CW: 253.2
I feel like I have been on a cycle of gaining and losing the same 5 pounds over and over this year. Hmm, a lot like last year🤔.
I was making some progress early in the year, then Covid hit, the gym closed, work situation is weird, minor toe surgery, blah, blah blah...NO MORE EXCUSES!!!
I have gained back a few pounds, but I'm at about the same place I started in January. Could be worse.
Goals for the next week (especially the weekend):
Log all the foods-including the things that are not aligned with my goals-and do it honestly-one serving of Ruffles-yeah right-more like five?
Do something active each day-I re-satrted Couch to 5k yesterday, did some yoga this morning, and hope to get a walk in at lunch. I plan to get a workout space cleared and set up in the garage this weekend.
Happy Thursday!

I'm following just healthy eating and exercise- as much as possible. 3 meals and a snack a day
I look forward to getting to know you all!4 -

Weekend Challenge
I just wanted to keep it fairly simple this weekend. There are 5 tasks to complete each day. You get 1 point for each one you complete with a maximum of 5 points a day. You can let me know each morning how you did the previous day. The person who has the most points after the weekend gets bragging rights for the week. Let’s all get maximum points this weekend!
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
1. Track everything! The good the bad and the ugly!
2. Stay within calorie goal. I think this is a big one for a lot of us on the weekends.
3. 20 minutes of exercise each day. What you do is your choice but try to challenge yourself and try something new.
4. No takeout or dining out!
5. Stay hydrated! Reach your water goal each day as it is easy to not do this when we are out of our weekday routine.

DAILY GOALS:
10,000 steps per day: Not met
I had a big plan all day and even bought myself new headphones for my run only for it to be a torrential downpour by the time I got home. UGGH!
1/2 Gallon of water per day: Goal met! It took quite a bit just to get that down...my job at the surgery center is a sedentary desk job so it is completely unlike my hospital days so walking AND drinking water is a big challenge for me there.
Lower Soda Intake: GOAL MET! I had about 6 oz of a 12 oz can this morning and about 3/4 of a 20 oz this evening so give or take 13oz?
Exercise daily: GOAL MET! (well it will be, I am going to do some squats and some yoga before bed to workout some frustration.
Today has been...a day lol. Started out positively but I was just utterly and completely annoyed with everyone and everything by the end of it. I think it is because I have so much to do and not enough time to do it so it is kinda stressing me out. But alas, I will get it all done because you know...#MomLife
I work at the hospital again tomorrow so I will definitely get my steps up and drink much more water than I did today. Also before I go to bed I am getting my lunch together and going to remember to pack my flavor enhancers to help increase my desire to drink it. Often I feel like I hit a wall once I get to the halfway point.
I did an 18.5 hour fast today and didn't even eat all my lunch so I am getting my appetite back under control which is super good! I am getting back to fasting daily and so far it seems that it has been doing me well. I am officially 1.6 pounds away from meeting my weekly goal of 8 pounds so looking forward to surpassing that goal!
Hope ya'll have a great night and I'll see ya'll tomorrow evening!
You are doing so well with lowering your soda intake. I know how tough this one can be. I love flavour drops in my water also. It makes it go down so much easier. What flavours do you use?
Today I used a collagen infused strawberry lemonade packet from Walmart. They're meant for regular sized water bottles so I put two in (they had sugar in them which I wasn't happy about, but I didn't notice when I bought them) so it was super diluted. It was alright I will stick to my great value fruit punch packets in the future though

Steps for today: 8,193
DAILY GOALS:
10,000 steps per day: Not met but I am okay with that because I worked my toosh off today!
1/2 Gallon of water per day: Goal surpassed!
Lower Soda Intake: Ehhh... I ended up caving and getting a 20 oz at lunch in addition to my 12 oz can I had before work. 32 oz is a lot better than what I started with, but not my best.
Exercise daily: GOAL DEFINITELY MET! It may not have been in the gym or on a run (Thanks to the rain) but I had a couple of patients who were altered mental status and those patients keep you on your toes and they are strong as can be! I was lifting, moving, changing, everything lol. I definitely count that as a decent workout!
Today was pretty good! I probably would have gotten my steps in if it weren't for the paper I have to write so anytime I had a moment in between patients I was working on that. Tomorrow I'm back at the surgery center and really hoping for that run tomorrow night. I usually hope for rain but I need it to not rain tomorrow lol. After that, I'm working 3 twelves in a row at the hospital so I'll be pretty rundown lol.

For me, I feel better. Wayyyyy more energy and motivation to do anything. I also believe that my mental health is greatly affected. When I feel better I feel like I'm a better mom, daughter, and nurse!3 -

Weigh In Day: Friday
Steps: 21953 -
I felt like I was going to have a great day, food wise, THEN... my daughter and grand daughter got locked out of their house. I had to drive 40 minutes to take them to her husbands work to get the house key. Then decided to stop and see my dad on my way home. I missed lunch due to this and didn't take my protein shake. So when I got home this evening, I was looking forward to a piece of chicken breast for dinner. My son ate it all. I wanted something fast and instead of eating some oatmeal or bran cereal I decided on leftover gravy with biscuits.. and not just one but 2... then to top it off another biscuit with butter and honey. So that was shot to hell.
I am praying I didn't do too much damage this week for my weigh in tomorrow. November is in a couple days. I really want to make my goals by Nov 21st. So time to get serious... I am too old to keep slipping up like this.2 -
